Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Ghost Recon 2) 『This is a great game if you like tactical shooters, the graphics are great and the game overall is really visually inviting. The storyline is not much to think about but I won't ruin it for you, let me just say don't expect any surprises. The next problem is the AI is really a problem, your team sometimes they just sit there and let you do all the work. As for the enemies they will run and advance towards you but when you shoot them they don't even act like their shot, they just sort of lay down. Another part I want to point out that I found disappointing, the multiplayer is great live but splitscreen they toned it down from what it used to be in originals. Splitscreen with just two people doesn't allow you to pick a whole ghost team but puts you solo against your oponent. Your not going 4 ghost against 4 ghost but more of a oo7 type style of splitscreen. But there is co-op also. One last thing, it also lets you go back through the missions and play lone wolf with high tech gear and recon and other different ways to take to the fight of your choosing. However if you mind the few quirks ubisoft has left and you like the original series, this game might be for you. I liked the game overall, it presents challenges. Then again I still think if I knew what this game was really like I wouldn't have bought it. If』
(Not worth it. This is not Ghost Recon) 『I bought this game on the strength of the Original and Island Thunder. I want my money back. It's just doesn't meet muster. It cannot be compared to Ghost Recon.
AI is lame, no control of fire teams or switching between team members. What is the deal with the Single character mission?
I'll be trading this one in.』
(Good game, some excellent additions and improvements) 『The Ghost Recon franchise is prolific and evolving. 2 is a big change over 1 from FPS into FPS/TPS - 3rd person over-the-shoulder. More games should employ the FPS/TPS choice (Elder Scrolls does). Commands are new, interface new, weapons new. The gun with the TV screen is cool. Lone Wolf missions new. Voice acting new. There are some fierce massive firefights in this one over previous Ghost Recon games. The spirit is the same - squad-based military shooter. Great game.』
(Best military game I've ever seen) 『Ghost Recon 2 is a great shooter game that provides hours of fun. Solo and Multiplayer are both very good. There are lots of cool weapons to choose from, like the ultra-accurate M8 sharpshooter, or the camera-equipped M29. Graphics are awesome, I've not noticed any choppiness except in dense forests with lots of trees. Music is decent and the sound is well done. Multiplayer, even local multiplayer is always fun. The solo missions, however, are VERY challenging, probably because you need only take one or two shots before you're dead. Once you get through the missions, though, you can go back and play them as a firefight, a recon, a defend, or a lone wolf (where you get high-tech equipment). This feature gives it great replay value.
I only have a single complaint about this game, friendly AI, especially with the British soldiers, who, although they can be helpful, often walk into your line of fire and get shot, and you fail the mission immediately. Other than that, this is the coolest Xbox game that exists.』
(Hit, or Miss?) 『If you haven't yet played a Ghost Recon game, Ghost Recon 2 will be some good fun. Up-to date graphics, a fresh story and hours of challenging modern combat is what you should be expecting from this title. I was expected a bit more based on my great experiences with the first Ghosts, which entailed a more tactical approach. And this is where the disappointment begins. The game play: I quickly learned that I no longer have control over customizing my team aside from weapon selection. The whole team is assigned automatically. Yuck! Also, the team is smaller and must face more enemies, armored vehicles and helicopters. These things seem to steer this title away from its roots which is good and bad.
There are so many good elements found in the original GR which are missing here, such as being involved in developing the skills of your team mates. Previously you could send 6 into the field and let them gain valuable experience and make them better. Also missing are bonus objectives that, when successfully completed will unlock new team members and weapons. Another nice feature was winning medals for personal kills during a mission. These, and other features, seem to have vanished. All of it was sacrificed and replaced by a lame point score system that has no effect on your team's performance or outcome of the missions. It only serves to let you obtain images, big deal.
You start with an initial objective in each of GR2's missions, further objectives are then added by your HQ during the mission. One of the major flaws in the game is this very thing. You may think that you have completed an objective only to find that you have to backtrack to a previous location because you missed a secondary objective that was added during your mission. After which you may have completed the objective and not even realize it. This aspect of the game needs some improvement to make the game flow better and alleviate some frustration.
Aside from a few irritating things that are likely just a result of personal taste, it's a decent addition to the series.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Good game, but could be better) 『Blood Omen 2 is a good game overall, which is hard to find these days. The story is intriguing and the characters are interesting. Let's break this game down:
GRAPHICS: I give the graphics 3 out of 5 because I don't believe the graphics are to the standard we expect of an X BOX game. The graphics don't look much different than the PSX.
