Yea a lot of people complained about that when the game was announced but it's actually a much better way of doing it.Gonic wrote:Persona 3 Portable...I was expecting to be able to run round school etc, the over head thing may take sometime getting use to
What Are You Playing Now?
Metroid Fusion - An absolutely brilliant game, although I'm shocked at how easy it is. I've only been playing for half an hour and I'm about a third of the way through the game (owned it years ago and beat it a few times).
Spyro Season of Ice - Actually quite a good little platformer. Seems to capture everything the PS1 Spyro games had...hard to get used to playing in an isometric viewpoint and it does suffer slightly on the GB Micro screen
GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City - Oh my god this game blows. Terrible graphics, clunky archaic controls, boring missions, horrible combat & a city that's way too big for it's own good. I mean, fair enough if you could actually go into buildings but you can't! You just spend like half a fucking hour driving from one end to the other...only to hit a toll booth or something, get chased down, shot, and have to do it all over. I cannot believe this got rated so highly

Probably the weakest of the main Metroid games due to linearity, easiness, and wordiness but it's still a Metroid and there for still amazing.Rayne wrote:Metroid Fusion - An absolutely brilliant game, although I'm shocked at how easy it is.

Edit: Okay it's not the weakest since NES Metroid and Metroid 2 haven't aged well at all.
Totally agree. The subsequent playthroughs are more annoying due to all the text from that robot. The first time it's interesting, the second it's alright, by the third it's like 'effing shut up and let me play'Reknoc wrote:Probably the weakest of the main Metroid games due to linearity, easiness, and wordiness but it's still a Metroid and there for still amazing.
Started Crysis 2. Wooooow. Graphically it is absolutely jaw-dropping. Not played in 3D yet (still waiting on the telly to be delivered). The way it plays is also very interesting, balancing the suit powers (which also equate to health) means you need to have a strategy before you do anything, then you need to be able to pull it off elegantly and, in the midst of everything, be creative and change it up. In that respect it almost plays like a fighting game

Finally got around to trying Klonoa on the Wii. It's an absolutely lovely little platformer! The story is snore inducingly childish and the voice-work is no better but that doesn't matter thanks to the awesome gameplay. The fact it's on the rails with branching paths makes it feel really unique, as does the jumping mechanic. It'd actually make on hell of a 3DS game..
I got this game myself (I even have the original PS1 game) and its such a good little game though I like the PS2 sequel better. And I agree this would make a great 3DS title.Rayne wrote:Finally got around to trying Klonoa on the Wii. It's an absolutely lovely little platformer!
