Well fnr4 is finally here and i will give u my detailed and helpful review.


New features: legacy mode is probably the most needed additon to fnr4. and for the most part it works but there r some issues. when u start u have the choice to start a legacy with and exsisting fighter or make a new fighter with photo game face or head and body templates. u will schedule fights on ur fight calendar and go up the ranks. the good thing is that its easy to use and is fun at the beginning. but as u progress fight become way 2 hard to win and become tedious 10 round 26 min fights. also if u go up the ranks 2 fast u will get screwed and have to deal with fighter 10 times better then u and the game doesnt do a good job of telling how to move up the ranks i recomend schedule fight every 3 months to get more training done.


Graphics: well no surprise fnr4 looks great from detailed ring entrances to sweat and body physics. by the way the physics engine adds a lot to this game. punchs look war better and nt sluggish like fnr3 and boxer can get tangled up and much more. muscles flex the way the should. another thing is the knock outs r way BETTER.

gameplay: this fight night makes u use a countering system. if u want to get gloriuos knock outs u need to counter. u can lean parry and dodge to get a more damageing counter hit and if u hit the guy clean u get an instant knock out.

ONLINE: is decent u can join matches and create session to ur liking like choosing the skill level u want 2 go against and what weight class u want its decent but not varyed. but then u have champion ship mode were u take ur custom boxer and fight for online belts its fun but getting belts r hard.

MAJOR PROS: well with the new phyiscs and a great rodster of fighters like fore man tyson ali fraizer gatti duran sugar ray and much more a new needed legacy mode and good online play u got a worthy boxing game worth the 60 bucks.

MAJOR CON: now this con can really grate on ur nerves. when u get online soem kids like to mash the analogs and its weird 1 kid i fought threw 2,000 punches in a round wasnt even tired it doesnt happen often but it fing sucks.

CONCLUSION. if u like a real sport unlike ufc and like bashing peoples faces in and always wanted to take fighter all the way to greatest of all time then go pick up fnr4.

Now i waited for gta 4 for about since 2007 and when it got delayed i was heart broken then i heard about a april realese and i got so excite but it was still 2007. then came april 28th 2009 and i got my copy. so theres my little story now i will review this game a little late. so gta 4 is it the gameing mile stone or the crash of the century. well its bigger then i thought it would be. first thing i will be reviewing about this game is the graphics witch are just great from the lighting effects through cars and buldings to basically how cars damage and nikos animations something about liberty city just feels alive and sprawling. also another note on the graphics is the desighn on the city to ressemble new york its just great i cant explain. ok now game play its kinda the same but with new twists u still drive around selecting missions doing errands for some very slimy and colorful characters. but now you can take a taxi cab were u need to go and when u fail a mission u get a text message asking if u want to do it again and that brings the biggest game play tool the cell phone. it allows u to make apointments for missions or dates to call a friend to drink some beers or go out to eat. or to use a friends special abilitys. ok now the story witch i thinks is the best story i have heard ing gameing since metal gear solid guns of liberty. u r niko bellic a imagrant from liberty city u r tricked by ur cousin roman that hes living the life of sport cars and hot women and what roman loves best big boobies any way so u get there and u realize he was lying and then u r sucked in to doing missions for the russian mob a roid monkey named brucie and some of the most funniest mob characters ever jimmy pegarino and phil bell. but my favirote characters are palyboy and jimmy and mikale faustin. another thing in the story is that niko is a good man and trys to do the right thing a lot of the time that adds a layer of humanity to his character also the game makes u make decisons on who to kill and make moral decsion a lot of theese are gut renching for example SPOLIER ALERT when u have to choose to kill dwayne or play boy x i choose dwayne. so there u have it my gta 4 review just buy this game.

INTRO

This was an amazing game that uses the PS2's abilities to the max.

9/10 GAMEPLAY

This has been compared to a GTA game, but I don't see much of a resemblence, other than it's free roaming and ability to steal cars. You are sometimes given more than one thing to do, so you can choose where to go. It can be amazingly hard at some points, but really easy at different points. Boss fights are generally easy because of the lack of attacks the boss has in my opinion.

