“My rating for this game would be a 3/5.
It has an ok storyline, which doesn't really have to do with the movie at all. It has tons of action for all of the action fans. It had pretty much all the weapons that were in the movie. And the graphics were exceptionally well for it's time(2002).
To get different weapons you have to attain enough points during the missions to unlock them, I think this concept is ok but they could have done it a little different. To get points you just have to kill enemies, find glyphs, and do secondary objectives. During the missions you just have to do what Whistler tells you to and kill all those vampire scum-bags. So you basically just get from point A to point B, while taking care of some minor nuisances that can get quite annoying if there is a lot of them, and it is all because of the controls.
After killing loads of enemies your rage meter will charge up, and after it is fully charged, you can press the R1 button to activate rage, which allows you to use your...”
“The soul burns on.
Soul Calibur 3 is the PS2-exclusive fourth installment in the Soul Calibur series. After the awesomeness that is Soul Calibur 2, how can Namco even think of topping it? Well, being honest, they didn't here. Sure, they added some more modes like an RTS sort of main game, they decided to make the arcade mode a bit more than just fight this guy and that guy, they added a create-a-character feature, they added some mini-game sort of things, and they put more effort into the storyline... So why doesn't this top Soul Calibur 2? Because Soul Calibur 2 is much more fun to play, that's why! Soul Calibur 3 is fun from time to time, especially with friends, but not on the level of its predecessor, and some AI blemishes and somewhat rough difficulty climbs really, really don't really help this.
A tale of the soul, burning on and on.
Okay, so now the Azure Knight, Nightmare, has been exorcised from Seigfried's body, and he longs for the body again since his spirit has been driven out of Soul...”
“Final Fantasy XII takes place in a world called Ivalice, where the kingdom of Dalmasca is being attacked by the Archadians. The princess of Dalmasca, Ashe, along with Vaan and Penelo, orphans, Balthier and Fran, sky pirates and Basch, a captain who was framed by his brother, try and stop Vayne, the villian in this game.
The storyline is exceptionally good, leading to some really exciting yet dramatic scenes throughout the game itself.
The graphics are really detailed and stunning, both in the cutscenes and the game itself, which is a slight improvement over previous Final Fantasies.
The combat system has also changed, instead of random encounters, you may now actually see and engage in battle with a foe at free will, which makes it much more convenient for people who don't want to waste time fighting certain enemies. When the going gets tough, you may press and hold R2 to flee from your foes.
Like most RPG's, your characters becomes stronger by defeating enough foes and earning experience...”
“Tony Hawk’s Underground for the Playstation 2. This game was a revolution for all of the Tony Hawk’s series, for the inclusion of new features and controls, and other things you couldn’t do in the previous games in the series.
It used the same physics engine as in the game’s Playstation 2 predecessor, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4. Although updated, it’s still the same as the predecessor.
The game’s controls are just the same as any other Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, with the fascia buttons (Triangle, X, O and Square) controlling the tricks.
Square, accompanied with a D-Pad direction, will do a flip trick, e.g. Kickflip, Pop Shove it etc.
O, accompanied with a D-Pad direction, does a grab trick, e.g. Indy, Nose grab etc.
Triangle is the grind function.
X makes you Ollie (jump).
When in a manual, two combinations of the fascia buttons will trigger a different “flatland” trick, such as To Rail, Truckstand, Casper etc. It also does the same thing whilst in grinds and lip tricks (tricks...”
“Gran Turismo 4 for the Playstation 2. What can I say about this game?
It's pretty much the greatest racer of all time on the Playstation 2. If you bought a 32 bit Playstation 1, you'll probably have owned Gran Turismo 1.
The first one was the best racer on the Playstation.
Gran Turismo 4 is basically Gran Turismo 1, with better graphics and updated car lists, things like that.
If you're a serious driving game fan, you're better off with Forza Motorsport 2/3 or Gran Turismo 5 for the Playstation 3.
But if you own a Playstation 2, you'll be very happy with this.
