Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
Overall: Terrible game.Out-of-date graphics.
Aweful story-line.
There's more cut-scenes then there is gameplay. I would give this game a '0' if it was possible, but XBA is forcing me to give it a 1.5. Why can't I give this poor excuse for a game a 1 that it deserves???
Gameplay: Controls were aweful. Were's the camera control? This was a major letdown from the previous MG. Don't waste your time on MGS3 unless you completely revamp EVERYTHING!
Graphics: Out-of-date graphics. Take a look at the competition to see how's it's done right. Splinter Cell comes to mind.
Audio: The music in the game is decent, but the souns themselves are terrible. How can your R&D dept. listen to that crap and say, "This is good?"
Suggestions: Look at the competition and you will see you are out of your league. Get your head out of your butt and redo MGS3 from scratch.
Overall Score: 3.0 / 10
Blinx: The Time Sweeper
Overall: Overall, this game is amazing. Great imagination on the developers part. Manipulation of time...who would have thought? The tutorial was simple and the game was REALLY easy to get a handle on. The camera angles aren't that bad....I don't see what some reviewers are complaining about when thy say the camera angles suck.Gameplay: Control is great. I thought the time manipulation was going to be confusing, but it's extemely easy. You can upgrade your weapons and unlock secrets. This game seems to have a lot of replay value.
Graphics: Graphics are awesome. The lighting and interaction with the environment is great. As in ever game that has water...that's the best part. Reflections of the surrounding environment and the ripple effect when Blinx jumps in and runs through it. The backround has that Tim Burton/Nightmare Before Christmas feel to it. It's pretty cool.
Audio: Lots of sound. Very crisp and the music is cool. I don't even have it hooked up to DD 5.1 and it sounds badass.
Suggestions: Have Blinx speak English. I just find it to be annoying and I don't want to read sub-titles. But, that's just me. It is unique, though.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
