I haven't reviewed something in a while. Well a while for me. And while I was down in Dover I got a chance to taste multiplayer again. Specifically Xbox Live, that I can't afford, and the chance to sit down with family and take it in turns playing a plethora of different games. So, this review is a general kind of rant review on XBL, my family and five games. Enjoy!
Game One is none other than Modern Warfare 2, I was a big fan of the first even if I fucking sucked and found the newest one just as frustrating as the last. I took it in turns to play online matches with my cousins and after two days I was just starting to get near to their level, so either they aren't very good, I'm fucking awesome or this game is ridden with flukes. And even though it doesn't make me look good, I'd probably go with the fluke option because half of the times you die on MW2 are where you are randomly shot through walls or killed by some twats random grenade.
The pace of this game online wasn't any slower than before and it was just as fucking elitist, well now even more elitist. More elitist? Now you can unlock new titles and emblems just to show how good you are. Or how fucking sad you are that you put so much fucking time into the game.
To sum up? You can have a lot of fun, especially when you start grasping how to correctly use the HUD and you aren't just blindly wandering around the map getting shot at. It's always a rush to get kill streaks, the game always has you on it's toes with all it's franticness but it's just a shame everyone is so fucking good.
Game Two was World At War, which is basically 'Unmodern Warfare', aside from some uglier (but not ugly) graphics and a new paint job this is exactly the same game. You run around franticly trying to stay alive, unlock new levels and weapons and perks and become an elitist douchebag (and a sad fucker in the same breath) yaddayadda.
To sum up? I much preferred this to the new Modern Warfare, couldn't really tell you why, maybe it was the fuckwin Nazi Zombie mode. Wow I had a lot less to say here, just refer to the MW review above.
Game Three was Fifa 10. I played this with my cousins rather than online and it was...okay. Football is generally a pretty boring game, you get the occasional goal that makes you go, "Look at that!" but aside from that it's a lot of running around and flukey frustration. I'm sure if you were good at the game you could set up whole plays and create some uber fluid Arsenal like play.
To sum up? I found it so fucking hard to control 11 players pretty much at once. I always get overwhelmed by team based sports games.
Game Four was Skate 2 There is a multiplayer mode where you have to throw your skater off the building and you get points for how good your fall was. That just, and I mean just, saves it.
To sum up? This is probably the biggest piece of shit ever made for the 360 since Turok.
The final game was UFC, a game halfway between Smackdown VS Raw and Tekken but twice as frustrating and three times as more painful for your hands and wrist.
To sum up? Much like any sports game a majority of the game play is pretty boring, but when you land that great punch or get them in that unbreakable submission hold, well for a split second you think you're actually enjoying this pile of crap.
Well how the hell do I sum this whole rant review up? I guess I can't.
Think About It!
