Video Games Review



Feel Free to send suggestions for games you want reviewed. I play a lot of games because I work at a video store and it is possible for me to rent them free.

Playstation

Resident Evil: Now this game is truly something special. Any fans of the 80's horror b-movie genre would throughly enjoy this game. Though the puzzles in this game are not extremely difficult, they do take some brain power to overcome. The enemies, what can I say? You can't go wrong with zombies, there is just no way!!!!! This is one of THE BEST games for the Playstation, or possibly in the world. Bravo Capcom....

Resident Evil 2: I couldn't think of a better sequel then this one yet. Its graphics, music, atmosphere and general concept are all improved in this hit game. Don't just play it, buy it. NOW!

Powerboat Racing: What a let down this rental was. A very basic water racing game. The boats all look the same except for differences in color. The gameplay and control are not very pleasing and the graphics, well, less then extrordinary. I could have lived my life without ever playing this game, but it has now cursed me with its very name. Don't even bother people.

Nintendo 64

Mario 64: This game is one of the better titles for the N64, and one of the first. Its puzzles are quite difficult at times and I don't think I would have ever beat it without the help of my trusty Mario 64 walkthrough book. The graphics are really quite amazing and the gameplay couldn't be better. I played this a long time before really truly beating it. Everyone should enjoy this game......

Waverace 64: Well well well, the first of its genre, a Jetski racing game. This game is quite impresive at first, unfortunatly, its replay value is pretty low. Each time I play it again it is less fun. This game features realistic control and great special effects (especially with the water). I wouldn't buy it, but its not a bad rental.

Quake 64: What can I say, this game is a favorite from the PC and I think I'll always like it. The N64 was not perfect, I just can't give it that, but it was not bad. The lighting and water were pretty good. I didn't like the way they changed some of the level designs, and they way that the enemy bodies dissappeared was not very satisfying. I couldn't even get a very good glimpse at my enemies decapitated head before it faded away into nothing, taking away from the satisfaction. Also, in multiplayer, you could not play co-operative and you couldn't use the games levels as battle grounds. I don't mind the deathmatch maps, but favorites like the House of Cthon and Slipgate were non-existant in Multiplayer. Not bad, but once again, a renter.

Banjo-Kazooie: Heh, this game was pretty impresive, I must say. The graphics were all clean (and cute :=) ) and the atmospheric and enchanting music was a nice touch. (The music changes to suit where you are in the level, underwater its kinda like elevator xylephone music, by the ant hill you hear ants yell "Hup Two Three Four" :=) ) The story is not horrible, but I found banjo's sister annoying as hell! Hehe. Oh yes, one last thing, the way they talk is really cool, its hard to describe, you just have to play the game! (Bottles Rocks!)

Mortal Kombat 4: Hmm. Well, at the beginning I really liked Mortal Kombat for originality, and of course, gore. This game seemed to dig deep into the fighting genre and pull out all things that were missing from other games. Then came Mortal Kombat 3, which I really didn't care for much because I hate combo-based games, then MK Trilogy came out, but I still didn't like it much due to the damn combo system. Now comes Mortal Kombat 4, this game is pretty good, the graphics our an improvement and the characters look really good. Its pretty fun, though, the computer has a tendency to be very annoying. The fatalities our not impossible to do, but some leave something to be wanted. Its not bad though, really! Bad Things: New characters suck, control is poor with controller, music is lacking.
