    The Prettiest Crap of A Game.
    I really loved the mirror's edge demo.  I loved everything about it from the flow of the game to the controls to what you would be doing in the game.  The demo was the first level of the real game, and the demo is very deceiving.  When the game actually gets going after the prologue the gameplay has continually been on a downward slope from fun platforming to smash my head against a brick wall platforming.  If you are one second off or miss a jump by an inch you are promptly sent to ...

Mirror's Edge Impressions

This post relates to: Mirror's Edge

The Prettiest Crap of A Game.


I really loved the mirror's edge demo.  I loved everything about it from the flow of the game to the controls to what you would be doing in the game.  The demo was the first level of the real game, and the demo is very deceiving.  When the game actually gets going after the prologue the gameplay has continually been on a downward slope from fun platforming to smash my head against a brick wall platforming.  If you are one second off or miss a jump by an inch you are promptly sent to the loading screen.  A few failures here and there are expected, but mirror's edge is over the top with them.  You will be playing fine for an hour and then get to a part that you will be stuck on for a half hour wither continuously missing a jump or trying to figure out how to get to where you need to be.  This game is the definition of trial and error, and be very cautious if you were looking to get this game.  YOU REALLY NEED ALOT OF PATIENCE.

As far as other aspects of the game goes the graphics are exceptional, the contrast between all white backgrounds and then brightly colored areas is genius.  The game is also very innovative and has basically created a new genre of first person platforming, which in future similar realese of the series or a different game fixes a lot of the problems this game has.  The story is also pretty decent, it is better than dead space, and the cutscences are in a different visual style than the rest of the game.  The story does however seem pretty thin as I am about 40% done the game already in about 2 and a half hours of playing, and there has been very little plot and character development outside some general aspects.


Overall I am enjoying the game, but it is ridiculously frustrating.  EA and Dice did a good job, but the actual gameply isnt enough to live up to how I thought this game was going to be.  Right now I give it a 6.5/10.  With a chance that the score could greatly improve, this is the lower end.  I def wouldn't buy the game.

The game is just fantastic.  I honestly have gotten pretty scared from, playing in teh dark and with headphones on.  It is the scariest game I have ever played. 

Today we had our video game club meeting, and we played the Left 4 dead demo like crazy.  Litterally hundreds of fast moving zombies attacking at once.  I will prolly give this game a rent after Mirror's Edge, because it doesnt look liek there is a lot of depth to teh game.

Speaking of Mirror's Edge I have it coming from gamefly very soon.  I absolutly loved teh demo, and have high expectations for the game.  It is just a very cool concept.


Dead Space rating uped to 9.5....only reason why I am not giving it a 10 is because of the lame story, and the campaign only runs about 8-10 hours

You can easily find the next objective in Dead Space bu clicking down the right stick.  Issac uses his kinesis power and marks a line to where the next objective is.  I havent seen this type of precise navigation in too many games.  With that said I am kind of mixed about how effective it is, it is too effective.  The system has taken a lot of down time out of thr game while trying to find objectives, and it makes the game too linear.  It is however very good in keeping the action of the game flowing.  I am just not a big fan of the navigation, it seems to me like dumbing the game down, but it is effective non the less.

This post relates to: Dead Space

After completing the first 4 chapters out of I believe 12 it is safe to say I can write an impressions blog about dead space.

The game started me in control of a space marine(surprisingly did not have huge muscles), on the way to investigate a few problems with a large mineral drilling ship which is ironicly in space.  There are 4 commrades with me, but two of them are killed when teh ship I am in crash lands inside the big ship known as Ishamura.  The two remaining commrades instruct me with various objectives.  In teh first Chapter I had to clear a path and activate the tram system inside ship so I could get to other parts of the ships.  The subsiquint chapters have me going to a different part of the ship in order to retreive something or get some kind of system back online.  So far the story is ok.  Basically the ship was overrun with alien creatures that got into teh ship after the ship drilled into teh alien's planet.  There is a small emotional connection with the other two charecters, but I do not see the story being that great or playing out as a huge part of the game in the future.

The draw of the game for me anyway is the atmosphere it creates.  The ship is pretty creepy, and I was honestly startled a few times when playing.  Creatures tend to jump out when they are least expected to, which really creates an unknowing sense throughout the game.  The creatures themselves only come in a few different skins, and the shooting itself is a large part of the game but there is nothing magical about it.  The graphics are pretty damn good, and the enviorments inside the ship, although limited, are pretty creepy.


