A feast of repetition

Now my title suggest that this game isn't any good. This of course, is just another GTA with fancier graphics, which, isn't a bad thing. The mission line up is just so damn repetitive that it sucks the fun right out of the game. Don't get me wrong, running around causing chaos is just as fun as ever, but sadly alot of the unique weapons are missing. No more katans or chainsaws. This game only uses much more conventional weapons.

Graphics: Not anything to make you gasp over, but it is a significant boost for the GTA series. Highly detailed environments with so much going on that it feels real. It can be a little dark in some areas though.

Sound: great voice acting with some hilarious lines. Tons of little noises everywhere that make the city come to life.

Gameplay: Classic GTA, which unfortunately, is repetition over and over. It's fun,until about the half way mark in which you realize you've been doing the same thing the entire game. Online can be a blast multplayer.

Story: It can be engaging at times, but it's iffy at points. It's mainly Niko trying to make a living in America and get rid of his life of crime, but he just can't seem to stop killing.

Overall: I give it a 3/5. It's fun while it lasts, but damn it's repetitive.

Awesome, to my suprise!

I borrowed this game from my cousin, expecting it to be another next gen letdown to the RPG genre. It's actually quite fun. The story center around Capel, a young flute player who happens to look like a warrior named Sigmund. I won't reveal anything more about that. Anyways, the Dreadknight and his evil Order of the Chains, have chained up the moon and it is causing sickness and disease all over the world. Sigmund, the Liberator, is thought to be the only man to be able to break these chains, and Capel get mixed up with him, simply because they look alike.

Graphics: Nothing Special. Hardly takes advantage of thre 360, but is detailed and colorful enough to be pleasing to the eye.

Sound: The music is wonderful, as you'd expect from a Square Enix game. The voice acting is good too, but it's so annoying when half the cutscenes in the game don't use voiceovers and you have to read text instead while the characters move their mouths.

Gameplay: Battle system is very action oriented. You press all the attack buttons yourself like an action game. Your party members usually do their own thing, but you can set them up to act a certain way. Some battles you can have 12 people on your side fighting at once!

Overall: A solid RPG, worth checking out without a doubt!

Big letdown

I hyped this game from the day I saw the screens. I mean come on, a medieval game where you play as a badass assassin! Yes please! The game kept looking better and better with each preview. Then the game came out.....I rushed to the store and slapped down $60 after hyping it and reading all of the positive reviews. What I got was the most boring, repitive game I've played in years. The environments blew me away initially. This made the game appear to be fun for about a day. The graphics really are as beautiful as they say. The audio, isn't bad, but nor is it exceptional. The controls can be a little frustrating, but work smoothly for the most part. Combat itself, is rather dull, and quickly turns into the same thing again and again. Anyways, the core gameplay is fun. I mean, tracking down a leader and then assassinating him. Unfortunately, it never changes lol Just a different face for each leader. After I killed the 4th guy, I put the controller down, feeling as if I have seen all it has to offer and I haven't played it since. And don't get me started on the horrible side quests. Collect all the flags....how basic. Anyways, this game a no where near worth my $60 and it is just a boring game that I may never finish.

Brilliiant!

I wasn't much for the Wii when it came out, but this game really is something. I mean I could replay it over and over and it's still fantastic. The colorful world comepletly captivates the heart and soul. This game is gorgeous, I don't care if it's the Wii or not. The gameplay is so addictive in fun you can't stop. I really like the upside down gravity as wel. The level are well varied, with levels from space junkyards to water raceways. You can't miss this amazing gamw!
