Kane & Lynch 2:Dog Days

Story: 
I never play the first episode before, but according to information from Internet, Kane is a cold-blooded mercenary, ever joined with any gangland, Lynch (with sunglasses) is a suffer mind sickness guy. The game said Lynch involved in arms trade with 
a gang. So, he request Kane came to Shanghai for help. Revenge & escape will be process in the same time. The final purpose is to escape from Shanghai.


Features: 
The playing was same as a game called Gear of War in XBOX 360. Find a wall for cover yourself to help shooting is the mainly skill. The theme of game mainly is Shanghai streets; the scene are look detailed and realistic, and added some light senor noise effect on the screen. The dialogue will be processing during the game, players are seem joining a movie. The gameplay is simple, keep shooting the enemies. Their ability like super hero, even against with special forces.


(It’s make me laugh. The indecent screen is showing in square.) 

Comments: 
Although there are about 10 stages in it, which not take much time to complete. That’s not expensive with the selling price is HKD 140 (XBOX version HKD 100) in Hong Kong. 
The value of the game is just for enjoy the real effects, and the excellent scene of Shanghai.


(The scene of Shanghai is in high detail)

This game is fun and easy. I like that no need take many time to beat. That’s torment ourselves, if a game which of the playing time is too long. In online mode, you can role the gang team to do money robbery, or role in cops team. It's count the round to see who can win. I am not interest in this mode. Basically, I think it can dispose it, if you completed the story mode.

PS3 - ALPHA II


PS3 Store - NEO GEO game available for download now! 


I remember this is called ASO II in many years ago. This re-make version in PS3 is called ALPHA II. I think it may different in between with U.S. and Japanese version of the name. This game uses the zoom functions to express the objects in deep or high side. It is an excellent system in the old time, and Super Nintendo can’t able to run a game like this.



I forgot when did the games released, I think there are more than 10 years ago. Just know the NEO GEO console was sold the game card same as arcade machine version, the price is particularly high in around HKD 500-1,000 per game, you can go to video game centers to contribute your coins, 
if you were not enough money. The PS3 version is HKD 76 on selling. May someone who have complex with this. It’s hard to assess the value of it. Also, you can download it for free, if you know how to using of PC simulators.



Today, there are really lacks of shooting games like this. I do not waste it, since a friend bought it and share to me. I remember that I can achieve third stage only in childhood, because of this is very difficult, and the rules are quite harsh. Obviously, the game developers are want people to keep throw their coins in video game center.


GUIDE : 

Speaking of harsh, players need to get enough for three parts in same type, then it can order the ship combine with those. Meanwhile, the parts are deduction of energy, when you keep using the special skill. At that time, the amounts of aircraft and missiles will be more; seem that afraid you will not die. Finally, the parts will separate by out of energy. Your light environment time is short, change back to nothing in the fast time. 

You can use the money to buy full parts during the pass stage, here is some brief as below:

HOME - This is not an additional attack, just for defense.
SHIELD - Defense better than HOME, but increased the ship size.
PHOENIX – This is Black Star for boss, you can press B button to control the invincible time.

I must buy the item as above, when I through every stage.

SIDE - This is a tracking shot, but you can’t press B button to control the quantitative, and soon used up.


LASER - Strong dual cannons, forced to use it when press the A button, it’s quickly out of quantitative.


BUBBLE - Quite useless! Press B button to shoot a slow bubble.
FIRE - Scrap it! Attack range is short, and not strong in strength.


THUNDER - Press B button can make a full screen attack, just enough for press twice a time. May consider to buy it, when you have money.

BLACK HOLE – Throw out a black hole bomb, probably enough to use 4 times. May consider to buy it, when you have money.

To beat this game, you have to plan to get which of good item, but also use the real-time save function is must. Just press select button during the game. It’s most helpful.

PS3 - FALLOUT : NEW VEGAS


You seem really living in wild, feel helpless! It was a painful experience! 

There are many glitch and bugs in the PS3 version! 

1) Player can get stuck with the object, could not get out. 
2) Game process always lags in no reason.
 
3) Story process conflict between some related mission, it make the story can’t go straight. 
    (In this case, player can’t talk with key person, or the main door was keep locked) 
4) Sometimes the V.A.S.T mode (Attack order) without response, because of the game still
    keeps loading.
5) Meet random crash when player open the doors to somewhere. 
6) Your companion will disappear for no reason. You have to load the old file to play again. 
7) Its take very long loading time during the game. Sometimes, the loading screens will no

    response. It’s mean that your PS3 get crash. Player is force to turn off their PS3 to re-load 
    the game from the console's start title.

What the seven deadly sins appear on it? That I have never seen before. Other game may also meet the same problem, but it was quite frequently in Fallout – New Vegas! 

In the game, most places are look quite similar, even duplicate, because of many 3D picture components are re-using last episode. This game just like an information or extra story disc, but the game selling at the hot cake price. I think it is so expensive. 

People said the PC version also including many of glitch and bugs, but the official launch a update pack to fix them already. In PS3 version is still out of service about that. I do not confirm how XBOX version yet, but I can make sure don't choose the PS3 version. 


