Review a game in one sentence

[Kif]

I slightly stole this from Destructoid, but that's OK, since they stole it from SA.

The idea of the thread is simple; You review a game you've played recently in one sentence. Say what needs to be said about the game, and cut out all the BS. Try not to make sentences too long either. When I say one sentence, I don't mean a paragraph cut up by commas, colons and dashes.

Here's 2 which I've played recently and thought up pretty much on the spot:

Saint's Row: Blatent GTA rip-off with some of the best features, insanely stereotypical characters and some nice HD graphics to show off too. 8/10 (360)

Dead Rising: The only thing that sets this apart from a video-game zombie-owning Dawn Of The Dead is the crappy AI survivors and toy lightsabers. 9/10 (360)

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Half-life 2 - Best FPS since HL1.

[Zakath]

Dead Rising: Kickass. 9.5/10

MotoGP '06: Kneedraggin' Kickass on two wheels. 9/10

[Serpento]

The Urbz: God made this as the original WMD. 1/10

Sonic Rush: Fast and fun with great 2D/3D blending and a catchy soundtrack. 7.5/10

Burnout Revenge: Longer and much better looking than its predecessors, but feels a bit rushed at times. 9/10

[Dropsonde]

FEAR - Uh oh

[evaworcim]

cave story - robot tries to save furry things, results varied. 10/10

Oblivion: beautiful graphics, wonderful interface; shame it lacks the depth of morrowind

[MrConeman]

Street Fighter 2 Turbo: The single greatest fighting game ever created, if you disagree you're gay. 10/10

FFVII: One of the finest RPG's I've ever played, a fantastic story, a game that really immerses you in the world of the story, 10/10

Legacy of Kain Blood Omen: The best voice acting in a game, ever (okay so maybe MGS could challenge that), extreme fun, blood, gore, vampires, good story. 10/10

one of my favorite games ever, although the storyline was more along the lines of "wtf" even after seeing advent children.

I agree kinda. I've been playing the game since 1997, y'know, alot of replaying and that, from replaying ALOT I understand it alot more than a few plays would get you, it can be quite hard to follow with all the side stuff, but I've also read ALOT of stuff on the internet that explains some of the shadier stuff, I think I pretty much have a complete understanding of it all now. Definatly one of the best stories I've ever came across, game, book, movie, whatever.

[The Transporter]

i never wanted to beat the first cd because that's when
OMFG SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!

















































































aeris dies.

[Jude]

Master of Orion: Best ****in strategy game ever. 10/10

[Untitled]

Pro Evolution Soccer 5 - Loving it, i wanted a footie game to play and its great. 8/10

[The Transporter]

mario tennis: seeing waluigi's entrance walk is worth playing this game

[British Kid]

Oblivion: beautiful graphics, wonderful interface; shame it lacks the depth of morrowind
i dont see where you're comming from with that. its just as deep as morrowind, IMO.

anyway.....

Prey (360) - Brilliantly innovative shooter with some awesome graphics, and is one of the first "true" next-gen games, even though there are some bad cliches in the game. 9/10

[MattyBlade]

I need some good pc game suggestions with a rating of atleast 'fan-fuckin-tastic'

[La Revolucion]

Superman for the N64: Sucks.

[Zakath]

Chromehounds - If you don't have Live you'll experience something never thought possible.. utter boredom while piloting 80 ton killing machines. With XBL it's quite a fun strategic game. 7/10

[EinzingerIsGod]

Bomberman World for PS1: The only Playstation multi-tap game you will ever need.

[BlastFunk03]

GTA:San Andreas: Damn it feels good to be a gangster. 10/10

[Pop music sucks]

Freakin sucks! Where's the damn laser and homing missiles!? and only 6 levels wtf is that!

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

This one sentence thing is really tough to get to grips with, isn't it? ;)

[unknownsoldier12]

your such an arse pirate Auberge

[CRONITOR]

Silkroad Online- The most fun ive ever had with an mmo.

