Oh, just gotta add. I bought Monkey Ball too. Liked it, particularly the multiplayer. But I\'ve just got too many quirky multiplayer games, and the single player is FRUSTRATING as hell. It\'s just like Marble Madness, only faster.. and with a shitty camera (I loved Marble Madness). So I took it back.. and got Hunter..

If you think the original Monkey Ball\'s single player is frustrating, than you should stay far away from Monkey Ball 2, as it is almost ten times as hard. I swear, some of the levels approach damn near impossible.

Anyways..Latest purchases..

1) Super Mario Sunshine . I am personally not enjoying this game. It just doesn\'t seem to have that level of polish most Nintendo games have.

2) Onimusha 2 . Lovin\' it so far, \'cept for the dreadful voice acting.

My next purchase will be Super Monkey Ball 2 , I\'m just waiting to beat Onimusha 2 first.

Super Mario Sunshine now owns my soul. For now at least.

I haven\'t bought a game since sometime around march.

I just bought:
Grandia II (PS2) - Enjoying quite nicley

Warcraft III (PC) - *insert Orgasim here*

Dark Cloud (PS2) - I enjoy this one allot to, repetative a bit, but still good, cant wait for Dark cloud 2

My next purchase will be the Network Adapter. But i still cant decide what game SOCOM or Madden, I hear SOCOM is having server problems...

Very nice. I picked up Dark Cloud, Grandia II, and Warcraft 3 within the past 2 months or so as well. I\'m not a WC fan, I only got that for my bro. Dark Cloud got very old, very fast, I\'m awaiting Grandia Xtreme instead for a dungeon hack. The DC version of Grandia II is better than the one we have, but since I don\'t have a DC, I bought this one not too long ago and have been enjoying it thoroughly since then! Have fun!

I actually a few weeks ago bought Red Faction. I\'ll include a review here as soon as I finish writing it.

I bought Grandia 2 a while ago as well. Great battle system, but the story just doesnt interest me (so far)

So I haven\'t been able to get into it. However I\'ll give it another try soon enough

Plus, the PAL version of it improved on the framerate problems

Just bought Wipeout Fusion today, played 3 races, and I kind of like it. Not as good as the first two wipeouts tho (although.. I have only played 3 races

)

WipEout Fusion is fun. It\'s just too easy. I was able to beat the arcade mode in 3 days...all 42 (I think) tracks. And the most difficult tracks, or so it said, I beat on the first try. That and it has just a few slowdown problems, very rare though.

I was thinking about buying Turok Evolution (XBox version).. but I heard bad thing from everyone but fans of the original. So didn\'t.

My XBox remains a dust collector

*wants Unreal Championship now*

Damn you Bobbo, you made me buy Onimusha. I gotta reorganize my game shelf, it can\'t fit in any more games, argh!

I was kinda glad to see it out on Platinum, was only 25 euros, might even be worth it, seems nice so far. I\'m facing the first boss now and he made beef outta my ass. (mainly because I got a bit bored and wanted to quit)

So far :

- Voice acting sucks
- Amazing FMV (no wonder it got all those awards)
- Rather pretty, but so far the backgrounds have been disappointingly static
- Awfully clunky gameplay after a hundred hours of DMC, but still waywayWAY better than any RE crap
- I think I\'ll like \'em trick boxes (puzzlefan)

My next purchase was supposed to be Project Zero, but since it\'s nowhere to be found and I got Onimusha, that\'ll just have to wait a bit... ... ... riiight, the moment I see it in a store I\'m gonna snatch a copy for myself, goddang this gamer soul.

You just need to use the down button a lot to beat that boss

He\'s very easy.

What\'s wrong with those trick boxes? Just because they are so easy?

« **Reply #88 on:** September 04, 2002, 10:09:48 AM »

I could\'ve whooped his ass easily, but as I said, I wanted to do something else for a change... something more exciting. Which ended up being PLAYING MR*DRILLER! DRILL DRILL DRILL LIKE YOU\'VE NEVER DRILLED BEFORE! And nothing\'s wrong with the trick boxes, I like \'em, me love puzzle, I just hope they get a LOT harder later on...

Here is my list of game purchased in the past week or so.

1. Super Mario Sunshine. I was disappointed by this, but oh well to each his own. Btw I just beat it tonight, and felt some of the later levels are there just to annoy.

2. Super Monkey Ball 2. Very good game, albeit somewhat sadistic to play. Thank Goodness they gave unlimited lives in story mode.

3. Onimusha 2. I am about halfway through this. "I think" I enjoyed the first, and so far I do this one also. If nothing else the cg is incredible.

4. The Thing. I played this for a bit, and was impressed with voice acting, but I gave up before I saw my first thing. I sort of lost the landing site. I will try this one when I am not as tired as I have been all week with work.

Hello
