Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Action Packed) 『This was the most exciting game ever purchased. It is filled with lots of action and it also requires you to think alot in order to save the hostage.』
(Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow) 『Gave this game as a gift. Person who has it really like it and has told my family we should get it!』
(Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow) 『This is a great game for anyone who likes spec-ops. Recommend for adults who like Splinter Cell and not children- this is NOT Halo, and I'm not talking High Altitude Low Open canopy. A game where babysitting is out of the question.』
(YAY...YAY) 『This game was pretty darn good! Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow is more than an expansion than a sequel, but with all the new maps and modes, it sure feels like one. The biggest and best thing about this game is its multiplayer aspect. There are like 24 maps to play along with a lot of different game modes. These modes consist of Sharpshooter, Terrorist Hunt, Mission, Survival, Team Survival, and two new modes, Total Conquest and Retrieval. All of these are each very fun, but the new ones are especially enjoyable. They all play very well on the new maps, and it seems that the new modes were planned very well according to the layout of those new maps. The maps are larger than previous Rainbow Six games, but they are all very nice and work well. The Retrieval mode is probably my favorite. It is pretty much one flag capture the flag, except instead of a flag there is a canister. Each time spawns on different ends of the map with the canister in the center. The whole point is to retrieve the canister and bring it to your drop area. When the time ends, whoever has the most scores wins. It is a really addicting game type, and along with Sharpshooter, it is probably my favorite.
Overall, this game is one of the most addicting online player games there has been. It's fast, it's fun, and although it can sometimes be challenging, it can keep people playing for hours on end. The graphics are very nice, the online modes are insane, and there are so many maps to choose from its crazy. The graphics could be a bit better, but instead of changing them a lot from Rainbow Six 3, they instead improved the game play, added modes and maps, and made the online experience truly addicting and fun!』
(Tom Clancy.The next) 『All of the rainbow six games have great play and great multi player. Rainbow Six 3 is one of the best military shooters of all time if you don't compare it to ghost recon. Black Arrow's Xbox Live modes are pretty much as good as Rainbows (I won't go too far into detail). The maps I would say don't live up to what I was envisioning though. The graphics are better. If you like rainbow six you should buy this because it is great and cheap. The AI has been improved a little but could still use more improvement. The campaign is a good difficulty until you get the top levels on the hardest mode. Then it is down right HARD. Yet still fun. You can use split screen co-op and live. Which are all pretty cool ones. All are pretty good. On Xbox you can play Team Survival, Retrieval, Total Conquest, Survival, hunt, and missions, which are pretty fun. You really can't go wrong when buying a Rainbow six game. All of the expansions are amazing. The game features several different modes online that are Team Survival, Survival, Sharpshooter, Retrieval, and Total Conquest. They are all great modes and there are many people that still play this game online. Clans are now a big part of the whole online. One of the better system in the RB63 series online. I find it hard to be labeled as a sequel when the little improvements make it more so an expansion pack. Although the game is fun. It lacks the certain aspects that could have made it a Great sequel. They could have improved the AI. But the story was great. And I would recommend it for anyone who likes any of the Tom Clancy Games. Don't rent it for a week. Just go out and fork over 20 bucks and own. And I will see you on Xbox Live. 』 『Rainbox Six 3: Black Arrow A series of attempts to kidnap telemetry and rocket scientists pulls Team Rainbow into a spider web of international intrigue.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (SO INCREDIBLY UNDERATED AND MISAPPROPRIATED...) 『WHENEVER I COME ACROSS A REVIEW ABOUT DSII THAT RATES IT AS MEDIOCRE TO AVERAGE, I'M SO BEWILDERED AND CONFUSED.... AND THEN I DRAW THE SAME CONCLUSION - THE DESERT STORM SERIES IS A THINKING MAN'S GAME, IT'S NOT FOR THE AVERAGE MINDED GAMER WHO JUST WANTS MAYHEM, CHAOS AND IMMEDIATE SATISFACTION THROUGH DESTRUCTION - THOSE OF YOU WHO NEED THAT, PICK UP "GRAND THEFT", AND BE BORED WITHIN AN HOUR. DSII WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF ENJOYMENT.
