Sexy_Noob reviewed Condemned 2: Bloodshot for the Xbox 360...

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:20:49 -0800

...and gave it a 3.0.

Whatever you hear, read or see about this game it can't compare to actually playing it for yourself. I do like the effort placed into the campaign in regards to the graphics and story, although the conclusion for me just wasn't all that satisfying! The amount of glitches that occurred for me were herendous and the gameplay was absurdly hard, even when playing on easy.

Your shortly introduced to the ridiculously challenging combat system only moments after beginning the game. The dodgy controls do not make it any easier either, oh did I mention your incapable of jumping or crouching despite the occasional shoot out scenes. On the other hand the weapon range isn't ovally terrible, weapons will frequently 'break', the guns are very limited and rare, also ammo is very scarce given you aren't able to reserve clips (there is no reload system).

The game continues out like this but still manages to worsen, the graphics may be good but the mapping and layout of the game is terrible, often finding simple locations or paths that you must follow can prove to be a major challenge which at times begins to get extremelly frustrating.

That essentially sums up the campaign, the multi player is much worse. There are 5 different game types, all very dull and not so creative. The maps that they are played on really limit the amount of fun to be had and as previously mentioned the engine simply destroys it.

For a partial achievement hunter such as myself this game isn't even worth the trouble given about half the achievements must be accomplished online, even when the game was new it wasn't very popular (for the above reasons).

I give this game a 3.0, the only good aspects being the outstanding graphics, the darkness of the game ruins it at times though. The storyline was rather interesting, at times rather twisted and scary and the weapon range was interesting.

Sexy_Noob reviewed Sniper: Ghost Warrior for the Xbox 360...

Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:10:48 -0800

...and gave it a 6.0.

Too start off, im glad i didnt purchase this game, i simply borrowed it. Even that alone wasnt entirely worth it.

But to the point, you follow a specific sniper and assaultsman in 2 different squad forces as you travel in an around the lands which are mainly composed of jungle, shooting and taking out enemies, accomplishing set assignments and then escaping to freedom before acquiring another mission, your general shooter.

The gameplay for this game is reasonable, sniping is quite enjoyable, at times it does feel a bit botched and can get quite frustrating, the pistol is always there for backup though and never fails the job.
When doing assault missions on the other hands, it can your frustration levels enormously high, the game has an aim-assist features which too me was entirely useless, especially on harder difficulties. Imagine going to aim down the scope but by the time its aimed down the scope towards the enemy, your already dead, i found this repetitively occuring.

Graphics are defianetly above average, the creators (city) have put a good amount of time in to achieve this, although you will find the occasional mapping error and glitch but nothing too serious.

The games achievements are reasonable aside from about a quarter of them which are ridiculously hard to get multiplayer ones, if you can even find a match that is. Also for it being a sniper game, it certainly lacks much variety in snipers with there only being 4 different models availible.

All in all, I give this game a 6, not worth purchasing unless you can get it for a bargain, thoroughly enjoy sniping and have patience n' tolerance to the flaws of it.

Sexy_Noob reviewed Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back for the PlayStation...

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:00:32 -0800

...and gave it a 9.0!

This game was actually quite fun and actually very annoying. Like any other Crash Bandicoot game its a platformer where you must collect all the crystals and gems then battle the bosses like Dr. Neo Cortex, n. Gin, Tiny Tiger.. etc. Also its the same in that you are warped to other rooms to collect them.

You start off in a room that has 5 warp ways to go through. As you go through certain warp's you end up in different scenarios for example generally the first level you play (Turtle Woods) is a muddy bush sort of level then the second level (Snow Go) your in the snow and must travel all around. Its quite good in this regard as there is about 10 different sorts of levels like the two i mentioned plus ones where you must run away from boulders, ones where your basically in the future, ones where you must ride polar, even ones going up creek on stones (unfortunately Crash can't swim). Also the variety of monsters is very good as there is about 20-25 different types of monsters.

This is a very good game but is too easy to complete as I beet it last night in about 3 hours. The only real down sides to the game are that there are a few levels that are quite frustrating. Also I found Tiny Tiger to be extremely hard to beet.

9 out of 10 stars

Sexy_Noob reviewed Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for the Xbox...

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 02:47:39 -0800

...and gave it a 9.5!

This game is an awesome strategy/simulation game. It might not look all its cracked up to be but I can assure you that within 2 minutes of its game play you'll want more and will struggle to be able to put down the controller.

You've been given several thousands of dollars to create your own dinosaur park from scratch. You must invest your money into purchasing fossils to study dinosaurs so that they can be made in hatcheries then placed in exhibition so that people may view your dinosaurs. You can also extract DNA from amber which comes in many different types of qualities. Also you can send teams around the world to search for fossils and DNA.

Eventually your fame grows and you obtain stars (you must get 5 to complete the game). You can begin to research new equipment and buildings for you park so that visitors have shelter, protection, toilets, food, souvenirs, places to view the dinosaurs better and even more.

This game is played at the perfect speed. Easy to keep up with and not too hard. It takes a little bit to actually understand the game. The only down side is that once completed the game loses its fun unless you let the dinosaurs loose to kill the people :P

9.5 stars out of 10

Sexy_Noob reviewed Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64...

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 17:50:11 -0800

...and gave it a 9.0!

Like my title says, a classic racing game in itself. In my opinion Crash Team Racing (PS1) is better as it has a story line to it and you can unlocked new characters and tracks as you progress throughout the game, Mario Kart lacks these features. Also the classic annoying 64 control doesn't help to much. Especially when it comes to keeping control of your character. It still offers you a variety of options to play including racing against the CPU, beeting the times in time trial and even having battles against fellow players.

Still, even with these down sides its a good way to have fun and can provide hours of entertainment. There is a total of 16 fun tracks to try and numerous attacks to can use while racing to take down your foes. Each track contains its own obstacles you must avoid and tricky jumps you must overcome. There is 8 characters you can choose from, all classic 64 characters.

In instant racing classic, for any age
9 out of 10 stars

Sexy_Noob reviewed Elven Chronicles for the Mobile...

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:40:46 -0800

...and gave it a 8.0.

Similar to most RPG's in the fact that you walk around, kill monsters, obtain money and objects, sell the objects, buy better weapons, kill another monsters, get a better armor. But in my opinion its a lot slower for Elven Chronicles.

You start off in a town with people NPC's (Non-Player Characters) who you can buy a variety of things off. Such as armor to better your defence and swords to increase your strength, even potions to improve your health and mana. You are given missions to go out and kill monsters then return back and report on your status and how you went. Eventually it gets to a point where you walk for about 10 minutes straight just to kill 3 monsters then walk back. The last monster you face is a giant dragon which is very hard to kill.

Id recommend this game to older people (with patience), as its very confusing and hard to understand.

Sexy_Noob reviewed Assassin's Creed for the Mobile...

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:32:31 -0800

...and gave it a 9.0!

Very much similar to the actual game aside from the fact with this there is only about 10 buttons being used the the fact you cant run around for about an hour straight, never the less a well set up map with detailed characters and bosses. Also lots of obstacles you must overcome to pass the levels.

You start off with an introduction to the game and how to attack. But through out the whole game you will continue to learn new skills and advance in gaining new weapons to hunt and kill your foe with. There is chapters in every level and 3 levels in total similar to the actual game.

Whether it be swinging on a rope to jump a lot of spikes or climbing up a ladder to get away from enemies its pure fun. Id recommend it to mainly older people but younger people could still enjoy it as well.

Sexy_Noob reviewed Bomberman Special for the Mobile...

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:26:57 -0800

...and gave it a 8.5.

Very much like the old game but not as much room for running around. Its a very quick game. You start off slow with multiple enemies and many rocks blocking you. As you progress throughout the levels you obtain new attacks which can enable you to do further and longer attacks and to be able to make you walk through walls and have more than one bomb at a time. There is also a large variety of monsters as each level a new monster comes into it.

