Hi guys!

This is my review of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, a game that is out for computers.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 comes after Roller Coaster Tycoon. It still has some of the same rides but I think there is some new ones. You get to make your own park, or you can select one of the Six Flags parks to improve. In The Six Flags parks, there is already some rides there but you can put more rides in. I usually make an eatery some where in a Six Flags park because there is some food stalls but the guests almost always complain that they are hungry and couldn’t find the food stalls.

My favorite ride in this game is the Glow-Worm. It is a really cool roller coaster that has a lot of loops in it. There are other kinds of roller coasters that are exactly the same as the Glow-Worm, but they just have different designs. My favorite food stall is the Seafood Stall because the people buy these green tentacles and it looks funny when they walk around with them.

The coolest Six Flags park in this game is Six Flags Magic Mountain because there is this roller coaster called Goliath there and it is a really big roller coaster. My favorite normal park would have to be Lucky Lake because you have unlimited money, but you have to build your entire park over a lake. I beat the Lucky Lake park and I still play on that park because it is really good. I built at least about 20 roller coasters, most of them being really cool and giant.

I think this game is really fun, and if you have played any of the other Roller Coaster Tycoon games you should buy this one. I give this game a 8.5/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Roller Coaster Tycoon, a game that is on the computer.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is really fun because you get to build your own theme park. First you pick a level and then you can build rides, food stalls, scenery and attractions. My favorite ride to put in is the Free Fall. It is this thing that shoots the people straight into the air and drops them back down really fast and goes back up again and comes back down. It is funny because most of the time after they get off they throw up all over the ground.

To fix your rides you need to hire mechanics and to clean up puke and to mow the grass you have to hire handymen. There is also another person you can hire: an entertainer. They are people who dress up in costumes and go around your park dancing and juggling. I never really liked the entertainers because they are really creepy.

You have to build food and drink stalls so the people at your park don’t starve and leave the park. You can also put clothing stalls and souvenir stalls too. You have to put these in your park: bathrooms! One time I forgot to put bathrooms in my park and all of the people left, so I deleted that park and made a new one. You can also charge them money to go the bathroom, so if you need money charge the people between 1-10 cents to go the bathroom.

I think this game is really fun so I am giving it a 7.5/10. I also have a link to the official website, Roller Coaster Tycoon. Take a look at it.

Hi guys!

This post is about the North American release of Re: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories!

Re: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (or Re:CoM for short) is a PlayStation 2 remake of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories that was originally released for the GBA (Game Boy Advance). Square Enix only released Re: CoM in Japan, but on December 2, they are releasing the English version!

Since it was only out in Japan, I can’t really give it a full review, so I can only review some of the stuff I know about it. Re: CoM is a card game, so you will have to select cards to use so you can attack. Different cards are more powerful than others and in the corner of the card it shows you it’s level.

In this game you can play as Sora or Riku, and both of them have separate stories to play. The graphics for this game are really good. This was the second Kingdom Hearts game to be made, but it is not called Kingdom Hearts 2. Kingdom Hearts 2 had a Japanese release of I think December 2005 and was released in North America and Europe some time in 2006.

In Japan, Re:CoM was released with Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is still Kingdom Hearts 2, but with a lot of bonus content. In Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, when you are in The World That Never Was, you actually get to fight Roxas instead of just watching a cut scene where Sora fights him. You also get to fight these things called Mushroom XIII (XIII is Roman numerals for 13), and if you defeat all of them you get a keyblade but I don’t know what it is called.

I got this game for Christmas so I now have a little more info about it. When you advance another floor in the castle, you have a world card and you get to decide which world you want to go to first. This game is actually a lot harder than it sounds because the card fighting system can be a bit difficult at times, especially when you might need it the most. Once you use all of your cards you have to recharge them by holding down a button. Every time you use up all of your cards, it will take longer to recharge them.