DESERT STROM II HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER DESERT STORM, AND THANKFULLY SO. BECAUSE MY FAVORITE GAME WENT FROM DESERT STORM, TO DESERT STORM II.
I HAVE YET TO FIND ANY OTHER SIMULATED WAR GAME ON ANY SYSTEM THAT OFFERS WHAT DSII OFFERS. NO OTHER WAR GAME ALLOWS YOU TO DROP AND ROLL. NO OTHER WAR GAME HAS C4 PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES THAT CAN BE MANIPULATED LIKE DSII. NO OTHER WAR GAME HAS CLAYMORE MINES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, NO OTHER WAR GAME ALLOWS YOU TO MOVE YOUR OTHER MEN AS STRATEGICALLY, EASILY AND ACCURATELY AS DSII.
THE SNIPER IS FAR SUPERIOR TO OTHER GAMES, THE BAZOOKA, THE FOCUS ON ENEMY TROOPS IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER. THE LASER DESIGNATOR WAS THE FIRST AND BEST. OTHER WAR GAMES DON'T HAVE THE PHOSPHORUS GRENADES THAT SET ENEMY TROOPS ON FIRE. THE GRAPHICS ARE WONDERFUL AND THE SOUNDS ARE SUPERIOR TO THE OTHER WAR GAMES. THE MUSIC IS TREMENDOUS. THE FACT THAT IT HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS THAT YOU MUST BE SUCCESSFUL AT TO CONTINUE IS SO GREAT, AS WELL AS 4 DIFFERENT SETTINGS: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD AND EXTREME - NO OTHER WAR GAME HAS THAT!!!! I'M TELLING YOU, THIS GAME ROCKS!!! THIS GAME IS AWSOME!!! I'M PRAYING FOR DSIII TO COME OUT SOON.
I HAVE TO ADMIT, WHEN CONFLICT CAME OUT WITH VIET NAM, THEY FAILED. THAT GAME DESERVES A MEDIOCRE RATING. BUT I THINK THE REVIEWERS OF DESERT STORM I AND II, WHO GIVE THIS GAME AN AVERAGE OR BELOW AVG. RATING, CAN'T SEEM TO GET PAST THE EASY LEVEL, AND ARE JUST FRUSTRATED. ANYONE GIVING THIS GAME ANYTHING LESS THAN 5 STARS IS JUST SOMEONE CONTENT WITH GAMES THAT DON'T REQUIRE TOP SKILL AND THOUGHT.』
(Better than the original but still pretty horrible) 『Ok, creators of this game. Why a sequal?! It's the same story and the charactors look good but there is some bad animations throughout the entire game. The AI is improved but they aren't as smart. The audio...bad. Just listen to the gun shots and the voices. The worst part in the audio is you have to listen to them. The blood looks like powder. But your teammates are still stupid. Although its still better than the original(How Surprising) it's still below average 3 out of 5』
(Fun, but hard) 『Um... this game is great! It has great graphics, great music, but it's very challenging. On the eighth level you get captured by the Iraqis and the U.S. drops bombs to let out one of your men. You only have a knife and you have to rescue the other three men. I beat it, though, cuz I rock!!! By all means, buy this game!!!!』
(conflict:Desert Storm 2-Back to baghdad) 『desert storm is the second most realistic game I've played but it's the best game I've ever played!!! All the guns are real. The graphics are great! The makers should of made multiplayer so you can go against each other instead of cooperative. The unrealistic part is when you get shot in the head,neck, or chest you don't die. Other than that it is a perfect mix of hard and easy !!!!!!!!!!!!』
(Outstanding shoot-em up) 『If you love a squad based shoot-em up game this has got to be the game for you. The game has outstanding graphics from the great Xbox power. Through out the game there are excellent missions what are just outstanding and mission that once I got started I just could not stop until I had finished them. The overall weapons that are available to you are just outstanding. Through the game you can interact with helicopter Jets. With the vehicles you can drive tanks and the main vehicle that you can use is a jeep type truck. This a great game for the shoot-em up gamer , I must say must have.』 『Conflict Desert Storm II: Back To Baghdad takes you deep into the combat zone, during the 1991 Desert Storm operation!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bloody fun!) 『Graphicly violent loaded with blood sex and violence . Not a kids game at all . Great addition to hitman. Story is assanine . But the game is great .』
(Evil Doers Beware, The Hitman Cometh!) 『Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: LEG
When I first picked up and played Hitman Contracts I didn't know what to expect. I had heard many positive things about the game before, but had no clue it would turn out to be such an awesome game. One drawback to Hitman Contracts in particular is that it is somewhat of a sequel to Hitman Silent Assassin. Since I have not played any other Hitman games, I was a bit lost on the whole story line thing. Instead of worrying about who the Hitman was, where he came from and why he does what he does, I just went ahead and played the game. It is a "game" after all and if I want to get into something with a good story, I'll read a book!
