Borderlands
Yeah, I decided to rent the PS3 version since the PC version comes out next week. The game will be due back on Sunday and has great reviews with a 85 at metacritic, I'm about to start it and going by the new sig I made, you should know who I'm playing as(it's in red but you can change the name of the character in the game).
I'll leave impressions on my next blog.
Killzone 3
A while back, there was a rumor about Killzone 3 in development, though most of you didn't know that. Now there's another rumor about it, and in a Official Playstation Magazine, it is said that this game is not only in development but could come out in 2010!!! It's not confirmed, but not denied either. My thoughts?
Resistance 3 still sounds more realistic to come out that year than Killzone 3. If it does come out, it'll probably be late. If it does make it, then the PS3's line up just got better.
Uncharted 2 Mini Review
After taking me 9 hours to beat this game on Normal, which already outdid the 1st one since that game was only 7 hours, this is one of the games that should be played if you have a PS3. You might call me crazy after saying this, but I enjoyed it more than Metal Gear Solid 4. Like I said before, it fixes every problem of the 1st game while adding new things to make better than it should be.
Gameplay: It's a half third person shooter/half platformer with stealth elements here and there. The well designed levels and variety will keep the game going fresh even when it's about to feel repetitive. The enemy a.i. is very good at flanking you, using cover and even blindfiring. There are a few bosses in the game and each have to be taken down differently thanks to how well the levels are designed. Controls are solid, improved and new ones are added to make them even better. Add with solid pacing and you can't find much fault with it.
Graphics: Games like Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2 showed how awesome PS3 exclusives can look, but this game takes the crown over them. The amount of detail is staggering on characters and environments and there are times I just couldn't believe how amazing it looks. From lush forests to snowy mountains, along with the amount of things on screen, you will be left stunned as it's one of the better looking PS3 exclusives. And best of all, no framerate drops!
Sound: While some of the music is from the original, there's new music to be found here that not only sound great but perfectly fits each situation well. The voice acting is outstanding and seems the voice actors put effort into the characters as you can even feel their emotions. As for sound effects, it's good but some weapons like the AK-47 could have sounded a little better. Still minor though.
Replay Value: You won't stop playing this game anytime soon as there are 5 difficulties(1 to unlock) to choose and there's treasure you can find throughout the campaign to get trophies. There's a ton to unlock in the campaign alone, from multiplayer characters to bonuses like gameplay tweaks and more, it'll be a while. Not to mention the multiplayer it has with 10 players in most modes and 3 player co-op in co-op modes. There are a total of 10 modes to choose from and they are pretty good, though I love some like Gold Rush and Survival. It even has a perk system similar to Call of Duty 4 called boosters which upgrades your character to have more ammo, move faster while aiming, etc., and you have to level up by doing these modes while earning money to unlock them. It can be addictive and keep you busy for days and is not tacked on like some predicted since it doesn't hurt the campaign at all, unlike some games this gen.
Overall: I really enjoyed this game a lot actually. There are some games that barely improve on previous games in this day and age, but unlike certain games, instead of being a rehash with a few new things, this game improves upon the 1st in many ways and add new things to give it a different feel. The complaints are so few and minor that to me it really doesn't affect the game at all. If you own a PS3 and like platformer shooters with some stealth, this is a must buy.
I'm finally giving a PS3 exclusive a 10/10, this one BTW, and no, I didn't give Metal Gear Solid 4 a 10 either. These are my final thoughts on the game, I'm glad you read it, now buy this game.
