Long ago the Dark Knight Sparda awoke to justice and rebelled against the dark emperor, to wage a one-man war to save humanity. Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all demons.
Residing in Fortuna, a castle city on the coast, this "Order of the Sword" has an elite group of "Holy Knights" dedicated to carrying out this very creed. Rising among the ranks, a young cynical warrior named Nero witnesses Sparda's legendary son Dante slaughter countless "knights". Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind?

Create your own daring experiments with Crazy Machines II! How will a toaster handle two whoopie cushions? The animation is choppy and most of the time your dancers are either not holding hands when they should or one person's arm went through their partner's chest. There was one dance where my dancers disappeared for a move but came back at the next step. There also seems to be some kind of disconnect between the dancing and the music. It's not very fun to watch at all because a majority of these dance styles are supposed to be full of energy, extremely technical and sexy but none of that comes across when you watch these pixilated mannequins.
There is a wide variety of music to complement the different dance styles, but the same theme music during the load menus will eventually make you want to just leave the game on mute anyway.
The judges repeat the same few lines and the announcer doesn't do much except to tell you that a certain couple will not be returning next week. The whole point of these shows is to watch the losers cry or have a fit, but none of this is included. All you're doing is watching your dancers go through the same motions week after week. You're better off watching re-runs on ABC. The animation is terrible, the mini-games are not fun especially when you have to play them over and over again.
There is no variety or other modes to play and changing the difficulty settings only make the game drag on even longer.

Chaos Theory Review. Blokus World Tour Review. Dracula: Origin Review. Since I don't remember the graphics at that time, I won't describe much. Maybe I just conclude it as playable. Talking about the control, I do not argue with Physics because I'm not quite interested in simulation racing games. What I like about the game is that it's not very easy to get used to the controls at first but I can easily smoke out opponents when I get used to it.
It's not as arcade as Grid 2, which offers Need For Speed Hot Pursuit controls for drift cars and almost not turntable cars for grip cars. However, I feel the difference between different kinds of cars and I can get used to it with a few laps. The details of the game is also good. There are sponsors and teammates in this game which are pretty interesting.
It also offers customization WITH free-rotate view so I can simply change and find a suitable one, unlike Grid 2 when I have to press the free-rotate view every single time and wait for seconds to look. The game also offers view where I can see whether I'm stepping the gas pedal or not, while Grid 2 offers too less car views that even Need For Speed The Run have more car views than it.
The gameplay is also pretty good that I really do feel I'm racing, sitting in a car racing in a track. I have to turn my car carefully in corners so my opponents behind me will not get closer to me. The sound effects even makes the race more intense in the final lap which I have to really concentrate on the road.
I feel the joy and say "Yes! The reason why I only rate it 9 is because of the long events. Since I don't have too much time racing, maybe cutting a race from each event is better for me just my opinion. Also, the flashback time is a bit short that you can't go back quite far. Overall, the game is really good, and it may soon become a legend when Codemasters keeps publishing some mediocre games like Dirt 3 and Grid 2.
A very solid and fun game, and one of the few PC racing games that seems to work well with a keyboard. Graphically impressive, and with A very solid and fun game, and one of the few PC racing games that seems to work well with a keyboard.
Graphically impressive, and with multiple racing genres, GRID will keep a lot of people entertained. The game's biggest issues are a very unstable frame rate even on a good computer and a less than spectacular multiplayer mode.
The single player campaign is excellent, however. Graphics are really nice and so is damage but thats about as good as this game gets.
Racing is mediocre. No qualifying so you normally start Graphics are really nice and so is damage but thats about as good as this game gets. No qualifying so you normally start toward the back. And for the most part it succeeds, eliminating illusion-breaking mechanics like game-over screens and long loading times in the process.
This re-imagining comes with a few caveats, however, and if you're a longtime series fan, you'll quickly discover--and possibly resent--that Prince of Persia is, far and away, the easiest game in the series. But if you can clear your mind and let the game's magic wash over you, its easygoing joy and visual beauty will charm you into forgiving a sprinkling of flaws. Elika grows on the prince--and she'll grow on you. In some ways, Prince of Persia represents a return to Sands of Time's storybook vibe, which had been somewhat lost in that game's two sequels.
Yet our new hero isn't exactly Prince Charming, but rather a wisecracking nomad interested only in his donkey named Farah, in one of several nods to previous games and the riches she apparently carries. His royal status is referenced but never fully explored, though his companion Elika is clearly a princess, and as the game progresses, you'll become much more invested in her past than the prince's. Together, they seek to imprison the evil god Ahriman, who has been inexplicably set free by Elika's own father.
To do so, they must restore a series of fertile grounds to their former fecund glory, thereby banishing the inky black corruption that has enveloped the land.
Storytelling isn't the game's strong suit, and the dismissive, often unlikeable prince is hardly beguiling, a poor fit for the captivating journey ahead. Thankfully, Elika exudes enough charm for the both of them, and the relationship they slowly forge lends plenty of emotional impact to the game's final moments. This relationship enriches the very core of the experience, given that Elika is not your standard game sidekick.
She isn't just a helpless companion, but an important part of a number of gameplay mechanics. As the prince, you will pull off moves familiar to franchise fans: jumping, climbing, scaling, and wallrunning among them. There are also a few new acrobatics to play with, such as the aptly named roofrun, where the prince scuttles along the roof in a vaguely simian manner.
But if the moves are familiar, Elika's presence enriches and enhances them. She will jump on your back as you scale across vines, reach for your helping hand as you climb, and perform an elegant pas de deux with you when you need to pass her on a narrow beam. While in ICO Yorda was totally dependent on her companion, here Elika is far more helpful to the prince than he is to her. She is, in fact, your constant savior, because she will not, and cannot, allow you to die.
Should you fall, Elika will grab you by the wrist and whisk you to safety--meaning the last checkpoint. There is a checkpoint at almost every platform, so aside from possibly having to repeat a few seconds of gameplay, there is absolutely no penalty for plummeting to your doom.
You will never see the words "game over," and you won't need to save and reload before difficult sequences.
