Prince Of Persia 2008

Publisher:Ubisoft

Developer:Ubisoft Montreal

Genre:Fantasy Action & Adventure

ESRB:TEEN

STORYLINE

This is where the game does not stand upto the player's expectations.The storyline of the game is pretty simpe and common, but it becomes interesting as the game progresses.The climax of the game is fabulous(bit of a cliche), however the game fails to interest the player in the begining.One has to be really patient in the begining.

It seems that the main target of this game is to polish and ready our hero(The Prince) and therefore there is a strong possibility of an interesting and a powerful sequel,

But the game stands very low in storyline as compared to the prince of persia "Triology."

CHARACTERS

The Prince

The prince (our hero), who gets lost in the desert because of a sandstorm.He then meets a girl named Elika with whom we travel the game.The character and the personality of the prince appears to be very cool.

Elika

The presence of Elika leads to unique gameplay mechanics.She is the girl possesing the magical powers and aids our hero to perform various acrobatics and battles.

GRAPHICS

The graphics of the game are absolutely stunning, thanks to vibrant cel-shading and beautiful environments.The transformation of the fertile grounds from darkness to light is simply impressive.There are a few rough spots here and there, in the way of glitched animations and tiny frame rate stutters, but they barely detract from the lovely visual design.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay is very easy as compared to the prince of persia triology.You just have to press the right button at the right time, without worying about the directions in detail, and u can move to the desired spot.As always in any prince of persia game we face enemies,traps and have to perform various acrobatics which are very interesting.

ACROBATICS

Acrobatics are the major part of this game.Some of the exciting acrobatics involve the wall walk, Roof walk, using of the claw, double jumping and also using elika to get a bigger jump. Combining these movements is absolutely awesome.

BATTLES And ENEMIES.

The game has tried to prove itself different from others.All battles are one on one or u can say two on one(prince and elika vs enemy) normal enemies are quite easy, except for the bosses.

Further, there are much less number of enemies in the game.However one can enjoy to the full,the existing battles because of the capability of performing large combos.The most exciting feature is to use Elika's(the girl companion) magical powers combined with sword attacks of the prince.The enemies can be killed instantly by pushing them of the cliff, depending on the type of enemy.

TRAPS And MAZES

It seems that this time the prince has got lucky, since this time he has got no "deadly" traps to cross.There are very few traps in the game which prove no challenge at all.

There are a lot of different mazes and puzzles throughout the game, but after some trial and error they are a lot simpler to solve.Though there are some gltches involved in the mazes(like elika not coming to push the rod), they are a lot of fun.

In Short

You need to be patient if you want to enjoy the game.

Prince of persia is good because of the good level design, beautiful art direction, great plarforming and cinematic combat moves.

So all in all this game is a nice package and thanks to UBISOFT.

Thanks :)

Infernal

    Publisher:Eidos Interactive 

Developer:Metropolis Soft. 

Genre:Fantasy Shooter 

ESRB:MATURE 

ESRB Descriptors:Blood, Violence, Language

Infernal is yet another TPS with amazing graphics, gameplay and also has a good soundtrack.

The character that we play in the game is Ryan Lennox, a stylish(Tatooed ;) ) ex-angel.

There is a man who can feed your power if you'll help him restore the balance between good and evil. Of course, you don't really have a choice, and after a brief tutorial and some introductory jabber, you'll be blasting your hell-driven way through monasteries, aircraft carriers and satellite centers.

The mission(Which Black has in mind) has to be accomplished fast( :) ) and so the game has only 5 missions.The game has a lot of guns which fire as expected.The game has two basic attributes i.e. Health and Mana.Health is replinished after u kill an enemy and take his soul, and on the other hand mana is replinished when u kill a certain type of enemy or when you r i an unholy(Dark) aura.There is also infernal vision with which you can see the hidden objects(Health & Mana pickups and some digital door keys).Then with the help of mana you can also perform teleportation (initial to 1 place, later to three places one at a time.) and also give increased power to the bullets. By Double tapping the movement keys, the character can perform a roll rendering him invisible.(only through the roll).This helps you to pass through lasers and tripwires.

The gameplay is not so intresting because the enemies which appear throughut the game are the same old monks and some with extra power.There are traps and puzzles in the levels but they merely make the game intresting.The ending of the game i.e. the final boss fight is also a bit foolish. You just got to press the buttons on the three computers scattered near the boss(Black in Devil form) and that's it ,the game is over.

Otherwise bug-free, Infernal does have some trouble with collision detection(probably a Glitch) consistently, a problem particularly when you're hugging a wall for cover and peeking around corners to shoot, If an enemy charges to your concealment spot and you pop out of cover, your bullets magically pass through his body, while of course his (bullets) in relation to your body conveniently won't, i.e.it will hit you. The only solution's to back off the wall and needlessly expose yourself to enemy fire.

But on the whole: The game has got amazing graphics, not so intresting gameplay, a stylish character, not so cool enemies and a good soundtrack.

Thanks.

Call Of Duty 4-Modern Warfare.

Call of the duty 4-Modern Warfare is one of the best games i have played(Under the call of duty banner).The Single player campaign of the game is small, like it gets over in 6-7 hours at a stretch.But ya the level of the gameplay has been really good.All the weapons are awesome.The grenade indicator is better this time :) .

Several different missions like the one from the plane and helicopters make the game very much intresting.The stealth mission is the best one according to me.So there is a variety in the missions so it becomes difficult to predict about the next mission.

So thats all i have to say about the game.You all can share ur experiences and rviews about the game through ur comments.

Thanks.
