This is my review of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, a game that is out for the Nintendo DS.
This game is really fun. It is fun because you don’t play as a character, you can control them all at once. When you go into a battle, You can select your creatures by tapping them with the stylus and you tap where you want them to go. If you want to move a lot of them at once, you can draw a square and it selects them all, and then you can tap them where you want them to go.
The creatures you control are called Espers. There are 3 kinds of Espers. These are: Ranged, Flying and Melee. You can use their type to your advantage because there is a combat triangle with them. Flying is good against Melee and Melee is bad against Flying. Ranged is good against Flying and Flying is bad on Ranged. Finally, Melee is good on Ranged and Ranged is bad on Melee. Some of them are really dangerous and some of them are very harmless. Before you go into a battle, you go to the battle screen. This is when you can change the Espers in your group before you enter the battle. Espers have a certain rank too. They can have a rank of I, II or III. Rank I is just the basic rank and rank II is the medium Espers and rank III are really good Espers, or Espers that will help you the most, but you can only have one rank III Esper with you.
There are about 50 or so Espers that you can buy in the game with your Auracite. Your enemies have creatures too, but thye are not Espers; they are Yarhi. Although the Yarhi look almost exactly the same as Espers, they are actually quite different. Espers are usually bright colors and Yarhi are usually very dark colors or different shades of dark colors. My favorite Esper is either Shiva, Ultima or Mateus. Shiva, Ultima and Mateus are all rank III Espers. Shiva is the rank III ranged-water Esper, Mateus is the rank III flying-water Esper and Ultima is the rank III healing Esper, but Ultima can also do a lot of damage with one of her moves.
When you go to the battle screen, you can also select leaders for your battle. The leaders are the actual characters in the game and the Esper that is their type will be following them. Here are the leaders that you start out with : Vaan, Penelo, Kytes and Filo. Vaan is melee typed, Penelo is healing typed, Kytes is ranged typed and Filo is flying typed. My favorite character is Vaan. You also have to buy your characters items that they can equip or wear.
I think this game is really fun, but if the graphics were better I would have given it a better rating, and because I am stuck on the last few levels. I am giving this game a 7/10.
This is my review of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a game that is available for The Nintendo DS, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and the Xbox 360.
This Star Wars game is unlike any I have ever played before. You play as Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice. In the first mission you play as Darth Vader. You are on the Wookie planet of Kashyyk. Your goal is to find the Rogue Jedi and kill him. Vader’s apprentice is the Rogue Jedi’s son. Darth Vader doesn’t want anyone to know that he let his son live, so he becomes his apprentice.
As you progress through the game you unlock new costumes that you can wear. You can change your costume by going to the customize costume screen on the Rogue Shadow( your ship). My favorite costume is probably either the Sith Robes or the Ceremonial Jedi Robes. Another cool costume is the Correllian Flight Suit. I didn’t unlock my costumes, instead I used the cheat code GRANDMOFF, which unlocks all the costumes for you.
When you kill a person you get Jedi Points. Once you have enough Jedi Points you can upgrade one of your Force Powers, or you can learn an entirely new one. My favorite Force Power is Lightning Because it kills enemies really fast. Another good Force Power is the Force Push because once it is on its maximum, your enemies go flying when you use it.
There isn’t that many levels in this game, but my favorite level would either be The Jedi Temple or Kashyyk(not at the beginning of the game when you are Darth Vader, but when you go there as The Apprentice). The hardest level would have to be Felucia because There is these things called Rancors, which are these really big bull things. The hardest Rancor is the Bull Rancor because it is the strongest. In the last level, you have to fight Darth Vader and the Emperor.
When you are in the Rogue Shadow, you can either customize your costume, Go to the Extras place where you can input cheat codes, view and upgrade your Force Powers and customize your Lightsaber. If you are going to use cheats, these are probably the best cheats to use. GRANDMOFF, which unlocks all the costumes for you, VERGENCE, which gives you unlimited Force Power, CORTOSIS, which makes you immune to every single type of damage, LIGHTSABER, which makes your Lightsaber do massive damage, COUNTDOOKU, which makes all of your combos the max level, KATARN, which makes all of your Force Powers the max level, ZABRAK, which unlocks Darth Maul as a skin and SPEEDER, which gives you one million Force Points.
This is my review of an older game, but it is still fun. It is called Super Smash Bros Melee. I reviewed Super Smash Bros Brawl, so I decided to review the older one that is out for the Nintendo Game Cube.
This game doesn’t really have a story. It is just another fighting game. My favorite character in this game is Marth. He is in Brawl, but he is really bad in Brawl and really good in Melee. There is still a lot of characters but this time I am not going to name all of them. Here is a list of some of the characters: Marth, Kirby, Link, Zelda, Samus, Pikachu and Pichu.
There is still a lot of stages in this game. My favorite stage would either be Hyrule Temple or Venom. Hyrule Temple is a really big arena and is really fun when there is a lot of people playing. Venom is a very small stage but it is cool because it is an air plane and you fight on its wings. One of the hardest stages is Brinstar Depths. It is one of Samus’ arenas and is really annoying because if you fall you fall in lava. The most annoying stage in this game is Ness’ arena. It is this place where there is a house and a road. If you go on the road when a car is about to come by, the car hits you and you go flying and usually end up flying off the screen which kills you.
One-Player in this game isn’t very fun because it is really short. Adventure mode is the short one, but there are more kinds of One-Player scenarios. In one mode, you have to do a whole bunch of events. The last event is really hard because you have to fight Giga Bowser, Mewtwo and Gannondorf.
I think this game is really fun and if you have a Wii, it will work on it because you can play Game Cube games on the Wii. I am giving this game a 8/10.
I am going to review the old Mystery Dungeon games because I have reviewed the newer ones. Blue Rescue Team is for the Nintendo DS and Red Rescue Team is for the Game boy Advance.
Again, in the beginning you mysteriously turn into a Pokemon and your character can’t remember a thing. You have to take a test to determine what Pokemon would best fit you. After that, you have to pick a partner. I don’t really like the test because sometimes you end up with really dumb or weak Pokemon. One time I ended up with a Pikachu. I don’t like Pikachu, so I turned off my DS. If you are not happy with the Pokemon you get, just turn off your DS and take the test again. It might take a while to get the Pokemon you want, but most of the time its worth it. In the newer Mystery Dungeon games, I spent about an hour just trying to get the Pokemon I wanted. In Blue Rescue Team, my friend did the test for me so I ended up with a really bad Pokemon, Charmander.
In these games, you can only rescue people but in the new Mystery Dungeon games you can arrest outlaws too. The rescue missions are really easy but the story missions can be a little hard. I think that the first boss is Zapdos, but I really can’t remember. The last boss is Rayquaza. I am not even on the last mission because I am stuck on Articuno. Although Rayquaza is the last boss, he is not the last boss because after you beat him there are some bonus bosses that you can fight for fun like Lugia and Jirachi. I’m sure there is more bonus bosses but I can’t remember if there is.
I thought that these games were fun at first but like the newer Mystery Dungeon games they get boring after a while. I am giving these games a 6.5/10.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