10/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are great in every aspect, I especially liked the design of the cars, how detailed they really are. I didn't really pay attention to the music, so no comment. However, the voice acting was superb.

6/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

I think it took me about 20 hours to beat this and I just waltzed my way through it, I took my time. There's not much of a reason to replay it, unless you want to get all the secrets.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

You should get this game, you don't have to play the first two to completely understand the storyline either. This'll provide hours of fun and you won't quit till you're done.

INTRO

I bought this game hyping the multiplayer and thinking lowly of the single player. Find out more in my review.

8/10 GAMEPLAY

I barely even finished the single player. Not that it was hard, it was just kinda boring, I don't know why. The multiplayer on the other hand, is a lot of fun! Even though I sucked and only got up to two stars, I had fun and probably did over 300 matches. The controls are just like every other FPS on the DS. Stylus on bottom screen controls the view on top screen, L to shoot, D-Pad to move, etc. Get some friends though, because when you tell the matchmaker to find someone the same rank as you, it rarely will.

8/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are nothing special, especially for the DS. There are sound effects which are very good to listen to, but there is no voice acting.

10/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

That rating is not for playtime, it's for replayability. The multiplayer is a lot of fun on wi-fi, and there are different modes, but I only did battle.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

Get this game if you want a 4 player first-person deathmatch. Or if you love the Metroid series, you'll probably like this. This was my first Metroid game.

INTRO

This is a remake (I think) of the original Super Mario Bros for NES. It's a very good game and will be the best starter of the series for you if all you have is a DS.

9/10 GAMEPLAY

It's classic Mario, there's 8 worlds and 2 of them are unlockable, the last castle in World 8 is where you fight Bowser and finally save Peach. Some of the levels were a bit tough to collect all 3 stars, but most of them were really easy.

8/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are very cartoonish, and it's all 2D. Nothing wrong with that though, I like 2D. The sound effects are good, but there is no voice acting. Some good Mario tunes in there too.

7/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

Not much to do after you finish unless you didn't get all 3 stars for each level. There's also a batch of minigames to play that are like Clubhouse Games, except they're Mario themed.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

I loved this game, but it was too easy. I completed the game without dying once, not on my first try, but I did it. If you like games like that, then pick this up.

INTRO

For a movie game, it was alright. Movie games games usually suck, but this one didn't make me cry.

6/10 GAMEPLAY

It feels just like you're playing the movie. You play as each of The Incredibles at least once, but spend most of your time is spent with Mr. Incredible. It was very easy, a little bit of platforming at times, but not even worthy of being called a platformer.

7/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are fair, very cartoony. Little sketchy sometimes, like a few times I saw arms or parts of a body come through walls. The sound is good, but not that good. You hear some sound effects here and there, maybe a grunt from a long fall, but nothing amazing.

2/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

I think it took me about 6 hours to beat it, and I have no urge to play it again. Not even a little. I'll probably never play it again. Why not just watch the movie?

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

Get this if you liked the movie and enjoy crappy games. Otherwise, don't bother with it.

INTRO

If you're a fan of the series, get ready for a step up. This is the climax of the Zelda series.

9.5/10 GAMEPLAY

Kind of feels RPG-ish at first, doing deeds for different people. But then it shapes up, and there you go saving the world, wolf or man, from the twilight zone. You're carrying a new character named Midna in your shadow, who you can talk to along your journey around Hyrule. You can ride your horse, which I found its movement a little sketchy at times when you're going too fast.

10/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are amazing. Probably the best on the Cube. Cut scenes look beautiful, almost like real life. Unfortunately, there was no voice acting, but the classic Zelda soundtrack made up for it. There was some old tunes I caught in certain places.

8/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

Well, it took me a little over 40 hours to finish and then you could try to get all the Poes and Hidden Skills. Not much of a point in starting over though.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

If you're a long time fan of the series, buy it. If you're a newcomer like I was, make this your first one, like I did.

INTRO

I hyped this game up so much it was unbelievable. My expectations were met, maybe even overcome.

