EDIT: Old reviews here.
EDIT2: Spelling errors and new "bad" description
If you remember I stopped doing them because I joined a website where the admin said not to put the reviews anywhere else. Well it turns out the admin got lazy and after submitting a bunch of a crap I get a message on the website saying he's bored of it now. Great. So I'll just post them here again. I haven't done that many reviews because of my Oblivion playing so here's one for Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.
[center]The Rating System:

Looks -- How does the game look? How does it sound?
Gameplay -- Is the game any fun? Is it easy to play?
Value -- Estimated amount of time you could be playing the game.
These are all done on a scale of 10. Here's a little chart of what is what:
0-4 Sucks. Either a badly made game, or a joke the developers made.
5-7 Decent. It's a passable game, nothing new, nothing great, but nothing that bad either.
8-9 Great. A must check out, has some interesting or well done features.
10 Perfection. It's, well, perfect.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence


Players: 1 (Online)
Rated: Mature - Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language, Sexual Themes

MGS3: Subsistence is a great game. If your a fan of MGS and was waiting for it to be released, it's what you wanted go buy it. If you have MGS3 and not sure if you should buy it or not, buy it. There many reasons to buy or re-buy this version of the game. It brings new grounds of "extra content" by adding another disc worth of it.

So let's start out with the original game itself. It's awesome, the story is great and not confusing unlike Metal Gear Solid 2. The gameplay is fun and different outcomes will happen each time you play the game. The new features of MGS3 was the survival curing and camouflage. I said I would talk about the original game but everyone already knows about it. To cut things short, camouflage is fun, curing yourself adds a new experience to gameplay but isn't always that great to do during some boss fights.

Speaking of which the bosses are cool. I only had a problem with two bosses those being The Pain and Ocelot, they weren't that fun. They were actually sort of boring. The other four were great and I love playing through them in the new duel mode added into the 2nd disc of Subsistence.

So let's talk about that. Along with Duel mode is Online Mode, Secret Theater Mode, Snake vs Ape 2, and both Metal Gear 1 from the NES and Metal Gear 2 first time in america from the SNES. If you don't have online, doesn't really matter. To be honest the online is new but the MGS elements added into Multiplayer doesn't work out like you would hope for it to. There's a lot of mindless shooting and hitting people in the face. But anyway. Duel mode allows you to fight any of the boss fights again easily. Along with some other fights like facing 8 Ocelots, The Motorcycle sequence, etc. It's fun if you loved the boss fights and wished you could play them all again easily.

The secret theater is worth the price tag alone. The parodies of the game are hilarious yet fitting in every way. I only found a few of them to be a little bit of a bore but there's around 30 of them so that's nothing to hold it down. Snake vs Ape is also back, I never was a fan of it but I found it fun none the less. If you liked it before you'll love it now. As for Metal Gear 1 and 2 they have aged a little bit. I've only started to play Metal Gear 1 and I really have no clue what i'm doing. You'll need a guide in order to get past it unless you're really good at figuring some of these things out. But don't expect any cool tricks like grabbing enemies or anything like that.

As a closing paragraph I'll say the faults of the game. You still can't move and shoot in first person which is needed in some action sequences but if added in it could change the whole mood of the game. There are still long cutscenes but you play more so then you did in MGS2 and the environments are bigger so the level design isn't such a bore now. Other than that the game is very short and in order to have some REAL fun with the game you'll have to take an hour of figuring out all the moves of CQC and other things.

But still you should buy this game even if you're new to the series.

How it stacks up:
Looks -- 10 -- The best visuals of the Ps2. And all the voice actors are fantastic!
Gameplay -- 8 -- There are still some things that are needed in the series. And the new cure and camouflage brings up more menu searching then wanted. But stealth is better than ever
Value -- Above Average -- The online is nice if you have voice chat. All the new features are great and replaying through the game is a lot easier with the new camera angle added.[/center]

Ocelot was a pain in the ass, while The Pain was just flat out stupid. I thought The Fear was misinterpreted as a difficult boss, but when I fought him, all he was doing was jumping between the same two branches. AK-47 fun in that situation.

