Rent it dont buy it.....


I am having a really shitty week on games purchases. First of all LotRO which I havent played since the first half hour I tried on it whenever it was i got it. The games not bad, its fun but soon gets boring as the combat system is designed so that mashing buttons is all you have to do. Now in most fighting games mashing buttons works, but as soon as you play against someone that knows the moves you look a fool, in SM3 though it just seems to be mash any button and you will look good. Swinging is good but soon get bored of it and basicly after half an hours play you have seen all there is to see of the game. Will give it a score of 3/7

did you really think a game based on a movie would actually be goo?
there have been a few exceptions I guess.

just bought a 360 myself. got 5 games with it. Took about 1/2 hour to run through the setup. Just about to put a game in, and Kat says 'Most Haunted is on now'

So I've retired to the other room to smoke and browse t'interweb

Well the first spiderman game was good, second one was ok but had some annoying parts to it, this one should be good but have already seen it all before in the other 2. Maybe i was a bit harsh, has got Bruce Campbell narrating it so maybe a 6/11

Well I got the Wii version as well but cant review that yet as no wii till tuesday. Though if they replace the button mashing with frantic controller waving it should be a good work out

has there ever been to game the tied in to movie that been any good

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Lego Star Wars (1 and 2), Star Wars Battlefront, Dune, The Warriors, Batman (the classic ocean Amiga/ST game), Robocop 3 (was better than the movie), Urm million other star wars games such as brilliant tie fighter and x wing series, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Hello, I'm selling these fine leather jackets), spiderman 1 and 2 were both good, and Goldeneye probably one of the best FPS ever made. Probably load more but im tired and cant think

Quick Spiderman 3 on the Wii review

Some games feel at home on the Wii controller and its a joy to play them, some games like Spiderman 3 are not and the safety strap isnt there to protect your tv and loved ones from accidents but you hurling the remote at whatever is nearest in pure frustration. I cant believe that during the 5 minutes of testing they did nobody mentioned that the controlls just dont work. To move you use the stick on the nunchuck, to swing from a web using your left hand you hold down Z and flick the nunchuck (you let go of Z to let go of the web), to move the camera you hold down the C button and move the direction stick. Now when you are swinging through the city you not only need to move but controll the camera to see where you are going and make tight turns which simply cant be done. On the 360 version when you are good you can swing through the city with ease and land on a truck that you picked out. On the Wii you would be lucky to land on the same street the truck is on. As for combat, on the 360 its just button mashing, on the Wii its just button mashing but not only are you randomly bashing buttons but also randomly waving your hands around like an epileptic kid having a fit while watching some japanese cartoon.

Dont rent, dont buy, dont get preown, dont even say yes if someone asks you if you want to borrow it just point and laugh at them instead
