Genji: Days of the Blade - Gamespot review
#1
6.4
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventur...s&subj=6161332 The Good: Great graphics and sound show off some of what the PlayStation 3 can do; four considerably different playable characters plus multiple unique weapons; some exciting boss battles and other impressive set pieces. The Bad: Level design is often dull, and sometimes frustrating and confusing; repetitive hack-and-slash combat rarely demands much skill or finesse; some noticeable cut corners throughout the story make the game feel rushed. The limited selection of games available around the launch of a high-profile new console means that a bright spotlight is cast on each of them. Genji: Days of the Blade is an example of this effect because this really is an average, forgettable game that's only interesting because there aren't many other PS3 games to choose from yet. It's worth checking out if only as evidence of what Sony's new system can do from a graphical perspective; however, its 10-or-so hours of repetitive combat shouldn't be the tipping point for anyone who wants to justify getting a PS3. |

They say there is a bit of slowdown during the larger battles, but I wonder what the base framerate is? If they went for 60 fps like Genji 1, the slowdown would be more acceptable (and obvious). If it maxes out at 30 fps and still slows down, though, I'm disappointed.

Gamespot just hit Genji in the weak spot for massive damage.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventur...s&subj=6161332 The Good: Real-time weapon change. Real-time character change. Flipping over giant enemy crabs and attacking the weak point to inflict massive damage. Historical accuracy. The Bad: It's a sequel to Genji. |

THP8 review as well:
http://au.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/to...pdates;title;2 Edit: On another note, I think people might be under-estimating the potential gameplay in Untold Legends. Sure it looks mediocre visually (though far from bomba) but it's based on tried and tested western hack & slash/item fest gameplay and it supports co-op online. I would be very surprised if that game didn't atleast score in the low 7's. Last edited by Wollan : 11-09-2006 at 03:21 AM. |
, no suggesting, no agenda here.
