Peter Jackson's King Kong Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow what a beautiful game.I am very impressed by the graphics on this one.But what about the gameplay.It is very unique.Most of the game you are a human running around in first person shooter mode.This is pretty cool.Sometimes you will have to look around in the environment to find things to use.An example would be finding a spearlike object to hurl at a t-rex.THis sounds like it would be tough, but it really isn't.While you cock the spear with one hand, your other hand points to where you will throw the spear.THis brings up a very unique aspect of the game.There is no health meter, no reticle for shooting, no ammo readout.NO nothing.You are IN the game just as a real person would be.This helps with the immersion in the game.But what about the Kong Levels?They are way fun and way short.they are probably only about %25 of the game.They are fun though.A little clumsy on the controls, but fun.All in all this is a good game.Not great, but pretty good.You might wait a month and get it half priced used on ebay.Whatever the case, you will be pretty happy with your purchase.

The Simpsons Hit & Run Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are a Simpsons fan, you'll love this game.If you're not, well, you find it to be a decent game at best.This game is a smaller, less refined version of GTA littered with great Simpson references.Any true fan of the Simpsons will enjoy finding jokes from many of the shows scattered throughout the game.
The Simpsons is like Grand Theft Auto 3 in that missions involve driving a car around a city, and sometimes walking around.Instead of one huge city, there are 7 levels, comprising of one of three different subsections of Springfield - the neighborhood, the downtown, and the marina district.All the Simpsons haunts and characters are there.The Kwik-E-Mart, the Nuclear Power Plant.It's all there.You play as Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Apu.
Unlike other Simpsons games, this is a polished game.It's fun to explore the places and characters.There are many side missions and gags to do as well.Unlike GTA3 though, the sense of being in a living, breathing city is just not there.The main part of the game are the story missions.There are a total of 49 of those to complete.The missions are all a variant of race someone, gather something, or beat the clock.After a while, the repetitiveness of these missions begin to pine away at the novelty.The multi part missions are terrible in that failing a latter part of the mission causes you to restart the whole mission again.Couple this with the bad traffic AI and sometimes you just want to break the controller.
There are some other things that frustrate me.The Multi-player is terrible.All it is a cheap race that looks exactly like an NES game (the 8-bit version).It should not have been included.Also, the beginning levels are way too easy, and the latter levels are way too frustrating.
All in all, it's a good game and I recommend it to any true Simpsons fan out there, but don't expect miracles.
Pros:
Hilarious
Tons of obscure Simpsons references
An actual fun and polished Simpsons game
Great for exploration
Cons:
Missions are repetitive
Traffic and AI are badly designed
Stuck on some missions
The "multi" player level is an insult to gaming.
Time to Complete (Story missions only): 17 hours
Frustration Level: Medium/High
Difficulty Level: Easy/Medium
