Entry#2
The second time playing this game was, as I thought, better than the first. This game is so epic. However, there are some problems with gameplay, or at least in my opinion. I find it disappointing that you can not level up or get new weapons, or any customizing options for that matter. The game is very simple and straight foward, kill big monsters, and that is all well and good, but in the end I feel that it lacks substance.
The game is challenge segmented by bosses, and this is really fun because you just play one boss after another boss. Also, the game exhaustion does not really effect the game in a negative way. Health and grip stamina can be exhausted, but the game does not have severe penalties for exhaustion, you simply come back to life and take another shot at slaying which ever beast you happen to be fighting.
All in all this game is very fun and captivating. It is very easy to spend a few hours playing this game and not even notice it. This game is a classic because of its unique gameplaying experience.

This game is amazing! The plot is somewhat weakly established and loosely followed. However, the epic nature of gameplay and graphics more than compensates for the lack of story. The game has very few characters, and centers around a man asking a god to bring his girlfriend back to life. The god then tells the hero to run around and kill several Colossi. However, in this game I feel like the story line is secondary to the desire to hunt and kill giant monsters.
The map of this game is very extensive and looks beautiful. Similarily, the horse riding and body movement of colossi is very life like. However, the rules of this game create limitations around the players freedom of movement. For example, the horse does not jump, and getting on the horse is difficult because the jump button is the same button used for mounting the horse. Many times I try to get on the horse and only end up jumping up and down next to it. This game does not have a multiplayer option, and I always tend to find that to be disappointing in video games. But, the first time I climbed the fur of a giant beast to stab at it's head I knew I have never played a game as amazing as this.

After playing this game for another thirty or so minutes, I have realized that the game does not run as smooth as others. The animation is choppy at some point and its not overly realistic. However, I don't think these were the aims of the game desingers and the large map and options make up for these small problems. The one thing about the game that I do not like very much is that the game is not multiplayer. There is a few small parts where there can be a second player, but it is rather limited and easy to lose interest in. The game would be much more fun to play with friends if there was a multiplayer kind of battle mode perhaps.
The story line of the game is a pretty entertaining story but also a little bit ridiculous at the same time. It is fun and addicting with cliff hangers and twists, but the feel of it is kind of silly. The guest characters though are very funny and cool, and I also really enjoy the fighter jet and helicopter.
This game does things that no games have come close to doing. The amount of actions that one can do in this game, including gamebling and target practice, can not be found in any other game. This game is indeed a classic.

I have played this game before and have beaten it so for the first hour of gamelplay for this log I have been roaming free through the city. This is when the game is at its best because everything is unlocked and I know a lot of the secret vehicles and areas. The gameplay is unlike any other game I have ever played, in that it is so addicting and fun to just rampage around a city. The map is huge and takes a good while to go from one end to the other so I never really feel like I am limited in my options of where to start a new riot.
The game keeps the player interested by allowing for several options like different types of weapons and vehicles. You can even customize the clothes, body type, hair and even tattoos of your character. The game is realistic because you have to go to the gym to get muscle, and eat right to stay healty and buy new clothes and property to begin you're take over of the city.
The game is also fun for those watching the game play because of its bloody and outrages gameplay. There is never a dull moment in this game. One of the best things about this game is that it is not difficult of complex to learn. It is an easy game with little to remember other than some basic controls, no complex spells or magic.
