Strange but interresting

Advantages: Original, first final fantasy of its kind
Disadvantages: n/a

Final fantasy 12 is deffinately a must play game. The storyline is original and impressive and the gameplay is really good. At first it was strange playing a final fantasy as an rpg like that but i think it worked. I still preffer seven to any other final fantasy but final fantasy 12 doesn't fall far behind. The graphics were wiked. Im still not the biggest fan of the leveling up system. The liscence grid was just not for me as a gamer. I still think ...
...seven and ten. But i did enjoy playing the game. The beginning can be a bit much but after about 20 hours in it starts to really get interresting. I cant say im the biggest fan of the hunts but they were good to have in order to collect special weapons and armours. It allowed you to escape from the main storyline for a little bit when things were getting a bit too much to take at once. ...

Kingdom Hearts II Review

Advantages: Good graphics, gameplay and timespan
Disadvantages: Slightly childish and not to everyone's taste

...the second games in the Kingdom Hearts (KH) Series and by far much better than the last one. The storyline is brilliant as you play as Sora and battle your way through different realms and defeat many different creatures to obtain your goal. The graphics have been masively enhanced in this second installment of KH and you can really tell. The cut scenes are much more detailed than actual gameplay but that is only to be expected. The game is a good ...
...length unlike they did with KH1 in which is was much too long. Although the game follows it's quite childish stereotype there is something quite sinister about the game which gives it that interesting egde that many games do not have. This game feels extremely realistic when you are playing it and you can really get caught up in it. Although this game is quite old i feel it is one of the best games that has been made for a long time. If you are looking ...

Retro Gaming At Its Most Playable

Advantages: Great multiplayer; Genuine fun
Disadvantages: Linear; Becomes stale towards end

...watching the cartoons on the Marvel characters - Spiderman, Fantastic 4, Ironman, Captain America, X-Men - so I was delighted to hear that they were all included in a game. Running on the X-Men Legends engine it is much, much more fun multiplayer than single player. The reason for this is because the levels get quite repetative after a while, but also because the AI of your allies is so poor. A PG that you can probably pick up for around £15 now, ...
...control of characters from the Marvel Universe (The Silver Surfer and Thing being my favourites) and battle a horde of enemies led by Dr Doom (the villain from the Fantastic 4 series). The very basic story is propelled along through cut-scenes after every level, although considering the high quality of rendering and animation they are for the most part disappointing. Most simply involve the heroes sitting round in a chamber discussing what their ...

the Third Age

Advantages: LOTR references and game areas
Disadvantages: Boring, repetitive, hard to complete

...recomend this game atall!!! Yes the graphics are quite good and the senery is mainly LOTR areas but not only does it not follow the LOTR charactors but it is repetitive and boring! The charactors are on a different quest from the LOTR ones but they still come to most of the same trouble! The "take turns" style of fighting is terrible and so boring.. its like Pokemon all over again!!! The previous LOTR playstation games were great but this one ...
...playing. Its really repetitive as the "orks " keep attacking you at the same points and you get bored of taking turns to get hit ( most of the time you miss a shot ) The game is one or 2 player, requires a memory card and is rated 12+ Personally i never got past the first level partly beceause it is boring and partly because i couldnt find some object that i needed to pass to the next level!!! The enemys Just seem to come out of nowhere and take ...

A Different Kind of RPG.

Advantages: Compelling story, Good battle system.
Disadvantages: Can get monotonous.

During the hunt for something new to play I came across this game. I had never even heard of the Persona games before but it looked good and I thought "Well what have I got to loose?". This game is unlike any RPG I have ever played before. Its a mix of normal RPGing (i.e. running around and fighting monsters) and a social simulation. The plot of the game is fairly simple, you must balance your social life (making friends through Social Links and ...
...running through the dungeons of another world trying to solve a murder mystery that has developed in your town and is linked with this "TV World". A simple yet compelling story. The graphics are not the best ever seen for the PS2. Cut scenes are presented in 2D anime animation. The main playable game is in 3D however it is reminiscent of early games for the console and not as sofisticated as later games. The environments you play through are fundamentally ...