CONTROLS: I give the controls 3 out of 5 because the controls are easy to master; however, even with your gained powers throughout the game you can't do much. You continue to hack and slash the same way throughout the game all the way to the end. Also, it is difficult at times to fight several enemies or enemies with armor as they have special attacks they use frequently that you can not block and in some cases can't dodge.
FUN FACTOR: I give the fun factor 4 out of 5 as I believe the game is still fun to play despite the discrepancies within the game. The story line is almost enough to keep you interested. Additionally, you have to use your head as most levels contain puzzles you have to solve in order to open a door or destroy an enemy. It is not your typical hack and slash game.
I gave this game a four star rating because I have enjoyed playing this game despite the discrepancies. I like the fact that you gain additional powers throughout the game. For example with the mist power, you can sneak up to enemies and conduct a stealth kill. If you are looking for a good game that is somewhat challenging and you like the Legacy of Kain series this may be a good game for you; however, if you get frustrated easily this may not be a good choice as the controls and moves are a bit cumbersome. 』
(A very fun game to play) 『I'm sure there are many gamers out there who, with enough imagination, will find something wrong to say with any x-box game. I'm not one of those people. I found the game really fun, and I recommend this game to any one who likes games who are challenging but accessible. I'm sure some will find that this description doesn't deserveà Five star rating, and maybe they are right. But the truth is I wish more reviews were more honest (from the heart) and less technical. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed if you get this game!』
(Terrible addition to the franchise) 『I started the SR series with Legacy of Kain (SR2). I was sadly disappointed in Blood Omen 2, which has none of the ingenuity or artistry of the SR series. So I settled in for an action game, and was disappointed in the fighting engine (very tricky, and often results in your character getting killed from behind). Halfway through the game, emphasis seems to switch from action to lever-pulling, as you have a series of nonsensical puzzles to solve. Definitely the most depressing part of the game is the cut-scenes. Everyone in the game talks like they're fresh out of a vampire soap opera (kind of like an Anne Rice rip-off but without the sex). Plus, if your character gets killed after listening to a 3-minute dialogue segment, you have to watch the whole thing over again. And again. And again, until you get to the next save point. Very frustrating. I would NOT reccommend this game.』
(Good, but definetly has problems) 『The Blood Omen series is very different from its sister series Soul Reaver (which I highly recommend). Don't get me wrong, this game is pretty cool at times. But I have a hard time getting past the lame combat system ( you have to hold down the left trigger and then press ONE button to attack). The blood drinking is cool, but the meter gets annoying. You have to constantly drink blood or the meter will run out and you'll die. This is also a very linear game, you have one path to go and thats all you can do, go forward down a straight path (I have a hard time believing in a huge city there is only one road or alley). BUT, this game is alot more accessible than the Soul Reaver series. People not familiar with the Legacy of Kain saga can pick up this game and have a good time. Soul reaver focuses more on building on the plot while Blood Omen focuses on action. If your a fan of action games with a good story I would definetly recommend picking up all of the Legacy of Kain games (Blood Omen and Soul Reaver tie in together). Start with the first Blood Omen, as is the start of this engrossing tale.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The music is a turnoff) 『If you don't know what Dance Dance Revolution is (DDR), its a rhythem game where you stand on a dance pad and stomp or touch the squares to the beat of the music. The game has arrows that flow from the bottom to the top of the screen and you step down when the arrow reaches the top. Its simple on easy for beginners, and insanely difficult for the pros.
The real selling point for this type of game is the music and quite honestly the music in Ultramix 4 a big turnoff. Its really unenjoyable. However, for $[...] you can download previous Ultramix soundtracks via X-Box Live (if you have the previous games).
Ultramix 4 has new features like a calorie counter, training mode and workout mode. Training mode is pretty good for new people like me just learning. Workout mode is continuous dancing and if calorie counter is enabled you can see that you burn about 100 calories an hour on easy. This is not a replacement workout, unless you are a hardcore DDR veteran.
There are several modes like Battle Mode, Callenge Mode, but the main mode is Adventure, where you go through a city via a map and pay game money to dance battle computer characters. Not only can you get two mats and DDR with a friend right there, but there is online compatibility that will keep you dancing.
You can even make your own dance patterns with an in game editor. You can even edit background videos, but both features are very cumbersome and not worth your time to do.
