duowolfI've been a little busy the past couple of weeks trying to finish some of the games I've got lying around the house. So far I've finished Kingdom Hearts 2, Onimusha: Dawn Of Dreams, Project Zero 3, Urban Chaos:Riot Response, Final Fight: Streetwise and Cold Fear.
Well Kingdom Hearts 2 was alot of fun, I've always had a soft spot for direct sequals to games and this one certainly delivered in every way.
I have to say I actully enjoyed this one alot more then I did the first one and my only real complaint was that Cloud really should have been in it abit more.
Next up is Onimusha:Dawn Of Dreams which is set about 20-30 years after the end of Onimusha 3 and has a completly new hero. I've always been a fan of the Onimusha series and my only real complaint with this game was that it was alot more of an action game and less of a fuedal survial horror like the others were.
On a plus point there were quite a few returning characters from the thrid game which was cool though the bad guys just weren't as much fun as Nobunaga was.
Then came Project Zero 3, these games have always scared me the most. Theres something about the old, creepy mansions and temples that fill you with dread even before all the ghosts start popping out everywhere. This game ties the last two together as alongside the main character it also stars the girl from the first game and the uncle of the twins from the second game.
Even though it was a cool game I just didn't find this one as scary as the last two games mainly because you are thrown out of the mansion and into a normal apartment every so often which really breaks up the feeling of tension and fear that you get while exploring the haunted places.
Then came Urban Chaos:Riot Response. This was a first-person shooter where you play a new recurit in a special unit fighting against terrorists and riotors. Every level you either have a medic, a cop or a fireman to back you up and help you move through the level. I actully had alot of fun playing this game espically playing with the tazser.
As a special bonus there was an Albert Wesker look-a-like in the game whos name was Adam Wolf. It was kinda distubing as not only did he look like everyones fav Umberlla memebr he had the same initals as well. He must have working undercover or something. *laughs*
Then I started playing Final Fight: Streetwise it which you play Kyle the younger brother of Cody (the main character from the orignal games) as you search for your brother on the mean streets of Metro City. I've always had a soft spot for the orignal Final Fight games, having spent many an hour playing co-op with my brother and this was an enjoyable return to those days.
I have to say though that it was a very werid game, the mini-games were downright bizarre in places(a slider puzzle, stamp the cockroaches etc) and plot made no sense in places but even after all that it was still a fun waste of a few hours. The only real complaint I had was one of the last missions you have to protect a couple of people through the city, these two share the same life bar and the AI is so bad they pretty much stand there even when the enemy is throwing hand grenades at them *cries*
Lastly I played Cold Fear a survial horror game set on a Russian Whaler. I will say it now this game is damn hard. There is very little ammo, little health, the enimes must be killed with head shots and to top it all of there are hardly any save points*cries*
That said it's a damn good game, the atmospere is excellent and you really feel like your on a boat as the whole places moves with the waves hitting the sides of the ship.It's a very spooky game but as I said very very hard.
