Great Action Adventure Game

If you enjoy adventure games, be sure to give the PSP version of Spider-Man 2 a try. It's got a nice combination of puzzles, exploration, and fighting enemies.

You are of course Peter Parker, newspaper reporter by day and crime-fighting webslinger by night. There is a nice amount of plot here, with well done cut-scenes that help to move the story along. You get the sense that you are participating in a sequence of events, not simply bashing away at random enemies.

The grahpics are really quite impressive, from the buildings you move around and the people you encounter. The cut scenes in particular are quite well cone.

The sounds are reasonable, with the original actors coming on to reprise their roles. Again, this really helps with the immersion factor of the game, that you are really becoming part of the Spider-Man world.

I like the fact that gameplay is a mix of styles. Sometimes you are saving cars from falling. Sometimes you are pulling down enemies in helicopters. Sometimes you are kicking and punching with street punks. In addition to your main objectives, there are other things you can do, other places you can go explore. It's up to you how you handle your current list of objectives.

If you just focus on the main tasks, you can zip through the game pretty quickly. But that is true of most adventure games. The glory is that you can roam around at your leisure, exploring the nooks and crannies, looking to see what hidden secrets are waiting for you. That is what helps the game last a long time and adds to the replayability factor.

Well recommended!

Another action packed adventure with Ratchet & Clank! Our heroes are caught in between a prison break of a dangerous criminal and have to decide what's the right thing to do? I enjoyed the new gravity based devices, return of some of the weapons, and overall level design. You will get to play in the Netherworld, or dark world of the Nexus. Here there will be these worm puzzles that can be both difficult and annoying, but with trial and error anyone can figure them out. There's also a Battle Arena area that comes in handy for weapons upgrades. If you're a Ratchet & Clank fan than you have to check out this game.

Great game! Step into the shoes of Capt. Edward Kenway during the golden age of piracy in the West Indies and take on the templars in this 4th iteration of the Assassins Creed franchise from Ubisoft. The multiplayer is also really getting interesting if you want to check that out (1 and 2 were whatever in multiplayer, and 3 was a bad single player game with a good multiplayer) as it makes this game the first fully rounded out experience offering a compelling single player campaign, and a diverse multiplayer for shelf life. 9/10

I bought this game at PS4 launch along with KZ and Knack.  The scope of the world in this game is incredible and the variety that it offers with island and underwater exploration really sets it apart.  Think GTA pirate style but with a lot smoother gameplay and controls.  Naval combat is wonderful and all the unlockables and upgrades give it great replay value.  It was an easy decision for me to pony up the extra $20 for the season pass once I saw what this game had to offer.

I love this game.  It has the same non-stop action as the previous titles but with much better graphics.  Co-op is a lot of fun if you can get other friends to get it.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a must buy for any PS4 owners who love action/adventure/open world games. The attention to detail shows in the photo realistic graphics, though they had to tone down the water effects to get the game running at a steady 30 fps. The combat is strategic as you have to tackle various types of machines whom each have their own weak points. The narrative is interesting enough to compel the player to keep moving forward in order to the what happens next. I wish there was more variety in the side quests as the game uses the same quests several times, in which the difference is just collecting materials, finding a lost item, or hunting down a machine. All in all, the game offers a compelling narrative with an exciting combat system and I would highly recommend this game.

This game is a lot of fun to play.  Gotham City is very similar to the one of Arkham City and then expanded upon.  I found the plot to be intriguing and there are plenty of side missions to keep you occupied as well.  The only reason I gave it four stars is that the game has some obvious glitches in it.  I've had it freeze on me several times while in the middle of gameplay.  There are also times when the videos being played would be choppy and certain functions such as silent takedown would suddenly disappear and not come back until I restarted my system.  Overall, this is a great game to play but this new company making these (Rocksteady made the first two) needs to do a better job with testing before releasing the final product.

This game is quite honestly highly entertaining.  It feels like you are playing the role of a super cop in a Summer Blockbuster Action film jumping from vehicle to vehicle and gunning down the bad guys.  Included are racing games and time trials to extend the action game play.  Personally, I give it fours stars for me but for the "action junky" I'd safely give it a five stars.  I'm impressed with how polished this game is too... Nothing to complain about as far as graphics, sound, load times, etc...

Shipping even to Alaska was quick and the game is a great sandbox create your own adventure game.  This ultimate addition already has all the map packs, so it's a great bonus.  I have heard there are several glitches, but I haven't encountered them yet.  Great game to pass time during cold winters.