The levels are also really hard in this game like Monstro and Wonderland(Wonderland is a lot harder because at one point you have to fight these cards that the queen summons and they are really powerful). I am actually stuck on Wonderland because of that too. From what I have played of this game I would say it actually isn’t as good as I hoped it to be. I am giving this game a 6/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game that is exclusively out for the Nintendo Wii.

This game is REALLY fun and has a lot of characters too. It is a game that has a whole bunch of Nintendo characters in it and there are some new characters that weren’t in Super Smash Bros Melee. There are also a lot of new stages too. In This Super Smash Bros game there is an item that allows you to use your character’s Final Smash move. Every character has a different Final Smash and they are all quite good.

Since this game came out in 2007, there is a lot of new characters. Here are the characters: Ike, Princess Peach, Luigi, Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Kirby, Marth, Link, Toon Link, Zelda/Sheik, Gannondorf, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Snake, Samus/Zero Suit Samus, Lucario, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucas, Fox, Falco and wolf. I am sure there is more characters but I can’t remember. My favorite character is Ike, Mainly because he is practically the best character in the game and because his Final Smash is really good.

Their is also a lot of stages in just normal brawl. My favorite stage is probably The Bridge of Eldin. There is plenty of new stages and also stages from Melee are in Brawl, but you have to unlock them. There is also a Stage Builder Mode where you can make your own stages.

This game is really fun, so I am giving it a 8.5/10.

Hi!

This is my review of Pikmin 2, a game that is out for the Nintendo Game Cube. Also, if you have a Wii this game will still work on it but you might need a Game Cube memory card so you can save it.

In this game you can play as the same character you were in Pikmin, but there is a new character you can play as: Louie. I got a lot farther in Pikmin 2 then I did in Pikmin 1. I thought this game was a lot better than Pikmin 1 because it is two-player and on one-player you can switch between the two characters when ever you like. There are two new types of Pikmin in Pikmin 2. The new ones are purple and white. The Pikmin’s elements in this game have switched around a little bit. Red are still fire, blue are still water, but with the new Pikmin  in this game the Yellow Pikmin are no longer strength, instead they are electricity. The Purple Pikmin are strength type in Pikmin 2 and the white Pikmin are poison type.

The first level is very easy and consists of small enemies. As you get the different levels, you are introduced to a lot of new and harder enemies. I think there is about over 100 different types of enemies. You have a Piklopedia; it is something that allows you to view all of your enemies. You can also throw carrots at the creatures in your Piklopedia.

I had a lot of fun playing Pikmin 2, but the last boss is quite hard. I am giving this game a 9.3/10.

Hi everyone!

This is my review of Pikmin, a game that is out for the Nintendo Game Cube.

Pikmin is a very old Japanese game for the Game Cube. I only rented Pikmin, so this post might be very short. Well, for starters, your character is not from Earth so its a little bit strange. Your character is taking a vacation in space but his ship crash lands on an unknown planet, and when he gets there, he finds these little plant-like living creatures. He calls them Pikmin, and they help him find the missing parts of his space ship.

There are 3 types of Pikmin in this game: red, yellow and blue. The Red Pikmin are fire type, the Blue Pikmin are water type and the Yellow Pikmin are strength type. The Pikmin all have different appearances so they are quite unique. The Blue Pikmin have mouths, the Red Pikmin have noses, and the Yellow Pikmin have very big ears.

I didn’t get very far in Pikmin so I can’t really say anything more about it. I give this game a 6.5/10.

Hi again!

This is my review of 2 games in one post because they are almost exactly the same and they are out for the Nintendo DS.

These are the next Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, so if you have never played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team/ Red Rescue Team it might be a little difficult and confusing to control and play, mainly because some of the controls are a little bit different.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are I think the only Pokemon games that you can actually play as Pokemon in. The beginning of these games are always easy but some of the other levels farther in the game are a bit harder. In these Mystery Dungeon games instead of being only a rescue team you can also kinda be a bounty hunter too. There are some missions when you will need to arrest and defeat evil Pokemon, but in other missions you can still rescue other Pokemon too. Once you start the game you will have to join an Exploration Guild so in the story missions you will be exploring a lot of places as well as fighting bosses.