10/10 GAMEPLAY

Amazing. The levels aren't too long, but do vary in length. Some have some very fun puzzles, like the mirror one in the library, that one took me awhile. One thing I didn't like is when you're fighting with Farah and you forget to defend her and she dies, then you're shouting curse words at the screen. Also, I thought some of the fights were harder than the last boss battle. Like when you come up from the elevator thing and it's such a small space. I died there probably 5 times.

10/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

These graphics stunned me. How every beast turned into beautiful sand after being stabbed via dagger. The Persian music really connected the player into the game by making him/her feel Persian. And the voice acting was astounding! Right down to the accents.

9/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

Being fairly short, this took me about 10 hours to complete the first time around, then I used the next two files for a few hours each. It was highly replayable for me at first but the feeling kinda faded after the second playthrough. The original Prince Of Persia is also an unlockable in this game.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

Definitely buy this, whatever kind of games you're into. You won't regret it.

strangle hold on the ps3 was a game i waited for since 06 hell i got so sick of the delays i said the hell with this game.... well last week my friend eric said he will sell me his ps3 collectors edition for 39.dollars and 60 cents and well what i got in return was a fun very brutal bloody repetitve and somewhat confusing john woo action game.

GAMEPLAY. gameplay is very action packed and easy to control as tequila u dive around in slomow shooting dudes in the face chest groin any place u can think off. and when u kill a guy u get stlye stars and these style star r earned by pulling off combo kill like diving on a roll cart and popping some dudes well the star fill up ur tequila bomb gauge and this will allow u to pull of some crazy super moves u unlock later in the game gameplay is about a 8.0.

SOUND. well sound is great from weapons firing to the enviorments breaking apart this game sounds great also voice acting by woo and fat themselves neat huh.9.0

GRAPHICS. graphics r decent characters look pretty good but with some stilted animations. the enviorments are pretty good looking and look great being destroyed. also the woo and fatt chracters look great.7.0

STORY. is good but very confusing and has u guessing who is who and wat is wat very bad story involving wierd methlab and russian and hong kong gang stuff very bad story.4.5

multiplayer. sucks and is boring very generic. 2.0

OVERALL. stranglehold is fun short derative but will be rembered for its major destructibality and overall action so dont spend anymore then 30 to 40 dollars on this game.. or pretty much just rent it really.

INTRO

Wow. This game blew me away. The unique graphics, the intense gameplay that sucked you in, the paintbrush. It is all extremely innovative and new to me.

9.5/10 GAMEPLAY

You start as a sun god in the form of a white wolf named Okami Amaterasu. The land is overcome with darkness and you must destroy the evil using your powerful brush techniques that you acquire during the story. This took me 42 hours to beat and my will to complete it didn't fade until I did beat it. And the script is very funny too, from Issun's sexist remarks to Suzano's tremendous cockiness.

9/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are very unique, kind of like a cartoony japanese style. While you're painting they even made it so sometimes you might smudge a bit. Lettle things like that make it worthwhile. The music is very well done too, fits the atmospheres put into very well, maybe a little repetitive in battles, but hey, who am I to judge? Ij especially liked the howl Ammy gives after every important fight he wins.

8/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

Takes about 40 hours to beat and that's quick. You could spend more time collecting all the stray beads, feeding every animal, getting praise, etc.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

I say definitely buy this Zelda-esque game with RPG elements if you can find it. It's definitely worth what you pay for it.

INTRO

This game is very well done in each aspect of the game. It didn't appeal to me that much, I only bought it for the wi-fi. But then the stupid snakers ruined that, so it's pretty much useless to me now, considering I didn't really like the single player races.

8/10 GAMEPLAY

Not much to say here, I mean, it's a racing game. There are many different modes to choose from such as grand prix, time trial, vs mode, battle, and missions. That's just the single player. As for the multiplayer, there is download play (single card and multi card) where you can do battles and races, then there's wi-fi, where there's just racing. Wi-fi sucks though because of snakers. A snaker is a person who cheats by doing the turbo boost everywhere instead of just around the corners where you're supposed to do it.

8/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are very good, maybe better than the N64 version. It is very clean- cut, crisp and colorful. The sound I can't really say anything good about but can't say anything bad about either. The music is average and so are the sound effects. Nothing special.