Hitman Contracts is the third installment in the series and is a hybrid action/stealth type game. You can change your view from first person to third person with the press of a button. The learning curve wasn't too bad and once you get a "feel" for how the various weapons work, you'll be killing the baddies in no time at all.
At the start of each of the 12 missions, you are briefed on your "marks" or targets. Essentially, to finish each level you just have to take out your designated targets. This is where the game play really gets fun. Since the game is not "linear", you can basically snuff out your marks any way you want, which adds to the replay value of the game. I ended up replaying each mission several times and each time played it in a different way.
If I wanted to be stealthy, I could knock out a bad guy, take his clothes so as to "disguise" myself as that character and take care of the business at hand. However, I had to be very careful. The enemy AI in this game is pretty good and if you seem to be out of place or act too weird, then you become the hunted instead of the hunter!
I was also able to go in with a blaze of glory and blow up everything and everybody to kingdom come! Either method accomplised my main goals, but at the end of the mission my ranking was directly influenced by my actions. So, I could end up being a coveted "Silent Assassin" or your run of the mill, every day, "Mass Murderer." It was totally up to me!
Hitman Contracts for the PC, PS2 and XBox is rated "M" for mature. There are scenes of very intense, extreme, graphic violence, lots of blood and gore, strong language, strong, graphic sexual content and extreme use of drugs.
Overall Score: 8 out of 10』
(A Dangerous Mind) 『Coming from playing Blood Money into Contracts, I've noticed how much IO improved a lot of features. Contracts seemed a lot difficult and your cover gets blown quite easily by the highly suspicious and irritated AIs. The functions seem less fluid. But with all that aside, it still is a great game.
I've become a fan of the Hitman series when I first played Blood Money. I figured I'd get Contracts since it's the only one of the series (at the moment) that's compatible with the Xbox 360. In the 3rd installment, players are taken to the mind and flashbacks of our beloved hitman. Because we are taken inside his memories, the missions are a darker, grittier rehash of the ones played on Hitman: Codename 47. Hardcore fans have said it's a little redundant with a very dull storyline. I thought it was pretty clever, leading up to the last mission of this game, as well as a connection to one of the missions in Blood Money. I feel in Contracts, we see a strong development of 47 and why he's a force to be reckoned with.
As far as gameplay, like Blood Money, it's open-ended and non-linear. There are different ways to take out your targets, but will take quite a lot of trial and error to get through the levels... Even when heading towards your "point of interests," it can leave you confused for the first several tries. The challenging aspect of this game is going through each mission on stealth mode. If you want a true run and gun game, look elsewhere.
Graphics are not excellent, but not bad either. The soundtrack, on the other hand, takes this game 10 notches higher. The music is very dark and does an excellent job at immersing the player. It fits the environment of the game. As always, Jesper Kyd is brilliant.
