Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen; Nothing Like the Movie!!

Who doesn’t enjoy watching robots transform in some of the coolest cars around? The greatest movie of all time with a great follow up, the game fell short on all parts. I really expected more from this game. Yes, there should be robots killing each other but the game needs more. It needs different type of missions than “Kill all Decepticons in site” (in my best Optimus Prime voice). For a movie who sold out the first three weeks, they could’ve put more graphics and better game play into the game. Reminds me of Superman: The Movie, when its game came out. Its graphics was good but the game play fell short.

When the game first starts, expectations are high. You start by learning all the basic moves and controls. Best thing thru the whole game is jumping into the air and watch your autobot or decepticon change into the vehicle. While shooting at different targets you pretty much get the since of how the rest of the game is going to go. Optimus will pop up on the screen and tell you the next mission. You are partially lost when going into missions. During game play there are small movie clips that will play to give light to the situations. If you do not look at the map you will be unaware of how many enemies are in the area.

When looking at your surrounding, you can notice that most building look exactly the same. Sort’ve like the creators got bored and tired so the copied and pasted a lot of building from other games into transformers and clicked file save. There really isn’t much to do in story mode. From protecting building and running around the town, boredom sets in quick.

Richard Wakeling; bloger for thunder bolts games, states “Obviously this is brilliant for fans of the show and even newcomers that want to see what the 80s smash hit was actually like”. Those who love Transformers will object when I say the game sucks. They are blinded by the hype, the game is repetitive, boring, and needs more variety.



Though the story mode game play is slow, multiplayer mode adds to the positives. Maybe because I chill with friends who are very competitive and use a curse word in every other sentence that made the game more enjoyable. What I mean is, multiplayer brings a lot of fun. Team death match is boring against computer but find a group of college individuals, hung over from the night before, and your guaranteed and good time. They (my friends), think the game is great, that the coolest thing about it is letting them transform. I reply, play the story mode.

Chris Roper states that he found a handful of bugs/clichés in the system as he played. He noted that on missions where cars should be following you, they get lost and just appear in the end. Also that one mission, after dieing once and replaying it, left him at a stand still. Came to the conclusion that he was supposed to lose that mission on purpose. I add this in there since my attention span couldn’t last more than bout a half a hour playing this game.

Overall the game gets 3 out of 10 in my book. They spent too much time trying to make the robots and the transformations look good instead of giving a little more time to game play and surrounding settings.

Apology

To the Chicken:

I apologize to chickens all across the world. I apologize for deep frying your brothers and sisters on an everyday basis. Smothering them in BBQ sauce, garlic flavoring, teriyaki, honey, hot sauce, and any other combination local restaurants can create. I apologize for rolling you around in ranch and cleaning the meat off your bones. For sticking you between two buns, lettuce, tomatoes, slice of cheese and a little mayo. I apologize for putting you in front of my family on a Sunday evening after church. Leaving you alone during a football game right before the half time show. For selling you out of concession stand for outrageous prices. I apologize for wrapping you in tortillas with sauce and selling them in drive thru. For committing the worst sin of all, letting people put ketchup on your tenderness. I apologize for the bottom of my stomach and hope others feel the same. Though your species may be one of the most delicious of all time, I apologies for my behavior and ask for your forgiveness.

Lets get "WET"!!! (the game of course)

WET Review

Sexy female with a gun on her waist and a sword in her hand, Wet for the Xbox 360 is a good game. Reluctant from playing the game because of the title, Wet destroyed any doubt in my mind. From the graphics, to characters, and game play, Wet exceeded my expectations.

So let’s take everything we think is cool, sex, violence, drama, and put it in a game. Wet takes these three categories to new heights. The Graphics are essential in story mode fighting games such as this. The main characters fighting style is unique. The graphics adds to the hardcore presence she has. Slicing and dicing her way through stages, the game never gets boring. Crisp pictures are on point at all times. As the game turns into slow motion she is able to climb walls in slow motion, shooting at the same time. Also sliding on the ground and jumping through the air in slow motion, the game reaches new heights. It’s up there with Grand Theft Auto and other violent, one character, mission type games.

There is a time in the game where everything goes red, as in background images and objects. Enemies are in all black and red on the shirts (tie) or holding black weapons. This adds interesting game play as you run through levels killing individuals who when killed, disappear into a black smoke.

Sex appeal gives games an added advantage. The character is on with high sex appeal but the same toughness as Niko from grand theft auto. Some say(1up reviews) the story line of her chasing an ex-employer who double-crossed her kind’ve makes her sound like “Kill Bill”. I would say she is more badass. She keeps the sexiness of the jacket and tight pants throughout the whole game. She shows toughness, never in anything too short or revealing.

While moving through stages her moves become more precise and deadly. The ability to jump between two enemies and aim at both is a good move. The moves are a tad bit repetitive but the game play keeps your mind into the game. The more points you get the better weapons and move sets will come available. KILL EVERYTHING POSSIBLE!!

Some stages need help. It sort’ve has the same flow. Run into a room kill everyone and watch the guy your chasing run to another room which you run after him. Some random things will pop up like whisky bottle that give you energy and random monkey statues, real cute!

I rate this game at a “7”. Some things are just a little to fake for me. Some situation where you know someone really wouldn’t survive and it happens throws me off.

“it’s a good rent, buy it when its in the $20 bin”
“Better than FALLOUT”

About DezNuts!!!

Born and Raised in Orlando, Florida, I am the Youngest of 4 kids. As a young boy i failed miserably at sports. Basketball team didn't even have room on the bench for me. Football team didn't need another water boy. Did make the Track team but who doesn't? Athletics wasn't my strength but I was a master with the controllers. By This I mean from Nintendo to the present game systems, i have owned, played, and destroyed. Kinda wish my parent would stress physical games instead of playing the game on PlayStation but I still came out okay.

Intelligent individual that always excelled in school is who I am. Student Body President of my School, Honor Society Member, Graduated top 10 percent with an honors diploma, a geek but swagged out to the fullest. Games just seemed to be part of who I was. My brothers would have me hooked to all day and night. My weekends included a bag of candy and a run to blockbuster! My video game addiction was felt by all, even my friends were addicted to "marvel vs capcom" and "need for speed".

Life has had its bumps up to this point but video games always seemed to calm things down. Like when you have that annoying girl friend who wont shut up; why not blow up a few zombies to relieve the stress?