9/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

It took me about a week to finish the grand prix, and another week to finish all the missions. So I'd say it satisfied my playtime needs. There's also a lot of replayability packed into this cartridge. All you need is three trustworthy friends who you know won't snake, and wi-fi and you're set.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

You should only get this if you have, like I said, three good friends who won't snake. Even then I don't know if it's worth the $45 I spent on it.

The story is really goood with plottwist and lots of betrayl. Graphics are pretty decent the are sharp but some the textures look bland. The ai is very iffy and is sometimes very weird. AND the most frustrating part of this game is the coversystem its not that bad but it can be a hassle when u keep running into a wall. I have yet to try the online but i hear great thing. Well In all you have a great 3rd person shooter that is a fun and crazy adventure. If you like crime movies or action flicks buy this game!!

INTRO

I bought this game for $25 because people told me it'd be like Zelda. Now I wouldn't sell it for double its price. It is one of the best games on DS.

10/10 GAMEPLAY

You start off as a little slime playing with your friends. You all wander off and find the Warrior Flute. This helps you throughout you journey. Then you're attacked by an evil group called The Plob. You must move from place to place finding and saving all the slimes that were kidnapped by the Plob. There is only one thing wrong with this game. It's much too easy. It only took me about 7 hours to save all 100 slimes. They should've either made it more difficult, or put more slimes that need saving into the game.

8.5/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are very colorful, but just like every other DS game. The music is very happy and bouncy. It fits the scenarios of the game well, I mean, you're playing as a slime who literally always has a smile glued to his face.

7/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

After you beat the game, there's not much to do. You could get all 100 slime if you haven't already, or become a tank master, I think that's what it's called. It's a very short game.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

If you're a fan of the Dragon Quest series, don't buy this. It's completely different from what I've heard. But those differences are what made me love this game.

INTRO

This game kept me occupied for quite a while. But as I progressed it got boring, and it felt like a chore to finish it.

7/10 GAMEPLAY

This was satisfactory. It was very repetitive. Go finish a dungeon, come back to town, do it over. There was only I think one time in this game where I got stuck, but I still did not need to consult a FAQ. Also, it was mostly just button mashing. There was almost no strategy involved to beat this game. This was much too easy.

8.5/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The reason I gave this what it got is because of the music. I absolutely loved the music. It was my favorite part of the game. All of it completely fit the scenario it was put into. It blew me away. The graphics on the other hand, were not so good. It just bothered me how it looked so pixelized.

6.5/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

It took me about 25 hours to finish this game, and I took my sweet time. I've played it for about 34 hours now, but the extra 9 hours put into side quests and stuff like that was just a waste of time. There's really no reason to replay this game unless you absolutely loved it the first time through.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

I advise you not to buy this game unless you are a hardcore Mana fan, which I'm not really, seeing how this was my first Mana game. I don't think it's worth what you pay for it, unless it's under $20.

INTRO I bought this game in the summer to keep me busy during long car rides. I still play it to this very day. It is a very satisfying and replayable game.

9.5/10 GAMEPLAY The game is practically perfect in this department. This is one of those times that you know there's something wrong with it, you just can't describe it. Overall, it's very straight forward, and there's almost never a time you don't know where to go.

9/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND The graphics are very good for it being a 2D game. It's just that the legs don't match the running speed. Other than that, it has very nice background pictures, good colors, and the heads that pop up when Jonathan is talking to someone are outstandingly well designed. As for sound, all I have to say is one word: Bravo. It's amazing. The music is the best I've heard in ages. I wouldn't be surprised to see myself buy the soundtrack one of these days.

8/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY This isn't extremely replayable, even though once you finish it with the good ending you could get a total of 5 secret characters to play through the story again with. I only have a total of 3 files on this game. My first one, the one I beat it with and have had since the beginning, one with Richter (a secret character), and one just to screw around with.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

I recommend almost anyone to buy this game. It is an amazing game and will keep you entertained for a long time.

This is a game for everyone. Not just adults, not just kids, but everyone. It is a very good game that can practically be played forever.

