Messiah Limited Edition Wireless SNES Controllers Super Nintendo Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have received my shipment of the Messiah Wireless SNES Controllers (from the website itself, if you are looking for some they sell them there since Amazon seems to be out, just type Messiah in Google and click on Messiah Entertainment, Inc.). For the price, I got a few cool little trinkets and things - nothing too mind blowing though. The Special Edition comes with a lunch box, a Messiah dog tag, a manual, and two controllers with receivers.

I have mixed feelings for the controller. For one definite plus, they are wireless, each with four channels to use for connection (in case you feel like getting four of them (you rich person you)). There is also a Turbo feature and a Slow feature, which basically speak for themselves if you've ever bought a third party controller before - Turbo makes (a) button(s) repeat itself over and over (you can just specify one button, a few, or all buttons on this controller), and slow basically pauses the game over and over, creating a "slow" effect.

These buttons (Turbo and Slow), along with Start and Select, are "touch sensitive". From my experience, you still need to give them just a little push, so they aren't REALLY touch sensitive, but they work as far as buttons go.

And L(eft) and R(ight) shoulder buttons are fine. No complains here. But who says I'm complaining? I haven't even started with the major complaint, because the rest of the controller is great...

With the minor exception of the "D-pad". Or, Direction Pad, if you aren't in the know. It's not much of a D-pad itself, it's taken more of the analog sticks we've known for today, like the XBox's S controller (indent for your thumb). Whats weird is that you can spin the nob on the controller as you please, but really does nothing. Why couldn't there be a traditional D-pad, as long as it didn't infringe on Nintendo's patent? Yobo did it. Other third party controllers do it for todays controllers... So why did they feel like adding it here?

It's not the exact same precision as the official SNES controller, but after a few minutes (or hours, depends on who you are) of playing with the D-knob, it doesn't seem so bad. It kind of grows on you... So there really isn't a complaint here, it's just adjusting to the thing is awkward with the first few times of play.

Me, I highly recommend this controller if you are still a SNES enthusiast, if you still dust off SNES carts and give them a go and hate wires, or you want a weird product to go with your weird FC Twin System (guilty as charged). If you don't like adapting to new things, if you can't stand third party controllers, if you are a super SNES l33t person, stay away from these. I love playing Super Metroid on my wide screen without people coming over and tripping over the cords. :)

Basically there are 20 dogs in all... 18 of which are featured in the first 3 editions (see below).Dalmations and Jack Russel Terriers are the only dogs that are not featured in any of the first 3 games.This newest edition includes Dalmations and 5 other popular dogs from the other 3 games.I assume they will release Jack Russel edition next. lol

Dead to Rights Retribution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had not played the first Dead to Rights, so this is my review of this game as it stands by itself and not the franchise as a whole. This is a review of the game from the playability aspect and not of the story. You can safely read my whole review and not have the story ruined at all. As I write this I have played it a couple of hours and will update this after I finish the whole game.

Overview:
You play as vice cop Jack Slate. Your job is to clean up Grant City. This game is mostly its a shooter with a different twist where your pet is a vicious fighting machine.

Game mechanics:(+)
If you ever played World Of Warcraft and played a hunter class you will be familiar with playing through your pet, (Shadow). This game takes that mechanic and builds on it by allowing you to control your pet with more "nuance", the end result is that its not just about going in guns blazing. Instead you must anticipate how Shadow will respond to the environment and also the threats. Its a pretty cool mix of the ideas of combat. Of course as Jack you can do your own special moves .

Shadow's forms: (+)
The cool thing is as Shadow you can play three different modes; one being a rogue like class where Shadow actually hunkers down and walks like a ninja dog, you know, if ninja dogs existed that is. Another one of his forms is a neutral fighter mode which is like a standard fighter class. The last form is the berserker form which is like all other berserker archetypal character. You do much more damage but are significantly weaker as far as armor.

Graphics: (+)
On the PS3 this looks fantastic. The textures are really sharp and detailed. At times there are alot of shadows and it can be difficult to see certain areas, but thats where Shadow comes in. Jack is kinda clunky appearing at times, but overall the look and appearance of the game as a whole is really crisp.

Lighting: (+)
The shadows look great! Usually in PS3 games there are jaggy shadows. In this I see them but not nearly as bad as say AC2. All in all they are crisp and flow over the objects in the game very well.

Motion Capture: (+)
The motion capture in this game is REALLY smooth. Especially with regards to Shadow, the dog animation looks very lifelike. During the fight sequences there are times Jack looks a bit like a puppet, but overall the motion is smooth.

Fighting (+/-)
'Hand to hand: (+)
The hand to hand fighting in this is spot on and a real fun part of the game. At times the moves are easy to execute because the built in character AI anticipates the moves you are trying to do, just enough to not be annoying.

Shooting: (-)
I didnt like the shooting in this game. It at times seemed off and a bit difficult to aim. I am not sure if it was the lack of aim assist or too much of it. Either way it was kind of hard to shoot at times.

Shadow: (+)
He tears this game up. I almost think that I would enjoy playing solely as Shadow for the whole game and just assume he could talk to people. It really is fun playing him as a pet and also as his own character. Very cool moves and vicious attacks.

Environments: (-)
The environments are standard post-apocalyptic fare. The mobs you are fighting are eh... ok. The ai is fine but the weird thing is the story has some glaring holes in it. I wont cover them here as to keep the no spoilers aspect of my reviews correct. Suffice to say you may be wondering what or where things are coming from, from time to time.

Replayability: (-)
I have not finished this yet but I do not see me being all that interested in replaying this just for trophies like I would for Assassins Creed II or Uncharted 1/2. It looks like I may play it one more time but after that I wouldn't be interested in playing it again.

Summary: (+)
This game sofar has been a blast to play and I look forward to finishing it. While its not perfect, it does offer some great story telling and the animations for Shadow are fantastic. It looks like they used motion capture for his animation. Jack is fun to play and its overall a really enjoyable game to play. I may change my story once I finish it.

Thank you for reading my review.