Overall, I agree with your rating system. The game kicks ass.

Keep 'em comin Golden, your doin great

I replayed this game over the weekend. Before I said it wasn't that great (On my gamespot account) but I decided to review it again.

[center]God of War


Players: 1
Rated: Mature - Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Sexual Themes, Nudity.

God of War is one of the most brutal games ever. You can tell by the box art alone of the blood covered over the intimidating sharp blades that the main character Kratos holds, that this game is going to be awesome.

The game sets you off as the character Kratos. In the first cut scene you can see that he ends up running into some trouble (apparently) since you see him attempting suicide by launching himself off a cliff. But before he hits the ground you're brought back to the past as "2 Weeks Earlier" appears on the screen. You start off on a ship in the Ocean when it's under attack, and from there a lot of crazy stuff happens.

God of Wars has been known for two things. One, how brutal and nasty it is, which I'll get to. And two, the simple yet fun battle system. There are basically two battle elements: The basic "hack n slash" (Though calling it that would be offensive, it's just easier) formula that you get when attacking, and the numerous mini games for special situations. The basic combat is very friendly, you can string out around 10 different types of combos when you start the game, and when you get farther and farther you can get a lot more possibilities. The other element is the mini games, which are fun and frustrating at the same time depending on the situation. For instance, at times a little "Circle" button will appear over an enemy’s head, so if you're attacking a Cyclops and that buttons appears you'll start a 3 button combo and if you press them all at the right time then a cool death animation is shown on the screen.

There are other variations of that, such as when ripping a Medusa head you'll have to rotate the control stick in a certain way, or with minatours you have to mash the "Circle" button as much as you can. These can be fun and annoying as said before. There's a boss fight later on in the game which can get you pretty pissed off (One of the holes in my wall belong to that fight) it's when you don't really want to do a little mini game since your life and furniture are in your hands. But for the most part it's good fun.

God of War uses an upgrading system similar to the first Devil May Cry. You collect red orbs from fallen enemies and if you gain enough you can upgrade your weapons or magics. I guess I should talk about magic, but that would only make sense with the story involved. The story of God of War takes place in Ancient Greece (If you couldn't tell from the references to minatours, medusas, and gods). You play Kratos and he's having some past problems. Something obviously pissed him off that made him so angry and you basically find out what that is near the end of the game. At first you're sort of disturbed by how violent Kratos is, he doesn't take any prisoners, and when he could help innocents, he doesn't. After the beginning tutorial ship level the plot unfolds. Athena talks to Kratos through a statue saying that Athens is under attack by the God of War Ares. Since gods are not allowed to attack on there brethren directly Kratos is sent to kill Ares, the God of War.

Obviously Kratos and Ares have some history (You can tell from the title) and the past that haunts Kratos. The good news is when you find out the past you REALLY want to kill the god of war, the bad news is you literally only find out what happened 30-40 minutes before the game ends. Depending how long you take. So if you're really interested buy the game (It's around $20 dollars now).

Back to the magic and ending of this long review: Magic is as much needed as everything else is. You receive magic from numerous gods during your quest. You get signature moves from Gods such as Zeus's Lightning and you also get some other cool things like the Medusa's Gaze which freezes enemies to stone. Every one of these items are needed, there are no fillers. Though you might not use some items all that much, they never seem useless, just "not your style".

The only downside to God of War is that it'll scare most parents away with the box art, and it's rather short. I beat it the first time through in 6 hours and now if I try hard enough I can take 4 hours, though it doesn't really seem that short. The game doesn't seem like you'll want to play it over and over again the first time through. But you let it sit around for a month or two you'll eventually get an urge to play it again. There are also a lot of bonus features like the making of god of war which is cool, like deleted characters, Deleted Levels, Art Concept, Making of Kratos, and other things. It also unlocks God Mode which is basically a "Very Hard" more which you can try to tackle. If you beat it, it unlocks more special features but there's only a few, and it doesn't seem worth it.

