Addicted Part 5

It's been a while since I've done an "addicted" post so here goes...

I've played a lot of stuff since my last addicted post back in FEB 09! been over a year already...

But here are a few reviews (of stuff that I actually remember playing :P )

Lego Batman:

This game like the rest of the Lego series is just fun, especially if you have a love for legos like I had/have. There are tons of levels, 30+, unlockables, hidden areas, and hours of lego smashing/building. And it's Batman!!! You can play as the hero or the villain, including Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Penguin, Clayface, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, the list goes on :)

My Rating: 10/10

Devil May Cry 4:

I said I'd review this in my last post so I guess now is as good as ever. I still have not put a ton of time into this game, and it's not because it's not a great game. I actually don't know what it is, I love this game just like the other DMC's in the series. I just keep buying it again when I have bought something else and it gets put on the back burner. Like I said I love it, from what I've played, there are a lot of baddies to slice and dice or shoot to death, unlockables for your weapons and devil arm, and once again a lot of cool areas and side missions. I really need to sit down and beat this game, I have never taken this long not to beat a game :)

My Rating: 8/10 (great game but I'll rate again when I actually finish it)

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

Another fun game just to mess around and waste some time with, that being said it gets repetitive. There are a ton of ways to customize your vehicles and make them your own and essentially make each level your own by the way you play. You can stay on the ground or fly depending on your vehicle set-up, oh and making super fast motorcycle type vehicles is really fun. I spend some good time just messing around and making vehicles and trying them out, I think more time than actually playing the story. The story is good and easy to follow but like I said gets repetitive, go here collect this and that turn in to open that... good but not great, and I sold the game because I was bored with it. Still if you can get it used for a cheap price and want to spend some time just messing around it is a good game to buy.

My Rating 7/10

Prototype

I put a lot of time into playing this game, because it was somewhat challenging and a lot of fun. Levels are big and free roaming is great, there are tons of side missions and baddies to destroy. The story line keeps getting more intense and the city more overrun by the plague. I ended up beating the game and still playing (until I had to return to the guy I borrowed it from) because there was more to do and I was still having fun. The different "weapons" you get make the baddie beating great, and by weapons I'm referring to the way your body switches to a giant axe, or whip, or giant spike, and the special abilities the allow you to destroy a whole block make it even more enjoyable. The one large flaw is that this is another repetitive game, but the fact that you're killing tons of baddies in single sweeps and blowing up cars and feeding on people's memories almost make you forget that you just did the same thing in that last mission.

My Rating: 9/10

Call of Duty: World at War

I'm not going to do a huge review on this game, it is an amazing game and I would recommend it to anyone but CoD:MW2 is out now and is better and I love it! I do need to get this game again and actually beat it, the later levels when playing on the hardest difficulty are... HARD.

My Rating: 9/10 (offline only, never played multiplayer)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This is pretty much the reason I started this post again, I am literally addicted to this game. The campaign was actually good and didn't have you whipping through just wanting to finish it. You actually get a feel for all the different weapon classes and I think it actually got me prepared for the multiplayer action that was to come after I beat the campaign. There are many weapons, explosives, levels, and opposing forces to kill. There is also a Spec Ops that is pretty much bonus side missions, they are challenging and make you actually think and use your skills to manage your way to a victory.

My Campaign/Spec Ops Rating: 10/10

CoD:MW2 Online Multiplayer

I was just going to continue writing this along with the first part but playing online is like playing a whole new game, so it'll get it's own section. I am beyond addicted to playing online and killing people... ummm online fake people that is :) There are 70 levels of unlockables to open, from weapons to call signs to kill streaks that will decimate the opposition. After you have ranked up to level 70 you can go prestige and pretty much start over and level up again but this time with a prestige sign next to your name and the ability to open up more unlockables. I have played other multiplayer first person shooters on Live before and the amount of childish bull crap has always been a big hindrance to the game play. MW2 got it right, and besides the few Nuke boosting idiots and the occasional little kids messing around talking about balls and dicks on the chat (which can quickly be muted) it is an extremely enjoyable environment to play in.

My Rating: 10/10