Background 
========== 

This game system is same as fallout 3,
FALLOUT 3 Introduction (← Click for review, Chinese only) 



The game setting being adjusted with some different between Fallout 3, I believe that more complex and difficult to play. In hardcore mode, player need to worry about the degree of body water (H2O), hunger, food (FOD) and sleep (SLP). It was quite disturbing! Players are force to solve the problem of physiological. Meanwhile, players are bearing the long loading time to order the role go somewhere to find a bed. The role ability skill change weak and will cause death, if you don’t follow to do. This intent to increase the realism, but ask ourselves, as a game, is this fun? 

Game story is another place on the same world as last episode – Fallout 3. There are a New Las Vegas casino in the world, the role character is a deliverer, murdered by someone on his way, but rescued by a doctor fortunately. In the game, player needs to choose which side of the organizations to support; it will lead to a different outcome. If wearing the clothes on behalf of a group, there may be hunted by the opposite organization. 

Brotherhood of Steel: R & D armor 

Last episode, joined the Brotherhood of Steel, got training to wear the armor was quite useful. In the new story of New Las Vegas, the brotherhood armor becomes heavy & non-helpful. Take a look on the additional capacity, you may find it become little, or none of benefit. Brotherhood of Steel is the enemy of all groups in this episode, they being changed as second-rate roles. The strongest organization in the game is called NCR. The game cover showing the armor that you can see is developed by NCR, which is more flexibility to match with the human body compare with Brotherhood armor. You have to process more missions order from NCR, if you want to get NCR’s armor. Then NCR will send an NCR SAFE HOUSE to you as a gift, you can find the armor inside. 

In last episode, the gun were the mainly weapons. In this time, the ability setting is become more balance, when you add skill points of melee, players can also kill the enemies effectives, or add the skill points of science or speech, also can help performance the mission in other way, achieve the same purpose. 



Many missions are very boring, just talking with different people in everywhere while nothing else. So, players may need to read the long dialogue to understand what happen. 

However, shuttle to different locations need to waiting for a long loading time or may get crash randomly. So, I do not want to know what did the dialogged said. 


Primer of Guide: 
=============


At first, the game will use questionnaires to assess your personality type tend to the ability. You can change the ability figures by yourself if you do not satisfy the result. 

About the game process, the mainly points is dialogue with different people, then open the map, and there will show you what QUESTS to do, and where to go (As above the picture). Just keep talk & go, choose your favorite organization to meet the goal until to the end. 


 This handheld device is called Pip-boy

You can find there are many information, while the screen showing the map. Just keep read & try to understand, then will find it is most helpful. 


As above, the attack times are limited by the lower right corner of AP bar in attack mode; It can increase the attack effect, which is called V.A.S.T system. AP values are affected by the degree of AGI, it’s depend on how to set the ability at the first time. You have to pay attention on it, if you want your role is in the Gun fire-type, and the strength points cannot be ignore in the same time. 

How to share the Level up points?  

It is same as last episode; the max role level is 30 only. The skill of BARTER  and LUCKY are non-use. 

Money can be collect objects for trade keeps long time to save. LUCKY is increased the rate of opportunities of fatal and help collect treasure things. I recommend add other capabilities points is most valuable. 

If you want the role strong at science skill, I suggest add the skill to 75 is enough, because you can buy science magazine to add 10 points in limit time, and wear the chemical clothes to get more 5 points, total of 85 points is enough to solve most science problems. LOCKER ability add to 65 is enough,
then use locker magazine + 10 & wear vault clothes +5 are enough to open most locker. SPEECH add to 85 is enough, then use speech magazine +10 and wear a suit +5, it can help the role achieve max speech ability to 100 points. 

I find there are only the last stage of negotiations request speech at 100. In fact, you can choose use violence to solve problem.

About the other abilities points, just follow your favorites is ok. 

Many numerical of capabilities are complicated, even though I beat the game but still not understand all of their relative & effect. Here does not record the detailed guide information, because it should take time to understand the game first, then will be more understand what that guide information meaning. I think the information as above is enough for the first step to play.

Generally, It is more hardly to play for novices. I think it will force to beat it if you ever played Fallout 3. 

Although the 3D picture components are re-using last episode, the game concepts is the good point. PS3 version was happened too much glitch and bugs. So, please do not play the PS3 version.

YEAR 2009 – GAMES BEING BEATEN REPORT. (← Click for review: Chinese only)

There were 20 games being beaten in 2009, in order to compare the quantities of this year, it seems that I able to played around 20 games only per year.

Last year, all the games were played with XBOX 360 console. However, I sold out my XBOX 360 this year, because of the new XBOX slim version + KINECT on sales. It made the result of  old game report appear during the middle of year. 

At year end, I bought PS 3.

Now, I still not repurchases XBOX 360 + KINECT yet, based on three reasons as below:

1) XBOX 360 version doesn’t 250G + KINECT package on sale.
2) KINECT requests the size of your room.
3) Now, there are many good games in PS 3 and Wii,which I can’t digest all of them.

I think XBOX is the best between PS3 & Wii, I will consider to repurchases it if there are releases the new package.
