This is what happens when we try to compare two different games in two different genres with the same score.
My first impression after reading the Fable 2 review was "WOW, too short, should have been better!"
After reading about Farcry 2, I was "WOW, long game, should be fun"
Yet both have the same score and both take about 30 hours to complete (single player only and if you do all the side quests in Fable).
So long story short, I am not sure why I am disappointed in Fable yet a still excited about Farcry. Plus I tend to enjoy RPGs more than shooters.
I really enjoyed the game. The mini-games were repetative, the picture taking was blah. All in all though, it felt really good to upgrade your weapons and plasmids and finally feel like a badass and beat up some big daddies. Those suckers tore me up at the beginning of the game. I got my REVENGE later! Well worth finishing the game.
As for replayability, I've never been one to replay any game I own more than once so I am fine with one play-through.
Hmm, I guess I am lucky not to feel jipped at buying a game so far for 60 bucks but there are a few that I regret buying.
I bought Assassin's Creed last year during a Christmas Special one store had going. It only cost me 37 dollars but after playing a bit, it is already getting too repetitive.
Another game I bought because of a buy two, get one free sale was Ace Combat 6. I actually like the game but in the ten months I've owned it, I played maybe 2 whole hours for whatever reason.
Had either of these two games been full price, I probably would have never bought either.
As a newcomer to these types of rhythm games, I'd like to add my observation. I ended up buying GH3 for Christmas and had a blast with it. I then bought GH2 later on to have two guitars and be able to play co-op with the family. I don't regret the purchase but after playing GH3 first, I just can't get into GH2. Going with just the main tracks provided, I only found maybe 5 or 6 songs I really got into. Just seemed to me that GH3 has a better track list. The graffix and the way the notes appear on screen also take some time getting used to. Star power always seems to mess me up in GH2.I do agree with whats been said about the learning curve being not right in GH3, but the game is still fun. Again I am not a professional musician by any means.As for Rockband, after reading a lot of the comments, I am considering buying this game in the near future.
In order of purchase:
Halo 3
Oblivion
Bioshock
FIFA 08
Ace Combat 6
Carcassone (free download)
Hexic HD (free download)
Mass Effect
Halo (download off marketplace)
Guitar Hero 3
Assassins Creed
Call of Duty 4 (haven't even opened it yet!)
Your router should tell you what IP address it is handing out to all connected devices at that moment. Make sure the IP address you are assigning the xbox is the same as what the router is expecting.
