  • Also got, Dynasty Warriors Tactics, Sims Bustin Out, and Dark Cloud 2 (all used for under 10 bucks).

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Dark Cloud 2: In two words: 'It sucks', not worth wasting time on.

The Sims: Bustin Out: Though I am sure the Urbs is more fun, it's still in the 40's, and I want to get the DS version of it (even if it was a lowsy port). I did find this game to be mildly entertaining, and incredibly funny at parts (I like the new Sign language option). The fun I have out of it though is creating a bunch of people I know and watching how they behave in a similar to life environment.

Dynasty Warriors Tactcs: I have played a few missions of this, and after playing Ogre Battle, Civilization, and Fire Emblem it just does not hold a candle in the strategy department. It is a dumbed down version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms with heavily improved graphics and story elements (which of course is really saying nothing at all, since the graphics are worse than Ogre Battle 64.

And Good night.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'll give the game a bit more time as on paper it seems like a game I would really enjoy (like Fable), but none of the games I have bought recently, except Def Jam Vendetta, have really jumped out at me though.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I haven't played a lot of it, does the story evolve a lot over time?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Chapter 1 is iffy, but I'll admit I like Monica a lot more than Max, and you can't use her until then. If after a chapter or two you aren't enjoying building up your weapons or the Georama, there's no point in continuing.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The story isn't anything spectacular. I assume if you've played Dynasty Warriors or RotTK you pretty much know the gist of it. I enjoyed the gameplay much more.</div>