Overall game gets a solid 9.0 as of now

posatives:

-great atmosphere

-great graphics and tremendous sound effects

-Unrepetative gameplay


negatives:

-Game is too slow paced

-Aliens all look the same

-a lot of backtracking


recent game ratings:

Dead Space- 9.0

Motorstorm- 8.0

Boom Blox- 7.5

Battle of The Bands WII


Battle of the Bands is a different take on the music rhythm game genre that is full of guitar hero's and sing stars.  With that said the game may be interesting to you at first but after you start the second song the game will become very boring.  The formula used in the gameplay is good, but honestly how fun can moving the WII remote left, right, and down be.  The answer is that it cannot be much fun at all.

The concept behind Battle of The Bands was what I expressed earlier.  The player moves the WII remote in a certain way to the beat of the music.  The notes scroll up rather than down like most music games.  There are also not a lot of notes even on the hard difficulty, and this game was definitely made with the casual gamer in mind.      There are 30 songs in the game, which exceeded my expectations, but the choice of songs is horrible.  You start the game by picking one of the handful of bands in the game.  Each band has a different style, and there are rock bands, marching bands, rap groups, classical groups, and funk bands.  These different playable styles are the highlights of the game.  The game progress through the songs from there in a linear fashion and the game will only last about 4 hours.  

Besides bad gameplay the game also has bad graphics.  That is expected at this point for wii shovelware so im not going to mark the game down for that.

Im glad I rented this instead of buying it, and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Fifa 08 PS3


Difficulty:
Just Right
Time Spent:
40 to 100 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Amazing"
Compliments:
-Funnest Sports game to play
-Awesome graphics and commentary
-Hundreds of hours of depth and gameplay
-Every playable team you could imagine

Complaints:
-Sometimes spotty AI especially with goalies




Fifa 08 is a fantastic entry in the series and is as close as you can get to a perfect soccer game. There was a point when Winning Eleven owned the soccer video game genre, but once the current generation hit Fifa has passed Winning Eleven as the best soccer franchise.

Fifa 08 is the first true fifa game for the 360, and it lives up to all the hype. The first reason why I love this game is because it is downright fun. This is the most fun I have had playing nearly any game of all genres. I have spent countless hours playing fifa 08, and there was not a dull moment. You can easily play this game for 500 hours if you wanted to.

There are many features in the game that make it a great title. The biggest draw is the incredibly deep manager mode where you can play as your favorite team or select a bad team and rebuild them to a powerhouse. On the management side there is a lot to do from scouting to managing finances and players As your team gains experience on the pitch you can upgrade the stats of your players. Fifa 08 also has a great online component with ranked matches, interactive leagues, and even be a pro mode. Be a Pro mode is when you only control one player while keeping the right positioning on the pitch. This mode is fun to play and truly tests your footy skills. The only disappointing game modes are the online leagues in which it is almost impossible to set up and find a player for a league game.

The graphics and commentary in Fifa 08 are outstanding and can not be beat by any other sports game. The player models are outstanding and there are no graphical hiccups to be found anywhere in the game. The same can be said for the commentary as Andy Grey and Martin Taylor provide great voice work. The game also features a wide variety of music tracks for load screens and menu navigation.

Overall Fifa 08 is one of my favorite games. I could easily play this over and over again and it never gets boring. Pick it up now, and look out for fifa 09 in October.

KH Chain Of Memories GBA


Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent:
10 Hours or Less
The Bottom Line:
"Broken"
Compliments:
-Looks great
-Good for hardcore KH fans
-Combat system works

Complaints:
-Grinding to find the right cards is horrible
-Same game done again
-Very short


I was expecting a lot more out of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, but as the game progressed the more i grew to hate it.

KH Chain of Memories takes the 1st version of the game for the PS2 and remakes it using a different combat system and a different story surrounding memories from the first game. All the same characters and levels return, but the levels are scaled downed to GBA size. The levels look very good, but they are very small and are easy to pass through. The biggest flaw with the game involved with level design is that each door opens with a card with a certain number on it. For example, the door to advance to the next room will only open if you have a card with a 2 or less of value. The flaw here is that as you advance you will never have the cards you need and you will have to grind through boring battles for hours in order to find the ones you need. After every battle you get a card that can be used to open doors. I hated this part of the game and really brought down my fun with the game.

