Beautiful graphics! The gameplay was awesome too! You can jump, roll, slam, duck, swim, climb, bounce, swing, float, fly, and more! With a partner on your back you gain two more hearts and gain a special ability, attack, and screen clear which would kill all enemies on screen and replace them with something useful. The world's were unique! Autumn Heights, Bright Savannah, and juicy jungle with juice and jello! There were also some classic worlds; sea breeze cove with water levels but also wind to deal with! Lost Mangroves was the first and it had all the classic elements plus some amazing surprises with the environment! Drop down platforms, vines, hanging from grass above! Then the final world is all fost which changes how bouncing platforms work and adds breaking platforms, and more.

There are also many special levels that do something really surprising but only in that one level. There's a Sea breeze Cove level that's underwater as usual, but then it's dark and you can only see silhouettes of everything! There's a Savannah level that is jumping across animal puppet heads that is awesome! There's jello to bounce through in one level in Juicy Jungle, there's a blizzard level with fast paced platforming in the final world(Donkey Kong Island) which is frozen over by the bad guys. There's falling leaves to platform across in Autumn Heights. A fire starts in Bright Savannah! There's an octopus to contend with in Sea Breeze Cove! A factory with chopping and spikey berry picking to dodge through in Juicy Jungle! Tornados in Brights Savannah! A sawmill to kart and boat through in Autumn Heights!

There are also amazing bosses! They all require you to memorize their move sets! They are all different animals just like previous Donkey Kong Country games! There a seal that slides and throws fish, an owl that swoops and throws feathers and strong wind your way, three baboons that a so much fun to face co-op!! and will swing and bomb in many ways, a pufferfish that.... sucks and blows both literally and figuratively.. I hate this boss... He puffs up so large you can barely avoid him!, a polar bear that swings a hammer and flings ice in many forms!, and I Walrus that charges you and uses ice and lava! He fires ice squids and lifts lava, and shoots ice dragons!! He also requires you to throw enemies at him as he tries to avoid and it's hilarious!

There were a few annoying things like the game doesn't explain well that you can clear all of the enemies on the screen by pressing L or R. I didn't use it the whole game because I didn't know about it until the end. Also it doesn't explain that you need to continuous press X or Y or make the rino run! That caused a lot of deaths. These were minor and didn't cause too much trouble overall. The ability to visit the shop and buy lives helped make up for this so much!

Besides these things there's also mine Cart levels, rocket riding levels, rino riding levels, and barrel blasting levels in each world!

The most fun part of the whole game is the co-op with my 6 year old. She loves gaming with me and we had so much fun playing this game together as she learns to play and we laugh together!!

Great precursor to the GTA games I know and love. I loved the funny radio stations, the health an shields being floating pickups was nostalgic, the varied missions from escort missions to kill missions, to races, to robbery. The Italian mob story was cool but then there's a twist and then your working for Yakuza. The old graphics reminded me of being a kid and the simple controls too. There were some janky parts due to the age of the game and I got hung up on the last mission to fight through many enemies with low health after being ambushed. Finally shooting down that chopper and watching credits rolls was great though! I loved the cars, the city, the weapons, the boats, the payphones! I hated the sound of the damn drawbridge, the inaccurate shooting, and the old control scheme. Other than that though this was awesome!

This was a great game. There where stealth mechanics, sword and shield combat, puzzles, ocean navigation, secrets galore, so many movement mechanics with missions for them, memorable bosses and enemies, and great soundtrack!! The story was good too! That being said I had to rely on an online guide for nearly the entire second half of the game! I know it's an old game, but man some parts I would never have figured out! Like gannons sword falling in the direction your supposed to go next, or how the F to find the chart for the ghost ship, or how to understand that chart, or where to find the damn Joy Pendants, or to know that these little joy pendant missions were actually going to lead me to a triforce fragment, the whole tinkle chart, and triforce shard part was meh. I liked the fish that filled your map for food, it was cool seeing beetle ( I know him only from Breath of the Wild), I loved the skeletal insect boss, the the sand snake boss, well all of them really. The ghost one was easy but fun. The characters where corny but still fun. The temples were so different and fun. The god temple with reflecting light, the rock temple and controlling the Korak!! The wind temple had you controlling a flying character. The Forsaken Fortress with the spotlights and wall skimming was cool. The deku tree and the forbidden woods, the tower of the gods.I love the swinging on light fixtures, the ship being a character was awesome, the orchestral patterns to use magic was very cool! I didn't realize for the longest time you could expand your Rupee bag, and I always had the max(500 rupees) so doing side stuff didn't matter because the reward was more rupees. Once I visited the fairies and expanded it though I started doing side things, expanding my map, and exploring. The story with the pirates was pretty cool, I liked the hide and seek game you do at Windfall Island. This game had so much character! The ending was a lot of fun too. Great writing, colorful, goofy, good music, good times. Just wish I could have nixed the damn online guide. Still a great experience!

