Sep 9th, 2012 at 12:28:54 - Assassin's Creed II (360) |
In Assassin’s Creed II, I love the way they changed up the gameplay and controls in the game. The game’s genre is action, adventure, strategy, and puzzle. I love the way Ubisoft incorporates every single type of genre in the game because it makes it much more playable and versatile. From the first Assassin’s Creed to this one, I really like the fact that they allowed the player to be able to swim, use different machines and vehicles, and different weapons. The third person view works so much better with this game because it allows the player to use the whole camera range and see the opponents coming from all angles, not just what’s in front of them. Assassin’s Creed II also has some cryptic puzzles that you have to solve to further enhance the story and this makes the game a lot more appealing to the consumer. By adding this, I feel like I’m not just playing a game, but personally getting to know the game’s characters. Ubisoft also makes the game different than other games by adding historical background to it. From the archeology of the city of Florence, Italy, to famous people such as Leonardo Da Vinci, the game incorporates many different elements to please their consumers. I especially like learning about these facts in history because it shows that I’m not just wasting my time mindlessly playing a game, I’m actually learning little bits about history. The design is well done in the game as well because they changed the health bar and map to make it easier to see what’s going on in the game. Adding different weapons to the game made it much more interesting also because it shows how technology and innovative weapons were coming along during the Renaissance period. As the game progresses technology does as well by adding the pistol, crossbow, and poison darts. The new machines that are invented by Leonardo also add much more personality and imagination to the game. The only aspects of the game I found bad were that talking to some of the characters didn’t complete the mission objective and that it would sometimes glitch during the cut scenes. Otherwise, the graphics were amazing for the game and the dialogue was clear and concise. Subtitles helped especially for the parts in Italian. I would recommend everyone to play this game and test it out for themselves.

The game I am currently playing on the play station portable go is monster hunter freedom. It is an amazing role playing game that is designed to allow the player to explore new worlds and build up their player's weapons and armor. What I like especially about the game is the way it is designed. The view is in third person and the camera allows the player to see the surrounding environment. One aspect that Capcom did extremely well is provide more detail to the environment and characters. They made it look much more real and added environmental affects such as snow, rain, lightning, heatwaves, and volcanoes which adds more perspective to the game. They also made it better to collaborate with other players by adding an online guild. This allows the player to work with other characters and even make trades. I like how they changed the health bar and map on the screen. It used to take up too much space on the screen, which made it harder to see the monster that was supposed to be slain. Another aspect that is exciting is how they added more controls for the character. The character is now able to use stamina a bit longer than in previous games, use different attack combinations, and heal while guarding. These controls create more flexibility and allows the players to utilize all their potentials. They also made more space for items and the character can hold an additional 15 items in their bag, but its still not enough to collect all the material. I like the video quality of the game and how it switches from the game's view to look like an actual scene from a movie. They made it so that you can also learn the history of each monster and what type of food they favor, where they live, and what they are weak against. Capcom did extremely well for this game and I hope that they include newer weapons, areas, and monsters for the future.
