right, new and old games played.. heres a short (bloody short) snippet reviews..
1)
Ghost Recon: graphics.. lovely, but foggy draw distance, making sniping a chore. lone wolf is nice, as using a team can be tiring.
But overall imo its not a great game, you feel as if youre cheated, because the game isnt meant to be 'that' linear, and it fools you in to thinking that it isnt linear, but it is. Also you get the feeling that if you crawl about then the enemy cant see you through the distant fog.. well they see you before you can react
control wise its a poor mans Socom, and it isnt anywhere near as well thought out. also because they have tried to make the game in to GRAW, its just isnt what you expect. I guess if you havent plyed many PSP FPS's and you havent played GRAW on the 360/PS3.. then maybe you would like this game. After all, it has nice basic.. erm, nice graphics.
Brain Lara cricket: great lil game this, not a lot i can say apart from that its basic, yet deeeeep. very very much like the PS2 version, apart from the 5 day tests. if youre a fan of Cricket and you want a game on the go, this is just fine! im enjoying it, and i have no clue on cricket.. but a better idea of it now.
The Warriors: wow! i might just leave this at that! ..ok, i will go in deeper. the game is exactly like the ps2 version reviewed here :
http://www.psxextreme.com/ps2-reviews/420.html which Frank gave a score of 8. But the PSP version is better imo (i did had the ps2 ver), Better for game play, being portable, graphics and general fun.. its a better port. and it works imo better on the psp than it ever did on the PS2.
on top of this there is a 'Double Dragon' type mini game (theres lots of mini games, multiplayer batters/rumbles to play). but the DD type of game is very very cool and really well animated. you play as Swan (a character from the film), very cool. so you go out and steal, rob, riot, have fights, go 70's gang stuff...
Read Franks review and add an extra point for the psp vesion for the bits i have mentioned. i heartily reccomend this game.
Shinobido: quality game, more action than Tenchu, and as for psp to psp, head to head between Tenchu PSP and Shinobido psp.. i have to say Shinobido is the better game. Tenchu should of been bloody amazing, if they had given us a port of the ps1 Tenchu 1 or 2, that would of been far better. Anyway, Shinobido improves on all of this, draw distance, missions, graphics, characters, gameplay.. everything! plus there are even missions to download that some bright spark has made up for us. one is even Tenchu's famous mission 'kill the evil merchant' lol. great game over all.
anyway, thats it, ive played more.. and will post my impressions as soon as i remember what games they were (lol).
dont forget that this month or very early next month is the new firmware update! which has some secret charging feature explained better here..
