Final Fantasy Dissidia

I'm actually talking about a recent game, I wasn't expecting this. Honestly I wasn't. I thought I'd go through some older stuff before I got to new stuff. Anyways, please note that I have not played the real game I am only addicted to the demo (when I get some money I am buying the game so I might update this then). So this game is a 3-D fighter, it only has two attack buttons, and what feels like a total of 5 or so attacks (if you are a player the NPC seems to have 7ish). The Graphics are beautiful, and it has some really cool stages. There are normally walls or things you can destroy in every level; also you can run up almost anything. Going back onto attacks, 3 out of your 5 attacks are ones you use with the O button. These don't deal direct damage to the enemy but steals something called Bravery which is what gives you Square attacks their power. The more you hit them with O the less damage they will do and the more you will do. You will also be able to break their defenses so you square attacks will do even more damage. There is also something called EX mode which you get by filling your EX Gauge, when you enter this mode you will be able to unleash a very power attack that can sometimes finish the battle. However to do this attack you must hit them with a square attack first then hit Square again, when you start this attack they will ask you to do something, weather it is spam O (hit repeatedly) or enter in a "code" (they will show you what to enter on the screen) if you do what they ask and get a "perfect" or "limit break" or what ever it is called for that character it's almost an assured one shot, if they aren’t dead by that attack they will be dead by the one you use to follow up with. I'm not sure if there is a very active story line but the whole jist of it is the powers of light and dark are going to collide in an epic fight to ether save or destroy the world. The character selection is very limited but there you shouldn't feel like there is no character you like or can't use. I feel that they put a lot of thought into who they picked so everyone could play as a character more suited their play style. Ok so enough with my rambling I am sure you want to know how I rate this game. Graphics 8/10 play style 6/10 (gets a little repetitive) fun 8.5/10 Over all 7.5/10. If you have a psp and a ps3 I'd say download the demo and give it a try, if you get addicted to it like me then buy it, if not then oh well.

Folklore

Folklore was one of the first PS3 games that I owned, and the first I saw use the 6-axis system well (where you have to move the control to get an effect.) The story was like a comic book; however this was not a comic I'd advice kids to read. Still going on with the story you could play as one of two characters. These two fall along the same time line and overlap from time to time however I wouldn't call one a main character and the other a side character. The game play was like Lost Kingdoms (will do a review on that game later) for the game cube, however with its own twists. Instead of your character fighting they "summon" minions/creatures to fight for them or use them as weapons. Also to get new creatures/minions you don't throw cards at them however you "drain their soul" (my words not the games) and use you the 6-axis to pull it out of their bodies. Another way of getting these minions is to download them off PSN (play station network), while downloading on PSN you will also get new costumes for your characters which can be cool too. Personally I found this to be a great buy when I got it (for $50 or so) and since I am sure the price went down I'd say Buy over rent. The story gets a 7.5/10, play style gets a 9/10, and fun gets an 8/10. Overall I'd say an 8/10! Enjoy!

My first post!

Welcome to my Blog, here I will write reviews on video games. I'll start out with some older games and maybe work my way to some newer ones. All in all my reviews have nothing to do with when the game came out only to do with if I think the game deserves to be posted. (I won't only post good games however.)My rateing on the game will break down into 3 different areas, graphics, playability, and fun. Hmmm other than that I don't think there is much else I can post about what I plan on doing here. So all in all I hope you all find this useful.