However you'd like to play it, Contracts is great for gamers who like go out in a blaze of glory... But a lot better for those who have great patience and like to keep it stealthy. :)』
(Very disappointing) 『I was and still am a HUGE fan of Hitman 2 - freaking awesome game. I'm also not all that big on trying to complete missions with a silent assasin rating... Nor do I run n' gun... I'm kinda in-between, shoot a couple guys, but remain stealthy, no close encounters, etc.
This game is fairly absurd. Without a strategy guide, it's nearly impossible to figure out the small things like poisoning food, etc... For instance, Beldingford Manor, you have to poison and kill the horses with gas so they don't smell you, but first kill the stable guy to get his key, then find a water heater and turn it off so some lady in a shower won't be there when you go through the hidden door... the only problem is, there are no real clues and these kind of things are nearly impossible to figure out on your own, the game just gets daunting, and simply "that didn't work, reload and try a different approach" - it gets old FAST - this is the FIRST game I've had to get a strategy guide for in YEARS.... it's just that silly. Yet I was able to work my way through Hitman 2 with a few drawbacks and reloads, but it was reasonable.
I honestly don't recommend this game all that much, the plot is non-existent... and there is no real mission briefing, you aren't "traveling" around as a hitman like in H2 - you simply are just "there" in the levels... rather stupid.. and kills the whole "point" of playing the mission... just seems pointless...
The game is not that much fun compared to hitman 2, to hard to play silent without strategy guide and completely lacking a plot or "point" to even play the game...
It's still an OK game regardless, but many players will not enjoy it.』
(If you liked the previous Hitman games this is for you) 『Hitman Contracts did a lot of things right. The missions are much more open, the interaction is improved, and even the load times seem smaller. If you liked the previous Hitman games this certainly will work for you, I loved even the first Hitman game despite the then horrible control interface in the PC version of Hitman I. So all of that is better, but there still are some snags.
1) the enemy A.I. remains lacking. You can still just ambush them as they run stupid one after another past a door.
2) the briefings are horrible, I though Hitman 2 explained a lot more what was expected of the mission. In this case you often have to stumble a bit to find some of the crucial aspects.
3) there is no plot. I always thought this was going to be a straight up prequel. But the "story" is mostly the memories of 47 as he is wounded and remembering his past contracts. This form creates a very strong disconnect between missions as well.
4) there are limits on save games per level. I just hate that, specially since I love to try to kill no one but the target, which means a lot of risks and potential loading. IMHO this was done only to increase the hours of gameplay since the game is relatively short. And considering how sometimes a simple error can ruin your stealth; it is easy to press a wrong button and accidentaly pull out a gun, or a common programming error where a guard sees you through doing something you wish he hadn't seen. That sort of stuff is mostly ok, but I wish there wasn't a limit on saves per level.
That said I don't wish to paint too negative of a picture. It is still Hitman, it still is pretty good, and it is a great step up from the original Hitman. It just didn't feel better than Hitman 2.』 『JumpStart Math for 1st Site License (15)』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (One Great Game) 『If you like the old double dragon or Golden Axe games you will love this game. The graphics and sound are top notch. You go through a mansion room at a time and fight all the ghoulies. There is a ton of power-ups and weapons. It can get a touch repetitive, but that just goes with the genre.』
(The most unique beat em' up adventure ever made!) 『Cooper, a teenager (probably 14 or 15), is attacked by monsters. But instead of squealing [just because he doesn't have a gun], he beats up his enemies with furniture and objects around him; as well as using his powerful teenage body to attack monsters unarmed! In any story, monsters would never expect that; and I believe that some people who played this game learned new courage and reckless bravery.
It is a pretty difficult game the first time through, but it's so freaking funny that you'll laugh off your frusteration! The clumsy monsters often cause more damage than you do; and make such hilarious groans, moans, and noises. I have memories of laughing until my sides hurt while playing the game, because the monsters were such reckless idiots! Even when you lose, the game has no game over, so losing is almost worth it, because it's so insanely funny.
