Spider-Man 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From the empire state building to the statue of liberty to the daily bugle,there's nowhere you can't go.Spider-man 2 is like a grand theft auto meets Spider-man meets true crime without the guns.The controls you'll learn in the first 10 minutes but swinging takes time to get used to.The map is huge.You can go to the empire state building,the statue of liberty,Oscorp,the daily bugle,Central park,and even you can see the twin towers memorial at night(well thats what I heard).Now on to Gameplay.
Gameplay:
The game is like the movie and it makes you feel like your really Spider-man.I mean you've got to get to MJ's play on time,deliver pizzas,go take pictures of yourself for the daily bugle,and more.Now you can see why Peter doesn't want to be Spider-man anymore cause on your way to your destination something happens which include banks being robbed,break ins and more.
Baddies:
Doc Ock is the main baddie but others such as Mysterio and Rhino are in the game as well.Even Black Cat is here but she's got no powers.
Audio and Graphics:
The audio is good and the music is great for someparts.The graphics are great too.Only the people in distress don't really have much detail.You will see the same people alot.Their mouths don' move which is ok.The cutscenes are excellent,even Black Cat looks real and Spider-man is perfect.
Swinging:
Now comes the best part,swinging.Theirs two types:Easy and Normal.Easy is well...Easy,but Normal swinging gives you more control over your webbing.This time you have to hit something to swing which means no more swinging on a invisible roof.Web zip is not the same.Instead of zipping like in the first one,It's like the movie how Spider-man pulls himself up to start swinging but it's still ok.
Overall:
Overall,this is a really great game.If your a Spider-man fan you'll like it like me,or if your looking just for a good game, you'll like it too.I suggest playing it or renting it before buying it that way you won't buy a game you don't like.Overall I give it a 10.

Lego Star Wars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This GameCube version of Lego Star Wars was released a full six months after the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game, an odd decision considering the frequently-assumed target audiences of the different consoles. Even so, this delayed port is nevertheless a very solid one, and gamers who have Cubes can pick this one up knowing it looks and plays just as well on this console as it does on the others.
Lego Star Wars is a game that is forgiving enough that children will enjoy it (i.e. a character who gets "killed" is simply resurrected nearby). At the same time, also has a few challenges that will give adults a share of fun. The game features a VERY large number of unlockables and extras that can only be completed by collecting certain items and collecting large enough numbers of the game's currency (known as bits). Some of the levels are not terribly difficult to beat - but can be challenging to beat with sufficient numbers of bits, some of which are lost when a character dies.
Of note, Lego Star Wars also has an easy-to-use cooperative feature, which is a great deal of fun regardless of the age of the people you are playing with.
The presentation of this game is outstanding. The graphics are beautiful and glossy and portray the "Lego" and the "Star Wars" both wonderfully. The cutscenes are funny and capture well the storyline of the first three episodes even though there is no voicework to speak of. John Williams soundtrack is here and the game even has the appropriate tracks for each level. Hearing that trademark "Darth Maul" anthem during the duel with the Sith is a real treat.
There are only a few drawbacks to the game. One, it's a bit on the short side - an adult could probably plow through the entire campaign in 6-8 hours. That being said, each level has hidden items and unlockables that are only accessible after you've beaten that level in the regular story mode, so there is a lot of incentive to go back. Two, a couple of the levels might actually be a bit hard for kids, such as the podracing level... perhaps all the more reason for an adult to sit down and enjoy the game with them. :) Finally, a couple of the platforming sequences have some odd camera angles that can result in excessive deaths the first time through, but this is less of a hassle considering the fact that it's impossible to die completely in the game.
Overall, though, this is one of those unusual games that is easily recommendable to both older Star Wars fans and younger kids... and is all the better if your household has both!
