PS3 CRYSIS 3

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )




A normal FPS game with no surprise

The pervious chapter has introduced before:
CRYSIS 1
CRYSIS 2
Initially, the story line seem no relationship between 1st and 2nd episode.  In 3rd episode, the story line has been integrated and explained the sources of biological armor.  After 24 years from 2nd episode, the CELL enterprises used advanced technology in order to governance the New York.  Only 1 of armored holders being frozen, then who has rescued by rebels.  However, they found the CELL is not the ultimate performer, it is the aliens still behind the project.


The screen doesn't breakthrough on PS3.  It must affect the game fluency and the picture of clarity, if the setting are turning on the lens reflex effect.  So, here to suggest  turn it off in OPTION page. 


In the gameplay, a special bow added to the basic equipment.  It has made the game more section to sneak for assassination, which also is a major feature of it.

Conclusion:
This game has made a lot of advistment and grant some awards on it.  The price started at over HKD 300. 



After played , I feel there were no surprise.  The screen are so beautiful, but the game process with little bit lag.  

Due to the game length being shorten.  I suggest re-play the single with the hardest mood.  It's still feel funny.   Based on the price and various considerations, this game is worthy of recommendation.  It's just HKD 110.

IOS Trigger Chrono

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )

 


This is RPG masterpiece, don't be missed
In Super Nintendo, this game has already so famous.  I Games Mask also played, but I am not understand the game instructions and the story, because  it is Japanese.  So, I give up at the old time.  I remember  its has launched English version.  However, my english not quite good during the school time.  It have become a kind of regret. 

Today, IOS has already launched a Chinese Version of its (You can turn to English).  Then, I can understand to command control and the story line.  Although the story seem old-fashioned, it has express a timeless romance. 




The battle mood is base on real-time basic, while not is the type like minesweeper.  Story would interspersed to different times, which affecting to the different results.  So far, this concept is still a breakthrough.

The cutscenes from PSone version does not record in IOS version.  I suggest you can finish it then find the missed cutscenes from Youtube.  Anyway, I think IOS is more convenient to play such type of old game. 

Conclusion:
Don't miss it, if you like old Japanese RPG.  Here is highly recommend.   The story through to different time, and this product launched until to now, which the creativity are showing it is remains a first-class shuttle work.

PS2/PS3 - Metal Gear Solid 2 HD

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )



Much better than the 1st episode

Last time, it has been introduced the 1st episode.(METAL GEAR 1)


(The picture performance is better, when its ported to PS3)

The story line was after 2 years of last episode.  The Metal Gear develope technology has spread in the black market.  This time the protagonist of Snake who estabilsh a liberties groups, which the mission are destroy all the Metal Gear.  There are lot of mystery out of the lead, and associated to the new person - Radian.

New character - RADIEN

There are more specific explanation for next task compare with last episode.  So, if not read any walkthrough is OK.   Also, the game control is much better than last episode.  If who has played 1st chapter, then must be more familiar with operating.  Otherwise, who may take some time to practics or find some walkthrough.

The only 1 bad point is that too much dialogue.  I think some of these is not necessary, but it is incurable disease of Japanese style.  Nowadays, the picture were created by ten years ago, but its still beautiful with no bad feeling for playing a old game. 



The complete version of the selling price, it has already from HKD 388 dropped to HKD 338. (10.12.2013)


The game will issue a code being complete
TANKER-PLANT
CODE NAME

PS3 Medal of Honor Warfighter [Limited Edition]

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )




Always some reason behind lower prices
I bought it at HKD 90. 
(30.11.2013)  I think EA + Medal of Honor must be a better game. 

The story is taking about a special forces perform any missions, which nothing special.  This is not the main point. 




Unfortunately, the picture look quite rough.  The enemies reactions are fixed.  You are easy  to complete all of 13 stage at a short time.  It is totally a low-cost production.  I think this is no worth to mention it.  After,  I  am horrible to found a mall selling this game at HKD 50.  I will disclose where is it when I resell this game. 

 ======= 9.12.2013 =======
It was amazing that this game can sold HKD 90 in Yahoo auction.
In fact, this game with first hand just selling at HKD 50 at Kwun Tong MTR station in Hong Kong.

PS3 RIDGE RACER 7

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )



May could not stand at the best racing series
This game has already launched for several years, and I played for several years.  The reason not is too good for play.  In fact, this is boring.  

