Blade 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to say that i am completely byaste with this game as i have a thing for the old Blade. So in fairness i shall try to write a fair review without going into too much of my obsession with the man with fangs they call the Daywalker.
The game has faults, lets say it and lots of them. Graphcailly this is 5 years behind the times if not more and the repative nature of the game can irk some but its just so much fun to play.
For me this is gameplay over style and i really enjoyed the GAMEPLAY here.The very different combat system is quite good and takes very little time to adjust to and allows you to kick vamps from all directions.
I mean there aint much too it. Walk in a room and fight/or blast/or cut yah way through vamp baddies. Do this over and over again. However, some of the scenes are great. As mentioned one of the most memorable sets from this game is the disco and its a pity there ain't more like this cause it rocked. I guarrentee this will be yah favourite part of the game as you hear the music get louder and louder as you approach the floor.
All the AI disintercrates when killed like the movie and Blades one-liners are there.
The storylines (there all mission based) arent that exciting and Whistler gets annoying but once again the gameplay outweighs these few nuisnaces.
I won't say anymore cause its all been said but if you can pick this game up cheap do it cause its fun and you can play it once, put it away for a couple of months and then get it out again.
A faulty game but hell, its fun, has some of the Blade coolness and has some great music that will have you humming as you play...
So yeah, it has its faults but tis fun with a captial F. If u want graphically enhanced gameplay get Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Soild 2. If you want some fun without all the extras get Blade 2.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As any gamer worth his or her salt will tell you, 99% of games based on movies are atrocious.They are usually rush jobs meant to cash in on a new release (see: Matrix for a recent example) and, in essence, trick the buyer.That is most assuredly not the case with Riddick.This is one of the 10 best XBox games ever, and many are saying that it's oodles better than the actual film!
The strength of Chronicles is its immersive, story-driven environment.I was a bit skeptical about the first person view (First person shooters on consoles tend to be really hard to control due to the absence of a mouse and keyboard combo), but I was surprised by how well it worked here.In many ways, this game is part Role Playing, part stealth, part shooter and part Adventure.The environments you explore are really, really well done (atmospheric is the word), and the play of light and shadow is the best this side of Splinter Cell.
GRAPHICS: 9/10.Very, very good.In my mind, only Morrowind and Splinter Cell surpass this game for overall graphical brilliance.There are some anti-aliasing problems during some of the cinematics, but gameplay is smooth.
CONTROL: 9/10.There are some annoyances, such as inadvertantly pressing the crouch or shine-vision buttons while fighting, but they are mostly minor.The control scheme is unobtrusive and once you get the feel of the fighting controls, you'll have a blast.
SOUND: 8/10.I wasn't bowled over by either the music or the sound effects, but everything is in keeping with the dingy, grimy world you are in.The voice-overs and acting are really well done, though.
GAMEPLAY: 9/10.Awesome.Everyone says it's too short, but I think that's because the game is so good that you want it to last longer!The production values are top-notch (you feel like you are watching the real Vin Diesel), and the story is good.It's not exactly Shakespeare, but it's a suspenseful journey through a very well rendered environment.There are plot twists and some really scary or tense moments, the level design is for the most part excellent, and the missions themselves are varied and nonrepetitive.I would have liked a bigger world (GTA 3 and Morrowind have spoiled me) with more side-quests, as well as more weapons, but hey.
Overall, this is one that I recommend to just about anyone.Parents beware!!: this is a very violent videogame, and contains tons of profanity.It deserves its mature rating!
