Wild Arms 4 (PS2)

Wild Arms 4 for PS2 - Wild Arms 4 Playstation 2 - Wild Arms 4 PS2 Game

A lot shorter, easier, and not as great as a story as Wild Arms 3 but it was okay I guess.

 

Things I liked about this game:

The story line was pretty good.

You can power up your characters the way you want to.

The load times are great.

There are a bunch of Badges that you can get (every other role playing game calls them accessories though).

The combined Character moves are pretty cool.

There are a bunch of Special moves you can get all unique to each character.

 

Things I didn’t like:

The characters graphics could have used a lot of work.

It was very short. Compared to Wild Arms 3 this game is an embarrassment.

There is so much reading and hardly any Voice acting (this is the thing I hated most about this game).

I didn’t like the new combat system they set up.

The puzzles were pretty easy.

Only one of your characters actually gets an Arm.

 

Overall:

The game was okay but was expecting so much more with as Awesome as Wild Arms 3 was. I was very disappointed.

Haunting Ground (PS2)

Haunting Ground for PS2 - Haunting Ground Playstation 2 - Haunting Ground PS2 Game

If you liked Silent Hill type Graphics and Clock tower 3 type game play you’ll probably dig Haunting Ground.

 

Things I liked about this game:

The Cut scenes graphics and game played graphics were very eerie and fit the game perfectly.

The music was also eerie and fit the game well and when you’re being chased by an enemy the music can be flat out terrifying.

You get a dog to help you escape from the castle the game is based in (I thought it was pretty original).

I jumped a few times in fear (I love a game that can make you jump).

The load times were great. The only times I could tell it was loading was when you start the game or when you die and restart.

The puzzles were not that hard (I’m not a puzzle lover).

The game has multiple endings

There are a bunch of cool unlockables.

 

Things I didn’t like:

The story line could have used some work.

I hated the Achemy process.

For the most part this is a run from you enemies kind of game.

The dog is very stubborn and doesn’t always listen to you.

I hated the fact that the map you get you can’t zoom in and it doesn’t list the rooms.

Most of the items you get are pretty worthless. I got through the whole game with using almost any usable items.

 

Overall:

I thought Haunting Ground was alright. If you liked Clock Tower 3 I can almost guarantee you like Haunting Ground.

Time Slitters: Future Perfect (XBOX)

Time Slitters: Future Perfect is the last straw I’m done with the Time Splitters series.

 

This review is based on the 1 player mode.

 

Things I liked about this game:

There are a bunch of unlockable players.

There is a bunch a weapons.

The weapons sound effects are pretty good.

There are a lot of mini games.

The load times are not that bad.

You get to travel to The Future and past and fight a bunch of different enemies and get a bunch of different weapons.

 

Things I didn’t like:

The story could have used a lot of work.

The enemy A.I. is really bad making the game very easy.

The music is pretty boring.

The comedy they try to put in the game is annoying.

 

Overall:

I personally didn’t like is game but I’m sure some people might like it. If you want to check it out I would suggest getting used.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (XBOX)

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones for Xbox - Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones Xbox Game - Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones Xbox Video Game

I liked Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones don’t get me wrong but it was a lot easier then the other 2 games!

 

Things I liked about this game:

The Game play graphics and Cut scenes graphics are Awesome. They did a beautiful job with the backgrounds.  

The combat is a lot harder then the other two games.

The story line was awesome.

I this game you can play as your evil Alter Ego that has a new different weapon and different moves.

You can ride in a chariots in this game.

The bosses in this game look great and are very challenging.

The load times aren’t too shabby.

The unlockables are awesome!

Things I didn’t like:

The combat every once in a while seemed off. Sometimes when you doing the finishing move on you enemy there body would cut in half before you even touched them.

I personally thought this one was the easiest of the three Prince of Persia games (the puzzles are a lot easer).

I also thought that this was the shortest of the three games.

The combat was better then part 1 but wasn’t as good as part 2.

 

Overall:

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones was an awesome game and if you liked the other 2 games you’ll defiantly like this one. Just don’t expect to take as long beating it.

 

007: From Russia With Love

From Russia With Love for Xbox - From Russia With Love Xbox Game - From Russia With Love Xbox Video Game

From Russia With Love like all the other James Bond games was very entertaining!

This Review is based on the Story Mode.

Things I liked about this game:

The game play Graphics and Cut scenes Graphics are great.

There are a bunch of weapons and gadgets that you will only find in the James Bond movies or games. All of them can be upgraded to the way you want them.

The story line is great and straight from the movie.

The Load times are quick.

There are decent amount of Vehicles you can use one being the rocket pack.

There are either 4 or 5 side missions you can unlock

I didn’t play the Multiplayer mode but it looks pretty cool.

Music and is Very Bond. The sound effects sound great and the voice acting is great. They even got Sean Connery to do Bond’s Voice.

 

Things I didn’t like about this game:

 

Some of the unlockables are not that impressive.

