Hi everybody :)

Sorry for the lack of activity I'm so busy these days with Collage and that Animating school....but I'll try to be more active :)

Okay I've finished Garshasp, 2 weeks ago didn't have time to write my impression...first of all i heard some roomers about this game which made me go easy on it, there is an organization here which they control video games by government...and i heard they didn't allow the Garshasp publishers release their games and they've censorship and changed its story, even its name, yes the name was soshianat....anyway with all these problems and limitations they could do better, lets talk about it:

Story

"Years after the confinement of Azhi Dahaka by Fereydun, the evil Deevs who were the commanders in the army of darkness led by Azhi Dahaka rose again in different parts of the ancient lands of Khunirath and rebelled against the humans who were celebrating the victory of the army of light. Each Deev formed a colony of its own and continued on bringing suffering to the human race. Hitasp, the Golden Crown, who possessed numerous deadly magical skills, was among these Deevs and was seeking to build up its empire in the rocky lands of Faranbagh. Siavoshgard, the legendary village that had been the home of many Pahlavans was raided by Hitasp and his followers and in the battle, Garshasp's brother, Oroxia, was killed while defending his ancestral home. Garshasp starts out pursuing revenge for his brother's blood by a journey towards the Hitasp's stronghold only to find out that something much more important has been taken in the raid of Siavoshgard and Garshasp's bravery is to play a big role in the destiny of the world..."

The game has 3 sequels which it's the first one, the story is like PoP and God of War, but they've used Shahnameh's stories for this game too which is deep and strong but the presentation and the Dialogs are few, and that makes it weak, they should have been added more Dialogs on it, i was expecting some codex like Dragon Age, these things don't need technical works, these things need a creative and knowledgeable Director, writer, a true gamer! the game has some cool cut scenes too but again they have weak directing for example there was a cut scenes which showed that monster (the blow pic) killed Garshasp's brother, but he didn't say anything!! he just looked more angry! and he even didn't touch his brother's body! overall the story is good but it could be much better.

Graphic

The graphic is pretty good among of the Persian games, i don't want to talk about technical things like textures, the game engine, because it's something more than their power and my knowledge too, but the art is something which they could work more on it, for example the Design, they didn't pay attention to the Persian architectural at all, none of the buildings i mean the castles are like Persian castles maybe that organization didn't allow them, but at least they could create better model for the main character, or the maps are pretty simple no creativity on them! if the game had better art and design it could be much better.

Gameplay

The most important part of the game is the game play, they've imitated the game play from God of War, Prince of Persia, Darksider...which is cool, the game has good QTE but each enemy only have one finishing animation! which makes it repetitive, the difficulty is easy, and the game is short 5 hours on hard difficulty, i was expecting better upgrading system, i mean if there was a store or something to buy new guns and armor it would be much better, in the end of the game you only find a new sword! the game has a good variety of enemies and each of them have their own finishing animations, the A.I. system is simple, some times the button don't work, and bad thing is when you press the attack button you first need to wait he finish his move, during his move other button don't work..overall the game play is good.

Audio

The music wasn't exciting for me and it didn't remind me anything and the sound effects were simple, and the main character didn't talk during the game at all only at the end of the game he talked which was cool but if he talked during the game like Gears of War it would be so much better imo.

Overall i think it would be better if they've made a RPG game instead of a fast action game but it was a good start

My Score

Among of the Persian Games i give it 7.5

Among of the Standard games i give it 4.0

Here the pics of its game play :)

It can be a good game for ipod or PSP but for PC, 360, PS3 it has a long journey.

Update
