Innovative and ambitous but ultimately flawed

Advantages: Full of innovation, visually stunning, lots of character and detail, original
Disadvantages: Gamplay gets dull and repetitive after novelty wears off, little in the way of structure

...creator of classic god-sim Populous, Black and White has you play as a God ruling over a fantasy world of tribal peoples, vying for influence with other Gods for the their attention and worship, with the amount of people that believe in you affecting your sphere of influence and mana levels. The game has the look and feel of Populous about it, but the gameplay is considerably different to that of populous despite appearances. The game makes you you ...
...can alter the fact that Black and White is flawed gameplay-wise, making it good fun to play for a while but ultimately rather shallow despite all its innovations and high aspirations. Its a great game for younger players as it offers freedom of movement and constructive and creative gameplay, and is great fun for casual gamers too, but hardcore gamers are likely to be left looking for something with a little more structure after not too long. Summary: ...

Survival horror at it's very best - the definitive Resident Evil

Advantages: Great graphics, great gameplay, intriguing story
Disadvantages: None, really

Development of Resident Evil 2 began shortly after it became obvious that its predecessor was going to be a massive success. It was originally scheduled to be released in early 1997, but after reviewing an almost complete version of the game, Capcom decided they didn't like what they saw. Rather than rush out an inferior game like so many others would have done, they instead opted to scrap it, effectively starting again from scratch. Resi 2 subsequently ...
...Well, they needn't have been. Resident Evil 2 rocked. It rocked back in 1998, and it still rocks today. Much like James Cameron's Aliens, Resident Evil 2 took the basic premise of its predecessor, kept the stuff that worked, threw away the stuff that didn't, and chucked in bucketloads more action for good measure. Whereas Resident Evil was a slow-paced survival horror, relying as much on subtle tension as gunplay, its sequel is a balls-to-the wall ...

Review of Rayman 2 (PlayStation)

spyro is cool

Advantages: cool
Disadvantages: ?

...begin with our purple dragon, Spyro landing from his most recent adventure, and something is wrong with he, and the other dragons! At this time instead of frying maybe another bug to feast on all they can do is freeze someone with ice breath. Your job, as Spyro, is to capture many fireflies and get them to the other dragons to restore their fiery breaths. Oh and as you play this game you'll get more ways to trap and destroy the enemy, and you'll ...
