Jet Set Radio Future (2002)
Awesome
Jet Set Radio Future was probably one of my favorite games ever. Even though its a few years old I still love the look of the graphics. I think the gameplay is awesome, the characters are a bit ridiculous but that I think just makes the game more interesting.
When it came out in back in 2002 it sold poorly, it ended up on a bonus disc in an xbox bundle. I don't think anybody cared about it much then because it came in the same bundle as Halo and everybody loved that at the time. I think they should of given it a chance because when I first played it I thought it was great, and I still do.
The story was a bit messed up and confusing, the characters were weird, the whole thing was messed up but I think thats what made it unique and different to most other games.
I would highly recommend this game, I understand most people wouldn't look at it the way I do and I also understand that this game would be impossible to find in shops nowadays but if you do ever see it, I think you should check it out!
Extreme Movie (2008)
Terrible
This is probably one of the stupidest movies i've ever seen. After seeing Scary Movie, which I thought was great. I thought anything that ended with the word "movie" would be good. I was VERY mistaken.
Now where do I start, well I know comedy movies can be disgusting and gross like in Scary Movie and it can still be funny, but not with this movie. Extreme Movie could be funny but it just ended up taking the sick jokes way too far and actually started to really annoy me.
I mean, comedies can be as disgusting as they want as long as they have a story behind it and at least one normal character that can lead us through it. Extreme Movie had neither, it was just a bundle of jokes that started to get annoying quickly, 12 year old kids playing with sex toys, just about every character was some sex addict, and it was just horrible. It was a waste of money and time and the character you think may be the normal character I was talking about hardly ever comes up or does anything the rest of the movie is just about stupid people doing stupid stuff that gets on your nerves after a while.
I could probably best describe this as a deranged orgasm in the form of a movie, if that makes sense, because I'm telling you now this movie doesn't. See my vote to see what I really think it's worth!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
It's OK
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was an alright game I guess. You play as Harry and explore the wizarding school of Hogwarts, learning spells, fighting monsters, collecting stuff and more. I didn't think it was a bad game, however there was some stuff in the game I didn't like including that it wasn't much like the movie.
This game was pretty much made for kids, fans of Harry Potter, and people who aren't that good at games. At the beginning of the game you start off at the Burrow with the red head Weasley boys who I found quite annoying, especially Ron. While there, you throw gnomes around, face your first boss, and then go to Diagon Alley to do some stuff the next day. Like I just said, this game is for kids, fans, and people who suck at games. If you're a hardcore gamer, I would NOT recommend this for you because you may feel like you wasted your money after finishing it in half a day.
When you get to Hogwarts, this is where you'll be the rest of the game, besides the journeys into the Dark Forest. Even though on the inside the castle wasn't much like the one in the movie at all, I still found exploring it quite fun. There's secret passages and stuff to collect all around the school. The currency in the game is Bertie Botts Beans which you can use to buy stuff and trade with the annoying red haired twins Fred and George. Also, you collect Wizard cards, which you can find around the school, or sometimes they are rewards for doing stuff.
Now for the story, as I said before, its not much like the movie at all, I've never read the book but I'd say it's probably more like that. During the day, you attend class and do all stuff to do with school. When you walk into class you to do a challenge course to get a new spell. When you learn the spell, you have to use it to get out of there, when you complete the course it feels like you kinda achieved something. But then you see everybody else in class and wonder "Hang on, why did I have to go through this dangerous course that could've killed me and everyone else just learnt it in class like students are supposed to". Well, maybe it's all just because you're Harry Potter and you're better than everybody else. You also do Quittich which can be kind of fun. You fly along a trail of rings and eventually catch the snitch, if the enemy seeker gets it before you do there are no second chances so try your hardest or don't bother it doesn't really affect the rest of the game anyway besides house points.
Most of the stuff to do with the actual story happens during the night. Ron or Hermione will get you to go and do something in the school like looking for important stuff or i don't know something to do with the story. The night time levels can be sometimes harder because night time is when the ghosts, monsters and annoying prefects lurk the school. You would usually find yourself in a restricted area trying to avoid being seen. These were the levels of the game I found the hardest, if you get caught its back to the beginning.
This game was obviously aimed at a younger audience seeing as there is not much violence like in the movie, the characters are all cartoony and annoying, and the game is easy (like i've said a hundred times). Because of this some levels in the game ended up disappointing and boring. For example, the boss battle with the basilisk. In the movie, Harry picked up the sword, climbed up on the head of the statue and shoved the sword through the basilisks brain. The game was nothing like this. Harry picks up the sword, the basilisk stands off in the distance and spits poison at you, Harry points the sword in the direction of the basilisk and this weird white beam comes out and goes on the Basilisks face and the Basilisk is somehow hurt by this, after doing this a few times the basilisk finally dies. In my opinion, this was one of the lamest ways to defeat a boss i've ever seen. I understand they were trying to make it less violent for kids, but this I thought was terrible. It's like the developers were in a hurry to finish the game in time so they decided to not think about it and rush the last level.
Overall, like I said at the beginning, I didn't think this game was bad, exploring the school is fun, there's other stuff for you to do when you finish the story. Like I said, for kids, Potter fans, and people new to games, people who are good at games like me would finish it too quickly. The disappointment was that it wasn't much like the movie at all besides the basic storyline and some of the characters were a bit too babyish and annoying. Anyway, cheers i'm out.
