Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)Considering the main character has a centre parting, it's turning out to be an alright game. 4
Xbox 360 discs promises a long game but the real longevity comes from the dreams/memories which trigger as you turn every corner and last 10 or so minutes (depending on how fast you can read).
They consist of lengthy sentimental anecdotes from the 1000 year old cool dude immortal you play. The worst thing is having to read all the shit over tacky backgrounds with
Microsoft Word-like text animation (well it is
Microsoft Xbox)! You can skip it, but it feels like you're missing out as the main feature of this game is supposedly the story... the rest is fairly typical for
RPGs.
It's quite fun, but out of 5 hours of play there has been at most 1 hour of fighting and 4 hours of walking around/dreaming. The only savour for this game is Jansen - the ladies man, super dude who is full of charming one-liners.
That said, it's an enjoyable game if you have the patience... or so i have come to believe 5 hours in.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)I've already completed this but my brother stole it when i wanted to play it again. Now he's come back home I can play it again but i'm making my girlfriend play it instead. GOAT IN! We haven't left Ordon yet but I think she's enjoying it. Our favourite bit has been holding the dog in some house! The worst bit was fishing which takes so much 'bobbing' and waiting and BORING. Maybe it's supposed to be realistic, but i just want to give a fish to a cat so i can buy a slingshot!
I don't think i'll play this much anymore because i've already completed it and it has started to get scary!
It's a great game though, which is rare on the shit-spewing family cock-sucking Wii! The only good games that have been released are:
- Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess
- Okami
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Mario Kart Wii
That's all i can think of for the moment. But seriously it's
wiily annoying seeing bubbly middle-aged mums become the face of GAMING lml!
