Today was one of the best videogaming related days I\'ve had in a while. First my good friend Eddie came over from Richmond, Canada. He\'s affilated with sony, we went to the mall to hang out. But it turned out to be pretty boring, so he told me that he had Onimusha in his car (He\'s got a PS2 installed in his car, don\'t ask me how he did it). What could I say but "LETS GO!!!!".
Onimusha is the best game ever for the PS2, and maybe one of the greatest ever on any console. The Graphics are spectacular the game play is superb. The Pre-Rendered backrounds look awesome, and unlike the Final Fantasy backrounds, these ones are somewhat Interactive. You can pick up wooden boxes, sticks, leaves etc. are all interactive. The controls are like Resident Evil, personally I don\'t like those controls, they seem a little loose to me. But nonetheless after you get the hang of em, they are a breeze. Say for instance you are behind your enemy, and you hit a button, it will do attack that will chop your opponents head off. But if your infront of your opponent, it will just be a normal swing of the sword, and you won\'t do much damage. You will have to try more advanced attacks.
The Game is still hack and slash, but my friend says the story starts later in the game...about 3 hours into it, you will get involved. So that tells you this game is pretty long (unlike that other highly anticipated game
). You will not be dissapointed with this one gamers. Or at least I wasn\'t.
Now thats not all...., My second strike of luck came just about 1 hour ago. When I went with my other friend to Circuit City to pick up a tape for his Video Camera (BORING!!). So I started making my way to the Video Games Section. Where they had a PS2 sitting in display for customers to play....Nothing out of the ordinary right?...well as I walked closer, I saw a little midget playing a racing game. I almost wet my pants when I saw that the game was GT3!!, I quickly Ran towards the Display and the little kid quickly got of it (I don\'t know if it was fear from me because I was bigger, or if it was the weird ass look I had on my face in excitment
) Anyhoo...He left and I grabbed the controller. He had picked the S2000, but I didn\'t really give a lobster\'s left testicle about what car he had picked. I just started playing...It was beatuyful, Im not quite sure what the level was called, but it was the one where the sunlight came through the trees (The only way this game could have been more realistic would be if you could actually feel the sunlight)...I quickly hit the accelarator, but then realized that the Turning and steering in this game was very hard. It was like driving a real car. I played for about 20mins. Through the same level. I picked all of the cars available, they were:
Honda S2000
Mustang
And some car called NRS. (sorry im not a car expert)
These two games are everything they are hyped up to be.
Anyway to offer you prove, I can only prove the GT3 because it was located at an actual store. Here\'s the address:
Meridian Street
Bellingham, WA, 98226
Circuit City
It\'s right by my house, I\'ll go back later today to play some more. As for onimusha, I\'ll play the next time when everyone else does, March.
If you guys have some questions, I will try to answer them, but remember I only played Onimusha for about 30mins. and I played GT3 for about 25mins.
