My review of Jak X:
The latest installment of the ever popular Jak and Daxter franchise has left many people dissapointed. The game centers around the racing aspect, but Naughty Dog did not pull it off quite as well as in Crash Team Racing.
The race courses are huge, and destructible, but not very well designed. The racing was very poor, because no matter how good you are, if you do anything too soon or too late, then everyone kills you, and passes you. The story is very original and entertaining, and much of the original humor remains.
The graphics are incredible, but sometimes get in your way. For example, when a car explodes, it obscures your vision, causing you to crash as well.
The biggest accomplishment many people will make is getting angry, and throwing their Playstation 2 at their TV. That is why I give Jak X: Combat Racing a poor, 2 out of 5. in other words, this game sucks.
In other words, this game may only appeal to the hardcore Jak fans. Naughty Dog has left many a people dissapointed with this latest Jak installment.
Ratchet:Deadlocked Reveiw
What happens when you combine big guns, inventive characters, a good storyline, and a fox? Why do you ask? You get Ratchet:Deadlocked.
Deadlocked is the followup to the popular Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal game. This game has taken an unexpected turn to the life of a gameshow contestant. Ratchet has been captured by the evil overlord, Gleeman Vox, ruler of the popular Holovision show: Dreadzone. The game has seen many improvements since UYA, such as: bigger guns; badass characters; awesome worlds; wild story.
The game runs smoother than UYA, and has a new difficulty select screen. The five difficulty levels are: Couch Potato , Contestant, Gladiator, Hero, and Exteminator. The levels are much longer, and the announcers are much more funny this time around.n the funny note, one announcer, Dallas, says many time: Oho! This is more fun than a bus load of cheerleaders folks!
We here at DreadZone give Ratchet Deadlocked a 4 out of five 5. It would have gotten a 5 if the game was longer, and the frame-rate didn't suck as bad Dynasty Warriors 3 on the endzone Dread mission.
