Not sure how this game was ever reviewed so well. While I enjoyed the story and Peter's quibs the game play is horrendous. There is no camera control and it controls like a boat. I know I beat this as a child but I rage quite as an adult. The symbiote enemies in particular got to me. You do almost no damage, they can interrupt your "combos" and kill you in four hits. A gameplay loop of punch/kick three times and then jump away (sometimes being swiped out of the air) is just incredibly unfun. Maybe I am spoiled by contemporary game design but even with save states I couldn't hack this game. Did not live up to the nostalgia.

A really fun little game. It does feel like a nice Jak & Daxter offshoot. I find Daxter funny so I was laughing the whole time, but if you don't like his comic relief you wont like him as the main character. I particularly enjoyed how this slotted in perfectly between Jak 1 and Jak 2 story wise. From the plot to the little bug style metal heads it was great. The dream sequences are also a hoot, its great to see how Daxter imagines himself, and they even give you little life bonuses tool. I do think the pacing is a little weird, it just kind of ramps up and ends without much notice. I'm sure there are several more hours of game play if you really want to collect all the precursor orbs but I'm not trying to 100% games anymore.

Even better than chains of olympus. A little longer at just under 6 hours to beat on normal. The environments were way better. Rain effects and magna were highlights. Still only two weapons but they were fun. New interesting enemies as well. The story itself is much better told as well. This one also takes after god of war 3 with way more gory and messed up scenes. Literally the shorter length is again the only thing holding this back from a 5 star game. What you get is near perfect, I just wanted more.

Beyond the story this final act wasn't quite as engaging as the The Ancient Gods Part 1. I think the environments for this one just fell a little flat for me. The abandoned forts and over technofied hell just didn't do it for me. However, the pay off of finally finishing the story was well worth it.

The new demons are fine. Again they are a little more annoying than interesting in most cases (buffing enemies or debuffing you) which is a shame. I did enjoy the new platforming element involving the shotgun grappling hook, that was clever.

I ended up starting and playing this through on easy given my experience with Part 1. This made it much more enjoyable and allowed me to focus more on the enemy/environmental designs than I'd had time to before.

Overall it is a great conclusion to this story arc of DOOM.

More Doom Eternal is a good thing! Halfway through I did end up turning the difficulty down to easy. Real slog fest of a level just wasn't fun after replaying it 5 times for 20 minutes before getting killed right at the end.

I generally liked the new levels. Great design and really cool style. Gotta say the new enemies were more annoying than engaging, particularly the ghosts. If it wasn't for the excessive difficulty and generally annoying new enemies I would have given it 5 stars. However ultimately I enjoyed it a ton and am loving the lore/story.

This game is a classic. Re-playing it on the PSP Lious gave me for Christmas really hit me in the nostalgia.

It really is just a classic god of war game on a portable. Great graphics (close to PS2), phenomenal sound, environments, animations and gameplay. Literally nothing in the game to complain about (minus the adolescent sex mini game lol).

My only critique is that it is too short. I beat the whole game (all weapons maxed out) in under 5 hours. That just isn't long enough. Made it feel more like a tech demo honestly. I know it's a handheld game but at least 10 hours is what I expect from a triple A game like this. Real bummer given how great the actual content it.

Phenomenal game. Really love the flow that you get into with the game loop of kill demon for ammo/health, focus on big guy, kill demon for ammo/health, focus on big guy, and repeat. Did get stuck on one section were the combo of environment and demon types just killed me. However, generally it wasn't too hard to get through. Honestly the final boss was a little disappointing. Also love the lore and general tone of the game. Literally everything is turned up to 11. Also the weight of Doom Guy and his arsenal is just perfect. It is a joy to play this game.

Classic game I've always wanted to play. I wasn't aware of it's play style, just the world. But I wasn't disappointed. You guide Abe around in a 2d world with prerendered 3D backgrounds. He is very weak and dies to everything. So essentially you are playing a puzzle game where you die when you're wrong. Really loved the graphics and environments. Of course the anticapitalist story apealled to me as well.

The age of the game does come through in places. It uses a check point system that is very challenging, sending you way back when you mess up. Playing on the RP3 I could avoid this with save states, but without this convenience Im almost certainly I wouldn't have finished the game or gotten very far at all. That being said I couldn't get enough of the smooth controls and general comedy. This is worth a play, but my god do you need save states.

Played this on my RP3. Took about 12 hours total. Very happy some folks were able to create an English translation patch for this game that was never localized here. I don't play many point and click adventures so it is hard for me to judge the gameplay. Generally I liked it. Some of the action scenes involving bombs and guns got a little tiring as they tended to ramp up in challenge and then restart you quite a bit further back.

The plot itself was interesting enough. Lots of the twists and turn were pretty obvious tbh. However the acting and cinematics were a real treat. Love this animation style.

Clearly Kojima was in love with Mell Gibson as the main character Jonathan is a carbon copy of him. His partner Ed being a facsimile of Murdoc. That being said I think that the character development was actually quite good. There are some charming scenes, particularly eating dinner at Ed's house. While you will have to get through the perverted parts, they aren't that often and don't distract too much.

For anyone that likes point and click adventures, 80s scifi or buddy cop films, and/or Kojima this is worth your time.