The story here revolves around a castle where Sora and his allies enter in order to restore their memories of the events from the first PS2 game. Other than the memory twist the story is the same as the ps2 version just scaled down to one tenth the size. The story was serviceable, but long text dialog will take up most of your time playing in the game.

Battles are fought in this game also using a card system, and you must build your decks a la yu-gi-oh or other games of that nature. The combat works, but eventually you will get bored with it.

The graphics and music in the game are both great. The music is authentic to the first game, and the graphics are vibrant and bright, even though the levels look like cardboard cutouts.

Overall I really enjoyed this game in the beginning, but as I progressed I grew to hate this game. I would only recommend it to true Kingdom Hearts fans.

Rock Band 360


Compliments:
-Four Games In One
-Fantastic Visuals
-Almost Perfect Difficulty Level
-Possibly The Best Multiplayer Game

Complaints:
-Hefty Price Tag
-Some Hardware Issues
-Band World Tour Can Get Insanely Repetitive


Rock band developed by Harmonix and published by EA is the best music game to date.  The now long running Guitar Hero franchise taught us that basics of rocking, but rock band ascends that and gives players a whole band experience.

Rock band not only features guitar, but also bass guitar, drums, and vocals.  Essentially 4 games in one when playing rock band you are sure to find something you like.

The main mode of play in rock band is the band world tour.  Here you and up to 4 other friends can rock out over a career that surpasses 30+ hours of gameplay.  Your band travels around the world completing gigs that sometimes can contain 13 songs or more per gig, sometimes resulting in rock band marathon sessions.  There is also an endless setlist to complete but beware it will equal 6 hours of playing straight without saving, and in all likelihood causing headaches and seizures.  There are hundreds of songs to play in band world tour, but this is the problem with it.  You will no doubt play "Say It Ain't So" and "In Bloom" at least 25-50 times each along with many other songs.  Getting near the end of band world tour felt like a grind and took some fun out of the game.

Besides the band world tour there are solo tours for each of the instruments except bass.  The tours are similar to that of guitar hero, and you just play every song broken up into tiers.  With four difficulties and 4 instruments combined with the band world tour there is a lot of depth here, but beware the game will get boring.        

Two other problems with the game are faulty hardware and a hefty price tag.  When I first bought rock band I had to return it to the store that same day due to a broken guitar and microphone.  The second package I got has been much better and all of the instruments still play great to this day, but they surly are not built with durability in mind.  The second complaint is that the game will put a hefty dent in your wallet due to a retail price of 169.99$.  You can buy the game and instruments separate, but it is cheaper to just get the packaged deal.

Overall Rock Band is my favorite music game and will keep you occupied for a long time thanks to a lot of depth and download content.

Super Monkey Balls


Difficulty:
Very Hard
Time Spent:
10 Hours or Less
The Bottom Line:
"Broken"
Compliments:
- Very cool concept and design
- Sometimes good graphics


Complaints:
-Horrible Control Scheme
-Very Short game made terribly longer by bad boss fights and some extremely difficult sections
-Only a handful of the 50 mini games are even worth attempting




Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz offered a little fun at first but from the first minute you play the quality will spiral downhill until you can not take it anymore.

Super Monkey Ball is often hailed as being a game that uses the wii controller to its fullest potential, but I could not understand how someone would even think that after playing the game. It seems like the wii remote would be a good fit for this type of game, but it simply does not have enough precision to accurately guide your monkey across the courses. You will find yourself moving the wii remote crazily just to keep your monkey on a somewhat straight path. You will also find that the controls often times cause you to fall off the course or miss hitting a boss.

The single player portion of the game has the player going through 8 stages with 8 levels and a boss fight and each stage. This at first may seem like a solid length for a game but each level in a stage will only take you a max of 2 minutes to complete. The overall length for all of the stages is about 4-6 hours depending how good you are, but a few tough stages and boss fights will take up most of that time and it feels like the game should be 2-3 hours in length. The concept and some of the level designs are good but the stages are very difficult made even harder by wonky controls.