The first few levels can be annoying until you unlock the new attacks then it gets quite addictive. Within no time you'll find yourself at a high level thinking 'Oh my god that monsters going to get me' as is gets quite hard and your attacks do very little in the way of helping.

A good game, suitable for any one (especially 64 fans).

Sexy_Noob reviewed Heroes Lore: Wind of Soltia for the Mobile...

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:35:42 -0800

...and gave it a 10.0!!!

This game is so addictive its not funny. Its an excellent RPG which lots of action to it. Defiantly the best mobile game you could purcahse.

You begin off with a character called Ronin who wields the sword. You are soon after introduced to a friend called Reah who wields spears. She is your life long friend. All of a sudden she is called into warfare. Ronin ensures her that he will become a guardian so he can help to protect Reah.

Many years later Ronin is sent out into the desert as part of his training to obtain 5 wolf fangs but comes across Reah's body, so he takes it back into town and leaves her at his house. Later he leaves to see another of his companions he returns only to find Reah has left. Where could she be? What could she be doing?

This game is an excellent RPG. There is very little glitches if at all any. There is a large variety of weaponry and armor to purchase to help protect you in your adventures. There is even a large variety of monsters to kill from Dust to Undying Soldiers to Boss's. As you kill the monsters you gain experience points then when a certain amount is acquired you level up and can pick which stats you'd like to raise.

Id recommend this game to any one, but it may be a little confusing for younger people playing it. It grows in you the more you play it.

Sexy_Noob reviewed Crash Team Racing for the PlayStation...

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:07:49 -0800

...and gave it a 10.0!!!

This is defiantly one of the best racing games of all time to me alongside Mariokart and Gran Turismo. Its very addictive and can prove hours upon hours of fun. Also any body of any age can play it and enjoy it without being bored.

The game has many options such as Adventure mode, Time Trial, Multiplayer and Battle.

Adventure is your standard one where you'll compete in all the races in which you must finish first to obtain the cup. There is also 2 other things you can try for in each track, theyre to get the relics and CTR tokens which lead up to you being able to unlock new tracks.

Time Trial is where you can race the clock and try to beet the times set by other characters, eventually if your good enough you get such good times you can verse the computer.

In multiplayer you can verse either 2 to 4 other players and in Arcade mode verse the computers aswell.

Battle, you can play with up to 4 other people. In this you get attacks and kill the other players and get points. You can change the settings to what attacks you get and how many points to need to acquire to win.

In total there is 16 tracks and about 3 other unlockable ones to play. Theres 8 characters and about 5 or 6 others you can unlock and 1 you got to put a cheat in to get.

Id reccomend this game to anyone just looking for fun
10/10 :)

Sexy_Noob reviewed Halo: Combat Evolved for the Xbox...

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 02:34:23 -0800

...and gave it a 10.0!!!

Halo: Combat Evolved promoted XBOX for a reason. Its by far the best game i've ever played. Its amazingly addictive and can be played for hours upon hours without even losing the slightest little bit of fun to it. Its the perfect difficulty and can even have its difficulty level chosen. There are 4 levels of difficulty to play, they include Easy, Normal, Heroic and of course the hard one Legendary.

There's 9 levels in which you can play. Ranging from 'The Pillar Of Autumn' to 'The Maw'. There's levels with lots of close up action and many where you'll get some outrageous chances to sniper.

The weapon variety for this game is outstanding. Everything from Pistols to Snipers to Rocket Launchers to even being able to use the Covenants (aliens) weapons. And if this isn't enough the vehicles you use (often based upon animals or mythical creatures names) can shoot as well. There's Warthogs which resemble cars but have a machine gun. A Scorpion which resembles a tank, can be very useful. To Banshee's which can shoot and fly. Plus multiple others.

Enemies in this game are well thought out. There's the cute little Grunts which are useless without there master's the Elites. There's Jackals which have this really annoying shield which can deflect your bullets. And of course the really hard Hunter which can be hard unless stricken in the back.

