Worst RTS ever.
on April 10, 2009
Posted by: Derek14790
from TX
When u think of the game TotalWar u think about a good RTS made by a skilled team of programers. Then u hear that Stormrise is made by the same people and u think it'll b a great RTS. Think again. Stormrise is the worst RTS I have ever played. The pathfind (the path units take to get from point A to point B) is terrible. Units stick to any thing then stop or they run back to the last point they were at. vary hard to control units. When u ask your rifemen to attack a target they run as close as they can THEN attack. Which makes ranged units pointless. It get a 2 for challenge because the bad AI and conrtols make it harder. Long story short the controls will be harded then the AI so save your money.
What's great about it: Some of the ideas.
What's not so great: Most every thing else.

Not a GTA clone
on February 22, 2009
Posted by: Derek14790

Many people say that SR2 is a GTA ripoff. Well it's not. Un like GTA4 where it trys to be as real as possible. As SR2 is all about having fun. The graphics aren't half bad and after a while u stop careing. The main thing is the gameplay. It's alot of fun. As u play u take territory that give u money so no need to conserve ammo. The story is vary funny the only thing i didn't like about the game were the minigames. They were fun but when your in the good part of the story then they say that u need more "respect". Overall SR2 is a great game thats worth your time.
What's great about it: alot of fun, funny story
What's not so great: story is broken up by minigames

Ace Combat 6 rip off
on February 16, 2009
Posted by: Derek14790
from TX
I'm a big fan of flight games like Hawx. But it seems to much like Ace combat 6. Story seems the same I even found a few lines that were the same "we'er busy dancing up here". They have this HUDless mode that lets u turn on a dine and yes it is fun but some times the camara keeps u looking one way so u can't see your target. also there is a minor delay when flying in the normal 3rd person mode. It's not bad but can make you sea sick. If your a flight fan like me go buy Ace Combat 6.
What's great about it: Fun for a bit
What's not so great: Voice acting, Story, Looks.

another sellout

OK so i know that GH was the first music game out but it was made by Harmonix. Then they sold GH to Activision. Activision pumps out the same game with new theme but it's the same game nothing new. Well they'ev slaped Metallica title on. Now every kid who thinks thier cool will pay for a bad game. If u like Metallica then DL thier songs in Rockband. If u buy this game then your showing that it's ok for Activision to make bad game after bad game. They failed and worldtour, they failed and Areosmith and now thier failing Metallica.
What's great about it: good music
What's not so great: made by Activision. sellout

When i frist got Gears i loved it. Fun single player, the new mode Horde kicked butt. But after 10 hours or so it started to get boring. The characters are slow and lumbering. Any mulitplayer besides Hord becomes a camp fest. I never once found a room where people were having fun. Single player looks great open areas, beautiful locations and epic battles keeps you playing. But when your playing the game it's just the same thing. you have about 8 weapons to pick from and there few and vary far between. Gears is one of those games you pretend to like and enjoy but in realty it's vary boring.
What's great about it: Looks, scale of single player
What's not so great: vs on-line. VARY repetitive gameplay

Get what u pay for.

Ok first off this game is not a ripoff. Every time i talk about WOW someone conplanes about the monthly payments. When i'm at home i play games like everyone else. I'm always going to play some thing. Most games cost about 60$ and they will keep you playing for about 7 weeks or so. But i've been playing WOW for about a year and a half. I have spent less money playing wow then buying a new game every few months. the game is alot of fun as most reviews will tell you. so in the end when your thinking about the monthly payment remeber this review. thx.
What's great about it: fun, Alot of quests, easy to find other people 2 play with.
What's not so great: not many.

Best RPG 4 the 360.
on December 8, 2007
Posted by: Derek14790

I have played many RPGs and this one of the best. Just making your guy can take any where from 30 seconds to 30 mins. In a good way. The game play is vary open and there are vary few limits. You can play for days and not even touch the main quest. The world is open and full of FUN things to do. The grafics are nice and the music complaments the area your in. Now if you have Xbox Live you might not like this so much. Why? because there is no muiltplayer. And i find it hard to play when people are sending me invites to other games.
What's great about it: Long, Open, Fun, and good replay value
What's not so great: takes some time to get in to. Minor gliches

what are the length and width of the 360?

H=9cm, W=32cm, not with hard drive. if your trying to fit it in a small place don't do it. it will heat up much faster.