As for the dance pad, it shifts on carpet, so its best if you have a hard wood floor, but then all of the "dancing" might be hard on your feet.
You can and should skip this product.

(Not enough R&B style songs.) 『If R&B or Hip Hop is not your usual music, you'll probably like it. It has a lot of nice features. A quest mode where you dance your way, trying to gain fans and money and hopefully unlock new songs. Work out mode, which is what I usually use it for. It has Beginner, Basic and a few other difficulty levels.
If your new to DDR there is also a Tutorial mode which is nice.
My only real gripe is the music. I find it hard to pick up the beat to techno type songs.
If your like me and perfer R&B songs, Ultramix 1 is the better choice. While it doesn't have as many features as 4, it has more then 1 or 2 R&B selections and some that arent but are easy to pick up the beat to that you won't mind listening/dancing to.
I wish the company would release DDR titles that caters to all the different music styles so your not stuck with 100 songs and you only like 2.』 『DDR Ultramix 4 Bundle XBox』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (FUN!) 『I loved this game! If you like action packed games with a puzzle-type of theme, than this is it. There is parts that really make you think.』
(Tomb Raider Legend) 『Tomb Raider Legend delivers the fun game play that many of us have come to expect from a Tomb Raider Game. The puzzles in the game are challenging but not impossible. The combat difficulty can be adjusted so this game is perfect for anyone, especially if the person has ever played a Tomb Raider Game before. Tomb Raider Legend utilizes the XBox's hardware well to produce stunning in-game graphics. The controls are easy to use. In addition to the main storyline, obtaining all the rewards to gain 100% completion in the game adds hours of fun. This game is definitely worth picking up!』
(Tomb Raider Legend - Xbox) 『Great fun climbing, exploring, fighting bosses, solving puzzles and collecting more than 100 hidden tokens. If you need more challenge, the time trails for each mission will keep you busy. Hope to see more TR for Xbox in the future.』
(Nicely done!) 『As many others have stated, the older TR titles have been fun but hard to control. Legend gets it right!
I am now on level 3 and I have to say Legend is well done indeed and is a blast to play. The cinematic cutscenes as well as the interactive cutscenes are wonderfully done. The in-game graphics as beautifully rendered and as you play you can't help but stop to look around and enjoy the landscapes such as waterfalls and mountainsides.
I have only played TRL in two sittings so far so I cannot tell how long the game will take except from what I have read in other reviews...approximately 7 hrs give or take. My goal is to complete one level per day due to the fact that I work a full time job in my career.
The levels are fairly long too, but not too long to get tedious. They are pretty much the right length.
I did get to ride the Ducati yesterday and it was a nice break in the gameplay. Variety makes a game good and keeps you interested and TRL seems to have that.
As far as how much the game is worth paying due to the length..well that is entirely up to you. I found a copy on clearance for only $10 and it is well worth it.
I do at some point recommend this title to anyone interested in Indiana Jones type genres due to the fact that TR is basically a female Indy. =)』
(Best Tomb Raider Yet) 『This round Lara is swept up in quite a few new adventures. There are more new moves, more complex puzzles not to mention more difficult enemys to destroy. The Croft Manor is a fun puzzle in itself as well. Over all a great addition to the Tomb Raider game list.』 『Tomb Raider: Legend Xbox Tomb Raider: Legend revives the athletic, intelligent and entertaining adventurer who won the hearts and minds of gamers worldwide.

THE GODFATHER THE GAME allows you to play a character who joins the Corleone family after the murder of your father and rise through the family ranks. The ultimate goal is to become not only the Corleone Don, but the Don of New York. For the most part, the storyline follows the plot of THE GODFATHER movie. There are main missions to complete that progress the storyline, but there are also other missions you can complete to increase the family business and wipe out other rival families. You can choose to ignore the smaller missions, but if you wish to become the Don of New York you'll have to complete them. These smaller missions bring you into conflict with rival families and if you attack a rival family too often, you'll incite a Mob War and will have to either bomb a property of the rival family or pay off an FBI agent.
Those who have played GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS will notice many similarities. The games are very similar in the format, but completely different in style. The settings of THE GODFATHER recreate New York City from the late 1950s-early 1960s. Everything from the clothing the characters wear to the cars they drive are vintage. The game is quite violent, but even the violence is a bit more stylistic instead of the more savage and in-your-face violence found in GTA games. Most of the characters from THE GODFATHER movie are seen in the game and they resemble their movie counterparts.