It’s pretty easy. I beat it on 007 mode (hard) with no problem.

There are not that many levels but the levels are pretty large.

 

Overall:

This game was great. In fact I would have to say it is one of the best bond games I have ever played.

I think that anyone that likes action games will dig this one.

 

 

Spartan: Total Warrior (PS2)

Spartan: Total Warrior reminds me God of War and Dynasty Warriors put together. It’s a pretty decent button masher.

 

Things I liked about this game:

The graphics are pretty good and the backgrounds are beautifully done.

There are (I think) 5 different weapons. Each one gives you different special abilities.

The story line is pretty cool.

The bosses are pretty Awesome!

There is a pretty decent amount of levels.

 

Thing I didn’t like about this game:

The load times are pretty bad.

You can set the camera close to your character and sometimes there so much going on on the screen it’s hard to tell here you are.

It’s a button masher (“Man my fingers still hurt”).

I don’t know if it’s just my copy on not but I got a pretty bad glitch with one of the bosses became invisible (took me forever to beat it cause of that).

 

Overall:

I did enjoy this game. If you liked God of War, Dynasty Warriors or Just strait up action games I think you will like this one.  

Ulitimate Spider-Man (XBOX)

Ultimate Spider-Man for Xbox - Ultimate Spider-Man Xbox Game - Ultimate Spider-Man Xbox Video Game

Ultimate spider man has the same game play feel as Spider Man 2 (the movie game)!

 

Things I liked about this game:

It’s pretty fun swinging around the city.

The graphics are very straight from the comic.

You can play as Venom.

The story line was okay.

 

Things I didn’t like about this game:

There are not that many bosses.

The city is pretty small.

I beat it in 2 days. It is way too short.

The camera is pretty bad.

You don’t get that many moves.

The side missions are not that fun and there’s not a good verity of them.

The load times are pretty long.

 

Overall:

As frustrating as the camera was I did have fun with this game as short as it was but….

I’m going to have to say this is in my opinion is the worst Marvel title game I have played.   

Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for PS2 - Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Playstation 2 - Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King PS2 Game

The only way I can describe this game is “The Best RPG of 2005”!

 

Things I liked about this game:

 

There all kinds of weapons, armor, shields, accessories, and items. A lot of the things you can create yourself.

There is a bunch of special skills.

The game is long I beat in about 80 hours and I didn’t even do all the stuff.

There is a bunch of side quests.

The game has a huge world to explore.

It has a great storyline that you can really get into.

The graphics for the game play and the cut scenes are phenomenal.

Great challenging game play the bosses in this game are no joke in fact the random enemies are no joke either.

 

Things I didn’t like about this game:

 

Sometimes when you try to get to the Menu screen it takes some time to load to get to the Menu.

I didn’t like that there was no option to set the text speed on fast.

 

Overall:

This game was great and it’s a good game for all ages any one can get into this game.

Once again I personally feel that this is the best Role Playing Game of 2005.

Romancing SaGa (PS2)

Romancing SaGa for PS2 - Romancing SaGa Playstation 2 - Romancing SaGa PS2 Game

Romancing SaGa is a really great game till you finish the first play through!

Things I liked about this game:

Great price! You can get it new for $19.99.

There are all kinds of special ability’s.

There are a bunch of classes that you can choose from all with there own Special ability’s.

There are a lot of weapons and armor to choose from.

The background artwork is pretty good but the character art work is very original and awesome (the characters almost look like those evil porcelain dolls).

There are a bunch of side quests.

There’s 8 main Characters to pick from to start the story and there are a bunch of other characters that you can get to join up with you.

If you decide you want to try to beat it with all 8 of the character’s you can get about 320 hours of game play out of this game.

Things I didn’t like about this game.

After the First play through the game is very repetitive you have to do almost the same exact things you did in the first play through. The story changes very little even though you’re playing with a different character.

The game would be a lot better if you could move the camera around but you can’t.

There’s is not the many magic spells.

There is a lot missing from the stories. I lot of holes if you will.

Overall:

The game was okay. But for the price you can get it for it’s a pretty good game.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PSP)

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for PSP - Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Sony PSP - Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories PSP Game

One word "Awesome!" How can you go wrong with doing Mafia missions while you’re at work or school?

 

Things I liked about this game:

There a bunch of appearances from the characters from the other Grand Theft Auto games.

Once again another great sound track (Not as great as the rest of them but still good).

The multiplayer modes are great and fun.

The load times are not that bad.

All the vehicles you could get in GTA 3 and Vice City are in this game.

There are 3 pretty big maps you can play on.

For a hand held system the graphics are great.

There is a pretty good selection of Weapons.

The game has voice acting.

The missions are just as fun as the other games and different.

 

The things I didn’t like:

The story wasn’t as good as the other GTA games.

Its defiantly shorter then the other Grand Theft Auto’s.

Overall:

If you like the other Grand Theft Autos your going to like this one too. This game has some very strong language defiantly not for kids.
