Dragons Dogma Review

Review On Dragon's Dogma

 

Dragon's Dogma is a fantasy, action role-playing video game, developed and published by Capcom. The game is made for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The video game was first released in North America on May 22, 2012. Dragon's Dogma involves single and multiplayer combat.

 

The game Dragon's Dogma is a game mainly for players that enjoy playing fantasy and scientific games, for example Skyrim. Skyrim reminds me of Dragon's Dogma because of the combat fighting, being able to design your own characters and being able to get better armour and weapons. I find that what kind of difficulty you are playing on, determines the fun you are having playing the game. For example, if you are really good at these games, then you don’t want to play on a beginner, you would play on hard difficulty to make it more exciting. I find this game fun to play due to the big boss levels; fighting dragons’ and other weird mystical creatures. Also the change in difficulty, so I can change to what I think is best for me. For the fun factor I would give the game an 8/10.

 

The games controls are really important when playing a game, if they are very complex the player will struggle playing and may not be able to play it properly.  The gameplay in this game is made up of building and designing you own characters and battling goblins, beasts and dragons. I found the controls to be very simple and easy to use and the gameplay was a bit boring but I liked making my own characters. I would give controls and gameplay on the game an 8/10

 

Graphics are important, the better the graphic the better the game. If the game has good graphics it seems more realistic, example showing the bullet hole into what ever you have shot. I found when playing Dragon's Dogma, the graphics were good but not the best graphics I have seen, for example, when in battle you would not see the sword cuts.. For the graphics I would give the game a 7/10.

 

Sounds in Dragon's Dogma are extremely good. The background noise fits into the place/area where you are.  Also the characters speaking and making noises when attacking are great. The only part when the music in the background doesn’t fit is at the very beginning when it goes from gentle music to rock music. I do think that the sounds in the game are very good and I would give the game sounds a 9/10.

 

The replayability, I would not play the game again because there is not much content in it. If Capcom maybe added DLC packs to add extra missions and new weapons/armour I might play the game over again. Maybe in the future Capcom will bring a DLC pack, which will encourage more people to carry on playing the game over again. For replayability for this game I would give it a 6/10

 

Overall the game Dragon's Dogma is a good game to play if you are into fantasy and combat fighting. I didn’t like this game due to the plot of the story but from the graphics, sounds and creating characters to what you want them to look like. The PROS of the game is the sound effects and the simple and easy to use controls. The CONS are replayability not much added content to encourage people to play again.

Gary's Mod review

Gary’s Mod Review

 

Gary’s Mod is a sandbox physics game using a modified source engine, created by Garry Newman. The game was officially released on November 29, 2006, In March 2013 it was revealed that the game has made over 22 million dollars. Gary’s Mod is made only for computer devices.

 

The fun factor of Gary’s mod is that it is a sandbox, which is where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives. Another fun factor is that Gray’s Mod allows player to download free attachment on the game, for example downloading weapons to shoot thing with it. For the fun factor of Gary’s Mod I would give it a 9/10.

 

The Gameplay in Gary’s mod is usually considered to be a full game, it has no game objective and players can use the game's set of tools for any purpose whatsoever. Garry's Mod allows players to manipulate items, furniture and props various objects that players can place in-game. There are different games that other people have made for everyone to play on like prop hunting. This is a game that is set for playing online, finding plays that could be a bin, a chair, etc. For the gameplay of Gary’s Mod I would give it a 9/10.

 

Gary’s Mod has not got the best of graphics but they are not the worst. I find that graphics are one of the most important part in a game, so for me is not the best of games but that is my opinion. I found that when you blow something up you can see it blowing up but after there is nothing to show that it have blow up, no holes in the ground. For the graphics in Gary’s Mod I would give them a 5/10.

 

Sounds in Gay’s Mod are good, when moving something and placing it down you can hear that it has done that. Also when shooting a gun you can hear it being shot and then hitting something. The thing to improve on would be adding music in at the main menu to make it less bland. For sound I would give Gray’s Mod an 8/10.

 

For the replay ability of Gary’s Mod is good because players can download different thing like weapons, different game modes, etc. there are different games to play every day for different players uploading there game that they have made. So this game is a never-ending game. For replay ability I would give Gary’s Mod a 10/10.

 

Overall Gray’s mod is a good game to play, as there are lots of thing to do on it. If players are in to creative game I would recommend this to them. I did like this game a lot this was because I like creating thing, but I did not like the graphics and found it lagged a lot. The PROS of the game is that the replay ability is amazing due to it being an endless game. The CONS of the game are that the graphics are not very good.

 

 

Uncharted 2 Review

Uncharted 2 Review

Uncharted 2 is an action-adventure third person shooter platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3, it was released in October 2009.

 

The game Uncharted 2 is a game made for players that enjoy action and adventure games. Uncharted is very similar to ‘Prince of Persia’ and ‘Assassins creed’, they are very similar because they all have a lot of climbing and a lot of action in them. The fun factor of Uncharted 2 is that players can choose whether they want to play on multiplayer or co-op play both are enjoyable to play. Also the story line, plot of the game is very interesting which also makes it more fun to play. For the fun factor of Uncharted 2 I would give it an 8/10.

 

The Gameplay in Uncharted 2 is that players have to; climb, jump and scale narrow ledges and wall faces to get between points. Players’ control Nathan Drake that is the main character in the game, players can pick up weapons, and ammunition from killing enemies. Some area in the game players are required to solve puzzles, players can find clues using Drake’s Journal. Also there is a multiplayer option to play, which allows other players to compete against each other or a co-operative multiplayer, which allows only three players to take the role of Drake and two other characters to do missions and objectives. For gameplay I would give Uncharted 2 an 8/10.

