The game itself is pretty easy and the single player game exhaustion occurs somewhat quicker than desired. But what makes up for that is the multiplayer game. You can have up to four people play in one arena, unlike the single player mode. Also you have control over what items come up and how often, or even at all. This is key in this game because it allows the player to keep playing the game because there is no limit on how good you can get at it. This allows for two very talented player posed against each other, or a team of three vs one amazing player.Fri, 23 Feb 2007 18:07:02 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1426&iddiary=3062Super Smash Brothers (N64) - Fri, 23 Feb 2007 14:36:04https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1426Super Smash Brothers adds original ideas and game play to a classic melee genre. The hand to hand fighting is still present but with a different opjective. Usually the player must defeat an opponent by hitting them until their health is diminished. In this game the objective is to knock the player off the battle arena. You can theoritically knock another player off at any time but the challenge is to hit the player enough times so that his life percentage to at least around 100%, doing this makes the player seem lighter and easy to knock off the edge. This game is especially rewarding because the variety of characters, each of whom has their own fighting style and moves. Also, the emplimentation of weapons allows for more randomness and chaos. The levels are also developed very well and offers a level for each character, which illustrates their game or story backround.Fri, 23 Feb 2007 14:36:04 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1426&iddiary=3010Mario Kart (Wii) - Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:36:29https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1098Once beating all the race sets and becoming familiar with the levels the game kind of loses its charm. But it is still fun to due time trials and trying to find short cuts with in the levels. This is where you should start playing multiplayer. A lot of people boast about how good they are at mario kart, this gives the player the chance to but their money where there mouth is. Both race battle modes are available to play with the multiplayer option. The battle mode is especially fun, its a tense rivalry between friends, in the multi-room/multi-level battle fields. You use the same weapons as the races but the object is to succesfully hit the opponent three times. And the last one still moving wins. This feature adds limitless variation of each gameplay, which sets this game apart from the other racing games in your collection.Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:36:29 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1098&iddiary=2363Mario Kart (Wii) - Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:00:45https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1098Mario kart is a fun unrealistic go-kart challenge. The object is to race other nintendo characters to gain win points and after four races the top three racers get trophies of bronze silver and gold. The game offers 4 different race sets conisisting of 4 seperate race tracks, each ranging in difficulty. These levels are beatifully constructed. They represent various locations of other nintendo game, ranging from DKs jungle to, Bowsers castle. They also have wonderfully created schemes of other fantasy tracks, such as rainbow road or the various snow tracks. I found that each character varies in their abilities of top speed, sensitivity of turns, and whether or not the character is capable of making another character spin out when colliding. The races are challenging in both environmental obstacles and character weaponry. The environtment obstacles range from jumps to things getting thrown at you and also various moving objects juch as trains and animals. The characters can acquire weapons, such as guided shells or ricocheting shells, power boosts and banana peels. These challenges make they game more interactive to certain characters which is fun because if, say, peach is tied in points with you, you can make sure she doesnt win by using these types of weapons.Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:00:45 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1098&iddiary=2345mario 64 (N64) - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 18:22:13https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=836After playing Mario 64 again I started to realize what amazing new innovations the game console opend up. I know think the best thing about Mario 64 is the fantastic worlds they have created. They incompass all sorts of fanasy levels to explore. They range from snow worlds, underwater and sunken ships, ghost worlds, a hell like arena, inside a raging valcano, a top a floating island. I also think Mario is a very good game because of the challenges it poses. The object of the game is to get stars that open locked doors to a bowser level, after completing a bowser leel you get a key that opens another part of peaches castle. So once you have all the keys and defeat the last Bowser you save Peach, Marios girlfriend. I like the way the designers make the player get the stars. You have to either find them or complete a puzzle in order to recieve the star. Further more they give you clues/word puzzle before you enter the level to give a clue as to where the star is or how to obtain it. So this tactic allows the player to use their mind and game skills to do ggod in the game. The one thing that I didnt quite like about the game was that in every level they had a star that was obtained by collecting 8 special red coins. Compared to the other stars in the other levels, this challenge alwasy bored me. I would usually play a level until I go to the coin challenge and move on. Other wise I would recomend this game as a must play.Fri, 19 Jan 2007 18:22:13 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=836&iddiary=1869mario 64 (N64) - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:17:22https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=836Mario is no doubt a classic. From the beginning Nintendo has been cranking out Mario games, but it seems Nintendo out did it self with Mario 64. It was the first game offered for the new 3d capable console. The game is unlike any Mario game imaginable. The first difference I noticed was that, of course, was 3D, and can move in all different directions. The other thing I noticed real fast was the potential for Marios mobility. Instead of getting mushrooms, flowers, capes, etc. they enabled mario with ll kinds of jumps, that can get him in any desirable place. Furthermore I enjoyed the level of interactiveness within the levels. Forinstance Mario can climb trees, poles, jump on skateboard like shells or hang on to birds that swoop him up in the air.Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:17:22 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=836&iddiary=1848Star Wars Battlefront 2 (PS2) - Fri, 12 Jan 2007 14:04:12https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=590Battlefront is a team shooter game that uses a Star Wars format for the characters, worlds and story. Like Halo, Battlefront offers has very responsive gameplay. This action shooter alllows you to roam around vast worlds from the Star Wars Episodes 1-6 such as Naboo, Hoth, Endor, Jabbas Palace. You can play the campaign mode with the rebels, empire, republic, or CIS. Or choose to take on a friends and choose three modes of multiplayer action. I think this is a very good game. It offers lots of visual stimuation. Not only are the worlds expansive, detailed, and reminiscent of the classic movies that everyone has falen in love with on time or another, but is also chaotic and intense. My favorite part of the game, the reason why I am writing about it today is its incentive to kick ass. If you do good and are the first to kill ten people you get to play as the hero of that level. Depending on what side you play with (rebels, empire etc..) you get to be a hero or villain (darth maul, luke skywalker, vader etc, etc.). The game offers all the powers these characters have in the game. These characters are also much faster and allow for an amazing sense of flow. It only takes one blow from a lightsaber to kill someone, so raking up a high kill count in a short time is no diffcult task. Although the game is not very innovative in its game play, the fact is it doesnt really need to be. It is quite functional and wasnt trying to reinvent the shooting action type game it is. It was bringing a really good concept for a video game and mixing it with starwars and giving all kinds of options to play. I understand I my be blinded a little bit by the fact that its starwars and if it wasnt it probably wouldnt hold my attention for as long as it did. But nevertheless the game did its job and quite well might I add. So I would surely recommend this game to anyone whos ever enjoyed starwars.Fri, 12 Jan 2007 14:04:12 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=590&iddiary=1396
