Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PS3 Digital Download Review

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a fast pacing action hack n slash game, developed by Platinum Games, and published by Konami. It is available on PS3, and X360. The story takes place, after the event of MGS 4: Guns of the patriots, the cyborg ninja Raiden has the mission to stop Desperado Enterprises from destabilize peaceful nations and preserve conflict, which allowing them to reap the financial rewards and technological advancements of the war economy.

This game has 8 missions in story campaign, which took me to complete the game in between 1 and 2 days.

It also has tutorial mode to teach you how to play the game, before you are ready to play story mode.

You are playing as Raiden, which you have to fight with the enemies, and carry on moving to waypoint area.

The gameplay is pretty simple, you just go slice the hell out of the bad guys with sword by pressing the attack button, but you can make mulitiples of combos up to over 100 hits. You can use blade mode to slice the enemy in different directions with right stick or pressing with attack button. You can parry the enemy's attack to deflect away from getting hit by bad guys. You can press run button to perform ninja run to dodge obstacles. You can also use stealth combat to assassinate enemy by sneaking up to them, without getting caught by enemies nearby. You may also use unique weapons, such as bloodlust, dystopia, and L'Etranger, which is quite good for combos moves, and heavy attacks. The subweapons, such as rocket launcher, grenades are quite handy for combat gameplay. You may also go on items menu to select items, such as medkit to restore health, battery pack to restore fuel cell which can be useful in the gameplay. The upgrade options, can be showned after you complete one mission, helps you to improve character's skills, health, weapons, and cells to have better gameplay experience. I say the gameplay is truely plays outstanding with fantastic gameplay mechanics, excellent weapons choices, and superb level stages.  

The graphics are quite great with well made animation, good character's models, superb visuals, and awesome backgrounds and textures, which makes the game look polished and detailed are the best graphics environment so far.

The music and sounds has really kick ass industrial rock, and techno soundtrack. The sound effects are great for sound atmosphere, background effects, and magnificent voice cast for characters.

The special features comes with VR missions, unlockable collections, and DLC pack are great choices for this game.

Advantages

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams PS3 Digital Download Review

If you may not know what Giana Sisters is about, you should see the history down below, before reviewing this game.

History of Giana Sisters

Back in 1987, Rainbow Arts brought their classic 2D platformer called The Great Giana Sisters, which is clone version of Super Mario Bros, on Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST. It receives positive reviews from critics, calling it amazing platform game with unique levels, addicting gameplay, and superb soundtrack.

In year 2009, Spellbound Interactive brought the sequel called Giana Sisters DS which also has positive review as well, but they say it's just not good as the original game, but this game has slightly colorful graphics, and decent gameplay for levels and controls. It is also available on iOS and Android devices as well, which is pretty good port version from DS counterpart.

Then finally Black Forest Games brought the another sequel called Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams for PS3, X360, Wii U, and PC. It receives mixed to positive reviews by critics which they say it may be just not good as the original game, while they prised for graphics and music is the high point of this game. So I'm ready to review this game right now.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams PS3 Digital Download Review

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is the 2D platformer game which published and developed by Black Forest Games. This game is different from the original game which this game conteins new gameplay mechanics, graphics visuals, modern 2D levels, and some new characters ability. The story starts with 2 sisters playing together in the bedroom, before Maria gets kidnapped by giant dragon and taken her to dream world, while Giana attempting to jump on the portal to rescue her. This game has 23 levels for single player, including time attack mode, and hardcore mode. The gameplay is kinda mixed bag. Your character has abilities to change her form between cute and punk. The cute version performs twirling jump, and the punk version uses fire attack from different direction. The controls are pretty passable for the characters movement which sometimes it can be very clunky for abilities attack, which I don't like the ideas of fire attack compared to older ones. The levels, and the enemies can be changed in different ways, depending what characters forms you change into. The each of the levels has so many traps which it can kill you in one hit death, and it has confusing stage design, if you don't know where to go, which makes the levels so frustrating and quite bit unfair. You only get one damage hit, unless you grab pink crystal which shield your character from getting damage by enemies. You can collect crystals in each stages, including find the secrets as well. The boss fights are quite mediocre, which is very difficult to kill the boss.

The graphics are pretty fair and square for character's design, visuals, animation, and some backgrounds and texture are not that bad, but it seems quite outdated and look average on the game.

The music and sounds are quite decent. It has nice cutesy tune, but I prefer awesome punk metal music which fits the game very well. Sound effects are quite good for sound background and atmosphere. I say the voice acting for characters are pretty sounds annoying as hell with silly cartoon kids voice like.

The special features comes with unlockable gallery, if you found huge ass diamonds which can be found in the levels and It has 2 Unlockable modes, which Isn't quite enough for features in the game. 

Advantages

Ok'ay Graphics.

Awesome Music.

Decent Sound effects.

Unlockable stuff.

Disadvantages

Clunky Controls.

Unfair Levels.

Annoying Voice.