So basically since reviewing this game now it's defiantly worth $20 dollars since it's so short. And if your parents let you buy it, go on ahead. It's defiantly worth it, and you'll need to since God of War II is coming out 2007.

How it stacks up:
Looks -- 10 -- I'm being easy on it, there are some repeated animations which get dull, but... they're so.... cool...
Gameplay -- 9 -- It can seem button mashy and times, and the mini games do get annoying at times. But other then that it's perfectly chisled.
Value -- Decent -- The unlockable things only last so long. And you can't even use the cool weapons you get at the end of the game.[/center]

I think you are being very unfair about the graphics area. The graphics are not that great compared to some of the games on pc. Heck, even halo 2 has better graphics. Besides that, nice review.

I hardly consider the PC capable of any gaming. The PC was made for people to say "DUDE THOSE TEXTURES AND RESOLUTION IS SO BAD COMPARED TO MY DYNAMTIC LIGHTING AND FPS THAT I CAN RUN ON MY LEET PC!!!!"
DUh the pc has better graphics, I'm comparing the graphics to other games out on the market, and I already said that I was sort of being unfair with god of war, but the Metal Gear Solid one defently deserves it. I don't care about PC gaming it's irrlevant to any of my ratings and I doubt i'll review a PC game anyway.

(For future refrence )

ADDITION:
Since i'll be too lazy to check the 2nd page when this eventually gets there I'm doing this tiny bump. But wait, there's news!

I got HItman 2 today in the mail... if it would ONLY WORK then maybe I could play it. But that's probably the next review unless I have a sudden urge to play oblivion for the next 4 days straight.

I hope you noticed my quote meaning the god of war one where you said it has stunning graphics.

[center]Hitman 2: Silent Assassin


Players: 1
Rated: Mature - Blood, Strong Sexual Content, Violence.

Hitman 2 is an old game but I bought it a few days ago after realizing that there's probably more levels then the two demos I downloaded. I have to say that Hitman 2 is 100% awesome and disappointing at the same time. You'll see why later on in this chunk of text.

Gameplay wise Hitman 2 gives you variety. It's not a stealth game, and it's not an action game. It's a hybrid, and I mean a true hybrid. Some "hybrids" are actually stealth games that try to keep you going stealth all the time, and if you have to, get in a 10 second gun fight. That's not the case with hitman. You get a wide array of weapons ranging from scapels, axes, swords, and pistols, to M60s, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and other large and in charge guns. So it's quiet obvious that the game doesn't mind which road you go on, but going stealth is normally a lot cooler and satisfying.

There are a lot of different levels, I haven't beaten the game yet (There's a dumb glitch that makes your sniper rifles no longer work, so I can't complete the mission) but I've seen my share of variety. You'll go from Hospitals from foreign countries, to the streets of russia, and a building that's owned by a lead hacker. Most of the levels are fun and this is the disappointing part of the game. In the two demos I had, you were in an open place. It was easy to get a disguise (Taking someone's clothes) and walking in carrying out your mission. However most of the missions you're in some tightly kept government base so it's impossible to do anything. And even if you do take someone's clothes they SOMEHOW figure out you're a hitman and try to kill you.

So you don't get to do stealth as much as most people want to. But that's ok because run and gunning is also in the game. They even have a first person view with close up gun models, reload animations, and other things. It's fun for gunning down people but not for sneaking around.

Lastly the graphics, for a 2001 game they're pretty good. All the animations look nice, the ragdoll physics are in there, they're sort of extreme but it's still funny to see an enemy do a backflip from a shot to the face. The only downside to this game is how you can rarely do stealth since it's so hard to do it all the way, and how the AI magically knows certain things. Also a lot of missions leave you in the dark, and you have to figure out what the hell you're suppose to do. Which is annoying. I would suggest the game to anyone now though, it's only 5 dollars, or two dollars if your lucky.

