Blogging the experience of gameplayhttps://www.gamelog.cl/gamers/GamerPage.php?idgamer=242https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1303One frustrating aspect of this game is that there are not many NPCs to interact with; if you get stuck or confused there is no way for the game to communicate the next step to you. I played this game a while ago, but there were some levels I completely forgot and had a hard time with. Usually if you don’t know what to do next in this game it means you missed some stupid glowing thing on the ground somewhere, which is easy to do considering the limited camera angles. For the most part the game leads you in the right direction based on where enemies attack you and where there is a trail of random orbs, the puzzles are easy for the most part, but there is too much emphasis on the player collecting random (and very small) objects. The cut-scenes flow, are relatively short, progress the story and have some humor. Even though this game can get irritating it is still a lot of fun. The player doesn’t get board fighting waves of enemies because there are some many different attacks, weapons and style specialties.Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:20:10 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1303&iddiary=2809https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1303I was hesitant to give this game five stars just because I’ve given every other game I’ve played five stars, I think that is because I’m choosing games I like, so yes, I think it should get five stars. This game is deceptively one of the hardest games I’ve ever played. The game auto-locks on targets and has unlimited ammo and that is necessary because there is so much going on and you have to fight so many enemies at once that if you also had to aim for the shots and reload it would be imposable. I am describing normal though, don’t worry, after you die three times you unlock “easy mode”. I got through 5 levels before I unlocked easy. The story is interesting and fast moving, and the dialogue is funny [strange =)]. Fans of the first game will enjoy playing this one, and people who hated the second game might still enjoy this one. There is not as much of a social aspect, unless there are a few people who are really into the series and would have fun just watching for a while. The graphics are great, very astatically pleasing. The only real draw back to the game play system is that the story is broken into chapters and there is a load time for each level. Over all I have a lot of fun playing this game and I would recommend it to people who like fast-passed action games.Sat, 10 Feb 2007 02:26:41 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1303&iddiary=2780https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1012I went through the first world relatively fast and got 2 magic flutes and 13 lives (the bonuses in this game are awesome). If the player beats three stages they automatically get a “1 up” but if they can collect all three of the same type card from the spinning box at the end. I wanted to see how far I could get through the game without using the flute, but at the beginning of the third world I decided to just skip to the fifth world which I was unable to defeat, the second time through I went through the third world then started the seventh and died. In each world the player has to progress through the levels in order, so really the only selection they have is which worlds to play. Usually the levels that should be easy are where the player make stupid mistakes (or at least it seems that way when you play). This game is very addictive because if the player realizes the pattern but makes a stupid mistake they are compelled to beat it. The levels are always kind of simple, even though the level design is complex, so players can get the feeling that if they try just one more time they can beat it. Trying to take turns is ridicules. Over all I had a lot of fun playing this game and now I’m probably going to br hooked on it for a while.Wed, 31 Jan 2007 03:57:02 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1012&iddiary=2185https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1012It’s a lot of fun to go back to playing Nintendo games after playing PS2 and PC games for so long. Even though Mario is an extremely simplistic platformer, it’s very entertaining. The controls and story are so simple that anyone can come into the game and start playing at any point. The levels are easy for new players to complete and there are hidden areas and tools, like the magic flute, to keep experienced players interested. The levels all have specific patterns to beating them, and the endings are defiantly ranked on how many coins you get, buffs (mushrooms, fire flower…) and how many cool combs and close calls you get. The level designs are extremely complicated and unique, someone who has played a lot can look at a level and at least know which world its from in most cases. The stages involve castles, fields, sky platforms, underwater/cave, quicksand and a lot more. The simplified graphics and trademark music make this an easily recognizable and loved game. This game doesn’t have a very developed story but the player doesn’t care because it is still a lot of fun.Wed, 31 Jan 2007 03:26:58 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1012&iddiary=2180https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=823For my second session I played alone in story mode. Story mode is a lot of fun because it tells you background on the character you play and shows what would happen if they win, it also explains why they characters fight (for the most part) so its not just random battles. I played the stories of one of the new characters and my one of my favorite characters from the previous games. I unlocked a lot of stuff which is cool and gives incentive to beat the game with every character, the aspects of the game that make players set goals are good because then you have a reason to play. The story is really complex and interesting. There are a lot of complicated moves I know how to do with some of the characters I played in the other games, but for the most part the really dramatic moves are hard to do and usually happen randomly, you can look up the commands and try the moves, but I like the randomness.Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:09:06 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=823&iddiary=1825https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=823This game is a lot of fun because there are so many options. A new feature to the Soul Caliber/Soul Blade series is character customization. I made my own character and had the choice of profession, hair, face, skin, cloths and colors for everything, that kept me occupied for a while but was kind of frustrating because the menus were complicated. After I made a character I played for a long time in the multiplayer mode. The graphics are amazing. The game is a lot more interesting when the backgrounds are so impressive. I like multiplayer because it is more social and there is more of a scene of competition. It was cool to be able to play the character I made and all of the characters I like from the previous games. The controls have stayed the same in all of the games which makes it easy to play this game if you've played any Soul Caliber game before and it makes me care more about the characters to see them in the sequels.Fri, 19 Jan 2007 15:46:19 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=823&iddiary=1821https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=480I like the RPG style of advancing story lines. It is sometimes hard to remember where the NPC's are for each quest, but its okay because there are many benefits. I did a few quests by myself then joined a group and went to the "Deadmines". Instances are my favorite part of the game, I like working in a group and interacting with other players. I went through many areas designed for different level characters, the levels are extremely detailed and unique, like every other aspect of the game, and there are definite set level ranges for each area, too high of a level character won't get any xp (Westfall) and too low level characters die, quickly (Swamp of Sorrows). It is very easy to really get into the game and lose track of time, I think it comes mostly from having so many objectives at once and really getting into the story. My cat is very cute and I leveled up to 31 (/cheer).Fri, 12 Jan 2007 04:07:59 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=480&iddiary=1341https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=480I am fairly new to WOW; I have a lot of characters, but they are mostly low level. My main character is a level 30 night elf priest. One of the things I really like about WOW is that I can have 12 characters to play as. I just started a human paladin a few days ago so my plan was to spend most of the time playing as her, however ,I left Northshire Valley after a quest and found the "Crazy Cat Lady", who I've been passively trying to find for days, so I switched to my main to buy her a cat (so cute)and didn't really want to change back, so I explored Duskwood. Of courses the server restarted in the middle of my playing. I finished a few quests, no leveling though, :(. I really like how many options there are in this game, all of my characters have different professions and do different quests, it nice to have so much control over the game, you only do the things you want to.Thu, 11 Jan 2007 16:52:10 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=480&iddiary=1191
