Rate the Last Game You Finished

[GaryCXJk]

I'm afraid to say this, but the last game I actually finished was before Christmas, which was the Blackwell Deception, and we all know what I think about the game.

For those who don't know, it's probably the only thing involving ghosts that I will keep playing.

[Secret Fawful]

10/10

Why a perfect score? I think it's because the game accomplishes everything it sets out to do, feels cohesive, and because its mechanics and humor both work. It's pretty good, and it ends in a way I didn't see coming (if you play the dlc afterward).

To sum it up: If old-school Lucasarts and Earthbound had an 8 hour baby.

[Johro]

I really enjoyed that game as well. Even with the added content, it left me wanting more.

[Darth Marsden]

Ratchet & Clank. 7/10. Here's why.

[Secret Fawful]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis [Team Path]: 10/10

Brilliant puzzles. Just brilliant. Technologically, for the time, this is one of LucasArt's most impressive games.

[Secret Fawful]

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:

Suck it, GuruGuru214.

4/10

I don't really like the game too much: I'd say it's easily my least favorite of the Lucas library, but it has some funny lines at the end, and it is shithard at the end too. And while the fighting system on Atlantis is awesome, the fighting system in Crusade sucks ass.

Beneath a Steel Sky-

7/10

Eh, it's all right. The graphics are great, and Joey is a great character, and it has some good twists but....I don't feel it's as polished as Revolution's later BS series. The opening cutscene is terrible. The ending is just kind of there. But it was a fun ride.

[Farlander]

I don't feel it's as polished as Revolution's later BS series.

Funnily enough, the Director's Cuts/Remastered versions of BS1 and BS2 don't feel as polished as, well, original BS1 and BS2

Prince of Persia 2008, still a 9.5/10

I normally go online afterwards to take a look at the "epilogue" via youtube. But that's just NOT the ending. The ending's in the game.

[Darth Marsden]

Ooo, once again I get to point out that the DS game is actually the conclusion to the story! Yay!

[Vainamoinen]

That thing is a travesty, and I'll not consider it. If I wanted Super Mario of Persia, it would be a different matter.

[Darth Marsden]

Spoilsport.

Last finished Ratchet & Clank 2. 8/10. Another written review explaining why! Woo!
The review was written years ago, but I think it still holds up. Enjoy, et al.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb 9/10

Totally underrated. Only problem I had with it was there were no checkpoints.

That's a pretty big problem there. Unless you can save at will.

Sadly, no. The individual levels are very short though, if that counts for anything.

I consider PoP2008 as finished, a story that effectively must not have a sequel for the ending to still mean what it means: a single loved one saved in exchange for the doom of mankind. This, and only this, is worthy of the dark fates in the actual Arabian Nights.

Second, the graphic design of PoP2008 is bold and breathtaking. To see it reduced to some itty bitty DS pixel hunt makes me physically ill in the first place, but when those 16 prince pixels started chasing 20 pixel gold coins in that youtube video... it was just too much to take, I'm sorry. Graphics do not make a game, but the immersion PoP achieved with design four years ago... *sigh*

[Darth Marsden]

I was joking around, you know. But hey, glad you enjoyed PoP'08. I thought the gameplay was far too samey, but hey ho, to each their own.

It's prince of persia. What else is there besides fighting and jumping?

[Darth Marsden]

Ah, but the runny-jumpy-climby sections all kind of blend together until you're sort of doing it on autopilot. I never really got that with the other games, but I felt it all the time with '08. And with Forgotten Sands actually, but eh.

[Vainamoinen]

I understand the "autopilot" feeling. For me, it feels more like a certain rhythm you start adapting to, and when you get the hang of it, it's kind of self rewarding. It's my third run through this year - it's not that I see so much new stuff every time 'round.

In PoP2008, you can at least play a nice game of "I see with my little eye" with Elika...