I really enjoyed playing THE GODFATHER. The only negative about the game was all of the driving. There were many times while playing that you had to drive from one part of New York to the other. This was rather tedious, especially if I was across the bridge in the Bronx and had to travel to Hell's Kitchen to complete a mission (that would take about four minutes just to drive).
Overall, though the game doesn't break any new ground, it's an entertaining game that's full of style.』
(Great Game EA..) 『theres not too much bad i can say about this game at all. the graphics on the box are excellent, the controls are flawless and New York in the timeframe of the 50's is captured Beautifully. the Gun Fights are particularly realistic due to the fact that you cant take 10 shots and still live...1 shot from a shotgon and 90% of your life is gone...so youv really got to be smart when going into a gunfight with multiple enemies...because if not, you WILL be killed every single time. the 5 areas that they give you to explore are satisfying, and extorting the shops in all 5 areas will keep you Busy for a VERRYYY long time. that in and of itself could have been the games main focus. overall, if you were interested in Godfather or just like a decent exploration game with shooting action...or if you collect xbox games like me..you NEED to pick this up...you wont be dissapointed. this is right up there with any GTA title you can name, in alot of ways, even better...excellent job E.A...
iLL .』
(A Microcosm of EA) 『Two thing stand out about this game:
1) The remarkable degree to which it was lifted from the GTA franchise 2) How inferior it is to said franchise
Really, it comes down to the difference between EA and Rockstar Games. Rockstar very rarely puts anything less than A effort into their games. Consequently, A ideas become A games and even F ideas become C games. EA puts C effort into most of their games, so even a great idea like this one becomes a B or C game. Not BAD certainly, but far from great.
Some of the flaws of the game are forgivable because they are flawws of the genre: narrative in video games is still in its infancy (in my mind, television is just now coming into its own as a narrative medium and it has been at it a lot longer than video games and is closer to more developed mediums like movies and books). A lot of the flaws, though, are simply problems of too little effort having been put into the game.
I don't BLAME EA for this per se. It is established that people will buy their games even if they put C effort into them. I don't see what motivation they have to put A effort in any more than they do. HAving said that, I didn't notice until I got the game home that it was from EA. Had a noticed that, I wouldn't have bought the games. I'll be more careful in the future.』
(Amazing) 『This game is pretty much GTA but with a much larger story line and one that actually makes sense. The only downside is the small choice of weapons. It is one of the most open ended games i have ever played. You can either play the story, or you can just run around and rob banks or scare businesses owners into sharing their profits with the family. One of the best features is the ability to hire assistants to help you out. It is very enjoyable to attack your rival families compounds and warehouses with your own private army. This is a must own for the 360.』
(There's so much to do that when you beat it, there's still stuff to do...) 『This game took me all summer to beat.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (just like being there) 『This game is so much fun. Choose the region,weather,time of day. I can catch some fish but it's not too easy where there's no challenge. It's fun and I can play for hours.』
(Great fun!) 『Great selection of rods/reels and fish to go after. Graphics are good. We play in a big group and its always fun. Drag is fine .. we never have problems. There's lots of fishing games we've tried but always come back to this one.』
(This game is AWESOME) 『Totaly awsome game! It rocks so hard. You just gotta buy this game. Activision really nailed the details and graphics. The best fishing game ever, if any game ever beats this, it gonna be the sequel! If you hav been wanting 2 buy a fishing game, then this is the game 2 buy. #1 game, i would play this game ALL night. I dont know about the other reviewers, saying this game is a drag, it ROCKS. Buy this game, u wont regret it!』
(Pro Fishing?) 『First I understand that the title is Rapala but please. For choices of rod/reel selection there are no baitcasters... what's up with that. Secondly the weight of the fish versus the drag setting is a joke, I fish numerous tournaments and have never had a 5 to 6 lb Largemouth bass break my line with my drag set as tight as it can go, yet it happens in this game. The actuall setting of the hook well as the other reviews point out it is pretty much random as there is no skill here, there always seems to be way to much slack in the line. There is no changing the speed of which you reel-in just start or stop. Lastly the amount of lake available to fish is really pathetic. At least for the price, you only out 20 dollars.』
