Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock 9 out of 1o Rated T
This series of games I can't really compare to any of the other games I've reviewed. The only thing you can really compare it to is itself and Rockband. Guitar Hero 3 is a good step up from the last. There are some new added features and new types of ways to play. I really enjoyed playing this game. This game is not like real guitar though. I know this because I play Bass Guitar.
The thing that really blew me away was the new part of campaign. Every few setlist you will have to play a guitar battle against a world famous rocker. In this "battle" you will both switch of on amazing riffs until the end in which you automatically lose. To make the opponent mess up you have to earn Battle stars. This is basically star power except you get some sort of a power up. You use these in the same sort of way as star power (by lifting the guitar's neck end up). The battles do take sometime. They can get pretty frustrating. You will face 3 different guitar masters in battles throughout the Career mode. The Rockers are Tom Morello, Saul "Slash" Hudson, and Lou. This Battle is also a game mode in two player.
The Career is pretty good. You travel around preforming shows. There are small cutscenes in which the characters never speak. Most and if not all the songs are not from the 21st century. Most of the song are from the 90's and the 80's. The career is nothing special. The career mode really is just playing new songs. One of the things I like is that there is more well known songs than 1 and 2. The game is great because of the widespread difficulty levels that it has. The game also lets you choose out of a good amount of characters. The game doesn't really change in the way you playt it more just it gets harder (that's what she said) and the songs change. The campaign just can't really be hated on.
The Multiplayer is ok. The game really doen't change except for that you can replay a song now and work on others. The multiplayer doesn't vary from the campaign. I actually find it more fun to play multiplayer. Why you may ask, well I'll tell you. This way I don't have to play the songs I don't like. But, you do have to play the career once through to unlock the songs.
The Rundown:
Pros
-Easy
-Difficulty levels change gradually
-Fun
-Entertaining
Cons
-Not like real Guitar
-Not much varation in game play

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus 8 out of 10
Sly is a great game... considering the time it was made. The game was made in 2002. If you compared it to the games today it would be horrible, 4 out of 10. I can't do that though because that would be extremely unfair. It doesn't have great animation. It is definitely more of a children's game. It has a very simple minded game play. Just sneak around and knock out the guards to get a key to unlock something important. I think the animators were a little to lock and key based.
Sly obviously only has a campaign. The campaign is great though. A good amount of hours are put into it which is a relief. The campaign consist of sly trying to steal back his family's guide to becoming a great thief. The guide was stolen by 5 people. So the story line is sly is trying to steal back the pages with his friends. You obviously travel to there terrain and then steal a few minor things. Finally you face a boss in which he gets really strong and you run away for a bit and then he runs out of energy and then you try to deal damage to them. Its repetition. Its a really simple game. For me the controls are some what difficult but that's because I'm used to first person. The controls are fairly simple though. The only bad thing is the age and how much the game repeats itself. Also some of the levels and boss battles can be extremely frustrating. I really think its a pretty good game. It definitely doesn't have the game modes to compare to the modern games. The Campaign I think would really do great against modern campaign in a judging. So here is the rundown.
Pros
-Great Campaign
-Kid Friendly
-Just all around Fun
-Great for the time period it made
Cons
-A lot of repetition
-Frustrating

MAG
MAG 6 out of 10 Rated T
MAG I don't really love and I don't dislike it either. Its sort of good. There is only one game play. Unlike other one game play games its not only campaign its only online. It is 100% more like real warfare than call of duty or other war based games. I think it really lack some of the important keys to making a good online game. Mag has no variety in maps at all from what I have played. You have one map for suppression which for me get annoying. You have to join 1 of 3 teams at the beginning. The only thing that they tell you about the teams are what backgrounds the people come from. Yeah guys that helps when seeing which team is the most deadly. The game got very boring quick. It really doesn't give the beginners much to start with. You get a horrible gun and long time veterans of the game to play against. You really kind of suck at the beginning. I'm not going to brag but I'm a decent FPS gamer. Even so I couldn't get a kill when I first started. I still can't get very many. Also when you earn a new game play it doesn't explain it at all. Its like you won a new game mode now you figure out how to play it. They aren't even very good graphics either but I won't dwell on it. Also the fact that a sniper can hit from across the map annoys me. Especially since there are no kill cams and the maps are HUGE. So it makes it impossible to kill one.
However the people on MAG are noticeably nicer. I cant count how many friends i made on MAG. This really makes you forget about most of the cons when someone is there right by your side. Another helpful thing is that you can be saved when shot. A medic can heal you but you have to be careful. The more time your lying there the more time your team is down a player. So don't bleed out if there are medics nearby. That my friend is the most annoying thing you can do.
All in all, The game isn't great but i wouldn't not recommend it. Only for the PS3. So here is the run down.
Pros
-Friendly Users
-Medic Ability
-More war like
-Rating
Cons
-Snipers Invincibility
-Not GREAT Graphics
-Hard to Begin
-NO CAMPAIGN!
- NO INSTRUCTIONS

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Dear Followers,
9.8 out of 10
I know everyone has heard about the game Modern Warfare 2. This game to me really sets an example of what a first person shooter should be like. In my opinion it had a good campagin. Everyone whines about how short the campagin is. I would agree but that isn't what you should only base your review on. Compared to other games I would have to say that the campagin is great. Yes it may be short but it was great. The cutscenes are great and the story really comes together. I would however recommened that you play the first modern warfare before this. Its not neccesary but it really helps towards the end of the story. So all in all the Campagin is short but sweet.
The new Special Ops mode is pretty fun and is a great new feature made by Infinite Ward. Itnreally adds some playing time. This in my in my opinion makes up for the short campagin. It has some similar missions and some totally new ones. So its sort of like a non story telling campagin. I would recommened playing with a friend. If you don't have a friend over just find someone online with the special ops online feature. So in someways its a co-op campagin. I don't play it as much. However don't ignore this great feature because I don't play it regulary. This is a great way if your stuck on a misssion on campagin to practice so you can pass the level the next time. so use this mode to your advantage.
I probably play on this multiplayer the most. It goes from Splitscreen (2-4 players) to online (2-18 players. This is my favorite because its the easiest to play with friends. If they're over at your house then you can play splitscreen and battle it out over many maps. If they're sick and they can't come over you can play with them online. Now there is also a new added feature that allows you to "create your own class." This feature allows your to choose your Primary weapon, your secondary weapon, equiptment (Frag, Semtex, etc.), Special grenade and special abilities like infinite running and other helpful things. I recently have been playing a lot of multiplayer because you get to rank up and earn new weapons. It has a few glitches that annoy me but nothing huge. The lag ( When someone has bad internet and cause the people to movements to be broken up) is pretty annoying. All in all a great gameplay that really entertains.
You may notice that there is a new map pack ( A set of maps that doesn't come with the game) out. This map pack is some what good and adds a new variety to the game. I bought it I don't like some of the maps but there worth buying. They get better as you get to know them. The Map Pack includes 3 new maps and 2 past highly enjoyed maps. So it more matters on personal prefrence.
I would definitley recommened buying this game. It is continuous fun for a long time. If you are looking for a good shooter game I think this will show what to look for. I also am happy to say that it is for the PS3 and the XBOX 360. Thanks for reading! Please spread the word of the blog.