The second aspect of the game is the multiplayer mode which consists of 50 party games(the wii is the king of party games). Some of the games are very good such as monkey disc golf and paper sumo fighter but a good 40 out of the 50 games are just terrible and also have horrible control options.

The graphics and sound offer nothing extraordinary, but some of the stages look very cool.

Overall I cannot recommend buying this game at all.

Elite Beat Agents DS


Difficulty:
Hard
Time Spent:
10 Hours or Less
The Bottom Line:
"All flash, no substance"
Elite Beat Agents is a blast to play but there are a few things that really bothered me in this game and really took down the game.

The game overall is fairly simple to play. The player taps along with the beat using the stylus on the touch screen and there are only three types of notes to perform. The note you will see the most is just taping a small numbered circle when the bigger outer circle makes contact with it. In a series of notes they will be the same color and hitting them all perfectly in the right order creates a nice combo. The second type of note is the rolling ball note where you must first tap the note and then keep the stylus on a rolling ball that will be laid out in a track. It is kinda like the long notes in a guitar hero game. The last type of note is just a wheel you must spin as fast as possible using the stylus. More note variety would have improved the game a little.

Since this is a music rhythm game I would expect there would actually be more tracks and better quality tracks. Some of the songs are great such as Skater Boi(yes I am a big Avril fan) and Jumpin Jack Flash, but overall the soundtrack could have been 10 times better. What really sucks is that there is only 19 tracks in all which is really lame for a music game even if it is for the ds. The audio quality was great but I was still disappointed in the music.

The biggest complaint I had about this game was the random ending difficulty and the shortness of the game. I was able to completely beat the game in 4 and a half hours, but the last song took me three of those hours, and the rest of the game only took and hour and a half. I passed every song with flying colors until the last song which took me a good 50 tries or so. What a cheap way to make an extremely short game longer by making an incredibly hard ending song or boss fight. I hate games that do that and in all honesty this game should have only been 2 hours long which is ridiculous. The different stories told in the game are in cool anime cut scenes but the actual stories are horrible.

Overall the gameplay is fun but the game is shallow and at times insanely difficult.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympics DS


Difficulty:
Just Right
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Guilty pleasure"
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics was a pleasant surprise for me and the game is vastly underrated. In the game you will play as one of 16 characters from the Mario and Sonic universe traversing throughout a number of different real life Olympic events. Some of the events the game features are 100m dash, 400m hurdles, Javelin Throw, swimming and diving, fencing, basketball, and many more events. In total there are around 20 or so events including a few dream events. The dream events are altered versions of the Olympic Games which hold suit with Mario and Sonic. In one event Dream Long Jump the game has your character jumping off of a cliff and soaring through the air and then landing on an Island. The variety in the events is very good, but I did not like the dream events too much.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games shines in the control department as the games are fun and for the most part easy to pick up and play. Some of the games such as Long Jump and Vaulting will take some time to get use to but for the most part the controls are right on. In the running events you just rub the stylus on the screen as fast as you can to run the coarse. The same basic controls apply to swimming. In the diving event you must enter button combinations to perform tricks and must hit the water at the perfect angle using the 4 face buttons on the ds. In shooting events you use the stylus to aim your shot, and in some events you use the L or R buttons to fire or you simply use the stylus. Most of the other events use the stylus controls and before you play each event the game shows you the controls making each game a little easier to pick up and play.

The graphics and sound in the game are both pretty good but there is nothing really outstanding. Some of the character models while playing table tennis looked blotchy and rough, mainly since you are looking right at the top of their head, but other then that the graphics are serviceable. The music in the game isn't outstanding either but there are some good sound effects while the events are being played.

Overall Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games surpassed my expectations and was a fun game to play. There is a chance you could find this game near bargain bins so I would advice to pick the game up and give it a shot for around 20$. You will find that there is a staggering amount of depth to be offered in the form of the different events and hundreds of unlockables.

MGS PS1 Review


Metal Gear Solid was Hideo Kojima's first shot at the metal gear franchise, and his first attempt was a masterpiece. 

Metal Gear Solid takes place on a terrorist military base where a super nuclear weapon, metal gear, is being held by the terrorists.  It is up to Solid Snake to shake off the many plot twists along the way and save the world.  The story in MGS is possibly one of the best ever written for a video game, especially a playstation 1 game.  The cut scenes in the game are pretty lengthy, and the voice work is perfect making for a movie like experience. 