(Not enough attention to detail) 『The game is fun when you first play, but there are too many flaws for long term enjoyment. My list of the bad: - NO multiplayer - can only select from Rapala lures, not soft baits, no spinners, etc. - deep diving baits go directly to the bottom regardless of water depth, and are unuseable - lures do not react realistically to rod movement, move the rod tip up and your lure may move 4-5 feet, there is also a terrible delay to rod movements, retrieves, and stops - stop-and-go retrieves do not work, and twitching jerk baits does not work - this is the most annoying part of the game - consistent casting distance is difficult to achieve - line tension meter is not consistent with fish movements - setting the hook seems to be a random event, not dependent on how you perform the actions - holding the right trigger (retrieve) continuously with a fish on makes no difference in the fight or the tension meter - you only get a small portion of a lake to fish - maybe 200 acres of a 20,000 acre lake - tournament mode places you directly in the lake, there is no pre-launch strategy such as reviewing topo maps - fishing partner sounds like Jerry McGinnis and talks more than Fish Fishburn - annoying - his only useful tip is "this looks like a good spot" - horrible boat driving simulation - you won't be driving the boat around for fun 』 『Rapala Pro Fishing lets you experience fishing like never before! It has the most realistic underwater environments, beautifully detailed fish, and the best rod control of any game on the market. Amazing graphics - Real-world lighting&vegetation, advanced depth of field, caustic effect』

(Awesome game!) 『One of my favorite rally games out there, the wrecks are outstanding, plus being able to race other cars on the track makes it nice as well (crashing is fun XD)』
(Tiny framerate issues anyone??) 『I resently got this game because I was looking for a good rally game for the xbox, and damn it is. Before purchasing this game i read alot of reviews about this game and all of them specified that the game had a rock solid framerate, but In some instances of the game while playing against 3 opponents In ice racing (any track) the framerate slows quite a bit but only when you are close and in front of your opponents.Why din't anyone notice this?? From all the reviews i've read none have reported this small issue, or maybe my xbox is getting old or something...
But beside that this game Is worth buying.』
(The best Rally game out there...) 『I had to write a review entirely because the spotlight review was written by someone who hadn't 'got' this game or taken the time to explore the settings.
Actually, I see reviews all the time claim this game is an 'arcade' rally game, indicating that perhaps the game lacks depth, maybe has unrealistic physics, or even simple fake graphics.
All of these points are wrong. Completely false. The cars handle extremely realistically, and most folks who play this agree this is the BEST looking racer available. Better than Forza? Not sure, but better than PGR2 by a hundred - double the frame rate for start. You see, not least of which is the 60fps you get with a HD TV, but add to that the amazing reflections, muddy splashes, infinite distance view (with a tiny amount of inconsequential pop-up trees) and you have a showcase game. I've had more than one PS2 owner go out and buy an XBOX for this game after playing it in my house - testament indeed to the incredible realism this Rally racer offers.
Previously, the 'easy left' that you co-pi states was mentioned as a fault... When your rally co-pilot claims 'Easy left' or 'hard right' then you have the game on arcade setting.
A simple click in the settings would result in '3 left opens to 4' or '1 right, opens to 3. Bump onto straight through tunnel. Hairpin right' offering a much more useful, accurate indication of the upcoming road conditions.
Ultimately - this game is stunning. Worth every penny of the budget price it's currently at - if you're hesitant due to lax reviews, don't be.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (As a long time fan I have to say...) 『That this is one of the best ghost recon games out there! For one thing the other reviews don't focus on this version all by itself. They just compare the sections of this version to the 360 version and that isn't very fair! The game has a great story mode as well as awesome graphics for a regular xbox and to top it all off a stupendous multiplayer mode. You play as Captain Mitchel the leader of Ghost Squad in the year 2013. It's your job to stop a mexican rebel uprising, keep the president safe, stay alive, and most importantly, keep your squad alive. Unlike other shooters this one takes thought and strategy. If you charge into an area all guns blazing, you'll be dead in less than a minute, I'm serious. You need to think about where to place teammates, what weapons to use and when to use them, and what commands to give your squad. All in all if you like Tom Clancy games or Ghost Recon all together, forget the other reviews and pick this up if you don't have a 360. Score:9/10』
(just no) 『no. for the 360, this game is a brilliant masterpiece, but for xbox, just no. not gonna happen. shouldnt happen. i have it for xbox and 360 and i love it on 360 but on xbox i regret ever buying it. bad gameplay, bad graphics, and TYPOS to name just a FEW, no, LESS than a few problems with the xbox version of this game. just to many problems. JUST NO.』
