DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 6, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2007 Cool! How did it fare in the review? Good or Bad? 7.5 The main thing the review said is it appears as if they left content out for later Marketplace Purchases. They said they hoped that was not the case, but they cannot thing of any other reason it was so stripped down. Typed straight from the review... The single player game offers 20 challenges, which are basically battles against increasing numbers of A.I. controlled worms. We miss the clever, more puzzle oriented solo scenarios from past Worms games, but these challenges definitely hone your kills for the real goods: multiplayer, On one console or via Live, up to four players can engage in a tension filled battle for pride and glory.As thrilling - and funny - as the cartoon violence can be, Worms feels oddly incomplete. Many of our favorite weapons and tools from previous Worms games - including the BAseball Bat, Holy Hand Grenade, Skunk, and Select Worm option - are missing, and you can choose from just three environment themes (although a random landscape generator mixes up the terrain). True, this version is just $10, but it almost seems purposely downsized to allow for paid downloadable additions. (Lets hope not.) Root Beer Tapper got a 6.

magik Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Is it just me or is NBA Street Homecourt really fun?I really enjoyed NBA Street so i think this'll be my next purchase... they seem to have gone more extreme with this one too. No, I had a lot of fun with this year's NBA Street as well. It was a lot of fun, I thought. Much better than previous NBA Street titles! :D Definitely at least renting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really was not trying to rub it in, just stating it was coming in faster than normal so it seemed like a good time to download it. Still have yet to try it out.

El-Diablo Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 ehh, it went fast, i downloaded it before i took my stuff from my house. Stupid dad... i hate this right now i can't stay at my house cause of him. bleh... anyway, mixed feelings about the game i think it's good, but the controls are a tad clunky, prolly cause i have no idea how they work as the demo has such a short ass timelimit.

neoadorable Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 what's going on with your dad? sorry to hear of your problems. get yourself a nice case of Fight Night to alleviate some of that tension. trust me it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 hehe, my dad said some pretty brutal stuff about my girlfriend's race, and instead of him retracting his statement and attempting to you know do the right thing and apologize, he blamed me for having a bad attitude, and kept talking mad crazy ****. So... i picked up my ****, **Computer/360/some clothes** and went to a friend's house, and he has fight night lol so we can do that. But yeah, some really mean stuff was said about my girlfriend's race that is so far from true, and i just wasn't about to sit there and let him talk like that. It nearly ended in a fist fight between me and my father. So in turn i've basically just disowned him and luckily i've been looking for a place to move out to for the past week and a half with my best friend so i should hopefully be out soon. Until then i'm stayin here at my friend's house who's parents are being kind enough to let me stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulgafree Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I just downloaded Blitz: The League Demo. It's a pretty good game. Nice Animations and the Clash - Unleash features is getting usefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttz Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Demo's i've got and played, and impressions: Def Jam Icon: I don't care what people say about it. I love it. I loved FFNY, so i'd love this whether it sucked or not, but it doesn't. If it feels slow remember 2 things: its pre-build, and if you remember fight for new york, you had to develop your character before he became faster/stronger etc, and if you don't like the styles, you can make your own. That may not be the case, but i know you definitly make your own fighting style. I love the way you scratch songs etc, and i really hope they still have the amazing finishers? cause they made the game great for me before. Crackdown: Amazing, buying on release. Graw 2: Its exactly what it should be. it feels like they added more onto the original graw, and it feels better and more tactical. i love it. i might also try that blitz ****.
