Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI Review

Average Reviews:
4.3 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I doubt that the people viewing this product are not familiar with (some of) the previous 10 instalments of the RotTK series. Personally, I was introduced to RotTK when the 7th series came out on PS2. Since the seventh, each new instalment that comes out simply 'chibifies'/outranks the previous instalment in all aspects of game play - which makes me wonder if Koei will ever hit a ceiling (i hope not).

The 11th instalment is in no way an exception. Though at first i was a little disappointed due to the complexity of the game, i realised the awesomeness was simply being overlooked by me due to my inability to quickly adapt to the new 'system'.

The highlights of the game are (these may be spoilirish if you like being surprised):
-You can marry of your officers
-All the female figures are vassals
-You can create Oaths
-Transport of Material, Officers etc is not instantaneous - more realistic
-You play the game as the sovereign (don't be turned of by this, you'll have full autonomy over your vassals, strategists etc)
-The map is 3-D
-The portraits of the prominent figures change as they age (though I haven't experienced this since so far i only played rise of heroes)

The rest you'll have to experience yourself, all in all, the game is simply great!

Disney High School Musical 3: Senior Year Review

Average Reviews:
3.8 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)An extra star for only costing $10 including dance pad!

Simple, limited, fun. Great for kids. Daughers age 5 & 12 both enjoyed it. Repative sure. However, not annoyingly so (yet anyway).

Even if one only plays it a short time, it's only $10 and can be resold.

Total Annihilation: The Core Contingency Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Now this is a great expansion for Total Annihilation. No one can doubt that. It adds about 50 units to your game, about 5 or 10 different map types, About 50 to 100 maps, 1000's of features to go with the maps, and it's what is required to play just about every mod for TA out there (Currently, 2009, the places where you can find them are vanishing, but later, they'll be back). It adds one mission set to Core, one to Arm, and an added Arm mission, Krogoth Encounter. Krogoth is for Core, and is one of the added units. If you see this coming after you, just hurry up and highlight all your units and hit CTRL+D. It's better for you to be the cause of your units death. If you have Core Contingency, that means you can download 3rd party units, which some of them are better than Cavedogs units. Once you have it, you'll be surprised how better it is, not that you need it, because even without it, it's still a great game.

Settlers 5 Heritage Kings Gold Review

Average Reviews:
4.2 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I first purchased and played Settlers 6, which is absolutely excelent.
I am a little disapointed with #5 and expected it to be more like #6.
It should be noted that I bought #5 as a protest to the newest game in the series.
The devil is in the details with #7 . . . must annually pay a subsciption for a server;
server crashes;no off-line play at all ETC. UBI-Soft made a classic blunder. Shame, it
is one of the reasons why I know nothing about FF11, for example.

Frogger Review

Average Reviews:
3.9 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)The new Frogger is a combination of easy fun and frustratingly hard. It is a bit addicting - my friends and I just HAD to get past a certain level before we turned off the console.. but it gets to the point where one wouldlike to start to tear his/her hair out.The first level is the best(that's the classic Frogger), the second level sort of leaves me wonderingwhere i am supposed to be hopping, the third level is impossible (i thinkit's just there for show), and it continues on like that -- some levels aretricky and fun, others are just not possible to complete, and others arevery ambiguous about how to get to the goals.All in all, i liked thegame. It has simple controls and it's fun to play by yourself or with afriend.

Warship Gunner 2 Review

Average Reviews:
4.3 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I've had this game for a few weeks and so far its pretty good. I can do without the animation before and after each mission.
However,the game play is pretty good. I have the first warship gunner and the addition to the submarine is a big plus. It was alot better then i thought it would be. I am going through the game for the second time and the levels and weapons are getting more intense. Bottom line,if you like the first,get this one.

The Godfather The Don's Edition Review

Average Reviews:
4.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Before I start the review, I would like to strongly emphasize that I ONLY gave this game 3 stars because it is an exact replica of the PS2 game, which I enjoyed immensly and finished back when it was first released for the PS2. I would give the original game 4.5 stars easy. But because I enjoyed it so much, left the PS2 game in a different country, and paid half the retail price for this one, I am not furious, but disappointed indeed. And this is why I gave it 3 stars.
The developers, needless to say as prominent as EA games, invested almost no time or effort into upgrading the game. Graphics wise, it is almost identical. I expected some sort of improvement to suit the PS3, both for the cut scenes, which are alot, and for the gaming experience itself. In that respect, I felt I was playing the same exact PS2 game. The storyline is identical, borrowing the plot from the first movie while the protagonist (the main player we customize and play with) is the guy who does the jobs required for the Corleone family, until he reaches Don status and owns NY (then you're on your own, no movie plot anymore). I did not expect a change in plot, but I did expect additives GTA-style extra missions and diversions from the main tale. This, in a way, did not change. The weapons, cars, execution styles, scenery, landscape, were not altered at all (except for rain, which ok, adds some element). And like I said, remain on almost the same graphical level from the PS2 version of the game. Also, the loading time for scenes and such remain unnecessary high. Comes to show you that the game was not entirely modified for the PS3, to at least attempt to harness its powers. I have played other games that are more graphically-intensive that rendered alot faster loading speeds.
There were however, a few twists added. Firstly, the missions are more diverted. Now, besides having the hit missions (where you whack someone for a price), you have favor missions as well, where you go do favors for family members. Not impressed really, because most missions, more or less, follow the same patterns, but ok, a nice addition. There are also playing style changes. This is really the one change in the game I liked. The one I enjoy the most is the crew hiring option, where you can hire members of the family (below or equal you in rank that is) to tag along wherever you go (not in the main plot though of course) to assist you in extorting and fighting other family members and the cops. There is also another option, where you can call onto 4 members at the same time to do the same thing. When fighting warehouses and such (alot of other family members in one place), it gets pretty intense. That is an excellent idea. However, other than that, most other additions, supposedly adding flavor to the game are not THAT great. For instance, instead of just flirting with hookers in brothels, some of them can give you tips (gossips as they call it), that you then act upon and use for your advantage. For example, a police chief could be photographed with hookers, she comes and tells you where you can locate the photographer, you go buy his photos, and blackmail the chief. Nice, but definitely not a reason to play the whole game again (another reviewer focuses on the new additions, so no sense of repeating them again, you get the point).
If you have already played the first version of the Godfather, honestly, you don't need to buy this, unless you think it's one of the best games you have ever played. But if you never have, and love GTA-style games, this should be an instant buy for you. Yes it does get repetitive; you're really doing the same exact thing over and over again, with minor to no difference. But what game isn't, especially in this genre?
Hope this helps.