The game controls are also as unique as the game itself. You use the right joystick to attack; along with the freedom of 360 degree attack angles; plus adjust camera angles with the 2 triggers on the X-box controller for less awkward perspective while in combat. The only downside is that you can't jump or climb, but the game is still insanely fun, WAY under-rated, and far too unknown [there never was a platinum hit edition of the game]. It strongly diserves a sequel, and I'm sad that it didn't get the ratings it deserved. For those of you who haven't played it, buy it, because a few nights of renting it won't be enough time for you to get used to it and stick with it. It's WAY too fun a game to give up so hastily, so have fun!』
(fun but hard) 『I got this game when i was about 8 and now im 11 and it was fun then and its fun now but it took me about 4 years to beat.It got kind of old after i played the first chapter but i kept on comin back and tryin but in the end my friend beat it for me. It is a long game and is challenging but you should rent it first because if you are 13 or 14 you probley wouldnt like it.』
(Rare makes anouther masterpiece.) 『People that belive this game is too kiddy and disided not to by this game. This game is fun.

The gameplay is fun and challenging; I don't know how a six year old could take this game at such difficultly. I enjoy the Ghoullies and and the characters you meet around the mansion.

(Great!!!!) 『As a fan of John Carpenter's 1982 cult classic The Thing, I have to say that I loved this game. The history of games based on movies and movies based on games have proven to be poor for the most part but it's not the case here. This game is a sequel to the film which was executed very, very well. It has a good story, but what impressed me the most was the gameplay, especially managing fear and trust with your squad members which was a theme in the movie. If your a fan of survival horror, this games for you, if your a fan of the movie, this is definitely for you.』

(A Terrifyingly Fun Game) 『The Thing rocks. From the very begining this game is scary. You start out as a soldier sent out looking for survivors in a destroyed science base in antarctica but find only mangled or frozen bodies, and scattered papers that describe some kind of mutating infection. Later you find a fellow soldier, cowering in a corner, surrounded by mutilated bodys and babbeling about an unknown horror. This horror, the thing, is a virus that mutates anyone infected by it into a nightmarish beast. Your fellow soldiers suspect everyone of being infected and paranoia sets in. In this game you not only have to fight the monsters, but also cope with your teammates fears. A great story, cool weapons, and managing fear make The Thing a grade A horror game. The gory content of this game also makes it scary. Finding an evecerated corpse impaled upon its own severed limb, while your men cringe nervously as they hear strange shrieks and growels coming from the shadows, really adds up to a terrify game. I love this game and all my buddys who have rented or borrowed it ended up buying it because they loved it so much too. If you enjoy horror games or are a fan of the movie than buy it because this will blow you away. (you should also see the movie if you havent already, its great)』 『This game picks up where the classic horror film leaves off -- you play Captain Blake, a soldier sent to Antarctica to find the scientists who were the Thing's first victims. In 11 frightening levels, you'll have to lead your team against disgusting monsters, from the scuttling head-spiders and human-like walkers to the gigantic multi-tentacled level bosses』 『Based on the same elements that made the movie so enjoyable--fear, suspense, and the possibility that your teammate might be infected--The Thinglets players creep into action with the help of several nonplayer characters (NPCs), whom you use to protect and aid your group. Using a core team of engineers, medics, and soldiers, players must manage the level of trust in, and fear of, you that these characters experience. They react to your actions and might betray you if they think you are the Thing. Conversely, you must constantly monitor which one of them might be infected. Other characters must trust you, but if they fear you, actions as drastic as coercion are necessary. For example, if a soldier doesn't have confidence in you, you may have to put your gun to his head to convince him you're not the Thing... and for his sake, he'd better believe.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb) 『This game was challenging and extremely fun. I kept catching myself making the whip sounds I got into it so much』
(Fantastic Game) 『This is one of the best games I have ever played. There is more fist-fighting than shooting and such. That just makes the game all the more interesting, in my opinions. It isn't shooting all the time. And there are several puzzles to solve. You need to use your head for this, or you won't get anywhere. You can't save whenever you want. All that makes it very challenging.