Meh Boss fights. 

Final Verdict

Here is my bottom line.

Gameplay 5.7/10 - Clunky controls and Unfair Levels is quite mediocre.

Graphics 6/10 - Graphics are not that bad for character's designs, visuals, animation, and backgrounds and textures, but seems too outdated and look average.

Music and Sounds 7/10 - It has awesome music and decent sound effects, except the stupid voice for characters.

Special Features 5/10 - Only has gallery and modes to unlock is not even enough. 

Overall 5.9/10 - I say it's not terrible game, but it's just not good as the older Giana Sisters games. I finding the game quite frustrating with levels, bosses and even the style of gameplay. Too be fair, I say the game did a decent job for graphics and music are sounds really awesome. I like Giana Sisters as the characters are just good as the Mario Bros. I say it's better to try the demo version out, before you decided to buy it or skip it. I like the original game on Amiga and so with the sequel on Android, and what can I say about this game, I say it's an ok'ay game on PS3.

Far Cry 3 PS3 Digital Download Review

Far Cry 3 is the Open World FPS game which published and developed by Ubisoft and it is on PS3, X360 and PC. 

This story is not direct sequel to first two which is quite different from the previous game. The story is about Jason Brody has the mission to save his friends who are been captured by Vaas Montenegro and the group of Pirates have taken them to the Island in Bangkok, Thailand.

I say the story is quite decent with great plot, character's development, and some suspenseful cutscene what makes this game sounds cool. Vaas Montenegro concidered to be best villains in the game because he has great dialogue, and being most threaten guy that loves torturing and killing people for fun is one hell of the villain.  

This game has Single Player Campaign, Co-op, and Online Muiltiplayer which also requires to use Uplay services to play muiltiplayer battles.

The gameplay is quite impressive with big open world levels that you can go explore any place that you want to go. You can choose levels and places that been showed on the map menu, such as missions, mini games, searching loots, going to weapon shop, activating radio tower and plenty more of them to select from.

The controls in the game which plays decently well with character's movements and camera look. The weapons are quite good with pistols, shotgun, machine guns and bows which is good for shooting range and precised shot, and the bombs are good for damaging enemies health, but some of the weapons are quite slow to reload which took 8 secs to reload the gun. You can upgrade the character's skills to give the characters more techniques moves and improving characters performance which is useful in the game. You can craft your own items which you have collected from animal's skin and plants to create tubes, wallets and bags to hold. You can drive your own vehicles to drive through the whole levels which is good for travelling, during the gameplay, but you can use fast travel to take you the right level nearby which been showed on the map menu as well. If you on low health, you can revive yourself without any health pack, but It's quite slow to took 5 secs to revive your health unless you have to have medkit is quicker way to use.  I say the gameplay is quite fun to play and It's keeps you more going.

The graphics are look amazing with nice lighting, good visuals effects, great character's design, and good backgrounds and textures are quite well detailed in the game which is far I'm impressed with.

The music and sounds are pretty decent. The composer Brian Tyler did a very good job for original music score, except the licensed song which I don't like listening shitty modern pop and dubstep crap that everyone listens to. The sound effects is quite sounds good for sound backgrounds and some atmosphere effects. The voice acting sounds fantastic for every characters, especially Michael Mando did a perfect voice job for Vaas Montenegro with great voice performance.

The special features comes with DLC pack, Side missions, and map editor to create maps which is quite cool to have it on this game.

Advantages

Decent Gameplay

Amazing Graphics

Very good original Music score, sound effects, and voice acting.

Impressive Story and Characters

Disadvantages

Crappy license music

Some mission are quite hard.  

Slow health reviving and gun reloading for some weapons.

Final Verdict

Here is my overall.

Gameplay 7.5/10 - Good character's movement, great combat weapons and skills, and decent open world mission.

Graphics 8.5/10 - Amazing graphics for lighting, visuals, animation and character's design.

Music and Sound 7.5/10 - Good original music score, great sound effect and fantastic voice cast for characters.

Special Feature 7.8/10 - DLC pack, side mission, and map editor.

Overall 7.9/10 - Far Cry 3 is the good FPS game that Ubisoft gives the great effort for this game.

It has superb action, amazing characters, and great storyplot to entertain all the FPS fans. 

I say you should buy this game for PS3, X360 and PC.

So lets get other 7 games to be top on the list done, shall we.
This is Top 14 Nintendo Wii Games Part 2 here.


7 - No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

I love the first game which has brilliant story, amazing characters and fantastic gameplay which is quite entertaining to play, and then the sequel came out on the Wii which is far better than I expected.
It brought back the blood content for UK version of this game which I believe that Rising Star Games had learned a mistake for removing blood content on UK version of original game, but lets get back to this game now.
This game features 2 new playable characters, 15 bosses, 4 katana beam, mini-games, deathmatch mode and it allows to play with Wii classic controller as well. I say this story in the game are really creative and well written with great dialogue and interesting plot. The characters in the game are very funny with great sense of humour and has laughable jokes what makes the game look entertaining to watch. The cel-shaded graphics in the game are very comical and anime style with excellent designs and animation.  The gameplay plays kick ass with excellent combat, great QTE techniques and well challenged levels which is awesome, when playing with Wii remote and nunchunk or Wii classic controller. This game is worth to play it and I can guarantee you to enjoy the fast paced hack n slash games like this.



