Brother in Arms Hell’s Highway AU Review
Australian Version of Hell’s Highway Gets Warm Reception
If you are a fan of the Brothers in Arms series of just WWII FPS games in general chances are you are familiar with this title. Brothers in Arms cashes in on the popular WWII shooter genre that has done so well over the past few years.
The original releases of the series were stellar and the new updates to the title have been well received by fans also. While the new release has scored lower that previous titles on most review sites, the additions to game play, and mechanics make each new revision worth checking out.
If you are a World War 2 shooter fan, of just a general First Person Shooter fan you would definitely enjoy the latest offering in the Brothers in Arms series. Checkout the full review at IGN here.
Dance Dance Revolution X Review
Do You DDR? Show Us Your Moves!
Fans of the Dance Dance Revolution series will be disappointed after reading the IGN review of Konami’s latest title. The DDR series has pretty much become a poster child for what happens when you release 10+ versions of a game in the span of a couple years.
With all the rhythm games that have invaded the market place and the wide selection to choose from fans have become more selective of the Rhytm game genre in general and so have the critics.
While it takes more than just some good tracks to put together a rhythm game now a days, there is no excuse for missing or broken features in a title which only go to show that it was rushed out to stock store shelves.
Regardless of what has lead to the decline in quality you can read the full review on why this is a title you may want to skip, and op for Rock Band instead if you are a fan of the rhythm game genre.
Too Human, Too Little, Too Late, Too Bad
After Years of Hype Too Human Falls Flat with Critics
It’s a shame when a game that shows a lot of potential doesn’t live up to the expectations that have been created over the years. Too Human is a good example of the game that is fun to play, and shows promise but always seems to leave you with a feeling that there is something fundamentally lacking from the title.
I had a chance to play the Too Human demo a few weeks ago and this was the feeling I was left with. While the game was fun and offered a good mix of action based RPG play it didn’t quiet spur me to jump off the couch and go out to reserve the title.
The game play concepts are solid and in a way are reminiscent of the style of Phantasy Star Online. That seemed like it could sky rocket the game to success when you looked at the popularity of the PSO series.
After checking around for reviews online I am glad that I saved my $60 for beer money, as it seems my initial feelings have been confirmed by several different critics. While everyone will admit that the game is fun, it leaves people wanting more out of the core game play. This is not to say the game is bad, it just doesn’t deliver in the same style befitting the Silicon Knights.
My biggest complaint would be the reported 10 hour playtime which is a shame even for a platform title. With the quality of most current generation games, ten hours is considered “short” at best and is unacceptable for an RPG.
Silicon Knights has reported that this game will be a Trilogy that picks up where the first story left off. Hopefully future releases of the title will address the issues that have kept this game from receiving the praise it deserves.