(Better than the first two) 『Advanced warfighter in my opinion was better than the first two, and i will list the reasons. One, for me, i like to be able to see my weapon when i am in single player mode, in multiplayer it doesn't matter. Second, the graphics are superior than the first two, and the gameplay is just overall better. The first one, Ghost recon, was a little bloody, the second one, GR2, was better, and this one, didn't have blood splatters all over the place when you killed an enemy. The future force technology, however, was my favorite part of the game, and ultimately what won me over. The new technology in the gameplay made you feel like an elite squad of "Ghosts" with prototype technology. The gameplay was, a little unrealistic in the fact that you can take quite a few bullets before going down, but who knows what kind of body armor we'll have for the military in the future? The learning curve was huge, it took me hours to figure out how to do this, after dying a couple dozen times, but when you learn how to play it, it becomes fun when you have everything figured out. I would definitely recommend this over the Playstation version even though i'm a die-hard Sony fan. Graphics are better, multiplayer, and more features make for better gameplay.』
(GR Enthusiast who hates this game) 『I paid $50 bucks for this when it came out. I took it back to get half my money on trade within a week. Ubisoft should be ashamed. The porting to X-BOX is terrible. Honestly, this game is worse than the original GR games (Island Thunder etc.). Slow, clunky, not fun. The online mission mode is limited to two players--and buggy on top of that--music not playing, lagging out, etc. This is from a guy who is a five-star and in the top 100 on both GR2 and GR2-Summit Strike. Both of those games are ten times better the this. Notice that nearly everyone who has played the other games are dissappointed with this one. It might seem okay if you don't know better, but believe me this game is terrible compared with the other GR tiles (and the Rainbow Sixes, at that). Ubisoft should pay me back the $25 I lost on it. (P.S. It is the only X-BOX game I EVER traded back. My library is around 30 titles).』
(Great game!) 『I am not an "action game player" (hate this type of games) but this is the only one which got me! I played all series of this game and I like it very much, especially where is the first person view. I think this is the most successful version. Better graphic and more realistic. Some saying that is more difficult to play but for me this is not a challenge at all. You just need to be better that's all. Unexpectedly for me I LOVE this game!』 『In 2013 the U.S. Army will implement the Integrated Warfighter System (IWS) evolving what we know as the modern soldierIWS combines advanced weapon systems satellite communication devices and enhanced survivability into one fully integrated combat systemFollowing an insurgence in Mexico City the U.S. Army's most elite Special Forces team is deployed to the center of the conflict to regain the cityGreatly outnumbered but fully equipped with the IWS this elite team is the first and last line of defense on the battlefieldJoin the quiet professionals become a Ghost todayFormat: XBOX Genre: SPORTS/GAMES UPC: 008888512806 Manufacturer No: 51280』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (High expectations failed.) 『I had high expectations for this game, but was very disappointed by it. First, the story did not interest me at all. It also seemed to make no sense, and went all over the place. Second, the gameplay wasn't good. I got lost many times because it didn't clarify what to do or where to go. The maps were very confusing. I would avoid this game if at all possible.』
(Time Splitters) 『My son liked it a lot. I didn't play it yet, but he seemed to have a good time. He is 14 years old.』
("Time to Split") 『The third entry in the "TimeSplitters" series, "Future Perfect" is by far the best. This simplistic yet highly satisfying shooting gallery has excitement and humor in equal parts, and one of the best lead characters to ever grace a game of this type. If you like to bust caps and laugh out loud, then this game is most definitely a bullet with your name on it.
You assume the role of Cortez, who might initially seem like little more than a Riddick (see "Pitch Black") rip-off born from the generic action hero generator. As Cortez finds himself hopping through time in an effort to thwart the evil plans of a madman and the titular alien race known as the Splitters, you gradually come to realize he's got a personality all his own. Despite being a capable bad@$$, he's also a lumbering oaf that would rather dive into a swimming pool headfirst without a second thought than check to see if it's first filled with water. His interactions with other characters in the game, themselves quite memorable, as well as his interactions with himself (yes, I said himself!), range from charming to hilarious. He's not so much as rip-off of other action heroes as he is a parody of them, and that makes him one of the best protagonists in the history of the FPS genre.