10/10 GAMEPLAY

This is where the game shines. Whether you want to talk to your neighbors, do a little fishing, or even hit a rock with a shovel for money, you'll have fun doing it. For me, this game was more of a collecting and hanging out with friends type game. I'd get up in the morning and go see what Nook had in stock, then I'd buy it to finish my catalog. After that, I'd call up to 3 friends to see if they wanted to come to my town via wi-fi. After they arrived, we'd play a number of games. Tag, hide and seek, capture the flag, you name it. And if we got bored of that, we'd swap items, or just sit and talk.

6/10 GRAPHICS/SOUND

The graphics are fair, not amazing, but not bad. Not too much to say there. The sound is also fair, with the voices being like mumbling, and the sounds you hear when the end of your fishing rod hits the water is very well done. The music differs depending on what time of day it is, which I think is pretty cool.

10/10 PLAYTIME/REPLAYABILITY

Wow. First, this game will take you at least a year to fully beat, considering some fish don't show up in the rivers or oceans until a certain seasons. Second, there is really no reason to restart this game because it'll take a long time to get back to where you were.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

You have to buy it, not rent it. Renting it just means you have to give it back, which you don't want to do. This is an endless game with extreme wi-fi capabilities. Overall, it is a very good game.

INTRO

This game is pretty great all around except for some minor details and setbacks. And as you can see with its "E" rating, it is suitable for all ages. It's a great game to play with any of your friends, even the RPG crazy ones. It is also great to relax with.

8/10 GAMEPLAY

I found it a little hard to get used to because it's all stylus controlled, and sometimes it's not clear where you move your stylus. I found myself playing single player most of the time because the wi-fi is pretty slow. Otherwise, it's very good because you can choose your opponents difficulty in single player mode. As a bonus, there are 42 different games to choose from! What more could you want?

7/10 GRAPHICS & SOUND

The graphics in Clubhouse Games are superb, but it would've been cool to see some hands in billiards, darts, etc. Other than that, it's all very clear, and it doesn't look to pixelized. Now for the sound. The sound gets repetitive very quickly. Even though each game does have its own music, I didn't really like the music. It was like old style diner music to me.

10/10 PLAYTIME/ REPLAYABILITY

You can pretty much play this game endlessly. It never gets boring. What, with the wi-fi and different modes, unlockable icons, etc. Like I said; it never gets boring.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION

I recommend buying this game. Don't rent it, buy it. You don't have to right now, but in the next month or so, buy it. Also, you should get a friend to purchase it too, or else you might get lonely because people rarely go on wi-fi. Anyway, thanks for reading my first review. I hope it helped you in your decision.

Predator concrete jungle is not exactly a stealth game nethier is it a full blown action game. In predator concrete jungle you are the predator and you have to gain your honor back by killing gang members who took your technology and are using it to kill ur race and pepole in the city. the fun stuff is you can skin pepole alive and hang them on billboards you can rip pepoles skulls out for trophies you find wepon upgrades and new wepons through out the such as maul blades tribal spear and more. you can use all ur vision modes to make ur targets more easy to see. now the bad stuff is that the pepole not detailed at all they look horrible and rushed through. the city is ok but blocky. also the camera can spiral out control at times. another thing is that the game has no check point system and that can be frustarting at time but still a good challenge. there r bonus mission u can complete to get health and armor upgrades and other costumes for your prdator. by the way the model of the prdator looks. with stealth its not executed that well u pretty much find it even wit cloak on they can see u. but all and all predator is fun addicting with a great story line a little on the profane side but if u can look past the minor problems. you will find a unique gaming experince. p.s u fight alien in the game.

i got this a week ago and its pretty good for dbz it dosent deserve a 7.0 but it dosent deserve a 9.0 it deserves a smack dab 8.0 and let me tell u y. for story mode u have to go throught portals wit differnt sagas like the sayian saga buu saga and so forth. the controls r very differnt then other dbz but u get used to it i guess. the graphics rdecent but the chracters r very block same wit enviorments. also the voices act like there bored but its good. wats really fun is inviting friends to play thats a blast in my opinion. so if ur nt a dbz fan rent i guess but if u r give this game a good shot.