Although you get to play as a Pokemon, some of the controls might really get annoying when you try to move and control your character. The last few levels are also quite difficult because the last bosses are really hard.

I thought that these games were quite fun, but I wouldn’t say they were awesome and amazing games because they just aren’t. If you are a Pokemon fan you should still try out these games but after a while you might just get really bored of playing them so I am giving it a 6/10.

Hi!

This is my review of Kingdom Hearts II, a game that’s is exclusively out for the Playstation 2.

It takes place 1 year after Kingdom Hearts. In this game, Sora has to fight against the Nobodies and the heartless. This game is more challenging then Kingdom Hearts because you have to fight a lot of bosses and really hard enemies!

The basic enemies are quite easy, but once you get farther in the game, you will run into really hard enemies. The nobodies are a lot harder than the Heartless because they do more damage and have more health then other enemies. Donald and Goofy still fight with you, but i found them quite useless because their attacks are not very good. Sometimes if you die in a boss fight, you can play as King Mickey! King Micky is really good.

Once you get far in the game you will have to fight Organization XIII members. They are the Nobody leaders and are really hard. The hardest Organization member is probably Saix or Xemnas, their leader. Demyx is one of the easiest Organization members, but if you just got the game he is really hard. Xigbar is also really hard because the weapons he uses is like some kind of gun that homes in on you, and when ever you try to attack him he will disappear and reappear upside down because he controls gravity. Luxord isn’t that hard, but since he is so annoying it makes him really hard.

Through out the game you will get something called a drive form. Sora’s new clothes in Kingdom Hearts II allow you to transform into different forms with different abilities.

This is my favorite video game ever, so I’m giving it a 10/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Soul Calibur IV, a game that is out for the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360.

Soul Calibur IV is like a japanese arcade-style fighting game. It is very fun and there are a lot of stages to choose from. There are also a lot of characters as well as items that you can put on your customized characters. There are also some Star Wars characters in this game. The customizable character option is quite fun and easy to use. My friend made a guy look really creepy though because his sword was bigger than the character himself.

I think there is about 30 or 40 characters in the game, so deciding which character to choose takes a while. My favorite character is Siegfried because my friend customized him and gave him the Soul Calibur sword and really good armour. When you get a K.O. you can keep hitting the people and that also gets you over-kill points. The Tower of Lost Souls mode on one-player is very hard and so are the other one-player modes. You have to download The Apprentice, so if you’re having trouble trying to get him that’s probably why.

I think this game is really fun and interesting and if you have played any of the older Soul Calibur games, you should try out this one. I’m giving this game a 7.5/10.

Hi guys!

This is my review of Mario Kart DS, which is a game out for the Nintendo DS. Mario Kart DS is a very fun game. There are some new tracks and you can even play on tracks that are from older Mario Kart games. There is a variety of cup races to play on. My favorite cup is the Star Cup. The last track on this cup is quite challenging because you fall off the edges almost all the time. That track is called Rainbow Road.

There is also a lot of characters to choose from, but you have to unlock some of them. My favorite character is either Yoshi or Waluigi. Here is a list of some of the characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Bowser, Yoshi, Dry Bones, Wario, R.O.B. and Waluigi. I’m sure there are more characters, but I can’t remember if there are. There are quite a bit of short cuts in some of the tracks. I’m not sure if there are cheats for this game because it is on a portable system, but if you had an Action Replay you probably could find some cheats for it. You have to beat the whole game to get R.O.B. , because he is one of the best characters in the game.

This game is very fun and amazing, and for a portable system, the graphics are amazing too. If you are a fan of the Mario series you should check it out.

I give this game a rating of 9/10.
