Burnout paradise on 360 is awsome if your a fan of burnout it has changed a little but id say for the better, They boast a open world enviroment and this is actually the first game i think iv played that is full open world from the start it lets you do anything you want whenever you want and never in any way rushes you to actually do anything its basicly drive and crash and do what you want. There is the races and all the other events hundred to play infact but if you just want to drive and smash its amazing if you wanna just do the races its amazing as well i highly recomend it
Sorry john but I have to disagree with you about burn out paradise.
it was bloody aweful IMO. It didnt fell like a burnout game at all.
To me burnout means selecting your race from a menu, selecting your car and go drive off really fast and hopefully not crash. bit even when you crashed it felt good just to watch.
What I dont want in burnout is the open world map so I end up having to boringly drive around to find the thing I want to do and find out its a stupid challenge type thing with a one on one race.
Burnout revenge is one of the best racing games I've played. it felt fast. the crashes were awesome and it just overall a lot of fun to play.
Although I will say this I was playing Burnout paradise in the shop so I couldent play it properly but I dont think I'll even think about betting it now.
Now on to something else...
KIMAHRI LIKES A NINTENDO GAME!! :shock:
Eternal Darkness for the gamecube.
I never though I'd see the day where I actually liked a nintendo game since I grew up with the amiga 500 but I have to admit that Eternal Darkness is pretty good and gets rather scary when you have no sanity left but some of the effects are more humorus than actualy scary (such as your head falling off and getting a the BSoD). over all its a pretty danm good game. the controles are fairly good (if the sanity effect doesnt kick in)
There are a couple of thing I dont like about it such as you end up walking around endlessly trying to find out what your suposed to do and when you do find something its completly the wrong thing you were supposed to do at the opposet end of the bloody map!
Another thing I dont like is some characters are a worth a pile of crap. Sure some of them are supposed to be average or mentally disturbed people but there are 2 people that are absolutly pathetic and pretty much are screwed if they are fighting more than 2 things at once.
I won't comment much on the graphic for 2 resons.
A. I really dont care alot for graphics unless theyare horribly messed up and bad
and
B. My TV makes them look really dodgey in some places (For example some of the cut scenes are pixelated for some reson)
The story is a bit confusing with its Cthulhu mythos and character swapping but when I finish it 3 times I think it'll all come together
So over all I'm gunna give Eternal darkness a solid 8 out of 10
and now here is something that not many of you are going to like.
Resident evil 4: Wii edition
I dont know if it was because I played Ikaruga (BUY IT!) before it, was playing burnout paradise earlier that day and it got me pissed off about it or my lecturer was being an overall DICKHEAD!
But resident evil 4 was kinda... bad and rather boring.
I found a couple of thing completly pointless and stupid like:
Standing completly still while a bunch of pesent run at you with an array of sharp objects
Jumping down a rather high bell tower and lanind squarly with out even injuring your self
Explosive tree's...
or some of the controls. Why the hell would I want to shake the wii more while pressing B to reload when I could just tap 2 buttons in less than a milisencond?
I found the first few moment of playing rather boring and uneventful even if I was getting attacked by people. the whole stand still and let them run after you thing annoyed me when the camera would just shoot up because the control stick controls the camera in aim modethus making me come out of aim mode run back a bit and try again alot slower.
Even if the game does get better later on it hasnt really impressed me yet (unlike Ikaruga and Rez which were amazing from the first level)
so a Very poor must try harder for RE4 atm but hey you never know...
Bonus 1
Apidya- Amiga 500
since I'm in a bit of a game reviewy mood from doing those three I though I'd do this as well
Apidya for the Amiga (500 and up I think) is a game I recently discovered in my game collection for my amiga and I never knew it exsisted untill earlier this month.
A classic Shmup and a pretty good one at that you play as a... bee. well some dodgey blue haired bloke that turns intoa bee to get revenge on some other bloke tho used his own bee sized bee's to sting the hero bee's girlfriend/wife and guess what the the last boss of the game is
A hornet
see story here:
http://avians.net/~hawthorn/apidya/apidyastory.html#1
great little game and uses a power up system similar to gradius and Project X and it probably in the same league as them in terms of difficulty
Only thing i dont like about it is when you doe your pretty much screwed and it a 1 life deal to get throug the whole game.
The music is great and the sprites are pretty well detailed especially for a 1992 game all of the enemies are recgnisable and resenble what they are supposed to be
and I'll finish on a hppy note
Edit: plod has kindely tolde me i have maney spalling mistakses and well i relly CBA to read throug hthis and correct theme so enjoy
