Cell Stage was fun in a Pac-manish sort of way. Creature Stage I liked, though they could've added more activities to do. As it currently plays out you roam the land - attack other creatures and eat said creatures or make friends with said creatures. Occasionally you'll be interuppted and told to migrate which has you moving from one nest to the next. It can last a fairly long time if you want to roam the land and…
Pros Neat Aerosmith design on the Guitar Controller. Theres some nice, classic tunes to be played. Video of the band recalling past shows and experiences is good for Aerosmith fans. Cons Theres some tunes that I personally feel ought to be in there that are missing. The games short. It's easier in comparison to previous Guitar Heroes. Like them though I do, I know Aerosmith is not every ones first choice for a…
Pros Looks great Solid game play Decent character customization options Cons Character customization often forces you to wear lame looking outfits simply because they have better stats then the stuff that actually looks good. Star Wars characters feel totally out of place. Cheesy voice overs, whilst initially amusing will grate on your nerves as you play. I never played the original Soul Calibur . I didn't get to…
Hey look, yet ANOTHER Dynasty Warriors game. But this one's actually somewhat different to the last thousand iterations thanks to somewhat interesting strategy gameplay. The main mode here is the Empires mode, which in the beginning has two sceneario's. One fictional and one historical, with more to be unlocked. The Empires mode contains the hack and slash and constant pressing of the "X" button Dynasty Warriors…
Is Mortal Kombat: Armageddon a good game? Yes. If you liked MK: Deadly Alliance and MK: Deception, that is. If you didn't, MK:A won't do anything for you. The game play is more or less the same, the addition of aerial combat, while nice - isn't game breaking nor making. The new fatality system I'm sort of on the fence about. On the one hand, I like that it's more interactive. You do more then smash buttons and watch…
Wii Sports. What can I say? It's great. And it comes with the Wii. It's a pretty good demonstration of what the Wiimote is capable of. Tennis is a tad simplistic, you merely swing the wiimote when the ball is within range of your Mii. But it's easy enough to ignore this when played with another person. Baseball is probably my favorite game in the package, and contains a decent - if not simplistic representation of…
I haven't seen the movies, so I cannot comment on whether it does the films justice or is faithful to them in anyway. Though this game has inspired me to look into them. The game itself though, is a very fun game in its own right. Sure, it's a GTA clone. But it's a good clone. And in someways better then GTA. Like the extortion system. Throughout the game you'll have to extort various buisnesses for profit. And this…
Well. It's good. It took time to get used to the fact that you don't grow levels in your skills as fast as you do in the demo, so you shouldn't expect to jump into the game and be leaping tall buildings in a single bound and throwing trucks at people five minutes in. Still, it doesn't take THAT long to level - so before you've even taken out the first kingpin, assuming you don't do it right away - you'll likely have…
It's not the greatest game in the world, but it IS great. It's controls aren't 'clumsy', it does take a little getting used too but it shouldn't be long before your flying all over the battlefield, hurling explosives blasts of energy all over the place. The meat of the game is the story mode and theres a lot to play through, spanning throughout Dragonball Z/GT and also the movies. With a whole host of characters to…
Theres not much to say about this game, really. It's nothing especially new or special, but thats not to say it isn't fun - while it lasts anyway. It won't take you too long to plow through. Levels basically consist of running and gunning your way through rooms full of armed foes, looking to kill you right back - they also through in the occasional, simple enviromental puzzle that usually involves shooting an object…
I don't have all that much to say about it. Halo is a great series and I'm loving Halo 3. Is it overrated? Probably. It's not doing too much different then Halo 2 did. But why fix what ain't broke? Theres a noticable graphics improovement in there, as you'd expect. The game looks sharp in pretty much all areas of the game. This won't change the fact that walking through eerily familiar hallways and areas throughout…
Just a brief review. Guitar Hero 3 is a fairly by the books sequel in most respects. It's Guitar Hero 2. But more! And more Guitar Hero is never a bad thing. You should know by now whether you like Guitar Hero and whether you want more if it. To talk about the new stuff a bit, I guess most obvious new mode would be the Battlemode, which throws in Mario Kartesque power ups into the standard Guitar Hero game. It's not…
It kind of saddens me to see some of the bad reviews this game has received, when in reality it's not at all bad. It just seems to me some people expected too much. Why they did I don't know. The main purpose for this style of Pokemon game has always been to bring the Pokemon Battle formula we know and love to a third dimension and it does just that and a fine job of it too. About the only thing this game lacks that…
So EA's Co-op shooter after some delay has finally came out. Was it worth the wait? Yes and no. It's a good game, of that you can be sure. As a Co-op fanatic, this game is heaven. That it can be played Splitscreen is a plus. Lots of games add online multiplayer nowadays whilst neglecting splitscreen. Some of us want to play with friends in the same room. Some of us aren't willing to purchase an extra 360 and two of…
Pros * Hand to hand combat is fun, nice to look at. * Follows the movies well and adds some from the books too. * Cool cinematics, good use of quick time events. Cons * As the game follows the movies somewhat, having Bourne not be Matt Damon is kind of off putting. * Vehicle sections feel like you're driving on ice. * Whilst improved from the demo, the shooting sections are still pretty weak. * Had a bug a couple of…
Pros * A good variety of characters. Both well known faces and obscure, all of which are fun to play. * Numerous levels and a decently robust level creator to boot. * Tonnes of unlockables. * Attractive graphics. * Excellent soundtrack. Cons * Short story mode. * Perhaps TOO much to unlock? Super Smash Brothers Brawl finally came out at the end of the last month down under and I've had plenty of time with it. Theres…
Pros * Graphically and aurally outstanding. * Engaging story and characters that you'll actually care about. * Improved combat and driving. * Still as funny as ever. * Terrific multiplayer. Cons * More radio stations, but what feels like less music in them. * Customization buffs will feel disapointed given the decrease in options from San Andreas to GTA 4. * Minigames (Drinking, Darts etc) aren't available in…
