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.

LocoRoco Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At TGS (Tokyo Game Show) 2005, Sony of Japan announced that they were developing an original game for PSP: LocoRoco. Instead of the usual ports or re-creations or compliations of retro games, LocoRoco is a completely new venture. It focuses on a fictional planet where happy LocoRocos (yellow blobs) and MuiMuis (blue figures) live. One day, it is invaded by the Moja Troop, who eat LocoRoco. Your job is to tilt the surface to lead LocoRocos through their planet without getting eaten. You collect flowers, which gives you another LocoRoco. You can combine and separate LocoRocos, as well. You collect bugs as a food source for LocoRocos. Additionally, when you collect MuiMuis, you can get house parts.

The game is very easy. As a PSP player of Tekken:DR, complicated combo moves and annoying nuisances with the analog stick make PSP games hard to play--especially ports that we're used to seeing on PSOne and PS2. With LocoRoco, you use 3 buttons during gameplay. The shoulder buttons (LEFT and RIGHT) are used to tilt, tapping the circle button separates LocoRocos, holding the circle button combines them, and holding down both shoulder buttons makes your LocoRocos jump. A lot easier said than done. A demo disc found at EBGames and a demo for download on the PSP Memory Stick show these capabilities and can be found for download at http://www.us.playstation.com/locorocopcdemo. You must have v2.71 for this to work, I might add.

Besides a "career" mode, which pivots you into different courses with different color LocoRocos, there are "mini-games" like a Mui-Mui Crane, Chuppa game, and more. You must collect a certain amount of bugs/pickories every game to play these games. Also, there is the LocoRoco House Editor feature that allows you to create a house for your LocoRoco. I haven't yet tested it out but it is an excellent feature, I presume. By collecting MuiMuis in games, you get house parts and you can build a house for your LocoRoco.

Besides all of the gameplay features, a large soundtrack is full of bubbly, interesting, and catchy jingles with unique voices. While some find it annoying, it is very catchy and it gets stuck in my head. LocoRocos even sing along in gibberish while the song goes on. MuiMuis do, as well. The graphics are 2D like Mario, which make loading times non-existant and shows off the capability of the PSP's high-performance graphics.

In the end, LocoRoco is a game that is intuitive, simple, and beautiful to look at. It is fitted only for the PSP, and it should. Additionally, the gameplay is excellent, pivoting you into many different scenarios with many different characters (like Moja, who attack you or Chuppa, who catapults you into hidden areas). It is clearly worth $40--clearly.

PROS-
Intuitiveness and Simplicity: Easy to play, fitted for the PSP
Shows off PSP Graphic Capabilities: Beautiful to look at
Different Maps, Characters, Colors: Very unique and fresh
Not a Port or Re-creation/compliation: A completely original game
No Long Loading Times: 2D graphics prevents this
Mini-Games: Lets you take a break from main gameplay

CONS-
Longevity: Only 40 levels makes you wish for more...
Should've Used Characters More: Some characters pop up once...
You have to pay money made in career to access mini-games

5/5: FUN
5/5: GRAPHICS
5/5: GAMEPLAY

City of Villains Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you enjoyed City of Heros you will enjoy City of Villains.New Achetypes and powers, new costumes and new areas to explore all add to the flavor of being a bad guy.Many of the powers are duplicates of the hero's powers, but that shouldn't really be a surprise, what is nice is they are combined in different ways requiring different styles of play to achieve your goals.There are subtle but important differences to playing a villain which bring hours of fun.City of Heros also introduces bases which can be built by the players once they have gained enough influance.Putting your very own torture chamber into the dungeon is hard to beat.Another good point for this game, you only have to pay for one subscription to play City of Heros or City of Villains.So what are you waiting for, release your inner megalomaniac and join the villains in crushing those self rightous do-gooders and make a few bucks on the side.
