Dragon Quest VIII -
True to the original, turn based RPG Cell shaded graphics give a cartoon feel. New menu option – Intimidate – scare off enemies, or cause show more...Echanted Arms - 360
Mixed feelings on this one. Horrible story: Imagine the worst Japaneese RPG then multiply by a your shoe size bad story One of the main chars is way over the top gay. Not sure if this was supposed to be a pro gay statement, which would have been way cool and refreshing but instead it comes out as gay bashing. Most NPCs have names that relfect their current mood, like “Girl who loves her brother”. It’s like it was written for 7 year old Japaneese girls or something The game is beautiful although not groundbreaking in any regard. The sound is good, very nice, not groundbreaking. The combat system however is where it’s at. It’s a tactical kinda turn based thingy. At first it’s a bit weird, but once you get used to it it’s really cool. Theleveling system is different enough to be interesting. Final word: Hated it at first, gonna keep playing it now. Starting to get good. Buy it cheap and expect it to suck for the first hour or so. It’s worth it.Wipeout: Pure -
Super fast sled racing Several different Levels (increasing in difficulty) Great visual sense of speed The voice over is lost in the background music and sound effect Content downloads add a huge amount of tracks and sledsN3 - 360
Prettiest game I’ve seen so far on the 360! Fun hack and slash in the ilk of Dynasty warriors. Do Not be fooled, Kingdom under Fire this aint. Crazy amounts of enemies on screen. Final word: Technical masterpiece // the game is pretty much same old same old.Online Retro Moment.