There are two parts in the game that are really annoying, because they are extremely difficult. You need to use your brain, and you need to muster up all the patience in the world that is available to complete those two levels. And you need to stay calm and composed to get through it. Try getting excited and you get Indy killed. Those stages I'm talking about can be completed. You need patience.
The game is great. Certainly something worth the money. You don't need to be an Indiana Jones fan or know what he's all about to be able to play the game. You can understand what's going on quite easily. This game deserves five stars at all levels and that's why it gets that from me.
』
(Still one of the best xbox games) 『Even though this game is a little old and I've bought other newer titles, this still remains one of my favorite games for my xbox.
The graphics on this one aren't the best, but are about average compared to others. If you look closely at Indy's face, he looks very cartoon-like as opposed to some higher level of detail found in games like Splinter Cell. The sound quality, like the graphics, aren't impressive, but don't sound generic like other games tend to.
It only takes a few short minutes to really get the hang of the controls and gameplay. Once mastered, you'll love how easy it is to whip out a gun or drink from your canteen to regain health.
Probably the game's low point is the fighting controls used against enemies. After a while, you find yourself beating up all enemies in generally the same way. Seeing as how fighting only has two buttons and pretty much no "special moves" there isn't a lot to do. But to save time, it's quicker to just shoot them.
But on the flip side, the high point of the game is the overall fun you'll have. The game is complicated enough to make it a challenge, but yet not too hard to make it frustrating. It's rare that you'll become completely stuck that you need to consult online help. The game will provide hours of non-stop fun.
Bottom line, dispite the newer games that have come out and all the games in my collection, Indiana Jones is the one I wind up playing time and time again.』
(let's kick some Nazi butt!) 『This is the best Indiana Jones game by far! The Infernal Machine sucked! I'm a fan of the movies and loved this game! It's so fun to beat up Nazis, Chinese guards, Gestapo, the Black Dragon Triad, and much more!
It took me two years to beat this game and when i finally finished it, I didn't want it to be over! You start out searching for the Idol of Kouru-Whatu, a mythical artifact located deep inside the caverens of Ceylon ( Sri-lanka). You get lots of time to get aquinted with the easy controls, and still get to kick some mercenary ass. After that, you return to Barlem College where he is met by two people from china. Marshall Kai, and his assistant Mei Ying, who of course becomes Indy's girlfriend.
This game is set in 1935 before the Temple of Doom. Anyway, you get hired to find a chinese artifact that was buried with the first emperor of China, Ch'in Shi'huang Ti. You go to Prague castle to search for the second part of the Mirror of Dreams, an object that can show you the hidden booby traps in the tomb. It turns out that MarshaLL Kai is actually the leader of the Black Dragon Triad and had formed an alliance with the Nazis to recover the Heart of the Dragon. This leads to trouble and at the end you get to kill Kai with a sharp blade. All through Prague you'll be pitted against the merciless Gestapo.
Indy gets captured at prague and taken to istanbul for interogation. you break out of your cell and recover the third part of the mirror. Don't worry, the levels are easy to figure out complete with turkish/iraquis gaurds.
After that, Mei Ying invites indy to the Golden Lotus opera house in Hong Kong. Unfortuneatly, Marshall Kain interupts their quiet dinner and captures miss ying. You fight off fifty triad members and waiters before finding your way outside just as Mei is driven away in a car, tied up. You hitch a ride with Wu Han and engage in an intence shootout against cars and motorcycles pursuing you with machine guns. You end up at the docks just as mei ying and your nazi nemisis Von Beck sail away on a submarine.
you end up going to peng lai island, where kai's castle and a nazi base is located. you find a change of clothes and only keep your identity hidden for about two levels.
you get to kai's fortress and fight your way into the fortress. this is when you begin to fight zombies and other supernatural beings.
you get to the emperor's tomb and find the heart. bla bla bla........you win, after you kill of Marshall Kai. As for von beck, he falls into a bottomless pit a few levels earlier.
