A while ago I caught a flu, so I rented several games, and haven’t gotten around to writing about all of them until now.
I won Rainbow Six Vegas (360, tactical FPS) I’d say it was about average length and was well polished with some memorable moments, the only thing I didn’t really like about it was its “to be continued†ending but you do do something that’s “ending worthy†before that comes up. it isn’t something like Halo 2’s ending.
After I won R6 Vegas is when I caught the flue, so I rented a couple more games.
First I got Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (360, tactical FPS):
It should’ve been called Rainbow Six Vegas 1.5.
I didn’t see anything that would make me think it’s a real sequel, the single player was extremely short, it lacked the polish and cool well-made casino locations of the original, and it just it seemed half assed (I even saw some enemies appear out of thin air)
I saw tons of recycled things, and heard recycled voice acting, recycled credits background.
And The ending boss battle was horribly clichéd and didn’t really fit with Rainbow Six IMO.
After I won that I rented Condemned 2 (360, horror FPS) there were too many guns so it wasn’t the same as the first one, it was still fun though being able to throw weapons was cool, And you had freer reign to do what you wanted during the forensics parts. (In the first one it was “do this, with that forensic toolâ€).
The story was pretty good and you finally find out who’s causing all the insanity, though why they’re doing it is still a mystery (set aside for Condemned 3 no doubt,
)
Then I rented Battlefield bad company (360, FPS) it had good voice acting and a pretty good story, I was disappointed I couldn’t destroy whole buildings (I guess I’ll have to wait for Red Faction 3 for that)
It gives me hope for mirror’s edge (another EA developed game).
Fear Effect (
) it’s kind of an action adventure stealth game (with controls like the resident evil games)
I only got about an hour into it before it kept freezing, it did it on my
and Play-Station, it’s realy annoying because the disk is absolutely perfect, it must’ve been burned wrong at the factory.
It sucks I got a good deal on it ($10) and now I need to find it again.
Currently I’m playing Gex (
) it’s a side scrolling platformer, starring a gecko that’s been sucked into the TV dimension and has to play through TV themed levels, this gives you a wide range of levels. One cool thing about it is since he’s a gecko he can climb on walls and ceilings. Also you get several power-ups: spit fire spit lightning, spit ice, jump higher, run faster, and invincible.
What are these icons for?
