Let's face it; the Xbox 360 has been around for quite some time already and since it first appeared on the shelves, we've had the opportunity to play some fantastic games, many of which have left us with very fond memories. Of course it only stands to reason that we'd love to see the production companies producing a few more. On the other hand, we've also seen a few titles which leave a lot to be desired.
Let's face it, games are not cheap and when we have to fork out a lot of money for a game, we expect it to be good. At the very least, we don't expect the production companies to release a game simply because they feel their profits need to be boosted. What makes it worse, is that a game can still be good even if it has a poor story line. Even when the story is useless, providing there are some truly memorable characters, most of us will be happy.
For example, let's take a look at "Two World's", a game which very few enjoyed simply because the graphics were deplorable. Over and above the graphics, the sound quality was equally as bad. If you ever had the chance to play the game and you're honest, you'll agree that it was a total failure.
Then along came "Hour-of-Victory" which you may not have heard of considering it was a total failure. Unfortunately, if this game had been released a year or two sooner then it may have been enjoyable. By the time it was released however, the graphics and sound quality simply couldn't be compared to other games. Furthermore, at the time it was released, it certainly couldn't compete against games such as the "Call-of-Duty" franchise. All in all, it was simply terrible.
Vampire games are brilliant are they not? Maybe so, but that was certainly not the case with "Vampire Rain". As any gamer can attest to, a stealth game should prove to be a challenge as is the case with Splinter Cell. After all, fighting vampires should really be a challenge but if you can get past them by sneaking about, then it defeats the object of the game. It's hardly surprising then that Vampire Rain became an instant failure. What made it even worse was the fact that so many scenes had been cut, not to mention the game took forever to load. Even the sound and the graphics could only be described as being average at best.
Next we look at Jumper, the videogame based on the movie. When this game is originally intended for a cheap machine, we have to give the programmers a medal for making things look a bit shinier and also better looking for the new platform. Not in Jumper's case, though. Pure PS2 graphics, from beginning to end. This is an insult.
There are many bad games out there, and we haven't even started going through the list yet. Unfortunately, many of us are victims to this and there is nothing we can do about it once we have paid for the game. We have to learn by our mistakes.
If you really don't fancy taking your chances as to whether or not a game is good or bad, then you should ideally do a bit of research before you part with your money. In fact, there's no excuse not to, considering that there are many websites offering unbiased reviews. - 29872
