Review – Beast Wars: Transmetals (PS1)

COMMENTS 1. In the Predacon opening video Megatron specifically refers to the name of the Predacon ship as the Darkside.  Isn't this only the second reference suggesting this?  I guess that sort of makes it more official. 2. There are lots of little details from the show in there, which give it a really nice touch. 3. This game could not possible fall into show continuance though as BA is in he Transmetal 2 form and everyone else is in Transmetal form. 4. There are various extra things to do.  One is looking through a gallery of all the Transmetal…

Review – Fear Effect (PS1)

1 Player What could have been great is somewhat ruined by poor controls and insane difficulty. Though it looks like a shooter, it's more of a puzzle game, the shooting part is mostly there to make you mad. Graphics 10/10 Incredibly nice graphics.  The backgrounds are always moving (looped FMV), and they are very detailed.  The cinematic fit seamlessly into the gameplay, the camera changes angles once in a while while playing with little affect on the game play.  The characters are very uniquely styled and are sort of 3D anime styled.  This look could turn some people off I…

Review – Gran Turismo 2 (PS1)

1-2 Players Graphics: 9/10 Very nice graphics of over 50 different cars.  The cars look identical to their real life counterparts as well.  The tracks have nice texture effects, and you actually seem like you are driving at the speeds you are, unlike some racing games.  There is fairly little pop up, which is always a plus.  The graphics can seem a bit rough sometimes but not enough to detract from the enjoyment. Music and Sound: 9/10 The soundtrack to this game is great.  Nearly a dozen different songs by real, well known artists such as Garbage, Rob Zombie, Beck,…
