Yeah, I have to agree. My friends bums this game like crazy but after about 20 minutes the novelty factor of VAT's shooting people's head off just wore thin.
Maybe it was because I wasn't playing it personally for long but I actually got bored, which was wierd after spending so much time in Oblivion, this didn't really grasp me enough.
Graphics: 9/10. Can a game look any prettier than this?? And the physics...jeeesus it all works so well!!
Sound: 9/10 Some of the greatest tunes to arise since Patapon and Loco Roco.
Gameplay: 10/10 I haven't been a platform fan since the 80's but this has reignited it for me. Best platformer of all time with 1-4 player online and local, level creator, costumes, a pod to design and personalise...this has everything!
Longevity: 10/10 So long as people have an imagination to make maps it will never run out!
Overall: 9.5/10 Quite simply breathtaking. _________________
Graphics: 9/10. Graphically this game is incredible. Everything about it is great but there are some truly dreadful clipping issues! Also a shame 90% of the enemies look the same!
Sound: 8/10 Ok music but some of the guns now sound a lot meatier which is nice. Voice acting pretty good also!
Gameplay: 7/10 Exactly the same as part 1. Run down a redefined route, stop, kill enemies before it allows you to continue. All a tad dull but it is a good fun shooter none-the-less.
Longevity: 5/10 Campaign is pathetically short. As for MP I tried a few but I still dislike the close quaters, although they have widened it a tiny bit more than part 1.
Overall: 7.5/10
A good game for a rental but not enought to play more than once for me.
**********************************
Legendary
Graphics: 8/10. Some of the large vistas are amazing, the golem is excellent as is the kraken. Character models are a bit dull.
Sound: 9/10 Excellent Guitar music and ok voice acting. Guns sound meaty and nice too!
Gameplay: 8/10 There are some bits in this game that I love such as the Kraken fight or running round the feet of a 200' tall golum but others are just generic respawning enemies to increase gameplay time. A mixed bag but still good fun. Biggest flaw: only 7 guns!
Longevity: 6/10 20 hour campaign but multiplayer is a big generic....deathmatch fare. No replay value.
Overall: 7/10 A good fun distraction, not worthy of a major slagging it has had but a viable rental.
************************
Call of Duty 5: World at War
Graphics: 7.5/10: Nothing amazing but pretty enough. Level 1 is the best with the flares etc. Downhill from there sadly.
Sound: 6.5/10 Average voice acting and standard sound effects. Music a rehash of CoD3 also.
Gameplay: 8/10 Gameplay is good, the game is fun and the combat flows along at a reasonable pace. Sadly it has all been seen before and offers nothing new what so ever beyond the last WWII simulations.
Longevity: 8/10 Finished the main campaign in 8 hours and then unlocked the Zombie mode which frankly is poo.
The famed MP of CoD4 is still there which works as well as usual but again, same old same old.
Overall: 7.5/10 Overall it is what you would expect from a CoD game, it is basically CoD3 with a new setting but doing exactly the same as every other war based game out there.
Too short, too samey and with CoD4 now cheap you might as well just buy that as you'd get exactly the same from it! _________________
Care to elaborate, keeping in mind it is my opinion of said games. If your opinion differs feel free to post away?
We all have the right to say what we want to say, after all it's only a personal opinion, if the opinions of others offend you in some then either keep yer TRAP SHUT!!!, or voice your own opinion on said topic _________________
And GoW2 is widely acknowledged to be the best thing since midget sex but I thought it was all graphics and no gameplay.
Legendary is not great by any means but it is fun, less linear than many other games of late and has a sense of a grand scale, unlike the aforementioned game.
If his all tells us one thing Donny it is this, you and I have wiiiildly different views of games but let's not pick at each others opinions I am sure we are both far to grown up to sink to such childish retorts.
We shall hence forth have to simply agree to disagree on games and leave it as that eh? _________________
But the rest of your reviews did make sense in a kind of picky way, but the Legendary thing hit me like a stealth bomber at night while I was sleeping in a soundproofed room with no windows and I'd been drugged with Rohypnol.
In other words, didn't see it coming _________________

I know what you mean mate coz I rented it expecting it to be dreadful, not so much due to reviews, more due to their last game "Turning Point".
As I said to the wife, 5 years ago it would have been a 10/10 game but it doesn't stand up against the games of today but as a straight forward story based shooter I enjoyed it.
Maybe it's the retro factor but I feel most people reviewed to after playing things like GoW2, Far Cry 2 and Fable 2 and so were in that Blockbuster mentality which it certainly is not. _________________