The gameplay in MGS involves sneaking past genome soldiers and upgrading snake's keycard to access higher security doors.  Along the way are some tricky boss fights, which are all memorable and some of the best in any game.  All the encounters in the game with bosses and regular soldiers are tense and will keep the player on the edge of their seat.  One of the few problems I had with the game was the somewhat suspect control scheme.  The square button is used to fire weapons, and I plainly was just not use to that(never owned a ps1).  The circle button as the action button was a little confusing also, and it felt awkward using the control pad to move.  The biggest complaint I had was the difficulty of aiming the guns so they actually hit someone.  The sometimes frustrating difficulty of the game was my only other complaint.

The graphics in the game are good, but they are not great.  At some points I felt like I was playing a ps2 game, but at other points I felt like I was indeed playing a ps1 game.  The background and area graphics are great with rich textures, but the character models are horrible, even for a ps1 game.  Because of the quality of teh game the suspect graphics dont even play a part in scoring the game.  As mentioned earlier the sound in the game is A+, mostly led by superb voice acting and sound effects.

Overall I really enjoyed playing MGS, and I will go back and play it again.  I got this as part of the essentials collection, which may possibly be the best gaming deal ever.  If you do not own the collection go out and get it now!!

Rocket Slime DS


Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime is just one of the few rip-offs of the Dragon Quest Series. You play as Rocket Slime who is in charge of saving the city of Slimania after the Plob invades. The player, while battling the plob, will have to save 100 residents of the city.

At its core there are only two gameplay mechanics to the game. The first part is on foot combat and platforming. It is here where you will find most of the slimes the player needs to rescue. The combat consists of power bashing into enemies and boxes which in turn hold the slimes that need to be rescued. The parts of the game when on foot were the funnest part of the game, and collecting 100 slimes isn't nearly as bad of a task as it sounds. The second part of the gameplay consist of tank battles. For the battles all the player does is collect ammo from around your tank and throw them into cannons to shoot at enemy tanks. Once a tank is defeated the player has to get out of their tank and bust the heart open of the defeated tank. It might sound cool, but the tank battles where the worst part of the game, and believe me, you will run into plenty of them along the way. The tank the player uses can be upgraded and supplied with better ammo, and even helpers can join in battle.

Rocket Slime really shines in the graphical and sound departments. The graphics are very good for the nintendo ds, and the colors are very bright and vibrant. This helps create a world in which the player can immerse themselves in. The quirky music will also grab your attention, and that only problem with that is the music will eventually eat out your ears.

Overall I found Rocket Slime to be good and worthy of a play through, but the game is not deep at all and can be finished within 10 hours. I got the game for 10$ and I would say it is definitively worth a shot at that price.

The game on the court plays okay. The a.i is pretty good and their are many difficulty levels to experience. One thing I did not like was the layup system. I couldn't drive to the hoop to often as when contact was made with a opposing player you just stop and loose all momentum. The players cannot also do a simple layup they try to make flashy shots which often doesn't work. The legacy mode is fantastic and has many options. It is one of the best modes in any sports game. You can either start with a low level team or jump right into a big time school. The game also has the other common sports game modes.
7/10

Graphics-

The graphics are fairly good, and are very good for an early 360 title. The player models, crowds, and coaches are all done well. 8/10

Sound-

The sound is just like any sports game. The commentary is good but it is not the best. 7/10

Value-

I rented this game nut it does offer a ton of replayability with the immense legacy mode. I would say it is worth a buy for under 10 dollars since it is an older game. This game made me decide to purchase 2k7 so I guess it is still worth a buy if you dont want to spend the extra few bucks for 2K7.
9/10 Tilt-
This game has both good moments and bad moments.
7/10

Score 7.6 rounded down to 7.5

I will check out Undertow someday, it is probably as good as the other ones. I quite like Opiate though I thought the live songs weren't great but Hush is just great lol I murmur those lyrics often enough.

Yeah Lateralus is my favourite album though I never actually listened to Undertow. Tool CDs are so goddamn expensive in the UK. Duke in September is pretty disappointing but I do have the PC game so I won't cry about it lol