Here, noted the bad points:
1) The controller doesn't support shock effect

2) The speed is too exaggerated, which far from realism
3) About more than 4 track compare with chapter 6
4) The final races still related with the cars named angel & devil compare with chapter 6
5) Overall, the stages are more than chapter 6, but most of them are combine and 
repeatedly.


General, I think this couldn't be named RR 7, may be named RR6 PLUS should be more suitable.  In other words, I suggest who played chapter 6 are no need to play episode 7.  Although, the screen of RR 7 is little bit more delicate, this is not much affect the fun. 

In order to satisfy the dedication to the RR series, I force myself to play little bit occasionally during the past years. (The other reason is playing GT5)  Finally, I completed it, but there are appear some extreme courses after that.  I gave up at the last 4 courses, because these are too hard for me, even I got the angel car.  This is same the situation in chapter 6.  I don't want like a autistic children  to do the same thing again.  It is pressure rather than entertain. 


Easy way to get angel and devil car:
As above, just finished the main course will appear Extreme courses.  Then, complete those courses about 20 races.  The courses with those 2 car will appear.  I of the course is against with Monster car, which may hard to win.  I suggest you can get the angel car first. 



Guide-Devil Car:
This car will be stopped and waiting for you at the third lap.  At that time, you turn back to meet in front of it.  Then, drive and touch its front (or the little bit side also ok).  Just, press the accelerator by slowly rhythm
.  You can see the car is pushing back with the view under the white lines.  Until to the distance of the end about 3 parking spaces away, the screen will indicate that you have limit time to finish this lap.  You can leave now, and x 3 nitrous before the end of the tunnel.  It will easy to beat it. 


(This design seem not good at all

Guide-Angel car:
Select the longest body as rocket car first.  Drive it to the audience near the ramp.  Take a look the the right side.  There is a small square and allow you move in.  Then, drive back out toward to the against line, lets your car stopped in little slopped.  The purpose is made an obstacle to lead the opposite crash in to the square.  Be remember holding the stop button waiting for it coming.  If it hit you right, it will dying inside.  
It's also easy to beat it. 

Although, both of them are easy to get, after 4 course still quite difficult.  I found there is no second ending, so I do not finish it. 

Conclusion:
Today, the game price is only HKD 120. (25.11.2013)  The track are cool design ever, but the gameplay lose the realism compare with pervious chapters.  I think this RR couldn't stand as must play racing series.  It seem can not make any break out.  I really missing the feeling the pass time played RR4-5.

PS3 Dragon's Crown

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )



The 2D version of Diablo

So far, it is the PS3 exclusive.  This is a tradition story between warriors with dragon.  It is so impressed to knew that 2D action game return to the gaming area.  The game price was HKD 489, which is very expensive compare with others.  I think the reason of the hand-drawn of 2D grid are complicated, and this is rare 2D style game for nowadays. 




On the surface, there are 9 levels of the stage.  You can play online with others when you finished such levels.  After, every stage will open the second routes for each.  I should say there are total of 18 + 1 stages.  + 1 is meaning of the final boss when you completed 18 basic levels.  If you are familiar with the game process, each characters just spend 2.5-3 hours for complete. 

In order to lengthen the playing time, the game has set 3 cycles + 99 layer maze.  Overall, the treasures appear structure  are similar  as Diablo, which are random with ranking, such as equipment with rank A is better than rank B.  You may start to tired when arrived to cycles 2.  Meanwhile, the game music are quite boring.  I am bear the boring mood to completed 3 cycles, and my character achieved level 85.  At that time, I give up to play. 

For more trophies, you can play more time on it.  Some of mission that you may not understand the purpose, then  just type the mission name into YOUTUBE.  

6 o'clock position on the map clockwise, the goblins, Amazon warrior, Male soldier, Female magician, Male Shaman, Dwarves

I had experienced 6 characters.  I think the most fun and useful  is male shaman, the second is Amazon warrior, followed by Male soldier.  Although others have their own advantages, may not good for novice. 


As above, she is the most popular one and the control is similar as Male Shaman.  I think the reason of popular is needless to say here. 



Conclusion:
I think this is not fun as my expectation.  Overall, the gameplay is feeling of dull, even if the online play with others.  The screen always look mess and cannot distinguish the enemies between players.  You just watching so much of hit figures in font of you.  Anyway, this is praiseworthy for 2D game could able to designed as such length.  I hope that modern can be use in Double Dragon, Final Fight, Streets of Rage for help them re-back to the gaming area.  Finally, I think this game is not worth if the value over HKD 300.