The graphics for its time are great. Plus many other features including up to 4 players. Two player co-operative play and numerous easter eggs. Also you may find the music a little catchy after a while.

Forever in love with this game :)
10/10

Sexy_Noob reviewed Sudeki for the Xbox...

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 23:34:08 -0700

...and gave it a 9.5!

In sudeki you start out in a small town with a characters called Tal. Here you'll get your first little taste of how addictive the game can be. You'll first go to the training grounds and get a chance to test out your combat skills. Your damage at this stage will be only a small margin of what can be achieved later on in the game.

Through out the whole game all the characters you can play will level up. You'll have 4 statistics that you can upgrade. HP which will affects the total amount of hit points the character which is leveling up will have. SP which will affects the the total soul points which is for using spells. Power which affects how much damage a character will issue out with each attack and Essence which affects how much damage you do using spells. Also you'll have the choice of being able to pick out new spells for each character upon level up.

Leveling up in the game is rather simple but depending on your level could take quite a large sum of time. The easiest way to level up is by killing monsters but you can also level up by finding certain items or completing quests.

There is four main playable characters in the game but towards the end you'll be given four characters which you can use for quite some time. Tal who is the main character. He wields a sword and is used for hand to hand combat. Elco who is a scientist. He uses guns and shoots enemies from a distance. Ailish the princess. He uses a wand and attacks from a distance and the last main character is Buki a very well known female warrior. She uses her metal claws which are attached to her hands in hand to hand combat.

The storyline for this game is very easy to understand and at the same time being very interesting. At the end of the game when you look back to everything that's occurred it seems like you've only been playing for a small amount of time.

This game to me is definitely one of my favorites ever made. Its and unbelievable addictive RPG adventure throughout the whole game ;)

Sexy_Noob reviewed MediEvil for the PlayStation...

Sat, 24 May 2008 00:03:26 -0700

...and gave it a 10.0!!!

This by far has got to be one of the most fun adventure games ever made with hours of fun. Unfortunately my fun only lasted about 10 hours as thats all it took me to complete the game.

You start off at a simple level 'Dans Crypt' where you first discover money, throwing knives and the value of runes which are used through out the whole game. Its not until the second level 'Cementary Hill' that you witness battle. Several moments after walking into the level you'll walk out the gates and come across several zombies.

On this level you'll witness nearly everything aside from a few monsters and the very valuable chalice which you collect in every level. The only reason you wont get the chalice in this level is because you are yet to receive the club or the war hammer and cant break open the rocks/boulders to the side.

The game continues on like this but the further you go the more riddles your come across and the more puzzling it will become. Some levels may take ages whilst others only several minutes. You'll go up against many bosses.

After a while of playing you'll come up to a pirate ship level 'Ghost Ship' this is one of the hardest and most frustrating levels in any game ive ever witnessed. Upon completing this level you come even closer to the end level. The end level i must admit is quite a bit of a let down. The first part of it is the only real hard level of the game where you must heal your fellow soldiers. Next you must kill a Horseman which is quite easy and then you finish off killing Zarok in the form of a dragon which is even easier.

All in all i give the game a very high 10 and tell you all that its a must have game! My all time favourite.

Sexy_Noob reviewed Tomba! for the PlayStation...

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 22:43:19 -0700

...and gave it a 9.5!

This is a very fun and addictive adventure game and like Gamespot says with a twist. At first it might not seem too fun but the further you get the more addictive it becomes. I haven only played the trial version of the game but still thuroughly enjoyed it.

The only downsides to the game are that its not very big. The map itself has only about 5 or 6 main places and it doesnt take very long to get from one place to another and the pigs are quite easy to kill. Plus there is only a small numbers of weapons on the game.

If you like this game chances are youll like Crash Bandicoot series, Medievil 1 and 2 and Spyro. To all whom havent tried this game i suggest you give it a shot ;)

Take note that older people who play this game may not approve of it as much as younger people as its pretty easy and cartoonish.