6 - Sonic Colors

  



















I had very hard time to enjoy the new Sonic games, since Sonic 06 and Unleashed is just terrible, and now I have a true best Sonic games on Wii is Sonic Colors. SEGA have put their good presentation to make the game much playable than it before. This game offers the most improved gameplay with better controls, character's ability to use the Wisps power-ups, much reliable level's design, and more fast paced action that what Sonic game is mean't to be epic. The levels are very unique and much easier to complete. The boss fights are pretty exciting and fun. The Wisps power ups is very useful and much precised. I say the graphics are very colorful and detailed which is so much better than the previous Sonic games. I did enjoy the muiltiplayer modes and bonus stage to collect 7 chao emeralds to become Super Sonic is my favourite part of the game.
If you're huge fan of Sonic series, you should pick this game up which is highly recommended for you to play.
  

5 - Metroid Prime 3 Corruption

I love playing each Metroid games on every Nintendo consoles. I do enjoy the Metroid Prime 1 and 2: Echoes on Gamecube and here is the Metroid Prime 3 Corruption which is the best FPS game on Wii. It has fantastic cutscenes, amazing story and the main character Samus Aran is the badass female character that kicks all the aliens asses. This game has massive open world to explore, collecting upgradable weapons and suits, darker levels with puzzles solving, and epic boss fights is fun to play. I love how the controls work with Wii remote and nunchunk which is very easy to use. I say weapons and power ups are pretty well done on this game. I love the music score with Sci-Fi feel and big atmosphere. This game is must play on Wii and it is also available on Metroid Prime: Trilogy, along with Metroid Prime 1 and 2: Echoes which is part of the collection. If you like Sci-Fi games, try this game.



4 - New Super Mario Bros

I've been waiting ages to get this game for 3 years ago, so I'm glad my sister got this game and I've played it for days. New Super Mario Bros Wii is the 2D platform game and it's the follow up to original DS game.
It's plays just good as the old classic SMB games on NES. You're playing as Mario and his friends heading to rescue Princess Peach from the all time villain Bowser just always did it everytime in the whole series, yeah, he loves kidnapping poor Princess.
This game has 4 players co-op, 80 brand new levels and some new power-ups has been introduced for this game, such as ice flower, penguin suit and propeller suit which is quite awesome.
It's so much fun to run around the levels, jumping on goombas, kicking and throwing koopa shells, riding on yoshis, go into the warp pipe, collecting coins, using power-ups, and finding secrets what makes SMB games look awesome as ever. Ain't this game is so damn expensive, even the game already came out since 4 years ago. So save your money and buy this awesome game from the gaming store.



3 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
   

I love the Link to the Past on SNES, and Ocrena of Time for N64 are the best Zelda games out there, and then I have this game on Wii.
It's proberly the one of the best Wii lunch titles game that already came out in 2006. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the amazing RPG adventures with brilliant story, memorable characters, fantastic gameplay with open world exploring and quest, great puzzle solving, and has the most epic boss levels in the game. I like how Link turn into the werewolf is pretty damn badass and I also like Midna which is quite better than the annoying fairy bitch named Navi from Ocrena of Time, ohh god I hate fairies. It also available for Gamecube as well which is proberly the last GC games, before the release of Wii. So pick this game up and enjoy the most epic adventure games on Wii or get GC version instead, if you wish like to get it.



2 - Super Mario Galaxy Series

   

As you know Super Mario 64 is my favourites Mario game of all time, and I also enjoy Super Mario Sunshine on GC, and then Super Mario Galaxy Series just blows my mind, wow that is such an incredible game here. Super Mario Galaxy Series are the highly acclaimed 3D platform game that Nintendo had offer to all fans with superb looking game. It's the Mario game flying in outer space with incredible levels with gravity effects, awesome power-ups like rock, bee, balloon, spring, and fire abillites to use, It's fun to explore the space world in any levels, great boss levels, collecting star bits, and collecting 120 stars to play as Luigi what makes the game look creative and fun to play. If you a huge fan of platform games, this is must buy game for Nintendo Wii.



1 - Super Smash Bros Brawl

Hell yeah, this is got to be biggest fighting game masterpiece ever made that defines the console. Super Smash Bros Brawl is the fun packed 2D fighting game featuring all of Nintendo cast like Mario, Link, Samus Aran, Meta Knight, Wario, Kirby, Marth, Captain Falcon, Fox Mccloud, and two of the guest third party characters like Sonic the Hedgehog from his franchise, and Solid Snake from Metal Gear Series are welcome as the fighting roster.