 

The graphics on Uncharted 2 where amazing for the year the game came out, games that are out this year still are not as good as Uncharted 2. I find the graphics is one of the most important parts in a game; Uncharted 2 uses Naughty Dog Game Engine 2.0. For the graphics I would give Uncharted 2 a 10/10.

 

The sounds in Uncharted 2 are very good they use some voice acting for the characters and when danger is close intense music comes on to warn players that there is danger close. Also when shooting it makes gunfire sound and for when getting shot the character makes different sounds. For the sounds I would give Uncharted 2 a 9/10.

 

For the replayability of Uncharted 2, there is multiplayer to play with friends and other online players. There are also DLC packs to download which features new multiplayer maps to play on. Players may not get the DLC packs because they cost a bit money and some people my not want to pay for them which can lead to players not wanting to play the game again. For replayability I would give Uncharted 2 an 8/10.

 

Overall Uncharted 2 is a good game to play due to the graphics and the plot. Also it is enjoyable for players that like action and adventure game with climbing and shooting in them. For the PROS of the game is that the graphics, plot and sounds are very good. For CONS of game is that the replayability could be better by lowering the prices of the DLC packs to allow people with not a lot of money to buy them. Overall for Uncharted 2 I would give the game a 9/10.

Ryse: Son of Rome

Ryse: Son of Rome

Ryse: Son of Rome is a third person action-adventure game developed by Crytek and published by Microsoft Studios as an Xbox One exclusive launch title. The game was released on November 22, 2013 the game costs $59.99. There have been other ratings on this game from 6/10 – 10/10.

The fun factor for this game is that players can play the game and see what it would have been like in the Roman days and get a sense of what they had to go through. The player can also use different abilities and combinations on the attack enemies. The only problem with this game is that it is very repetitive this is because the makers of the game only made six different A.I characters I this game which means that you are killing the same six enemies over and over again, this makes the game boring. Overall the fun factor of this game is okay but could be improved.

The graphics on this game are sensational, the detail on the main character are amazing and also the detail on the buildings. The graphics are made to this good because it was released on the new gen console (Xbox One). There are not very many games that have as good graphics as this game. The game uses realist graphics for its graphical styles, there is not much to change or improve with the graphics on this game.

The sounds in the game are also amazing, there is sound effects from the slashes from the sword when hitting an enemy. There is also the sound effect from the A.Is when they shout and hit you. There I some lag between the characters moving their mouth and them speaking, so it is not in sink. Overall the sounds are not that bad but could do with some improvements.

The replay ability for this game is that there is multiplayer which allows players to play with friends, against friends and other players. The player can also unlock achievement to go towards the Gamerscore. The only problem with this game is that it is very repetitive this is because the makers of the game only made six different A.I characters I this game which means that you are killing the same six enemies over and over again, this makes the game boring. Apart for this the replay ability is okay but could do with some improvements, they have not announced there will be a DLC pack but if there is this would improve the replay ability.  

Overall the game is enjoyable to play and it is nice to see some really good graphics. The PROS in this game are that it is fun to play when killing the enemies and using different abilities to do this. There is also the graphics and how good they are on the new gen console (Xbox One). The CONS on this game are that it can get very boring when killing the same enemies over and over again. There is also the lag between the mouths of the characters and their voices.

Killzone Shadow Fall Review

Killzone Shadow Fall Review

Killzone Shadow Fall is a sci-fi, first-person shooter video game, developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the sixth game to be released for the Killzone series and the fourth game in the series to be developed for home consoles. The game was released on November 15, 2013 as a launch title for the PlayStation 4 in North America and November 29, 2013 in Europe.

The graphics on this game are amazing this is mainly because it is on the new gen console (PlayStation 4). The graphics on this game are the best I have ever seen, from the detail on the characters and guns to the detail on the buildings. The graphical style that has been used in this game is photo-realism. Photo-realism is used to make the game look as real as possible by using actual photographs. Overall the graphics on this game are amazing, they are the best I have seen and there is nothing to improve on them.

The fun factor in this game it that players can use the swipe pad on the PlayStation 4 controller to bring out a flying bot that will attack enemies bring out a zip line for you to move from one place to another, it will put a shield in front of you so that you are protected and it also stuns enemies. I found it fun using the touch pad on the controller and also when playing around with the flying bot. Overall this game is very fun and enjoyable to play.

The sounds in the game are also good there is sounds from the gun shots, the flying bot, and aircrafts. Also when the characters start speaking their voices are really clear and are easy to understand. I could not find anything to improve on the sounds when playing the game so at the moment they are very good.

The gameplay on the game is set as a first person sci-fi game where players run around shooting down enemies to get to the next check point. I feel the makers of this game have done a very good job on designing this game because they have put so much detail into it for example when running the screen goes a little blurry this done to make the game feel as realistic as possible. Overall the gameplay on the game is good and I don’t feel that there is anything to improve on it.

The replay ability in this game is okay at the moment because there is achievements to be unlock when playing on the campaign and there is also the multiplayer mode for players to play against other people that have the game and also play with friends. The game is brand new so there has not yet brought out a DLC package for players to download, but there may be some in the future. Overall the replay ability at this time is good and if there is not going to be any DLC packages to come out then that could be an improvement to think about.

Overall for the games PROS: The graphics are amazing, the sound effects are excellent and the game is enjoyable to play. The CONS: the game needs to bring a DLC package out in the future to keep the players interested. For the rating of the game I’m going to give it a 10/10 because I fell that the game has no improvement to make and everything is perfect.
