Looking for some opinions on a few games
I still have about $30 left on my Best Buy Giftcard and was thinking about picking up a game or 2. Right now I'm leaning towards Tenchu and Mega Man X4 but I've heard that both those games are quite short and may not be worth buying. I don't really know a whole lot about Smuggler's Run, SSX Tricky, or Nascar Thunder, but I remember all three games getting pretty good reviews. And for the record, all of these games are $14.99, so price is not an issue.
Tenchu
Mega Man X4
Smuggler's Run: Warzones
SSX Tricky (GC)
Nascar Thunder 2003 (GC)
Re: Looking for some opinions on a few games
Tenchu
Very good game, but hasn't necessarily aged all that well.
Mega Man X4
Probably the best of the X series. Worth the $15.
Smuggler's Run: Warzones
Bleh. It's okay.
SSX Tricky (GC)
A great game that is rendered nearly impossible by the GC controller. It just wasn't designed for it, and when the game demands you pull off tricks like "hold down, then left on the d-pad, hold L-trigger and Z, then press b, then r-trigger, l-trigger, z and up on the d-pad, all while holding left on the analogue", you're guaranteed to pop a knuckle, then an aneurysm.
Nascar Thunder 2003 (GC)
A mediocre racing game based on my least favourite motorsport. EA's is supposed to be much better, but it's still NASCAR, a sport which makes for a really, really dull videogame.
