Another Disney game from my childhood, this one being a top-down adventure game with RPG elements.

As far as gameplay goes, it's fine. It's basic RPG, and there's nothing wrong with that. My only issue with it is that the level scaling is a bit strange or I couldn't grasp it, because each mission has a limited number of enemies so you can't properly grind for tougher enemies on later missions, although the game grants you xp for solving puzzles, completing objectives and by simply finishing the mission. This can be a problem because it slows down the growth curve of your characters and certain enemies become a chore to beat, although this can be remedied by using offensive items such as asteroids and the special stones, and it also forces the player to improvise strategies. For example, I was able to whittle down the hp of a bigger and tougher enemy with Zini's rock throw, and later I switched to Aladar to finish it off with stronger but slower attacks.

Speaking of, the combat is also basic, with two options for attacks with two out of the three playable characters. It's hard to avoid getting hurt while fighting enemies, so you have to time your attacks well. You can also strafe around them to keep your distance before attacking. However, certain enemies are damage sponges, and it may become boring to fight them unless you have stones for a special attack which does a good amount of damage, or simply use a fiery asteroid item.

What made this game fun to me was the teamwork aspect. Each character has their own weaknesses and strengths; you can use Flia to scout ahead, or use Zini to climb up platforms and find inaccessible items or lure enemies into a trap, and Aladar can break things to open new paths. I would be lying if I said I wasn't satisfied whenever I got to complete objectives with these characters.

Other minor criticisms would be the music, which is very ambient-like but isn't anything remarkable, and some of the dino models show their age. Kron's boss fight was also a minor headache; it took me a few loss lives, wasting all my special power stones and lots of asteroids to beat him. That was really annoying.

Any other complaints? Well... I guess dino enthusiasts may not like how inaccurate the dinosaurs are in the game? But that doesn't really matter to me; the good outweighs the bad in Disney's Dinosaur.

A childhood classic finally completed after my PS1 broke. And it's as I remembered, a fun, surprisingly good game adaptation of the classic movie.

The PC version, however, isn't as good as the PS1 version.
The controls feel a little slower compared to the PS1 version, there are issues with the sfx, and I ran into a bug while fighting Zurg, though that was fixed by downloading a quick-fix online. The cleaner visuals, compared to the jittery PS1 graphics, feel like a downgrade to me.

However, despite these issues, my experience was generally good. I played this game so much as a kid, and I'm glad I got back to it after all these years.

I also finished it when I couldn't finish it back in the day. Cheers.

I LOVE playing this game. It's really fun to play; its mechanics are unique, and the sound design is top notch.

The Darkness II is FUN.

But it's way too short. I clocked the main story at four hours when I finished it.

But worst of all that ending was bullshit. I really hated it. For the longest time I didn't want to play the game again just because of it. It almost ruined my experience, especially now that the game never got a sequel nor downloadable content,

I guess the Vendettas are a consolation? They're kind of fun at least.

A massive improvement over almost everything from the previous game. Almost.

The story from the 1rst game blooms here, and you can freely explore Zenosoic however you want. The world looks gorgeous, and it's enhanced by the art direction of this game. There is a multiplayer mode, but I haven't gotten the chance to play it with a friend.

However, the voice acting here is as weak as it was in the 1rst Zeno Clash, and often the low voices are overwhelmed by the music and sounds even if you lower the music volume. There's also the occasional glitch here and there, which can be a little annoying.

The highlight of Zeno Clash is the gameplay, without a doubt. I played this game some five times and that's the best part of the game. It's easy to grasp but somewhat hard to master, and I'd like to try harder difficulties to see how good I can get with it.

The story, well, it's not bad but it's lacking, but it's compensated and heightened by the weird but gorgeous landscapes that I wish I could've explored more, which I got to in the next game.

I recommend playing this game, but you have to also play the 2nd game if you want to get a bigger and better feel of the story and its world.

(I'm doing an off-memory review of this game.)

I know this is the first Uncharted game, but it didn't age so well, especially against its sequels. The combat is fun but parts of it aren't very good, and some of the later enemies are very spongy on top of being fast, which got me killed many times.

It goes without saying, the final boss is just bad. Disappointing, clunky, and I finished it lickety split. There's nothing much to add to what others have said about it other than it's disappointing all around. It almost ruined the experience of the game for me. Almost.

There's still some good in this game, and I guess it has some nostalgic value to it, but it doesn't compel me to go back to play it. I don't like "movie-like" games that much as well.

Metal Slug Anthology review series entry #1:

You can't go wrong with a classic like Metal Slug X. This was my first introduction to the franchise when I was 12 and only had a PS1 with this, The Lion King Game, and Toy Story 2. I'd play it to the end in one sitting, because I couldn't save the game, and thanks to Metal Slug Anthology, now I can, which allowed me to save my progress midway through yesterday so i could finish it today.

I always loved this game, even if I I always end up with my fingers aching after the final boss. I can't think of a flaw, outside of maybe a nitpick with the regular enemies at the end taking too many shots to die.

Metal Slug X is the hard type of way that I like, one that challenges you to stand up again and keep on fighting, and I'd say the franchise as a whole is a staple of run 'n' gun games everywhere. It's fun, challenging, a total riot to play, and it's so satisfying to blow things up using the assorted arsenal the game has to offer.

I'm very late to the Halo franchise, but now that I've got ahold of the Master Chief Collection and got to play Halo: Combat Evolved, I can see why this game was so influential and why it meant a lot for a generation of gamers.

I don't know what else I could add to what has already been said, other that the gameplay is really tight, the enemy AI is refreshingly smart, and the vehicle mechanics are great.

Except at the final escape. I either suck at driving the Warthog in tight spaces or the controls are too slippery. Either way, I can't wait to play the next game.
