I decided to start up three new games before I leave for college at the end of the month. Since these are my sisters games i couldn't have taken them to college so i figured i would just play them now.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz-WII
This game is pretty close to being horrible. The controls are really frustrating as well as the leval design and the boss fights. There are 8 single player stages with each stage taking 20 minutes max to complete. So far I have gotten stuck on the 2nd stage boss for a good 20 minutes alone and that isnt right considering teh rest of teh stage only took 8 minutes to complete. The Wii controls are often praised in this game but overall the controls are hard to grasp and very inaccurate. The graphics are decent but nothing special here. the frustration leval of teh game combined with wonky controls are really turning me off to it. There are a large number of 4 player party minigames as well here but so far only a handful have been worth playing, and some of teh minigames are actually really good. So far 4/10 or 2/5 stars
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games-DS
Well it is olympic season so i figured why not. I wasn't expecting much from this game but let me tell you i am pleasently surprised. Most all of the olympic events are playable here but instead of star athletes you get to play as mario's crew and sonic's crew. Overall there are 16 charecters. I have played the game for about 5 hours since last night and I could say I am pretty addictied to it. Alot of teh games are an absolute blast to play such as 400m runs and even fencing. What I really like about this game is that there is a crazy amount of depth to the game in the form of unlockable trophies, medals, emblems, and crowns. I am really enjoying this game. 8.5/10 or 4/5 stars
Elite Beat Agents-DS
This game is a mixed bag. First off it is a music rhythem game in the style of guitar hero but played with the ds touch screen. The game only has 19 songs which is pretty lame, but teh fun gameplay saves this game a bit. Well it is fun until you get to the last song and then it stops being fun. I breezed through the game in 1 and a half hours, and then I got to teh last song in the game which took 3 hours in itself to beat. So lets see 3 minute song goes into 180 minutes equals 60 failed attempts before i was able to get it. This mind you was on the easiest difficulty, and I just started hard which is a little more difficult but nothing drastic yet. Fun game drastically taken down by 1 stupid ending song. 7.0/10 or 3.5/5 stars
So now to what I have been playing.....
First off I have been playing a good amount of ncaa football 2007 for the 360 to pick up some acheivments. I have always loved EA's college football games and this is no exception. The game has a great dynasty mode, and I just finished my first season using Utah with a 10-3 record and I beat Florida State in the Poinsetta Bowl 70-20!! Right now i give it 8.5/10 or 4/5 stars.
I have been continuing to play rock band mainly the vocal solo tour. I have 5 songs left to complete on medium then it is off to hard. I am stuck on the drum tour on hard with detroit rock city, and I am stuck on guitar on hard with flirtin with disaster. Me and my sis are also only a few hours away from completing the band world tour. The world tour gets very repatative and im sick of playing the same 2-3 songs over again. Right now I give rock band 9.5/10 or 5/5 stars.
I also started getting into dynasty warriors 5 a little more and i have conquered 25% of the map playing on easy. I unlocked a few acheivments, and the game is kinda fun but also repatative at the same time because when fighting you will just press the same two buttons over and over again. Score 7.5/10 or 3.5/5 stars
For the last 360 game ive been playing nba live 06 just to get the last couple acheivments i need for 1000 pts. The game is not very good and is very weak on content, but hey i got it for 3.99$ new at best buy so no complaints. Score 5.5/10 or 2.5/5 stars
For the playstation 3 I have been only playing a little bit of fifa 08 playing the manager mode. As most of you know I love soccer and especially fifa games. Score 10/10 or 5/5 stars
On to the wii the only game i have been playing is smash bros brawl, mainly because its my sisters game and I cant take it to college with me. I am enjoying it but i am not a hardcore fan like a lot of people. Score 8.0/10 or 4/5 stars.
Jeanne D'arc on the psp has been taking up most of my time and the game is addictive yet i am turned off a little bit because so of teh battles are just too difficult. At the point where I am at about 8 hours in every battle must be fought 3-5 times until I get the victory. I dont like in my games having to replay levels many times. The epic size of the battles save this game somewhat. Score 8.0/10 or 4/5 stars.
Well yesterday I was fortunate enough to go see Nine Inch Nails in concert with special guest deerhunter for free. Not only were the tickets free but we were 10 rows from the stage dead center on the floor seating. The band deerhunter opened for a half hour and they were absolutly horrible. Nine Inch Nails played from 8:45 pm to 11:00pm and came out extremly hard all night. I wasnt even expecting them to play that hard at all. It was probally the 2nd best show I have seen this summer. Nine Inch Nails had incredible visual aids, but they still werent as good as the visual artists TOOL.
Heres How I rank the shows Ive seen this summer
Rush-Absoulutly Incredible my third favorite band behind TOOL and A Perfect Circle...Rush played almost a 4 hour set.
NIN with deerhunter
Poison, Sebastian Bach, and Dokken
Stone Temple Pilotes
Going To See 2 more shows for free later this month:
Next week we have Judas Priest, Heavan and Hell aka Black Sabbath without Ozzy, and Testament all playign together
In two weeks we have Motley Crue and Buckcherry