buy this game!』
(Don't waste your hard earned $$) 『Although I am a huge Indy fan of the movies and of the Infernal Machine game, this game is terrible!!!. The only good thing I have to say about this game is the graphics are great, nice textures, great 3D graphics, and nice intriguing environments from what little I saw. Honestly, I quit this game after the third level because I had to play them over and over so many times. NOTE: THERE IS NO IN GAME SAVING on this thing. Which means if you slip and fall while exiting into a new level you almost have to start the level all over again. This would happen in real life of course but this is a game, After working so hard to get through a level and the end joy would be to start the level over?? that's crazy!!! If you want a good indy game and haven't tried it, get The Infernal Machine.. Also the controls on this game are terrible, very cumbersome.』 『In Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, you go on a globe-spanning adventure to prevent an ancient artifact from falling into the wrong hands!』 『"If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones." So says theTemple of Doommovie poster, and--Lara Croft notwithstanding--Indiana Jones is still synonymous with glory, romance, treasure, and adventure. Previous Indiana Jones games were produced by the graphic-adventure game masters at LucasArts. This latest installment is an action-oriented romp made by the Collective, the same development house that produced the critically acclaimedBuffy the Vampire Slayerfor Xbox. TheBuffygame engine is a good fit for Indy, as he travels the world on a quest to prevent the discovery of an ancient Chinese secret that could spell the end of creation itself.
Such a quest should be easy for an adventurer like Indy, and with game controls that are as well laid out as these, it is easy. Indy can run, jump, shimmy up ropes, swing with his whip, and duke it out with nasty villains. True to the movies, Indy also has to navigate an almost constant stream of deathtraps. Caves full of traps, ruins full of traps, medieval castles filled with traps, and guess what you find in China, yes, more traps. It gets repetitive, but the game has some clever tricks in its floppy hat. For example, skulls make noise, so Indy can toss a few and watch crocodiles target them instead of him.
Indy can execute quick punch combinations to knock his foes out, or he can pick up weapons such as a chair, plank of wood, machete, or firearm. His famous whip can be used to disarm foes. The only problem is the camera, which is difficult to keep in the right position--you have complete control of it, but it's hard to manage a camera while you're fighting a martial arts expert, a Nazi with a gun, or a poacher keen on decapitating Indy.
The graphics are good, pleasantly reminding you of some of the movies' more memorable locales. The in-game Indy mug looks like Harrison Ford down to the chin scar. Other nice touches include how Indy has to actually pick up his hat if it falls off during a fight, and the little '30s plane flying over the aged and weathered world map. The music is pure John Williams, and the voice work is handled by convincing imitators. The guy they got for Indy, in particular, sounds a lot like Ford himself. Sadly no other movie characters of note appear in the game. (I was looking for John Rhys-Davies at least, because he seems to be in every video game that comes out.)
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tombdoes right by its license and provides hours of entertainment for anyone who's ever wanted to relive the movies starring the most exciting adventurer alive. Lara Croft, eat your heart out because if gaming adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones.--Bob Andrews
Pros:
True to the films
Great graphics and fight controls
Good voice acting
Cons:
Too many trap sequences
Camera problems common to third-person action games
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Fun Game) 『My daugter enjoys this game that I purchased her. You can create your own theme park and interact with characters.』
(Thrillville xbox version) 『This game is fun for all ages. Build your own amusement park, complete with rollercoasters, and other rides, then let your own character ride the rides you made yourself. Race your friends in go-carts, or just cruise your park and watch others ride your own ride you made yourself. Some people get sick coming off your roller coaster!
This game has other games to play besides making a park. You can be a cheerleader, play carnival games, and ride the bumper cars. My kids enjoy playing this over and over. Your amusement park can be saved for another day when you want to play again. Can be played by four people at a time. Jump on the trampoline with your buddies and see who can do the most tricks. Very entertaining, would recommend this for kids of all ages.