[Cocaine]

i dont see where you're comming from with that. its just as deep as morrowind, IMO.

anyway.....

I see you've never played morrowind.

Battlefield 2: Imagine Battlefield 1942, now take away all the fun, add 60 years and a cartful of bugs. 6/10

[bradc1988]

Hitman series: Great fun either way you play it; go nuts and kill everyone or go strategically, kill your mark and get away without a trace. 8.5/10

God of War: Brutal, great story too. 9.9/10 -> -0.1 due to its length.

Medal of Honour: Fun series, go kick some German(Frontline)/Japanese(Rising Sun) ***.

Perfect Dark: Best N64 fps since Goldeneye. 9.7/10

I'd do more but ... meh, another time.

[Pop music sucks]

joke, right?







Oblivion is like this veneer of mahogany behind which there is plywood, and morrowind is a tree.

[unknownsoldier12]

worst.analogy.ever

[Jon]

Drug Lord 2 is better than whatever you're playing right now.

[FA]

Guild Wars - Fun until they release expansions that cost 50 bucks a pop.

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

worst.analogy.ever

conceded.

I guess i'm trying to say that behind a swanky extorior oblivion has precious little substance, zero replay value and a really lame plot compared to morrowind

The immersion factor was also logarithmically worse in oblivion (axes are blunt weapons! spears don't exist! the most important man in the dark brotherhood is also head of the mages guild, despite having no magic skills whatsoever!)

[Generic Joshman]

Earthbound: Simply the best RPG ever created.

[unknownsoldier12]

conceded.

You keep saying that, yet no one cares, really. I like Oblivion. 'Nuff said :lol:

[Auberge le Mouton Noir]

I like it to, but i played it to death in 100 hours

I must've given double or triple that to morrowind and still not even joined some of the factions or explored some parts of the map

my comments still stand

[unknownsoldier12]

The game was bulky and sterile. The environments were life-less and the battles when less than engrossing.

lol. my favorite parts of morrowind were missing with melee weapons at point blank range (at low levels) and jumping constantly to boost my acrobat skill.

[unknownsoldier12]

yup, it's the same way in Oblivion

[The Transporter]

i don't care how unskilled you are with any weapon. you are still gonna be able to hit something that is right in front of your face.

[CaptainWaits]

Madden 2007: Not enough differences from '06 to make it very appealing. 7/10
The Warriors: Very fun, beat 'em up game from rockstar. 9/10
Dragon Quest VIII: Arguably one of the best RPG's to be released. 10/10
Metal Gear Solid 3: Amazing stealth survival style of a game. 9.5/10
Hitman 2: Silent Assasin: Quite possibly the best game to be released in this current generation. Brilliant levels and scenarios. 10/10

sterile?

how do you mean?




The animals and forests of oblivion are nice, yeah. But mushrooms do have something going for them, and at least in morrowind if you stumbled upon a deadric ruin you actually had cause to be scared.

[eseer erre]

Age of Mythology: An excellent, low-requirement RTS where you might actually learn something. 9/10
Enter The Matrix: Fun, but no melee weapons, no Neo, and far too short. 7/10.
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent: No match for its predecessor, but fun while it lasts. 6/10.
Soul Calibur 2: Awesome. 10.1/10
James Bond: Everything or Nothing: This is what a 007 game should be. (Maybe From Russia With Love is Better, I don't know) 9/10.
Warcraft 3: Decent, but it gets old sometimes. 8/10.
Advent Rising: Excellent music. (I hope to play it someday...)
The Matrix: Path of Neo: If it weren't for the shiny box, I'd be playing Advent. (If it weren't for the DVD-ROM, I'd be playing it.)
Unreal 2004: Really nifty, although a little graphic at times. 8.5/10.
Deus Ex: Perfection. 10^10/10.

[Meatplow]

Super Metroid - It's super, thanks for asking.