This game was a fun change of pace from GTA. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Dialog, radio songs, business names, game mechanics all made me laugh at times. The main missions were a fun mix of mission types, character development, and over the top story telling. From prison breakout, to gang fights, to team building exercises, to rescue missions and more. There was always a tank to blow up the city with, a car to shoot from the roof from, a train to assault, a government official to hang from a magnet under a helicopter! The side missions were designed as business ventures. As you completed them you gained money to unlock more business ventures, making you feel like you were really building up an empire. These missions ranges from nuclear waste disposal truck driving, photographing hidden materials, to robbing food trucks, and getting hit by traffic to explode vehicles and ragdoll a chain of accidents for insurance fraud. Then there are the counties. Each one has threats to kill, discoveries to find, stores to shop, and side hussles(mini-missions) to complete. These where fun for awhile but became too tedious before I could complete half of the counties. These also hired-gun work on the wanted app on your in-game phone. This game has a ton of customization as well. You can customize your character, your clothes, vehicles and helicopters, your weapons strength and appearance, your headquarters and more along with mini objectives to unlock more of these or vehicle and weapon abilities. The characters are unique and funny although sometimes quite corny. This is a great game that deserves more credit!

Amazing graphics! Great gunslinger gameplay. Rich story and side missions. Upgrading your camp is fun. Shopping in a store and picking up items from the shelf was mind blowing! Gun shop customization with a mission to introduce it, bar fights, gambling, hoarse riding. You can even shop for your hoarse! There's clothes shopping, hunting, photography, random encounters that are all unique, and much more. Not to mention the incredible story! You can't help but have a little faith. The attention to detail is incredible in this game. The voice acting is great. The towns are all so unique and historically accurate. The ending is good and is the best outcome for these characters. This is a must play!

My first RPG. This introduced me to my favorite genre of video games. The story is one of the best I have ever played. The dragonborn shouts are unique and add so much to this experience. The skill tree make the game different every time! The skill based leveling adds specialization. The amazing armor and weapon variants you can find and forge are so beautiful! Enchantments and enchanting are both surprising and interesting. Potions can make you deadly or invincible of you know the recipe and can forage the ingredients. The inventory management is even fun! The characters bring the world alive! The shops are filled with people who shop or own the shop who open their stores at their own hours. Owning houses let's you become a part of that town. You can take a partner and adopt kids or even build a house if you have the DLC. The dragon quest line is so full of fantasy goodness. The civil war story is full of military and history fun. Watch out not to become a vampire or warewolf, and don't mess with the giants unless you would like a beautiful arial view of Skyrim. The many races and types in the games build an amazing world. The magic system brings out your imagination in a fantastic fantasy world. Collect dragon bones and forge dragon armor if you become the best forger. Or you could become the best lockpick or sneak or you could become the best axe weilder or the best at speachcraft and get the best prices or intimidate your foes or entice your lovers. There is so much to this beautiful game and it's many cities and dungeons that I can't mention it all! Amazing experience every playthrough!

My favorite game of all time. The art style is beautiful, the gameplay is captivating, the music is amazing! The sense of discovery in this game changed what I look for in video games. Every rock, every hill, every area brings new challenges. The korak seeds keep you always searching for puzzles. The combat variation and breaking weapon system keeps you always seeking to improve. (Here's looking at you lionals.) The difference in the areas creates unique experiences everywhere you go. From deserts dressed as a lady, to the forest flying in the sky, to the volcano trying not to burn, to the tundra trying not to freeze. The lightning strikes have you rushing to drop all your metal gear and run! The gathering will have you attempting to become a master chef. The ninjas will have you guessing who is real and who is an enemy! Hoarses are beautiful and fun! The shrines will challenge you with puzzles or combat or both! They will make you use all of the awesome abilities you get throughout the game. The towns feel loved in and the people and conversations you have are charming. From a task to gather chickens to a duo telling you about a treasure nearby to an arrow to gather near a tough lional forcing you to sneak. The traveling merchant it quirky, the scientist is crazy, the old woman is wise, and so many more interactions! The fairies, the labyrinths, the ancient ruins, the enemy variations. This game is fun for every second and will keep you surprised until the credits roll!

Fun spin on COD formula. Jetpacks in multiplayer and Nazi Zombies adds some needed variation. The campaign has very good graphics for 2014 and a good story. The DLC Nazi Zombie maps were much better than the release map. Although the contaminated rooms mechanic was too much chaos for my liking. Multiplayer was polished and fun. This is the first and last game I bought the Gold Edition for ($120). It did add a lot of new content that was well made, but it's not worth doubling the price tag. I did enjoy the Zombie maps for a long time with my wife though.

Great remaster of Paradise. This game takes all the great modes of the old burnout games and puts it into an open world to explore. Stunt Runs were fun to string stunts together, classic races are still the highlight of the fun, marked man has you races to the end with enemy vehicles trying to take you down, and was interesting but too easy to outsmart the Ai, and Road Rage is just as good as it has always been. Taking down as many enemies as possible is satisfying and fun! Road Rules has you races against the best online time on a specific long road. It can be fun, but for the most part is forgettable. This Remaster gives you all DLC cars from the original game. Don't use these in the early game as they are over powered, but are great fun in end game!
