Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)

from: Konami

June 12, 2008
First off as a ps3 exclusive you really cant go wrong anyway. Having finished the game Id just like to say that if you are having any doubts about buying this game you should get rid of them right now!
Graphics 5 star
game play 5 star
You really cant fault it. The landscape is breathtaking and the game play is and the gameplay is amazing what with the octocamo for stealth purposes as well as the close quarters combat. I did finish fairly quickly in a week but you can keep replaying as their different routes and hidden objects to find, the items you recover first time around also roll over to the next time. The cut scenes can at times drag on but if you are following the story they tie up all the loose ends.

Pro Evolution Soccer (Wii)

from: Konami

March 28, 2008
I love pro evo, it's the greatest game ever, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this.

Yes, the passing and being able to position players is fabulous and revolutionary. However;
- it's practically impossible to defend; players just dont do what you want. Sliding tackles, barges, fouls... you wont find any of this.
- the worst crime though is the shooting. One little flick of the nunchuck and it decides exactly where it's going to shoot, how powerfully, everything. There's absolutely zero skill involved. A useless, useless gimmick that ruins the game.

So basically there's no skill in shooting and you cant properly nail people. So what's the point in playing. I'm gutted, it could have been so good, but it's ... Read More:

Dancing Stage Hottest Party (inc. mat) (Wii)

from: Konami

March 21, 2008
I was first skeptical about purchasing this game as some reviews weren't brilliant. i am a dancing game fan and loved the ps2 version i now love the wii version even better. You actually feel like your dancing, the graphics are great. The songs are brill like 99 red balloons, 1,2 step and i don't feel like dancing. The songs are covers but clubbier and as good as the origionals in my opinion. if you liked the ps2 dancing game you will love this. A must have for all those with rythum! The hand movements are easy to pick up just make sure you flick outwards.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Xbox 360)

from: Konami

October 26, 2007
What a shame. They have ruined PES. I have been a very keen player of PES since the original versions on the PS. They may have improved the visuals, but have certainly killed gameplay in the process. This turned out to be a very frustrating experience, AI is awful, defenders run in the wrong direction!!

XBOX live is also a frustrating experience, I haven't been able to play a game online without lag. Jerky gameplay to say the least.

I'm not sure if FIFA is an alternative, I'm not a FIFA fan. Don't waste your money on this title though.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS2)

from: Konami

October 26, 2007
I'm quite disappointed of this version of Pro Evo, I thought this will have better graphics and game play, but I was totally let down. Pro Evo 8's game play is, more or less, the same as Pro Evo 6. This game is only worth buying if you want updated team members for club, country, etc. That's about it. The graphics hasn't been improved at all.

I'm not too bothered with the new sets of menus and music that everyone is getting annoyed of. I guess the reason why this game is so expensive at the moment is because of the new graphical menus they have introduced to game, rather than improving the the game play and the actual graphics of the game.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)

from: Konami

October 26, 2007
The only thing to have improved since the last game is the graphics. The gameplay is worse than ever and the master league is worse than on the last game.

Even the graphics aren't that improved, the crowd looks awfull and they all move together, so when you score every single person in the crowd stands up at exactly the same time and they all lift up one arm (the same arm) at the same time. The gameplay is awfull, there's still the problem that you can run into the box and take it round the keeper then blaze it over the bar for no reason. players miss other easy chances for no reason either, you can absolutely batter a team and fail to score then more often then not the computer will go up the pitch and score with there first shot. The computer can go on ... Read More:

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PSP)

This game retains most of the fun and the features of the PS2 version. Some bits are missing, like the commentary but so what. Really good fun and addictive. The fewer buttons actually make it more fun!

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

from: Konami

March 04, 2005
This game has some of the hardest boss battles in any game. "The End" for example can sometimes take an eternity to kill. Then theres the awful camera mixed with the lack of a soliton radar system and its a recipe for disaster - what happens is you cant see the enemy in anyway shape or form so you end up running into them and alert after alert :( I loved Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 and managed to get through both on all levels of difficulty...I struggled to get through snake eater on Normal mode.
I think the trouble here is the addition of too many new features all at once, instead of just revamping and modernising the gameplay mechanics.
However to draw a line under it all and say this is a bad game would be incorrect, the storyline and cinematics are second to ... Read More:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

from: Konami

March 08, 2002
I am very much into the stealth games, and it has to be said, MGS and Splinter Cell are at the forefront of the genre. Having owned the first Splinter Cell I felt like checking out the competition and I have to say I was very impressed. They are both very similar yet manage to set themselves apart from eachother.
Firstly, Splinter Cell's use of shadows and silence drew me in but with MGS there perhaps isn't as much pressure resting on this.
MGS has to be one of the most visually stunning games for the PS2. The realsim is immense e.g. When you come inside from the raining outdoors you leave footprints which guards are actually suspicious of. I feel that the storyline somewhate ruins the game, it is very unrealistic towards the end and left me feeling a little confused ... Read More:
