Interesting game yet very graphic

I only rented the game to try and get a idea what the game is like as I have been disappointed with the Second Black Ops game as its story line jumped all over the place.  However while the second part of the game takes part with showing you on how to use the special abilities making it rather dull and boring, I must say that the storyline stays on course and has some intense graphic scenes that people should be aware of if they have kids playing it.

I grew up watching The X-File and when I found the X-Files: Resist or Serve at a local dollar store for ten dollars, I had to buy it. Some of the graphics aren't the best, but the intriguing horror storyline makes up for it. A player can either plays Agent Mulder or Agent Scully as you investigate a strange town filled with zombie & creatures. There's plenty of blood and violence, but I only wished there was a difficult level as I went through the game in one night. Overall, I'm satisfied with the game.

Graphics are good and controls are tight.  Story is interesting and it takes more than shooting to work your way through this game.  I really enjoyed figuring out how to achieve the objectives.  Honestly, it's a superb game for Gamecube.  I know most people are way beyond Gamecube these days but there are still some good games out there and you can play them on Wii.  The Amazon price is a bit high because this is an old game that is no longer produced.  I would check out used games or possibly a swap store or website.

First I must say if your considering buying this game, drop all expectations. It's unlike anything I've ever played. This is definately an adult game. The graphics are excellant, the storyline is supurb, and unless you have 72 straight hours to devote to this game, you'll find it very difficult to put down. This is a four disc game. Alot of the disc space is devoted to mini movies which tell the story as you progress through the game. The voice overs are on a par with cinema, and the gripping realism kept me enveloped throughout the game. The graphics consist of cg, and real video images, which really bind the whole story together. The game is played through first and third person perspective. Ultimately this game has a truley inspiring theme, and an ending worth playing four discs to reach. This game could have been a motion picture!!!

While I enjoyed the story overall, some of the descriptions are pretty graphic, violent, and disturbing. This isn't to disparage the work- it was just more than I expected.

The graphics for this game are absolutely gorgeous, but the main selling point of this title is the atmosphere.

I love the Resident Evil games, but Dead Rising really tops them with its bizarre and scary atmosphere. From killer clowns to scary families who like to shoot at people for fun, the game trumps all others in the survival horror stakes.

Strange and very addictive.

This game was very exciting to play with. The graphics were excellent. Each scene presented a very good challenge to overcome.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is a fierce, bloody, insanely cool and stunningly graphic game where the mythos of Ryu Hayabusa and his Dragon Blade sword continues. This time you'll travel around the entire globe to stop the tyranny of the deadly Greater Fiends, with an array of neat weapons, moves and combos. Design-wise the game is near flawless, Tecmo make use of stunning graphics to portray the story, and the music is fantastic in its own right. The story is simple enough to follow along with; monsters take over the planet, and you're out to save it. The only drawback is that the game is completely straightly linear, if you mind that kind of thing, and also that even the easiest difficulty setting is taxing and very challenging. I can tell you without hesitation that any higher tier of difficulty is completely out of the question for me. Unconquerable? Perhaps not. Absolutely extremely absurdly difficult? I'm sure of it. The boss battles in particular are known to be very annoying; every boss has a different weakness, and you're never clued in as to what it is. Blocking a certain attack, using a certain weapon, timing a jump, you never know what's expected of you, and even when you do, you're sure to be just a little bit too short of health to win, time after time. If you have the patience of a ninja, and can take in a viciously gory yet beautiful game, check it out. Just forget anything called "higher difficulty", as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist in this game.

Amazing graphic detail, gameplay, audio

Great story, UI

Uses some typical modern game conventions (creating, quests, skill upgrades, training), but it works with the presentation.

Some hair clipping issues during in game cinematics with Aloy.

Now at level 9, but now facing humans and corrupted machines; I expect it to get more challenging and exciting

Lets me Start of my review by saying, This is a Beautiful game, the Graphics are almost realistic even though some of the cut-scenes are sometimes very low rendered.
Anyways when the game is looking its best its awesome. Another thing this game will Piss you off, the game sometimes can be extremly hard especially if your playing on high diffuclty and if that wasn't enough the game is 15-20 hours long so be ready to throw your controllers. The Story is pretty deep even though you cant really get attached to the main character (Gabriel Belmont) I won't get into the story so I don't spoil it, but sometimes Gabriel just feels Generic with dull lines. The thing that stands out in this game has to be the platforming, even though sometimes it can be annoying falling over and over- the depth added in the backround as you climb tall castles are really fun. Last, this game is packed with hours of gameplay and will take hours to achieve everything, which is good because it gives the game replay value. Overall: If you like Hack and slash type of games with platforming and puzzle solving maybe you should give it a look- personally I really couldn't get into it and rather would play God Of war 3 since some times this game feels like it copies off of- but if your a fan of Castlevania, then by all means buy this game if not its pasable. Score 7.0/10

I have never had so much fun dying over and over in a game.  This game is brutal and unforgiving, but I keep retrying after I die, so there must be something to it.

