Before the review, let me tell you guys that I am a huge Spiderman fan. I like the films, love the comics and cartoons, and I think (with a few exceptions) the games are fantastic. Since [i]Spiderman 2[/i] was an excellent game for the big consoles (with the PC version being pure garbage), I was getting my hopes up for the PSP version. I was expecting the same ability to free-roam, with an all right story mode, and new extras …the perfect launch title and film adaptation. Instead, I was kicked in the nuts.
First of all, the controls suck. It’s hard to control the game, especially when you’re slinging webs. It’s not like you’re really doing that much, since the game is linear and mission-based. So long what people adored so much like free-roaming and web slinging around New York. Some of the levels are new but utterly useless.
Why there were new villains added is a mystery to me because they don’t advance the story really, other than the bosses saying, A
The [i]Star Wars[/i] franchise is notorious for its crappy games. It’s not very rare that a [i]Star Wars[/i] game turns out to be a rip-off from another title put in a [i]Star Wars[/i] costume and sold like it’s hot stuff. Most of the games are pretty mediocre, with nothing interesting in them other than music and the [i]Star Wars[/i] theme. [i]Apprentice of the Force[/i] is no exception.
You play as Luke Skywalker in this GBA game, and it’s a side-scrolling hack-and-slash game. You go all the way from Tatooine, where [i]Episode IV[/i] starts, to the end of [i]Episode VI[/i].
As you go through your exciting adventure, you gain Force powers such as Healing (which gets useful during [i]Episode VI[/i]), Force Push and two more. Before you get your lightsaber, you have your trusty blaster that you can keep using once you get your saber. Boss fights aren’t too interesting, but the enemies vary from stormtroopers to Tusken raiders to Jabba’s goons.
You also get to fly in an X-wing, or go on a landspeeder. I hated theseA
Who said all film-to-game adaptations are bad? Well, Rockstar’s Toronto division had more than 20 years to make the game, as opposed to some other game developers, but the bottom line is: [i]The Warriors[/i] is what the games based on films ought to be like!
Sadly enough, I didn’t see the movie, also entitled [i]The Warriors[/i], but it’s a movie I must watch soon. From what I’ve been told, the movie is as brutal as the game itself (which should be pretty awesome then).
Rockstar once again achieved to make a very brutal game. With games such as the [i]Grand Theft Auto[/i] series, or [i]Manhunt[/i], people should not expect less than an M-rated game because that is what the player will get. A few examples of how the game is violent: bashing bricks/glasses/balls one someone’s face, taking bats, hammers, meat cleavers, knives and other objects to waste your enemy.
Almost everything in this game causes some controversyA
Let me start off the review with a little joke. In Hungarian, if you say A
I expected a lot from this gameA