How it stacks up:
Looks -- 6 -- It's outdated, but still looks alright for the most part, a lot of the enviroments are really bland.
Gameplay -- 7 -- A good mix of both stealth and action, but you rarely see stealth, which is about half the game.
Value -- Decent -- It's fun to gun down enemies over and over for a little bit. But you'll eventually get bored.[/center]


ADDITION:
[center]Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires


Players: 1 or 2 Player Co-Op
Rated: Teen - Mild Language, Violence.

Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires is one of the many installments to the Dynasty Warriors frachise. If you add up all the mockups, sequels, and other types of dynasty warriors games (Including Tactics, and Samurai Warriors) there's around 12 of them. And I can say confindentaly that this is the best one yet.

But that's not saying much seeing as how all the games were horrible. DW5: Empires goes with my stratgey at school, you do so badly that when you finally do something right your praised by all. Luckily some people (like myself) can look past that and see what the game really is. Which is just average.

This is a review of the Xbox360 version, so keep in mind there may be different things in the two different versions. So let's start there, from the moment you boot up the game you see Dynasty Warriors did it's version of shapping up the graphics. There's better lighting, animations are smoother, and little details are added like if your character has a cape or ponytail it will wave in the wind. But that's nothing new, we've had that in Xbox Original games for 5 years now. To say it in a good/bad way, it looks better, but it could've been a lot better. If you want a game that takes your Xbox360 to the max, this isn't it. The only thing midly impressive is how you can get around 20 guys on the screen with only a small chance of slowdown in frame rate.

As for the soundtrack... well... it's really bad. The voice actors are all pretty terrible, they're over exagerating all there lines, or just make them sound stale and dumb. The only thing saving DW5: Empires from this category is the guitar revs in the background. They're not that advanced but it's enough for you to turn up the volume on the Music and lower the speech of the many people talking.

As for new gameplay elements, there's a handful. And for a DW game that's a lot better then other things. The new stratgey component of the game is nice, and keeps you thinking, there's a lot of new stratgies, tactics, and other things that are all used and help to shape your empire. Which I should probably explain. In a short way, Empires is basically playing Risk, except in between attacking territories you have 20 minutes of cutting down guys with swords.

There's more depth to it than that, but that's an over few. As for when you're actually on the field, there's nothing new. You get new commands for your army instead of bodyguards from previous games. They're pretty basic "Attack" "Defend" "Help Me" "Whatever you want". They're all pretty straight forward and they actually work. When defending they'll actually defend, as goes with attacking and help me. Which is surprisng for a DW game. Whatever you want is rarely you used though since your allies end up getting themselves killed.

The newer part of DW5 (And better) is the edit mode. It's very different now, from the previous games minimal 4 different outfits there's now 9 different full outfits, and 12 different ways for your hair and face appearance. Sadly your type of fighting is based off an already pre-made officer, but it's nothing too bad. There's three new voice actors for each type of character (Male or Female) and they've done a better job. Depending on how you dress your character the voice will act differently. If you choose calm and make him look commando army general type he'll talk in a cocky kind of way. If you choose a more peasent looking outfit he'll be more happy when he does something. And if you choose an outlaw type outfit he'll be hard and "badass".

To cut to the end quickly, DW5: Empires is a decent game, it's only 40 dollars and if you like achievements they're all really easy, just time consuming. The game is average, it might not be worth $40 dollars to some, but it was for me.

How it stacks up:
Looks -- 6 -- It looks like a good Xbox game, which is ok I guess, but disappointing. Background music is nice.
Gameplay -- 7 -- Stratgey is nice and saves the game, mindless slashing is easier to bare because of it.I
Value -- Addictive Worthy If you really like the game like myself you could be playing it for years to come, or at least till the next one comes out.[/center]

[center]Condemned: Criminal Origins


Players: 1
Rated: Mature - Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language.

I only rented Condemned so I didn't get the full expiernce. But like myself, I suggest renting it only. Condemned is about an FBI agent who's sent to investigate a murder of a woman in the bad side of town. However things go wrong, he (Ethan Thomas) loses his gun to a madman, and the madman uses it to kill two police officers, and Thomas is blamed. The rest of the game you are on a mission to find the real killer with the guidence of your handy lab person Rosa, and a mysterious man helping you out.

The combat of Condemned is very straight forward, and sort of bland. You only get two types of moves, Attack, and Block. That's all you do for +10 hours of the game's length. There's times where you end up getting a gun which has a whooping 5 bullets in it. You use those up (Most of the time missing) and then your back to beating people over the head with poles and sticks.

There's also a forensic part of the game, which is also very bland. It basically tells you what to do, and even then it can be annoying some times. So needless to say after 3 hours of the game you'll already know everything there is to know about it. Except the confusing level design. All the areas look identical, not in a "re-used textures" kind of way. But a "Huh, another room with werid writing and blood everywhere, where have I seen this before?". It's a very basic idea of what you'll find everywhere.

I myself got lost around 12 times in the 8-10 levels there are in the game. I actually never finished the game because on the last level I had no idea where I had to go, or where I had already been. Which is a common issue of Condemned, you'll end up finding things to drop in the middle of the room to notify you've been there, or shooting out all the lights, etc.

The game seems like there was really only one level made, and then they multiplied it for a 10 hour long game. There's only 3-6 different enemies, depending how you look at it. There's a Guy Crazy, Girl Crazy, Fast Crazy, Big Crazy, And Big and Phsycotically Strong Guy (You only see one of these). There are other variations like, a fireman, or a police officer. But it's the same idea.

There's also a lot of holes in the story. Like I said I didn't finish it, but I doubt in the last hour of the game you find out who the mysterious man is (He has a name, I jsut forgot it) and why he helps you, why exactly everyone is insane, why the police just become corrupt over night and refuse to believe your story, and how the city has a law enforcement squad when it seems like everything is torn down, and it's always night time. You think a guy who's a tiny bit afarid of the dark would, I don't know. Look for stuff at day time?

Overall Condemned is a very average game. It'd be a nice buy for around $20 dollars, but nothing over that. You can't even get achievements easily, so if you like achievements, look elseware.

How it stacks up:
Looks -- 7 -- Rosa is annoying for the most part, other voice actors are ok, and everything looks nice, it's just dark all the time, so you can't really tell.
Gameplay -- 5 -- See "Boring" and "Tedious"
Value -- Bad -- You might want to finish the game, but that's even a chore.[/center]

I thoght conednmed was an extremly scary game. Espeically if your looking for birds and etc...

Yea im almost done in the 2nd last chapter. I think the bad guy is that guy who keeps helping you yep im pretty sure. However, isnt serial killer x that guy in the start who takes your gun. It seems like he is the same guy that keeps helping you.

However, at the point where i am at everything fits in pretty well. The serial killer x killed that gym teacher lol... And this arm was hanging around the basketball hoop and he was like hiding in the locker all dead...


Perosnally i dont think story is that bad. Not really boring and tedious; however, one time through i think its pretty fun. But it is a mystery type of game and scary so if you dont like that type of game it is kinda like that...

But i agree with what you say, you never got scared once playing this game?



meh Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires wasnt that good. Well i liked it but it was very repetitive also... I think this game is more repetitive than condnemed; however, it is more fun than condnemed... I just like hack and slash type of games.

I loved that about dw empires, telling your officers wat to do was awesome and save my ass in some of the levels lol

[center]Hitman: Blood Money


Players: 1
Rated: Mature - Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Drugs.

