Front Mission Evolved Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am personally an avid FM fan and had this pre-oredered for the Xbox 360 for quite a while, and as of this review I have completed the game on Normal and Hard, and I am a Staff Sergeant 2 in Multiplayer.
Story/Characters/Cutscenes 2/5
The story (about 10 hours in length), though cliched, is truly weakened by how forced it feels--a little more exposition and well-placed dialogue explaining some of the under-lying themes/plot holes would have improved the otherwise average story I felt like I was watching a new addition to the Gundam series with no fight choreography. However, since Motomu Toriyama, the lead writer for Final Fantasy XIII wrote the story, it should come to no surprise that it has all the same issues as FFXIII's story; that being a lack of exposition manifested in unspoken themes and massive plot-holes. Additionally, The Character development was predictable, but the voice-acting, produced by Hydrogen Whiskey Studios, wasn't too bad. However, the dialogue provided to record was terrible--thank you Toriyama. The Cutscenes, also outsourced to Hydrogen Whiskey Studios, were quite good and went a long way to enjoying the otherwise below-average story.
Gameplay 4/5
Gameplay mechanics are tight, (Double-Helix did a great job) and the additional modes: On foot infiltration and Gunship Defense are well thought out and fairly fun (except on hard in which case they're a nuisance). I was very pleased to find no bugs in either of my two playthroughs, and quite frankly, a little shocked. It was quite refreshing as it has been too long since I have been able to say that. The gameplay, though not anything revolutionary, is the highlight of the game and makes the game worth buying for Hardcore FM fans and Hardcore Mech fans alike.
Customization 3/5
Customization mirrors that of FM, FM2, and FM4, so fans of the more open upgrade driven advancement in FM3 and FM5 will be disappointed. At different campaign levels and cash milestones more parts are available, and these new parts will yield the old parts obsolete (in most cases these new parts are upgrades to the previously purchased Wanzers). This doesn't bother me much, but I know this will be a concern to some FM fans and AC fans. An issue I have with the customization is the lack of strategy involved in the campaign and multiplayer as a result of customization restraints. For instance in FM4 and Evolved a Ballistics Wanzer could use a Recon Wanzers sensor backpack to extend the Ballistic Wanzers Range, and though the repair backpack makes a come-back, it comes at the cost of mobility as the roller-skating ability, though still accessible, is less maneuverable without the A.G.I.L.I.T.Y backpack. It feels like the strategic component is overall lacking in a series that has ever emphasized strategy.
Overall 3.5/5
For all its faults it was better than I expected. The story was written by Square-Enix, The voice acting and Cutscenes by Hydrogen Whiskey Studios, and the gameplay by Double-Helix, and despite this, the overall cohesion of the product is exceptional and exceeded my expectations. I truly enjoyed the full experience of it all despite it's shortcomings, so I recommend this for the true die-hard fan of the FM series and die-hard Mech Fans starved for more robotic slaughter, but everyone else should consider renting first.

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This isn't so much a review of The Lost & the Damned (which is great BTW), as it is a warning about spending the $22.95 they're asking for this card as of today. The game is only 1600 regular microsoft points ($19.99 just about everywhere), you don't need a special code or anything so save the few bucks and just get regular MS points, or use a credit card on the xboxlive site to download the extra episodes.

Expand your command over the rough and tumble Grand Theft Auto underworld with GTA IV: The Lost and Damned for Xbox 360. You'll need an Xbox LIVE connection and a GTA IV game disk to use this add-on content, but once you're connected, you'll have a whole new perspective on Liberty City.
Take a Joy Ride with Johnny Klebitz Unlike Niko Bellic of GTA IV, and most of the other central GTA characters you may be familiar with, Johnny Klebitz is no newcomer to the tumultuous underworld of Liberty City, he's a local that lets you see the streets through fresh eyes. VP of "The Lost" motorcycle club and brother of Billy, the club's hot-headed president, Johnny built up profitable truces with other local gangs while his brother was in rehab, but now that Johnnie's out, chaos is back at the forefront of life for this crew.
If this sounds too tame for you, don't worry -- you'll find yourself leveling brutal attacks on cops and rivals, taking your fill of booze and women, and watching out for drug deals gone wrong in classic GTA style. Find a way to stick together, don't hesitate to kill if you have to, and hold on for the ride as this storyline intersects with the main story from GTA IV, exposing tons of the gut-wrenching twists you've come to expect from series creator Rockstar North.
Experience the Thrill of a Sleek, Graphic Production Series fans have come to expect more from Grand Theft Auto titles--from more action to better production and truly diverse soundtracks--and they won't be disappointed with this edition. In addition to powerful graphics, cool lighting, and music not found in the rest of GTA IV, this expansion pack boasts new multiplayer modes for exploiting Liberty City with your friends, hot new vehicles, and newly minted weapons.
This add-on is only available as a download from Xbox LIVE, so you'll receive an activation code instead of a disk in the package, along with a two-sided GTA poster.

Call of Duty Classic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those of you who don't know, Call of Duty Classic is a port of the original Call of Duty for the PC back in 2003 to the Xbox 360 and PS3. Here's what I think about it:
Gameplay: 8/10
It's basically the same COD gameplay that you'll find in the later COD titles. However, you lack the ability to sprint in this game, and you use health packs instead of having regenerating health. The health pack system is good at making things a challenge, but it can get annoying every once in a while.
Graphics: 6/10
It's a 2003 game. I know that it's not going to have ultrarealistic graphics but I feel that they could have at least gone back and made it look a little bit nicer. In a side by side comparison, I could see almost no difference between the 360 version and the PC version with settings on high. The game can also get really dark in some areas making it hard to see, and it lacks any brightness options.
Sound: 6.5/10
I actually think that the sound unimproved a bit over the original. The original COD was loud, and the sound effects were great for its time. The gun sound effects in this game are pretty pathetic.
Single Player: 8.5/10
I really liked the single player in this game. I think the single player in the later COD games (COD4 in particular) are very boring and not worth playing through more than once or twice. The game's single player takes place in three distinct campaigns, the American, British and Russian campaigns (all played in that order). The Russian missions are very fun and the most intense, the American missions are good but not as fun as the Russian ones, and the British campaign is just plain boring in my opinion, although the last British mission is pretty fun. The single player content is packed pretty big, the game is about two hours longer than COD MW2's campaign.
Multiplayer: 8/10
Not a whole lot of multiplayer to speak of. There are a few people playing, but most people would rather play MW2. The multiplayer was a big selling point of the original COD, but here it's not even worth trying out. Don't buy the game just for the multiplayer. I do like the maps though, and I wish MW2 had more maps like these.
Overall: 3.5/5 stars
COD Classic is a good port. Although it's dated graphics and soundwise, those who look past that will find a nicely polished single player campaign. If you're into single player content, then $15 is a pretty good price, but don't buy the game expecting a thriving multiplayer community. I wish I could give this 3.5 stars, but I'll just give it four.
