STARWARS BATTLE-FRONT 2 REVIEW

Today im going to review the lucus arts game STARWARS BATTLE-FRONT 2.

This was very refresing to review after the BLACK review. lucus arts sarwars has made some absolutly horrible starwars game that will never take off (SW obi wan, SW republic commando), but occasionaly someone will thing up a game for the starwars franchise that will eventually be known by every gamer on the planet. i am ofcouse talking about the starwars battlefront franchise that took the world by storm and then gave it dessert by relesing a second tasty installment. SW Battle-front was definatly not the first to introduce a territory type game style but in my eyes were the first to create a sense of adventure into it. the halo series
tried to have a territory type arcade game but it didn't work as well as bungie hoped.

Visuals

the visuals are average but still make you feel as if you are in the action. the HUD is easy to under stand and the camera is simple but works well. also as an added bonus you can choose if you want to have third person view or first person. i have been talking about the third person view, the first person on the other hand is another story. first person is hard to under stand and use.

Audio

the audeo is very staight forword, its just basic starwars SFX. what was annoying was the fact that some of the people from the starwars movies were in it but did not have the same actor speaking the audio.

Last Views

SW Battlefront was good, the sequel was amasing and if they make a third game it should be incredible. i would strongly recomend it!

BLACK Review

Today im reviewing the Xbox/Playstaytion 2 game BLACK.

When i first brought this game the first subject that came to my mind was that there is no multiplayer. that really annoyed me to the point where i didn't even want to play it but i did end up playing it so here are my thoughts.

Graphics

Just to start out i have to say that the visuals in black have to be the best graphics i have ever seen on the Playstation 2. The jawdroping fire graphics could be one to compete with Alone in the Dark for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 not to mention that it was the first game to introduce eye focus fuzz out when reloding.

Audio

The audio could of been improved greatly for this game for the fact it had soo much potental. for a game that is supposed to make your heart race you think hey could of put on some more decent music. its not that hard to do; DOOM 3 and Gears of war did it perfectly. (i know its unfair to compare BLACK with Gears of war but with a little more time and effort electronic arts could of pulled it off.)

Gameplay

The first few levels are extremely enjoyable BUT after that the missions are a damb chore and you genualy happy that the game is finnished. Now there is a serious problem when you dont want to continue a game because you think its boring. another thing that needs to be awarded is the fact that almost everything is destuctable which is amusing.........UNTIL ABOUT THE THIRD MISSION!

BLACK had so much potental but screwed itself over. its like the makers didnt bother to even play the game before it released. i would recomend it for the spectical but not for the enjoyment.