The true sequel to Silent Assassin is here. For those of you who like Hitman and didn't play Hitman Contracts, good idea, that game sucked. Blood Money really focuses on what it did best in previous installments. In Silent Assassin the high points were when you could mingle with real people without worrying about getting shot at by armed guards running after you. You could infiltrate parties or hotels as a normal person and make certain things occur that allow you to get to your target and kill them. That's how it is in this game, all the way till the end. The last level you're basically forced to go mass killing with your upgraded guns. On that note:

There are a lot of new features in Hitman Blood Money. The most noteable is the upgrading Gun System. Instead of gaining up hundreds of guns that somehow manage to fit in all your pockets no matter what outfit you get into (Though you get an achievement if you collect all the weapons in the game). Now you only have five and three of them have to be pre-placed in the level and you have to pick up later. You get your trusty Silver Ballers, Shotgun, SMG, M4, and a Sniper Rifle. If you choose to take the SMG or Ballers they fit snugly in your pockets, the M4 and Shotgun are pre-placed in little black boxes that you can pick up later. And the sniper rifle is in a little briefcase that you start with at the beginning of the level. You start out getting basic things like silencer, more ammo, but soon you'll get things like Laser Sights, zoom, and bigger bullets to break through doors etc.

Another addition is the Noterity System, which is a breath of fresh air, but I wouldn't know. Unfortnately (Depending how you look at it) the system can be skipped over completely. On normal mode you can go on a mass killing, and leave hundreds of people to see the white of your eyes. And your noterity will only rise to 35%, there's some obvious flaws in the system, since a simple $100,000 lowers 40% of your noterity. That seems like a lot but seeing as how you get paid around $400,000 per mission, it's not. And you rarely get that high, it normally only gets to 15% in whcih it takes $50,000 to pay off. In theory if your noterity is high people will be more suspcious of you in the up coming level. There's only 12 but it can be a problem sometimes.

Another note worthy addition is the crowd system. It's pretty over hyped, it's suggested that the crowd will react, you will have to move through them, you can use them as shields etc. etc. blah blah that's not true. If you shoot a bullet straight into the head of someone during Marty Graw, the crowds runs a few feet ducking, and continues with their business. But that's not what so cool about it. What's cool is that you can get one hundred people on screen, fire a full clip from the M4 and not have a single drop in frame rate. That alone is awesome. There are only 3-4 levels that use the crowd on a large scale, but it's still nice to be there. It ensures that the frame rate is fantastic.

As well are the animations, Agent 47 has some new tricks, he now has Posion Needles and Sedating Needles, he also has his trusty fiber wire, a coin to distract enemies, and hand-to-hand combat which makes going through a level without any guns a lot more possible then before. Don't make it seem like getting Silent Assassin is any easier though. In my 20 hours of playing I've only achieved a single Silent Assassin rating by myself, on one of the earlier levels. The graphics in the game are really nice too, everything looks real, animations are realistic, it's all good and cool. And when you get shot as long as you wear that outfit the bulletholes stay in you. But there are upgrades like body armor and painkillers that resist bullets or help cure your health.

It's also good to know that a lot of the levels are in the United States, or places where people speak english, so you don't feel so isloated anymore on missions. It has a better mood to the game, and makes you feel like it's possible to complete the mission and not like it's impossible and you give up after a few tries.

Achievements why this game would be good for Hitman fans, you could easily get some of these. To name a few, make an "Accident" happen, which basically making a guy die from a falling light system, etc. Get five silent assassin ratings on Normal, five silent assassins on Hard, " " on Professional. You also get achievements for completing the first mission, beating the game on any difficulty, and for fully upgrading your guns. There are a lot of "Secret" achievements which are annoying since you don't know what you have to do to get them. But this game is real fun, and should make an addition for anyone who likes to go around hunting down people and killing them.

