a intresting game with a really good story for a FPS game . this game was kind of a suprise to me . i really liked the powers you get and they are very useful and fun to wach in use. playing a villian i thought was a nice touch out to take down your uncle for trying to kill you. the graphics are very well done the story grabs you nicely . the gun play is a mixed bag the up close and personal kills look great but range shooting is very iffy .the online is a giant mess and should never be played it was very tacked on . i would have liked to see a sequel to this game.… Expand

a good shooter game that was abit over hyped . i liked the funky graphics sytle they did for this game . the story is intresting and keeps you motivated to want to know what will happen next with a good plot twist . every one calling this game open ended is exagerating ALOT! there is no open endedness to this game you are stuck on a path killing things and thats about it . when i think open ended i think morrowind , oblivion , or fallout 3 ... not this game. the wepons selection is pretty much the same old stuff nothing new . you can make different types of ammo which is cool and upgrade your guns . the powers are a mixed bag some are useful most are crap . which is where this game fails abit the powers are really most usful when playing on casual if you play on mediem or higher they are kinda usless a few will have there uses but guns will work better . which make this a typical shooting game but still a good one . this game will take you 8 hours to complete which makes me wished i just rented it instead of buy it . because after i beat it i had no disire to want to play it again . going good or evil was really no point as it really didnt have much effect out side of you get more adam or less and a differnt ending.this game getting GOTY ... i just dont see why.… Expand

Final Fantasy XI

Average User Score: 6.9

User Score 6

this is one of the best and worst MMO's ive ever played . there is some great things in this game with alot of bad. the good would be theres actaully a decent story in this game which for most MMO's they usualy suck. combat is actaully fun with the use of skill chains and magic burst attacks you actaully feel like you have to use some team work to kill enimys although its more like speed things up for more exp . the world is huge and looks great. there are many crafts you can do to make money . the BCNM's are insanely tough and fun . every thing els pretty much sucks about this game . the party system is broken as because sqaurenix in its infinite stupidity destroyed most of the classes and favord just a few . so if you want to be that summoner and get to 75 forget it . unless you want to spend weeks looking for a party and never getting it . traveling around the worls is complete BS! it takes FOREVER to get any where miss the air ship well you gota sit and wait , miss the boat well gotta sit and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait , want a tele to some where then you sit and yell and wait , looking for a party well you put your flag up and you wait and you wait and wait and wait and wait and wait ... you get the picture . this game shouldnt be called FFXI it should be called FF online the extremely long waiting game . doing quests solo is extremely hard so guess what more waiting for people to help unless you have a very very helpful linkshell group. the econimy is a complete mess and prices fluctate so badly its beyond rediculas . the mix in with the japanese players is terrable especially if you are on a japanese driven server and they dont like to play with US players because of the communication breakdown . they should have gave you options to play in ENG, JP , or mixed servers . paying $13 a month for this game is rediculas it should be eather from free to $5 a month with up to 8 extra charicters FOR FREE!!! because why the **** am i paying $13 a month to sit around and do nothing ?… Expand

God of War III

Average User Score: 8.6

User Score 9

this game looks amazing the graphics are some of the best ive seen . every thing is extremely well detailed . this game is simply brutal in the blood and gore department i dont think ive seen voilance this over the top . i found myself asking myself at the end of this game " is there any one Kratos wont kill?" the boss fights are fantastic . i did find the final battle abit of a let down . it doesnt suck or any thing but compared to some of the other epic boss fights just isnt as good . id also wish they would get rid of the QTE in this game and all others . i like to sit , wach and enjoy some of theese amazing sceens but instead i have to look for button pressing events which are not hard to do but i just wana admire whats going on with out looking for buttons to hit. the combat is just as good as prevous GOW games . the only real anoying parts where when you are flying through the tunnels . if you hit one object expect to hit abunch more because you get blinded abit and have virtauly 0 time to react to dodging the nexts obstical. all in all though its a great game dont think GOW fans will be disapointed .… Expand

Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire

Average User Score: 4.8

User Score 4

a pretty poor excuse for a gundam game . graphics look like it should be on the PS2 . not a big gundam selection . very short can beat it in less then 5 hours. missions arnt very intresting . story is dull . i was really hoping for some thing like gundam side story 0079 like on the dreamcast but bigger and better . even though i only paid $15 for this game 3 years ago still wasnt worth it the cash . hopefully we get a better gundam game for the US soon.… Expand

Call of Duty: Black Ops

now i liked COD4 as for COD WAW ...eh.. COD MW2 bleck . i was not expecting much of any thing from this game and its pretty much what i got . the graphics do look pretty good . controls are solid . there are some new things for multiplayer . thats about it . the story mode is still far to short with retarded AI enimys who come out in infinite waves . the online is pretty much been there done that (YAWN) even though they slightly improved it with the credit system itsstill the same old run around like a chicken with your head cut off and shoot every thing that moved much like the bizzilion other online FPS games . treyarch takes no chances to try to wow you they just slightly add a few new things slap a new name on the case and there you go. die hard COD fans im sure will suck this up like a pig in a crap pile . if you where getting bored with COD and was hoping this game would revitilize your love for this game keep on waiting.… Expand

Transformers: War for Cybertron

Average User Score: 8.7

User Score 7

wasnt to sure what to expect from this game . when its coming from activision its even more troubiling . well they did actauly pull off a pretty decent transformers game that thank god didnt follow micheal bays Transformers and sticks alot to the old G1 cartoon . it's basically a prequel to when the war for cybertron started . the voice acting is pretty good and the charicters feel like they should. star scream has his lust for power and wants to take over as leader of the decipticons . megatron is a sidistical uncaring mad man . so it feels right to that extent . you fight through 5 missions as eather autobot or decipticon . the story mode for each is about 4-5 hours long whoch you can also play in co-op . you also get 2 other AI player following you and helping you out who do a fairly decent job of backing you up. there banter as you run through the game is a nice touch and brings the transformers universe to life . the gameplay is pretty simple just shoot and kill with a few platforming and a few other elements tossed in . this is also where the game lacks because it gets alittle repetitive shooting no name robots over and over and you get little ammo to shoot with and can only carry 2 guns at a time . which brings me to the wepons which arnt any thing that wowed me and i wish you could carry more then just 2 and more ammo. it also would have been nice if in the start of the game it gave you a guide on the controls and what does what . they do have a guide in the pause menue but it sucks . the game is also abit buggy nothing terrable mind you but the game will freeze up on occasion durring load time . my PS3 is only 2 months old and has no problem with any other game and ive heard the same from my friends as well having this issue. this happend to me 2 times through both story modes and my game was saved seconds before it happend so i wasnt to mad about it other then having to power off my PS3 . if the missions has more varity this could been a much better game the online though is pretty fun and i had fun with it for about a week . which is pretty good for me having played so many differnt games online in the last 12 years i find hardly any thing that i find i wana play longer then a day online . all and all though it was a pretty decent game based off of TF . it could have been better but it is atleast worth a rental and if you are a die hard TF fan you will be pretty happy with this game .… Expand

Dead Space

Average User Score: 9.3

User Score 10

this game is true survivle horror . it takes over where resident evil has lost its path . the game actaully tries to and does a fairly decent job at being scarry . this game also is best played on hard or impossable diffuculty . forget easy and normal you will have way to much ammo and the game isnt even a challange . impossable is the most fun thats when the game feels tense and a constent worry of do i have enough ammo should i run from the enimy or kill him? then enimys will jump into vents if you try to run and dropped down on you as you try to escape . it captures what i want theese kinds of games to do for me . make me tense and worried about my sitaution . it controls just like resident evil 4 and plays pretty much the same . the sound effects are really well done not as good as what some of the silent hill games have done to where there is constent noises that keep you on edge wondering is some thing there but the music can really get to you . espicially when you hear the erie twinkle twinkle little star song being sung . the story is well told and the feeling of being stranded on a dead space ship is done very well. the wepon selection feels differnt and uniqe . my only gripe with this game is that the final boss battle is just to easy even on impossable he is easily beatin with out even being touched but overal this game did what i was hoping it would do bring survivle horror back to where it belongs . hope the sequel does this all again.… Expand
