Beyond Good & Evil - finished ... quite nice. Cliche city throughout and no where near the standard of the recent Zelda/GC, but rather nice all the same. No replay value at all IMO.
Grabbed By The Ghoulies - fun while it lasted, but no desire to go back and slog my way through those freaks again.
Just glad I hadn't forked out £30-40 on the above - would have been well miffed. Both games are short and lack any kind of serious depth and subtle gameplay features.
... any decent games you dudes have nailed recently?
1080's excellent, a nice update of the n64 version with great graphics and some nice extra modes, a bit short maybe if you're not into time attack and trick mode.....welcome to borrow it if you want...
just playing through the X-Box version of Tenchu 3 at the moment.... love it love it!!!!
also got Ninja Gaiden and Splinter Cell 2 i am currently playing....
hmmm Beyond Good and Evil was a lot of fun IMO although i probably wouldn't fork out £40 for it...... as you said bit a short... but fun whilst it lasted....
I think one negative apsect of Beyond Good & Evil was the lack of use of the space craft. It took ages to upgrade to that craft type and then it was only used minimally. It was really good fun floating around using the ship and they could have exploited that aspect far more. Maybe including more sub-quests and more shoot'em up sections (StarFox style).
The Rasta Rhinos were a bit naff as well. The dreadlocks on the one looked rubbish. The static character animation overall lacked detail and dare I say it "character".
The creeping around sections were well put together. Very Metal Gear.
Overall the game felt like several game genres cobbled together to form one whole unit.
Kind of like a ready meal. Looks good on the box, then you take the box apart and look inside and it begins to look not so good. But you forgive it's inadequacies as you are hungry. Then you eat the meal. Full of promise, but never quite delivering the full taste expectation. Afterwards you ask yourself why you bothered in the first place, as you know if you had made another meal choice the fulfillment would have been greater due to each component part having higher nutritious value.
It was supposed to be out by now. Not sure if it is worth the effort, but I am looking for another multiplayer game to lean away from Halo for a while.
My friends pretty much refuse to play anything but Halo. Which is fine for them, but I tend to win 100% of the time and it is getting dull.