』
(Awsome game) 『This game was purchased for my son for x-mas and has played with it everyday since receiving it. the theme of the game is cool and allows interaction with characters in park.』
(I can't believe this is the game that Frontier WANTED and pushed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to the side.) 『I figure to give this game a chance. It's a real shame that they ripped off Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and added some unique things like roaming the park, cleaning up the park, and talking to your guests. All of this could of been done in RCT3 as you can ride your rides, but Frontier decided to pull the plug on RCT3 and put all their "marbles" into this game. As in the console game, it's much watered down. The PC version is not even fun enough to erase Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.
To sum it up, your uncle gives you a chance of owning your own theme park. You have to complete goals, talk to your guestd and build your park up.
It was fun for a little while. Playing mini-golf with a guest was good. But you cannot pick a spot to put a ride or stall as it is pre-determined. The game forces you to put it in specific places. Riding the rides is similar to RCT3 and it just didn't have the same vibe. When I was riding my own creations in RCT3 you slightly felt it lol but that was just me. In both Thrillvile and RCT3, the people in the parks (as well as yourself) are just a little too cartoonish.
I really didn't like this game and returned it recently. I enjoy playing RCT3.』
(THE BEST GAME I HAVE!!!!!!!! Out of 10 games.) 『This game is so much fun! you can choose, and custamize your charector, dress them up, run the park, talk to people, play mini games, put in new coasters, rides, and food stalls! Thres also missions you can do to get to the next park! It's the best. It also has very fun music!』 『Thrillville XBox』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (only on playstation) 『This game is fun, I played it on ps2 first At a friends house years later, the helicopter that chases you isnt even cool looking like in ps2, and the tracks are all the same almost in the xbox overall its fun but on the ps2』
(The game safe) 『I thought the game was safe. I would recommend anybody to buy the game.』
(NEED FOR SPEED : HOT PURSUIT 2) 『The game for x-box is good, and brings me hours of gaming fun, and entertainment. I recomend this game for those who also like the Burnout series, and for those who like racing games in general.』
(Great Game) 『Wow this game is awesome. If you like racing games then this is the one 4 u. This game has great graphics, awesome cars, and innumerable tracks(because u can play each track in 4 different directions). The handling and speed of the cars are more realistic than any other racing game i've ever played. I only have 2 complaints with this game, 1)The cops are too hard at the very beginning of the game, they have way to fast cars and they are to skilled for the very first levels. Through the game though you learn how to avoid them and it gets about twice as fun. 2) The damage to the cars when you wreck isnt very realistic. I hit a tree going almost 200 mph and all it did was make my car smoke out the back and it opened my hood. It didn't even effect the way my car drove. This game has great graphics. When you go off road the smoke from the ground isn't just black/gray like other racing games, its actually the color of the ground and its not all blocky looking. Also another thing i like is that when u make skid marks they don't go away throughout the race. I think that's awesome because i like to look at my skid marks to see the mistakes i make the first time and try not to make that same mistake more than once. Also the cars look like real cars. The shininess of the paint actually changes with the different lighting of the track. Since there are so many cars and tracks you cant ever get bored with this game. I love this game and would recommend it to anyone who likes racing games with great graphics and awesome cars. This game rox.』
(cop chases, nice cars, sound good already) 『i only had this game for three days and from what a played let me tell you it's good. fast ferraris, mclarens and much more then i want to write. want some fun, get the game and be on the run........』 『Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2stays true to the heritage of the NFS series by housing a stable of over 20 exclusive and exotic cars from the world's most coveted licensors including Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini, to name a few.
The game includes a variety of open road environments that truly come to life, consisting of river crossings, waterfalls, beaches, volcanoes, and brushfires. Over 20 courses, some of which are more than 15 miles long, provide the widest variety of driving challenges. Animated drivers and cops give life to the drivers within the game, bringing added emotion to the world of these exotic super cars.
Become the king of the road by conquering numerous racing events, all carrying rewards such as cars, tracks, and high-performance model upgrades. The game challenges the driver to dodge traffic, police, and natural elements in high speed and high style--true NFS style.
Be the Cop mode lets players actually get behind the wheel of a police car and attempt to bust those pesky lawbreakers. For added multiplayer enjoyment, square off against a friend to see if justice can be served.』