The cool thing about the game is you can touch somebody's blood stain and see how they died.  It helps you know what's coming up (and most likely, how you're about to die). There are also glowing areas on the ground where people can leave hints for you, letting you know if there's an ambush ahead, where hidden items are, and things like that.

As far as the art book and soundtrack...I thought that the book would be larger than it was, it's the same size as the game's case. It's a decent book, and inside is the game soundtrack CD.

Overall, I'd recommend this game only to people who have some serious patience, as you're going to die a lot.

At the beginning of this graphic novel, a letter is stolen which sets off a series of terrible events. The novel is very political. It is also, at times, very hard to follow. I'm not sure if this is due to the fact that there is little dialogue or the characters are animals, or perhaps it is the sheer number of characters. Having said this, despite having to go back several times to try to understand what was happening, I found the story intelligent and intriguing.

And much of my enjoyment was due to the stunning graphics - what a feast for the eyes!. They are done mainly in light washes of blue and gray which makes it even more eye-popping when a bird appears done in a beautiful scarlet. I must admit I kept thinking that I would love to have some of these pictures on my walls, I was that impressed.

As I said, this is not an easy story to follow. I suspect it would take two or three readings to start to get a real grasp on this complicated story. But, trust me, it would be worth it if only as an excuse to look at the graphics.

As advertised, it is very graphic. An interesting storyline, but I felt some of the graphic content was there only for that reason. I also find it hard to believe people would fall to such a level of depravity so quickly.

I recently purchased this and so far I've enjoyed the game. The graphics make you feel like you are reading a comic book-type mystery. The characters are interesting and the plot is good. The only drawback is some of the long, drawn out conversations with guests and staff in the hotel. While informative, they can be a bit mundane. It is also a little time consuming just to get through all the conversations b/c you can't hit your forward button until the sentence is completely typed out. I just wish it would move a bit faster.

Its also a bit challenging at times. For example, in one of the chapters you can't move forward until you identify a name that is engraved on a fountain pen. To identify the engraving, you have to use either flour from the kitchen or chalk dust from the chalk board outside the restaurant. This is not something thats easy to figure out...I actually had to go online to a cheat site to learn this. I definitely would never have guessed that you had to combine flour or chalk to be able to identify an engraving on a pen! Definitely makes you start thinking outside the box after that!

Resident Evil has taken graphics and cinematic artwork to a whole new level.  This game is visually stunning, and not only has great game play, but is intellectually challenging as well.  Puzzles, traps, zombies, guns, knives... what more could you ask for?  How about new controls.
Everything about this game is outstanding, with the exception of the complicated control set up, and often annoying fact that the point-of-view/camera angle cannot be adjusted.
Overall this game is well worth buying as long as you have the patience to get past the complicated and annoying movement controls.

"Still Life" is one of those games in which you become immersed and wonder where you are when you log off. Jack-knifing back and forth from present day Chicago to Prague in the 1920's, the story involves the sleuthing 0f Gus MPherson in Prague and Victoria, Gus's granddaughter, as an FBI Agent in Chicago. Both investigators are after a particularly nasty serial killer. To cut to the chase, let me spell out the way I feel about "Still Life."

PROS: an interesting story, the characters well-defined and both the cut scenes and the environment are as good as it gets.  The opening scene in a ghastly abandoned Chicago apartment practically gets you scratching. As Officer Tate says, he needs a tetanus shot just looking at it. The snowy but cold and bleak scenes of Chicago contrast sharply with the Christmas lights  blinking everywhere. The lights do not provide comfort. The killer is afoot and lurking and the game programmers make certain you don't start feeling cosy. They keep you edgy- and cold.

CONS: I would award "Still Life" 5 stars if they had sharpened up their dialog and had not included, at the very end, a puzzle requiring advanced mouse or keyboard manipulation. Although the voice acting is, in general, good, the words they say are often ridiculous. You have Victoria, the FBI Agent, talking like a guttersnipe, and many of the prostitutes in Prague sounding like they just graduated from finishing school. The verbal interchange between Victoria and her father is stilted and awkward. Best voice acting in my opinion: Gus, Victoria, the "crowman," Mark, Mia, and the Red Lantern bouncer.

At the end of "Still Life" after you've gallantly come through the adventure unscathed, you are confronted with a diabolically difficult puzzle involving avoiding laser beams as you (Victoria) manipulate a robot. Success here is totally dependent on your being able to bipass the laser beams with your mouse or keyboard.

Although I had excellent walkthroughs telling me exactly what to do, I could not avoid the lasers and could not therefore finish the game. I was obliged to get a "save" from Quandary@quandaryland.com (att'n Rosemary).Quandary's experts  had succeeded in getting the robot home and had saved the game after the laser caper. All you have to do is add the saved game you'll receive to your Still Life saves file.
[...] is Quandary's excellent website.

Putting in a puzzle depending solely on the abilty of being an advanced mouse or keyboard manipulator is the pits and not appropriate to an adventure game.