Gameplay in "Future Perfect" is similar to previous entries but more polished and, ultimately, more entertaining. Without a jump button of any kind, the game basically tasks you with old school running and gunning the likes of which are rare these days. And the guns themselves, they are plentiful, varied, and fun to use. In fact, if there's one problem with the game's arsenal, it's that there are too many weapons to choose from! For instance, you'll only get to use the so-called time grenades in one mission, and given the slow motion blast that they emit that's truly a shame because they alone or more fun than most entire FPS games' entire catalog of arms. The same can be said of the stake gun, which fires spikes that impale opponents, and these are only two of many examples.
Few games have such delicious variety, point of fact. Each level, or time period, is essentially a lengthy episode that feels like its own self-contained mini-game. Each one has its own very intriguing personalities, storylines, themes, weapons, and opponents. For instance, one episode is essentially a survival horror scenario (or parody, one that successfully rips both "Resident Evil" and "Doom 3" with efficiency) in which you combat zombies and other assorted beasties with baseball bats, flame throwers, and the aforementioned stake gun. The following level is a science fiction futurescape (still in Cortez's past) that puts you up against robots and mutants with high-tech weapons that include the also aforementioned time grenades. The look and feel of each individual episode is exclusive to that episode, so that it feels as though you're playing through vignettes instead of missions. It's brilliant, and more games should take note.
Interestingly, other games in the franchise were rated "T", but this one gets an "M" with its satisfying gouts of blood and cartoonish violence. Scoring a headshot on a enemy is extremely gratifying, while so to is exploding mutants with serum-injected bullets, or burning through undead with a flamethrower. None of this feels overly vicious, however, as the game's tongue in cheek flavor spills over into the bloodletting. It's all in good fun - and good fun it is. It never really asks you to take it seriously, and yet it never really deteriorates into "Serious Sam" ridiculousness either. The balance is almost perfect.
And as fun as playing through the game alone can be, playing co-operatively through the story mode with a friend is sometimes even better -- though both are worth going through, as events in the story and objectives in the game can change depending upon which mode you're using. The landscape of gaming would improve tremendously if more game designers took note and included a co-op mode in every game. And the multiplayer suite on the whole is as attractive as ever, offering plenty of incentive to go beyond the campaign and take on other players head-to-head if that's your cup of tea.
Despite all the praise, though, "Future Perfect" has its problems. For starters, the story mode is brief at best. More would have been appreciated, but that's mainly because what's there is so good. Also, some niggles in co-op play include an annoying "feature" that causes one player to teleport closer to another if he/she has progressed in the level, which can be extremely disorienting and is only rarely helpful. Also, the lack of a jump button keeps you feeling unrealistically grounded, and given the progression of shooters in this day and age, it's time this series let you take both feet off the ground. What's more, a few technical niggles show their ugly faces from time to time. One glitch sent me falling through the floor to my demise.
Despite the fact that it's not revolutionary in the slightest and brings little new to the FPS genre, "Future Perfect" is still an absolute blast. The characters and their antics even make the cut-scenes imminently rewatchable on repeat viewings, despite all the good gameplay to be had around them. As far as console blast fests go, they just don't get much better than this. This is a classic example of how to make a basic run-and-gun fun again, and one of the funniest games ever made to boot. Play it if that sounds at all like your bag. 』
(Better than Timesplitters 2) 『I love this game. I knew it would be fun but playing with someone else is the best!』
(Excellent Multiplayer) 『it should be noted first and foremost that the single-player story mode in this game is weak. it's amusing the first time through, but it doesn't really make you want to come back and play again. The co-op story mode is essentially the same, just with more bad guys (and one of you has to play as the sidekick).
however...
the multiplayer in this game is exceptional. there are about 150 characters to choose from, ranging from Cortez (the main character) to four monkey permutations, a dead deer, a prepubescent girl, a policewoman with a large chest, and a few circus clowns. there are a lot of weapons to choose from, although only six are allowed at once. you dont' need more than six. there are many different multiplayer modes, ranging from simple death matches to assault and defender modes as well as an elimination mode where each player gets a set number of lives and is out when all of them are lost. there is room for up to nine bots per level, so it you only have one friend, it doesn't have to be 1 on 1 all the time.
the mapmaker is simple to use and the best in teh series, but it could have done with more fleshing-out. it's great for making simple levels, but mostly just open spaces with little room for barriers, cover, etc.
all in all, this game is an excellent multiplayer game. the control scheme works well and is completely customizable. if you like shooters to play with friends, then this is your game.』 『Jump through time in this third episode of one of the most critically acclaimed console first-person shooters of all time.
