Video Game Reveiws (OGG's)

[VIscious]

Hello, I am going to reveiw a game once every week on this thread, to help people with their buying decisions, for free! Today, I am reveiwing a game that is very contreversial at the moment. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Well, look at what we have here! A semi-sequal to the best selling (and most violent) game of last year. Well, a lot of people don't care about this reveiw probobly, but I do. Is this game really worth perchasing for $50? In a word, yes and no. Lets go down the list, shall we?

Graphics: Ok, we have all admitted it at one point, but the graphics in GTA 3 werent that great. Thankfully, the graphics in Vice City are a big improvement. They still don't stand a chance against other games of this genre, especially The Getaway, but whats there is pretty good.

Rating in Graphics Department: 7

Story: The story here is pretty basic, but we werent really expecting anything big anyways. Whats there, is good. Tommy Vercetti just got out of jail after a big drug deal. Now, he wants to get back at the not a very nice persons that got him caught. Like I said, basic.

Rating for Story: 6

Sound: WOW. Much more persinality than episode 3. Tommy says much more than the un-named man in GTA 3, who said nothing. Tommy snips quips such as, "Nice bike," right before stealing the ride. He also says some other phrases, like, "I'm a physco, stay away from me dumb ass!" and, while doing some "work" (cough cough, oral sex.) he says, "You know Tommy Vercetti, you will." Once again, WOW.

Rating for Sound: 10

Gameplay: Ahh, the most important part. Everones played it, so I don't need to say a word.

I haven't played Vice City (yet). I think that you should put more about the actual gameplay in here, although this might be easier if you were to review lesser known games, that not as many people have played. Nevertheless, it was an ok review, if not particularly inspiring or needed.

I'd still have another go next week, though ;D.

ToeJam&Earl 3: X-Box

First of all, I have to say I would have never seen it coming. Out of no where, Sega brings back one of the most inspired platformers of the early 90's. Presonally, I love this game, but it might take you a bit of time to adjust to the old-school feel. No, its not Mario, and don't expect it to be. It doesnt have new cool features or all that. It's just fun. Lets get down to buisness.

Graphics: A big improvement over the last two, though thats not saying much since they were for the Sega Genesis. But none-the-less, they are grand. There are'nt any vast landscapes, like in a Mario or Sonic game, but the style of the graphics is marvelous. If you want an idea, picture it as Blinx the Cat, crossed with Mario Sunshine. There ya go. The Character models are great, and often times laugh-out-loud funny. If your playing as Earl, and you just sit there, not moving, you will see his pants, although you'd expect his girth to keep them on, slowly slide off, revealing Maximo stlyle heart boxers. Heart boxers=funny.

Graphics Rating: 10

Sound: The music is boring, but its the quips the characters make that are funny. While playing as Earl, I walked past a young girl, who shouted, "My mommy sais lard buckets should'nt eat sweets!" Thats funny.

Sound Rating: 8

Story: ToeJam and Earl live on the planet Funkotron, where the supreme funk rules all. One day, they, along with there (hot) freind, Latisha, are sent upon a quest to retreive the stolen albums of funk, and to destroy the most evil thing in the universe, "The Anti-Funk". It's actually pretty good for a platformer type game.

Story Rating: 9

Game Play: Remember the leap in technology between Super Mario World and Mario 64? Thats what it's like for ToeJam&Earl 3. If you were alive back then, and played the previous games, you remember the gameplay. Original then, not very special now. A bit has been added, if you are playing 2 player, and your teamate is dieing, just tap the black button while they are near to share your health. Also, it's twice the fun with two people.

Game Play Rating: 8

This is a great game. Period. Others will reject, but if your an older gamer, or a new gamer who wants to dive into the past, check it out. Trust me, this'll keep you playing till the next Mario game.

Final Rating: 8
