Dec 9th, 2012 at 15:44:19 - Sonic and The Secret Rings (Wii) |
Sonic and the Secret Rings is an on-rails action adventure that is very unique because it uses the Wii remote to determine whether Sonic moves to the right or the left. The story of the game involves Sonic the Hedgehog being transported to the world of the Arabian Nights, where he must team up with a good genie to defeat an evil genie who strives to destroy the book and be freed into the real world. Although it is not a very engaging story, it is unique how they incorporate Sonic into a well known work of western literature. Each of Sonic's friends appear with their original personalities as a character of the Arabian Nights. Each of the stages are very vibrant with color. Each of the seven stages has a large numbers of missions, with each one being ranked. The large number of stages and the players desire to achieve the highest rank possible will greatly increase the replayability of this game. The actual gameplay is very fun and engaging, as its very amusing to run at fast speeds and pull of quick reactions to upcoming obstacles such as enemies and environmental hazards. The style of the game does lead to some frustration though. Sometimes when Sonic is moving too fast, it is almost impossible to pull of the necessary reactions unless the player memorizes the timing. It helps that the game doesn't use lives so the player can retry a section as many times as he or she wants. Moving backwards is also a pain as players can't turn the camera angle to see what is behind. Despite some issues, Sonic and the Secret Rings is an amazing, fast paced, and replayable game that uses the ability of the Wii remote very well.

Battlefield 3 has a very unique multiplayer as it emphasizes teamwork by giving each player a role that he or she must follow in order to lead the team to victory. When a player starts a game of multiplayer, he or she is given the option to choose from four different classes, assault, engineer, recon, and support. Each class has its own role to play within the team. Assaults do most of the running in and recover wounded teammates, engineers have heavy firepower to destroy enemy vehicles and tools to recover damaged friendly vehicles, supports use suppressing fire to keep the enemies down and recover the ammo of their teammates, and recons stay in the background and snipe enemies and give their spot them so their teammates know where they are. The most satisfying part about this game is when everyone on the team does his or her role and the team is able to completely dominate their opponents through teamwork strategies. This is what makes this game so different than the Call of Duty games, as one does not have to be an excellent shooter or have amazing reactions in order to be good. Vehicles are also an integral part of the game, as tanks and jets can be seen as very useful resources that, if used correctly, can lead the team to victory. This game is good about rewarding teamwork by giving points to those who assist their team and satisfy their roles. As a result, even those who don't get many kills can still receive a large number of points and level up quickly. It is this emphasis on satisfying ones role and teamwork that makes Battlefield 3 such a unique and amazing first person shooter.

The game keeps on getting updated booster packs and sets that it current players do not buy, they will fall greatly behind to those who do have the new cards. As a result, the company that develops these cards keeps on making large amounts of money. This is a great social, as well as competitive game.

Either way, it is a great game that requires strategic thought processes.