An excellent game for those who like action and puzzle solving adventure games. This game was a lot of fun to play and i hope there are many more in this series to come.

You play as a male version of Lara Croft, and solve puzzles much in the same fasion as the Tomb Raider games but with a much more smooth and fluid feel to them. There is a real grand sense of adventure to some of the missions with a very Indiana Jones feel to them. It plays like a storyline, a leads to b which takes you to c, as opposed to a,b & c being individual levels having nothing to do with each other.

A very enjoyable game i would recomend to anyone.

Assasins Creed 2 is one of the best games to have come out this year. Im a gamer that enjoys variety in these types of open world games and Assasins Creed 2 greatly satisfied me with its variety of missions and fun things to do when you have nothing to do such as stealing, buying items, upgrading items, killing people, sidequests, and looking for treasure. This game also has a great story line thats filled with ezio wanting revenge. The gameplay is alot of fun as you can employ diffenrent ways to kill such as stealing an enemies weapon and killing them with it, using poison, smoke bombs, throwing knives, daggers, swords, hidden blades, and grabbing enemies, Trust me this game will keep you hooked. Its kept me hooked and i already have over 25 hours on it and im still playing it.

This is a great game. The graphics are amazing to say the least. I have had many hours of enjoyment so far, and have barely scratched the surface. I got this title on sale for $20.00 which to me was a steal. The combat is fun and the naval battles are fantastic. I gave it 4 star because I have played very few 5 star titles, and there is always room for improvement with any game. I would highly recommend picking up a copy if your system can handle it. If you don't have a higher end graphics card don't bother.

This game is a lot of fun and easy to get immersed in. There are very large, well detailed areas to explore and dozens of side quests to keep the story less linear. Many kinds of weapons and vehicles. I spent a lot of time sneaking around enemy camps and using different methods to take out bad guys; sniping from a hillside, leaping off a rooftop, or stealthfully planting C4 charges.

The voice acting and cut scene animations are very well done. I love the bad guys in this game. A lot of games go over the top with their voice acting but with Farcry 3 the baddies come off as real, twisted bad people. I do wish they had more outfits and said more lines. It does make it easy to spot the bad guys though.

The artificial intelligence is pretty good too. Bad guys will alert their team if they see something suspicious (like a body!). They also don't tend to run to the pile of fresh bodies to see whats going on so you cant sit in one place and take out a whole base. The dogs will sniff you out and wreak havoc on your well thought out ambush plans.

It's a resource pig. I have an overclocked Intel i5 (Ivy Bridge), an Intel SSD, and an overclocked Nvidia GTX 660 with 2GB of RAM. The video card runs at 99% and the CPU is usually between 50-90% at ~4Ghz. It eats up about 1.5GB of the video card RAM. With the game video settings on Ultra I get about 20 - 22 frames per second on my 24" 1920x1200 display. This plays surprisingly smoothly but occasionally it drops to 17 FPS and the video gets jerky.

Overall I highly recommend this game. I just finished it and plan to start over at a higher difficulty setting to make it a little more challenging.

Gameplay: 4.5/5 ( minus 0.5 points because driving vehicles using a keyboard isn't ideal)
Voice acting: 5/5
Story: 5/5
Replayability: 4/5

I love the game. It is a fun action/adventure/shooter game. It is pretty easy, so you don't have to be an expert to play and there is lots of collecting to do, if you are into that.

Beautiful graphics and landscapes with fun missions and well paced game play. Captures a lot of the great and enjoyable aspects of various games like the open world environment of GTA, the climbing of buildings of Assassin's Creed (and a fun power upgrade that allows you to fly/glide from building to building), a "grittiness" that reminded me of PS2 The Suffering. Very fun game play without any frustrations or monotony. Well paced and fun electric power upgrades. It's also fun having the option to switch hands (left or right) when using powers. The choice to play the game evil or good with a meter that tracks your actions is a cool touch and allows for interesting replay of the game (just beat it as Good). Choice of zapping pedestrians with electrical powers or helping and saving pedestrians on street is a cool & fun feature. One "mission" that I was unimpressed with is trying to reach certain checkpoints over a certain time period (similar to Assassins Creed). I find these boring and not very fun. Game creators stop incorporating these played out mission ideas on future games! $35 used on craigslist delivered to my house. One indicator that it's a good game is that I'm staying up until 3am playing.
