Your probably gonna notice that all the games we rate are gonna be old. That is true. Because we are not very rich we don’t have all the newest and bestest games, but you’ll have to deal with. And as you will also notice my reviews are much, much more in depth than Waste-o-space's. That's why you will see I have less reviews than him.
The G ³ systems are on the horizon, and many people are counting the days. Today our issue is the Xbox 360°™. There are 2 versions of the system. The standard, and the core, the standard is $499 and the core is $399. The standard comes with the Xbox 360°, 2 controllers, the hard drive, and is backwards compatible. The core system comes with the Xbox 360°, and 2 controllers. No hard drive, no backwards compatible. The hard drive can be bought separate for $99. Still it’s not backwards compatible. Seriously, is this stupid or what? “Oh, I’m gonna buy the core system, and save my self a dollar because I’m an idiot. Now I have to keep my Xbox now to keep play any of my Xbox games, and not be able to sell it for some credit to the 360°”. People must realize that’s the truth Microsoft is trying to earn a little extra money after already soaking us dry. “I salute you Microsoft”

Game Ratings
Game
Dynasty Warriors 4/PS2/Strategy, Action: This is very highly rated and for pretty good reasons. It has co-op, you can make your character, 42 playable characters. To completely beat the game you have to unlock all the characters, do a campaign with them, and get their best weapon. Sounds pretty easy. To bad theirs only about 6 campaigns, on 17 maps. You have to use 42 characters and max them out on 6 campaigns that are the same for each one. Its also a slight bit of a button, masher. Conclusion, good game to rent, not buy.

Dynasty Warriors 5/PS2, Xbox/Strategy, Action: Definitely an improvement from #4. 48 characters, each one with unique weapons and their own campaign, plus 38 maps now, but still a button masher, still a button masher.

Final Fantasy VII/PSX/RPG: A classic for the PSX. Rated the possible best game ever made on its release. It’s an RPG Lover’s Escape. Great storyline complimented with complex and diverse characters. Besides the odd controls and outdated graphics it’s a good game to buy.

Battlefield 1942/PC/FPS This is an awesome PC game. It has been the game in my computer for the past few week since I got it. It has solid graphics even with my horrible graphics card. The better the card the better the graphics card. The sound is pretty good and sounds realistic. The game reacts to things that happen like a badly thrown grenade, and you can hear the voice of one of your allies shouting. Also, mainly for the multi-player, are are commands you can give using the F1-F8 keys. That leads me to the next subject. Multi-player. It has good choices of different styles including conquest (no bots), co-op (bots), capture the flag (no bots), and more. The reason I mentioned if there were bots or not is because not all the multi-player choices have them. It's very good that the co-op selection has bots, because for someone who still has dial-up like me, it's almost impossible to even play online. For that reason I haven't even tried online. But sometimes when I'm tired of the campaign I will take a break to play a long game of any one of the levels and some added extra maps. You can change the length of the match so you can play against a lot of bots for a long time without the shortness of the levels in single mission or campaign. That brings me to the campaign. It is actually pretty good. It has a good choices of difficulty, and even adjustable difficulty. That means you can change the game to a level of play that you are up to. I has 16 missions, such as Omaha
Beach, Iwo Jima, Berlin, Stalingrad, and many more, which you can do from either the axis or the allies. It also has five playable armies, in four different theatres of operations. All in all the campaign gets a pretty good rating. It also has a bunch of different troop types with different guns each. The scout has a sniper rifle, the assault has a powerful machine gun and extra ammo, the anti tank has a bazooka, the medic has a machine gun and a medic pack, and last but not least is the engineer with the landmines and the TNT. And that's just the main weapons of each troop. Now imagine those guns. Then imagine them different for each army. That's how many different guns there are. With the multiplayer and online play this game has almost unlimited possibilities. If you buy the Battlefield 1942 Anthology you get the two expansion pack, the map editor, and the mod creator. Add those to the equation and you can have unlimited time on this game.
Graphics: 4.5- Really good even on really bad cards.
Sound: 4.5- A whole bunch of different sounds, ranging from different gunshot sounds to different voice commands.
Gameplay: 4- Good but sometime glitches and things that need correcting.
Replayability:5- Possibilities are endless with the adjustable difficulty, multiplayer, and map editor.
Fun: 5- This game is hard to take a break from. Once you pick up the controller or keyboard or whatever you use the fast paced action keeps you hooked.
Overall: 5-This is my favorite game ever. The game is just very good even for a game made in 2002. It would hold it's ground against more recent WWII games. This game is the first ever editors choice game for Captain Fredy's, and it deserves it.]
