Thebiguglyalien's Last 5 Game Reviews (view last 25) |
Spider-Man 2 01-04-15 09:10 PM |
Spider-Man's Greatest Video Game? Spider-Man 2 is a video game about everybody’s favorite superhero (not counting Batman, Superman, Iron Man, or the Hulk)! Based on the movie of the same name, you play as Spider-Man as he delivers pizzas, struggles to maintain his relationships with his friends and family, takes pictures of stuff, and retrieves balloons like only a real superhero can! When you’re not doing that, you can fight crime, swing through New York City, and bring down some of Spider-Man’s deadliest foes! Being based on a movie, some may have their doubts about this game. But can it stand on its own? Graphics: 9 Spider-Man 2’s design is just what you would expect of a well done Xbox game. The effects look good, you can tell who the characters are supposed to be, and New York City actually resembles New York City. The only thing that I really point out as a problem with the game is that many of the non-playable characters that are walking around on the street look rather odd. When it comes down to it, the graphics in this game really are amazing. Sound: 8 The sound in Spider-Man 2 is amazing as well. First and most importantly, the actors from the movie reprised their roles for this game. Because of this, all of the characters sound identical to their movie counterparts. Besides this, the rest of the game is composed really well. The music, while by no means the greatest in video game history, is still very good for what you’d expect from a game based on some Spider-Man movie. The sound in this game is definitely done right. Addictiveness: 6 Spider-Man 2 can be quite addicting at times, especially towards the beginning. When you first start playing the game, swinging off buildings across Manhattan can be quite entertaining. There’s also enjoyment to be found in beating the crap out of criminals. Despite this, the game play can get rather monotonous by the end of the game. Once you’ve completed all of the objective... Read the rest of this Review |
Worms Forts: Under Siege 01-04-15 08:22 AM |
Worms: Blowing Up Buildings Worms Forts: Under Siege is yet another game where a bunch of homicidal worms blow the ever living crap out of each other using a ridiculous arsenal of various explosives. This Worms game, however, has a twist. Not only are the worms throwing explosives at each other, but now they’re blowing up their homes as well. Worms Forts: Under Siege brings in a whole new game play by introducing forts for the worms to launch attacks from. Graphics: 3 Despite the fact that this is the second Worms game to be in 3D, it seems there is no improvement in the graphics. Worms Forts:: Under Siege was released around the end of the Xbox’s lifespan, yet it still looks like a relic from the Play Station or Nintendo 64. The game’s saving grace is the collection of weapons. The weapons are really well designed despite their crude appearance. The graphics on this game could definitely use some improvement. Sound: 4 While it is an improvement on the graphics, the sound doesn’t present much more to the game. Sure, the explosions are nice. The worms can say funny things every once in a while. Except when it comes down to it, that’s really about it. There’s nothing else that’s particularly interesting about the sound in this game. Addictiveness: 7 Worms Forts: Under Siege does have some interesting game play involved. The primary goal in the game is to use your various guns, bombs, and sweet old ladies to destroy your opponent’s worms and fort. Whether you play a simple versus game with a friend, or a one on one on one on one with low gravity and maximum ammunition, Worms Forts can provide fun gameplay for some time. After a while it can get somewhat monotonous, but there’s nothing quite like strapping an explosive to a hippo and crashing it into a hospital. That makes sense in context. I swear. Story: 3 The little bit of story that exists in Worms Forts is just used to set the stage for ... Read the rest of this Review |
Grand Theft Auto Vice City 01-02-15 07:18 PM |
Grand Theft Auto: Guns, Explosions, and Chainsaws Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the second game in the Grand Theft Auto series to go into the third dimension. It took everything Grand Theft Auto III did right, and it expanded on that. Even today, Vice City is still regarded as a notable game in the series, standing against titles such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V. Even though it’s been redone several times over, Vice City still stands as a great Grand Theft Auto game and a great game in general. Now let’s see why exactly this is. Graphics: 8 For an Xbox game, the graphics in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City are pretty good. They aren’t exactly the graphics of Grand Theft Auto V, but that’s to be expected when you consider the ten year difference between the two games. Given the resources they had at the time, they managed to make a pretty good looking game. The city was designed very well, and all of the cars look sleek and well put