How it stacks up:
Looks -- 8 -- The rare voice acting is good, the graphics and crowd are great, there are some animation/texture glitches though
Gameplay -- 8 -- The shooting seems a wee slugish, the new save system is a nightmare, if you screw up a few seconds to finish the mission and you have a save a minute before, but you finish the mission. The game deletes the save, annoying as hell
Value -- Decent -- Playing through the game once or twice is all your get for PURE fun. However depending on your tastes you could go around killing people for months[/center]

lol i agree with the save part lol... that made saving a new level of difficulty lol i mean serioulsy wow....

totally agree with your rating expect value should be decent + lol...

i love the weapon upgrades. Game is extremly hard, how far are you in it. Im just playing through rookie right now and im still having a hard time lol...

one time a whore killed me lol hahah...

well rookie is hard but looking at it right now it seems like its going to take a me a pretty long time lol...

dude you know whats the hardest game level NFS MW....

actually your right


Value -- Decent -- Playing through the game once or twice is all your get for PURE fun. However depending on your tastes you could go around killing people for months

does seem fine lol... its like GTA, i love the open ended gameplayness. It really makes the game speical...

Not really, try to not press enter instead of period after each sentance. GTA is a lot more open, Hitman has that feel but there are only 3-4 ways to complete each mission a right way, an almost right way buy you screwed up, a stealth/action hybrid which basically shooting everyone but hiding bodies and changing clothes, and full out blasting. GTA is a lot larger and you can jack cars, so you can get into car chases and crazy gun fights, Hitman has some pretty plain gun fights, since they just overwhelm you and fire all at once.

And I finished the game on normal mode, and I have most of the achievements, I found out all the secrets, but it's not something people would ever guess.

Meh secrets aint hard. The only thing that looks tuff with that game in achievement wise is the finishing the game in the hardest level. What was it called I forget. Well that achievement seems pretty hard, up to normal seems pretty easy. You know if you get all achievement if you just beat it in normal once? Oh yea "Professional mode complete
Completed Professional difficulty" that achievement seems beastly... And the Silent assasins one seems even harder. Other than that Tier you get following through the mission and customised weapons arent hard.

Yea so pretty much the hard achievements are the Silent Assasins ( dont know how im going to complete that) and the completing the game in professional mode.

And about the GTA it still does have a more open ended feeling to it than other games. Personally this is my first hitman game, and I didnt know hitman played like this. But your right there is only 1 or 2 way of doing the mission the right way. And from what I heard in the professional mode you have pretty much kill the enemy boss without being seen like once...

And this game replay value is high just becuase you have to play missions over and over again to get achievements. And police has pretty stupid AI, in rookie level you can go outside and start shooting and all police man try to gang up on you, and you shoot them all down at once and for the whole level there is no enemy lol...

It's my opinion on the game, I've played it long enough to know what it is, you can't change that.. Yeah Hitman is open, but it's no where close to GTA's level. And the replay value is decent because once you get Silent Assassin there's no point playing it again, since it was pretty hard to do in the first place. And since there are only four ways to do each mission, the game will only last so long. And you haven't even beaten the game yet so you wouldn't really know. I've also gotten frustrated on how some missions just seem impossible to get Silent Assassin on (IE The last level, Opera, The Wedding One).

how bout i review ur reviews


gj man 10/10

?
The plot thickens.

Thanks for the "Rating"

Not you, but your reviews are good as detailed, your oppinions on games are great as GameSpot's, a bit.

I know I havent played the game long enough, and your right. I even said your replay value was correct, just saying it has more replay value than some other games like King Kong... And GTA I think had pretty low replay value, as you said it depends on your taste. Personally playing by yourself and killing the same old guys over and over isnt fun. Saint Rows is coming out real nice, love the whole online aspect of the game. They said you can pretty much have a online career mode, becuase your money and weapons and stuff like that stacks up online.

