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.

PS1 / PS3 - Metal Gear Solid 1

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )



Last time, I played Metal Gear Solid 4, then wanted to know the source of these series.  I chose to sold out the chapter 4 and add the different to obtain Complete Edition. 

HKD 388 available at Kwun Tong Plaza

I am disappointed for the discs doesn't record 1st chapter, while you should use inside the download code. 

Today, those screen are feeling with off-putting.

(As above is the PSX capture, which the screen better than original.

Just start and bear the low quality picture.  I think the gameplay should be good and it can finish by myself.  The result was told me that I am wrong.  In fact, this game is quite hard and not enough information for hints.  That's the develop purpose was length the playable time obviously.  If you not find some walkthrough, then you are hard to know what the purpose in the game. 

The walkthrough as below:


Additional, 1 of the boss who can able to mental manipulation.  You should use controller of players 2 to fight, otherwise you can't aim on him.  On PS3 of wireless controller, just press the HOME button, there are the options for turn it to Player 2. 

You can obtain a somethings when being completed:

CODE NAME : ELEPHANT

SPECIAL ITEMS
"CAMERA"
"BANDANA"

METAL GEAR REX

Story:
Snake was accepted an order to rescue two key persons, but fail.  Then, he is going to stop or destroy super weapon as METAL GEAR REX. 


Comments:
Poor control with not fun at all.  I describe it is suffering.  Even watched the walkthrough, I still die many times to fight against the boss.  I spent 12 hours to finished whole the game.  I suggest don't spend time on it.  Only watch the walkthrough movie as the above link should be better.

PS3 - GTA V

Cantonese / Tradition Chinese / English )




LIVE LIKE A MADMAN
This is the famous action game.  The first day of sale, there are long queues at every shops.  Most of the players want to obtained its at the first time.  Today, it is still expensive with the price at HKD 368-398, but inside of the 3D world is very ambitious, which showing the development costs were not normally. 

Here is using a point system is make a comparison with last episode. 





1) Map is more ambitious
2) The active of picture are more fluid with detailed
3) Reduce the shootout, but increased driving condition for every mission.
4) The police doesn't sensitive, players can be more attentive. 
5) The house can collect 2 vehicles. 
    ( Last episode can only keep 1 vehicles)
6) It will re-start at the first place if you fail the mission. 
    (last episode, you have to drive to the place again)
7) The vehicles are more easy to control with realistic feeling of speed.  

    Driving becomes more funny. 
8) Many things are free to do, such as Stock market speculation, Yoga, Tennis, Golf, Aircraft and boat, Desperate skydiving, Running, Cycling, go to the playground to play rides, darts, even have Ironman. 

I think the main story length 
are stable, and the gameplay is easy than last episode.  Although, there are many leisure things can do, many of them are the boring mini games.     

On-line mode is the game changed into level up style, through to the group tasks to earn experience and money, in order to obtain better homes and weapons.  However, I found there are hard to muster the sufficient players for those tasks.  Also, it is hard to make appointment with real friend, because are they willing to pay such price at the same time? 

Therefore, I suggest treat this game just for finish main story only.  There are some other quests, but some of them are don't know how to achieve.  It is only for lengthen the playable time.  On Chinese version, I am a Hong Kong do not quite understand some of Taiwan dialogue.



The story is seriously, it is talking about the culprits with the conflict of interest between FIB, which related with 3 family with facing the different situation.  The game treat this topic as joke with simple to express the person temperature. It make the game over is laughing.  This is the what I got the most entertainment on it.  I am thinking is it the story talking the contradiction of American Dream?


About the prices, I think it is very expensive, but I couldn't  deny that is high develop costs.  If you just like me who want to play main mode only, I suggest waiting for the price drop.  In fact, It is not so good play like everyone imagined.