together (you know, until you crash them, which you inevitably well). The character designs are crude and rather generic, but they are still about the quality expected of an Xbox game such as this one. Most importantly, there’s blood. You can’t have Grand Theft Auto without that sweet, sweet blood. Sound: 7 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City offers just about what you would expect in terms of sound. It has good sound effects, the voice acting is decent, and it has some good music. The chainsaw sound effect is good too. Nothing particularly stands out other than the occasional song, but it gets the job done. Addictiveness: 10 If you like the Grand Theft Auto games, then you’ll be hooked as soon as you start this one. It has a sort of humble simplicity compared to some of the more recent games, but it definitely has plenty to offer. Who knew it could be so fun to hit a pedestrian with a golf club, assault a police officer, get in a high speed chase, die, respawn, steal an ambulance, and drive ... Read the rest of this Review |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 01-02-15 12:21 PM |
Harry Potter and the Moderately Fun Video Game Harry Potter is one of the biggest book and movie sensations there have ever been. But how does that translate into a video game? As most of us know, licensed video games are generally not the greatest. They can be put together poorly, or they can have generic gameplay that doesn’t offer anything to the player. Honestly, most of them just suck. Licensed video games are also infamous for straying significantly from their source material. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, however, is the first of the Harry Potter video games that follows along with the movie it represents. But let’s break it down and see just what works and what doesn’t. Graphics: 9 Being an earlier video game on the Xbox 360, the graphics can’t be expected to match those of the later releases. Despite this, it still does a pretty good job. The characters look just like the actors that play them. Hogwarts looks great too. It is clear that a lot of work went into developing the setting so it’s appealing to the player, and this work was not in vain. It’s also worth pointing out that the spells are bright and colorful too, which is always a plus. Though it doesn’t have the sleek graphics that some Xbox 360 games boast, Order of the Phoenix can definitely hold its own. Sound: 7 To put it bluntly, the sound in Order of the Phoenix isn’t anything special. It has some basic music, sound effects make the impression they need to make, and all of the sounds are where they need to be. It works, but just being adequate won’t allow it to rise to the top. The reason it got as high of a score as it did would be the fact that many of the characters are voiced by their actors from the films. There may be some lines that get repeated over and over and the dialogue may seem rather generic, but the characters sound like themselves. Addictiveness: 6 Order of the Phoenix can be very interesting when you first start playing... Read the rest of this Review |
Vexx 09-01-14 11:02 AM |
An Obscure Mario Clone Vexx is an action/adventure platform game released in 2003 by Acclaim Studios. In Vexx, the goal is to travel across several unique worlds in an attempt to collect various objects, which in turn allow you to access more worlds. In case you haven’t picked up on it yet, Vexx is a blatant clone of Super Mario 64. With that said, this review will not make any comparisons between the two, and will be judging Vexx based solely on its own merits. Now let’s take a closer look, and see if this obscure Xbox game is worth a playthrough. Graphics: 9 Vexx’s greatest strength is easily the level of detail and skill put into the graphic designs of the game. Though the graphics carry the distinct plastic-like appearance of their generation, the makers of the game were very careful in their level design. Each world has its own unique feel, some even inspiring a level of awe. The character design of this game should not be overlooked either. Every character from the pointy eared Vexx to the flabby Sumo Kin, has their own unique and clever design. The graphics of Vexx really represent what the Xbox is capable of. Sound: 7 Trailing along right behind the graphics would be the sound. The music in Vexx is definitely on the right track. Though it doesn’t rival what are often considered the greatest video game soundtracks, the soundtrack in Vexx is perfectly capable of pulling its own weight. Each world has its own specific music, which really adds to the game as a whole. The sound effects are also worth noting, though they can grow old and they begin to sound generic over time. Vexx’s main weakness as far as sound goes is the voice acting. At best, the acting is mediocre. Cheesy at worst. The characters take themselves far too seriously and lack any real emotion. Addictive: 6 The goal in Vexx is to travel the various worlds to collect the wraithhearts. How addictive this game is depends on how much patience you have for ... Read the rest of this Review |
