Episode 40!

seen in the movie – The “control” of the police is a nice touch Having 2 paths – psychopath and professional gives a tiny bit of replayability The visuals are dated and look old The driving portions are terrible The action portions aren’t that great – trys to add stealth elements but fails The soundtrack is the awesome “K-Billy super sounds of the 70’s” Voice actors seems like they are trying to be the original actor and not the character. Cutscene’s are CG’d scenes from the movie, mostly edited both for time and content. This would make a great extra disk in the 15th anniversary edition (which is advertised in the instruction book) but not much more.

Final Fantasy XII - PS2

Much better than I expected, based on what I saw in the preview from Dragon Quest VIII Story is fantastic! Fully imersive, great cut scenes, everythign done right. The sound is stellar as always, VO is top notch Graphics look dated. It’s an old console now and it shows. I’d love to see a version of this for XB360 or the PS3… won’t happen. Colour palette is muted and everything kind of blends together. The combat is the thing… It’s good, very reminisent of a MMO, but I miss the old style of fighting. The extra that come with the collector’s edition are nice, but not… OMG I can’t lve without nice.