The controls in this game are good. You steer with the analog stick.
But there's a great little thing about the game's options - you can customize the controls to whatever style you like. Any button to accelerate, any button to change gear, whatever you want! That is one great thing about the game.
The music in the game ranges from rock to hip hop to techno. You have The Distillers and Feeder for the best driving experience.
The cars...”
“Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 for the Playstation 2 really isn't one of Activision's most popular games. Dave Mirra's Pro BMX is more for a BMX rider, but this is really the alternative.
The parks on this game are excellent, they are full of great obstacles like rails, quarter pipes and stairs etc. The last level is a bit of a fantasy world, but is still fun, that being said.
The controls are very good, even though they are button-mashers, they have an essence of Activision's more popular Tony Hawk's series. They really are excellent.
X - Jump/Bunnyhop
Square - Whip trick/Flip trick, accompanied with buttons/manual tricks
O - Grab Tricks, accompanied with buttons/manual tricks
Triangle - Grind/Stall Tricks
And the directional buttons, obviously, move your rider.
You can select from a number of different pros in the game, like Mat Hoffman, Kevin Robinson and Simon Tabron, etc.
The riders have a few different unlockable costumes and bikes to choose from, though it doesn't make much difference...”
“Soul Calibur is known as one of the best fighting game series of the last couple of generations. Allowing characters to take up the various swords and axes to add a bit of bite and power to the fighting engine, Soul Calibur managed to rake in the audience it needed to flourish and grow into the powerful franchise it could have been... yes, could have been. Soul Calibur 1 and 2, as well as Soul Edge and Soul Blade, started the series on a legendarily high note, offering a slightly better storyline than the average fighting game and allowing for sword to sword combat, as well as 8-way movement (trust me, this was new back in 1995), memorable characters and an easy learning curve. Jump to 2005, and Soul Calibur 3 has just been released. Suffice to say, it doesn't live up to Soul Calibur 2's standards... it might have meant well, but due to some poor decisions and questionable programming, the game is far from enjoyable.
The main storyline is that Siegfried is free from Nightmare's control, and he wants to...”
“In the year of 2001, Harvest Moon fans who owned a Playstation 2 got their wish: a Harvest Moon game, Save the Homeland , was released for the PS2. This game not only marked a beginning for the series, it also marked an ending - the last game containing the classic formula that could be found in every Harvest Moon game until then. It is easy for a die-hard Harvest Moon fan to see what value this game holds, as it happened to be made before Natsume assumed the "keep churning them out" philosophy it has used for games since then. Though it is by no means the best entry in the series, it retains a charm all its own, and a place on any PS2 gamer's shelf.
The plot of this game is simple and only really makes a strong appearance twice in the whole game. You have been left a farm by your grandfather who has passed away recently. However, the farm and nearby town are both threatened by a business tycoon who wants to bulldoze everything to make way for an amusement park. Obviously, this is not what you want for...”
“OK, bear with me as it's been a while since I played and my mind would rather forget. quote have you played episode 1? No. Couldn't see it released in UK, otherwise I probably would have gone for that first. quote most of its fights are easy enough, until its final dungeon and you probably didn't use much strategy in normal battles if they were really hard When characters are getting one rounded there's not a whole lot of strategy to put in place. Perhaps my insistence on using Momo played...”
“not all of its voice is bad jin sounds a little different than how i remember hearing his voice in episode 2 (on woglinde and a few other times) is really nice kos-mos and shion sound okay and character position does have a vital role in episode 1, mostly for anyone who uses momo”
“Are you *bleep*ing high or something? Every fight consists of cheap bullshit and shitty AI. What Soul Calibur 3 were you playing while conducting this study? How is it possible to like Chronicles Of The Sword? It's nothing more than a half-hearted "RTS" that is boring to watch, boring to play, and offers nothing worth giving a shit about, except for harsh diffculty curves.”
“responding to what you said towards the beginning, it cant be an older version of the duo from ico because this is actually a prequel to ico, it happened before the events of ico even occured.”