What online? Saint's Row doesn't have any, or it hasn't annouced any. And it'd still be the same "dumb" thing. GTA Is only as fun as people make of it. If your dull and boring and just shoot people till you die. That's stupid, of course it's boring. If you exploit the glitches in the game, or enviroments and end up doing some pretty weird/funny things, you'll have more fun with it. And GTA's storyline is longer then all the Hitmans (Hitmen?).

And if you don't like killing the same types of enemies over and over (Since you seem to not know what a car chase is, or a dogfight) then I'm guessing you don't like any first person shooter ever made, or any resident evil game, or any metal gear solid game, or any game that envoles a gun and bullets.

One thing I appreciate about GTA is that they take car driving seriously. In most racing games like Mario Kart, you can slam your car into walls, not even caring. In these kinds of games, there is no reason why acceleration needs a button.

However, in GTA, you REALLY have to be careful with your good cars. The reason why acceleration is a button is because crashing your car can destroy it. If only these so-called "next-gen" racers really put that into the game. Even the "realistic" Gran Turismo doesn't use it either.

Saint Rows did announce online... Lol nope, I like FPS its my favorite genre. GTA is 3rd person shooter XD lol haha... Well actually iv only played GTA once, and I didnt like it, maybe it was to much hype on it... Becuase after a few days of playing that game i returned it lol... Its probablly becuase I did some random stuff from the start, and the game just got boring...

And I like Resident Evil, like Condnemed, never played MGS. And never said I dont know what a car chase is or a dogfight, becase I do know what they are. Maybe there not in a GTA style but Full Auto is some what of a car chase, and blazing angle does have dogfight...

And the only thing I said was

GTA style of killing and stuff is very different from CoD or GRAW. Its more like hitman (hitmen...) style.


Meh well im circleing around, but my point is you made comments without reason espeically about me... becuase everything you said about what I do like or dont like you have no clue... I just said that when I first played GTA I didnt really get the hang of it... And Saint Rows has online. It supports up to 6v6 gang battles. and some other stuff like protect the pimp, free for all and 1 more. There was total of 4 stuff you can do online. Saint Rows is shaping out real good, its the best GTA wannabe it has everything you wanted in a GTA game...

Oh yea btw, I dont like playing games by myself XD... So that might of been one reason why GTA got boring for me fast, and I didnt really follow the storyline... And used cheat after the 3rd day of playing lol haha, and keep attacking the police station... So no duh from the way i played that the game got boring...

Well it still seems like a good game but was just stating my first impression on the game.

Link.


But if your "killing the same dumb enemies all the time" how could you?

I seriously hope your not saying it's not a third person shooter, and your way of backing it up is being immature and saying "LOL WHAT A JOKE" because that doesn't prove anything.

And *gasp* you can have a carchase AND a Dogfight in a SINGLE GAME!!! It's called San Andreas, try playing it sometime, and by playing it, I mean the storyline, and not just go around shooting people, that's stupid.

No it's not. What do you do in COD2 and GRAW that you don't in GTA? Graw you take cover, hide behind a wall, peak up and shoot. In GTA, you take cover (If your not a fool) peak up and *Gasp* shoot. There's no difference, except pretty graphics and rumble effects.

You said you don't like GTA because you kill "the same dumb enemies" the "same dumb way" and that's how it's like with all the games I posted. There's no difference.

Why would you like a game that's trying to copy what GTA does? Libery City Stories for the PSP has online. And it's just as good as Saint's Row will be (Medicore).

Then your one of the brain dead people who play GTA. And just do stupid stuff over and over again instead of trying something new and intresting, or FOLLOWING THE DAMN STORYLINE, and NOT CHEATING. It's amazing how the best feature and worst feature of GTA is the open endness, since people use it way to often making them hate it, and people who actually know how to play the game use it a lot and it's fun.


If you "returned it" then that's not a first impression, it's your only impression. Since you obviously won't be playing it again since you don't know how to play it.
