A couple mini-reviews--
Alone in the Dark Garbage. Story is bad, ending is downright abysmal. Graphics are meh. Controls for shit. Just general ass. Shame Atari was banking on this, guess that's the last we see from them. Guitar Hero Aerosmith Better than Guitar Hero 3, finally, a game I can do on Expert and not get my balls kicked in on the second tier. Achievements are 10x better, and the difficulty achievements stack, FINALLY. No need to trudge through each difficulty. The timing of buttons has been tweaked too, it's now more GH2 and Rock Band level. The notecharts are more better, but they suffer from too many HO/POs. It's like entire songs dedicated to not strumming. Shame they had to finally get things sorted out on a game centered around Aerosmith. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 Does some things right, then completely blows it. Story is awful (yes, even worse than FFTAs already was). Battles take forever, the AI seems to take its sweet time selecting moves. Lack of clan wars in exchange for some stupid auction mini-game is dumb. I would recommend the first one over this. This is just tedious, even for fans of the genre. Etrian Odyssey 2 Sequel to one of my sleeper hits of 2007. Plays just like the original, with additions and tweaks. You can now save in the middle of a dungeon (soft save). Just overall better. GOTY right up there with The World Ends With You. If you like loot, grinding, and getting your ass kicked, get it. |

The timing of buttons has been tweaked too, it's now more GH2 and Rock Band level.  So if GH3 is so much harder than 2 then why is it that I can barely five star one or two songs on expert on GH2 yet on GH3 I've 5 starred or gold starred about 3 quarters of them? I would take GH3 any day over 2. The note charts are more complex but the game's generally more forgiving. This post has been edited by Nonus Aequilibrium: Jul 1 2008, 08:46 AM |
