God of War!!
May I just start off by saying that this is possibly better than DMC 3. It's just that good. With the countless combos you can pull off, the two or three different fatality moves you can perform on each individual enemy, just shows how much effort SCEA put into this game. It actually has some history to it too, like all the greek gods like Athena and the god of war (Ares), the games got a great story btw. Plus all the unlockables are amazing. Another cool thing is that there's a lot of nudity from the waist up, because back then there really was, which is awesome that they transferred that important part of mythology to the game. Plus one of the best things about it is that if you have a class on greek mythology, you can play this and count it for study!
Madden 2005
This was a great game simply because of its wide ranged franchise mode. I loved all the different freedoms to trade players, fire, renew contracts and what not was surprisingly exciting. The replay value is of course very high because of the fact that you can play more than one year with your team or teams. But the best thing about this game, two words. HIT STICK! The hit stick is the single most addicting addition to sports games to date. When I play the other Madden games or other sports games, I always forget that square is tackle instead of the hit stick. The only drawback to the hit stick is the fact that it can cost you the game if you use it constantly. One of the times you're bound to miss the target, and you will undoubtably lose him and give up a first or a T.D. The damn stick cost me the Superbowl in the last 3 minutes of the game. But besides that horrible experience, THIS GAME ROCKS!
Mercenaries
Oh. Absolutely great game. I loved every part of it. It was hard, but rewarding kind of hard, much like DMC 3. I loved how original it was. I had never played a game that you actually captured and extracted terrosrists like that. I know that Socom was like that kind of, but you couldn't call in air strikes or get vehicle and supply drops at anytime in Socom now could ya? I loved all the side missions that let you make some extra moolah. The best part though were all the little things like the national treasures and the blueprints.
Reviews
Sorry to break away from games for a second, but I got a question bout reviews. I wrote up a review for DMC3, its completely done and all, but I don't see a post button anywhere. Can anyone help me? Post a comment or PM me bout it.
Dynasty Warriors 5
I hope that the 5th one will be as good as any of the other ones. It should have more characters than before (if possible.), and this time I think that it should have some in battle missions like Samurai Warriors did, because that made the game a lot better and gave it a higher replay value I think. I'm probably going to get DW5 the day it comes out, because it's gonna be so incredibly kick a$$! More so than the other 3 for PS2.
Star Ocean vs. Final Fantasy
Star Ocean and Final Fantasy are both great series' , but I got to go with Star Ocean. Mainly because of the free roaming battles, instead of the turn based ones, which totally suck some serious a$$. Even though Star Ocean has 3 games compared to Final Fantasy's stunning 12 game series, Star Ocean's gameplay and story wins over FF's repetitiveness.
