NHL 2K8 (PS3)
Customer Review: Great game
Just got this game and love it, lots of fun. Had EA’s Hockey in the past but I think NHL 2K8 is much Better.

Customer Review: Good fun at a good price
Yeah the graphics don’t utilise the power of the PS3, but ultimately you’re getting a game which is good fun, looks OK, and is a great price. Worth a punt.
Customer Review: Good game, decent port.
Lost Planet is a third-person shooter where you get to aim for the weak points. I think it’s still one of the better looking console titles out there, incorporating pretty much every “next-gen” visual effect you can think of. There’s also some great additional content exclusive to this PS3 version. Unfortunately as with a lot of multi-platform efforts, Lost Planet doesn’t look quite as nice or run quite as smoothly as it did on Xbox 360. It’s a little disappointing in that regard. If you haven’t played the game on PC or Xbox 360 already this won’t bother you too much. It’s a decent if not spectacular port, with extras.

Need for Speed Carbon (PS3) Customer Review: Not one of the best, but…
Not one of the best Need for Speed games, I’ve played.
But it dose have some nice fetures like the police hot pusute, terottory controls and team racing.

First thing you will notice is that the grapics and sound are like out of a ps2 game, and this could be improved, if the develepers taken more care.
The secound thing you will notice is the button configuration is not like other racing games or even some of the other need for speed games.
So this was quite frustrating, as I am use to hitting X rather than R2.
But this could easly be changed in config.
3rd thing I noticed was the control was a bit stiff compare to need for speed underground 2.

Part from these 3 bad points in the game.
The game as lots to offer for the need for speed fans.
I, my self have become exicted when getting chanced by the police in a hot pussuite.
The game has hot pusute in free roming and in the middle of the race when the aera your in becomes hot.
Boss race of after taking control of most of the rival gang aera.
Break cam, so you can drive in slow motion for a short time while trying to avoide sticky sitasion.

And with online play there is no need to sign in or up to play online unlike underground 2.
But I’, guessing thats because you login from the ps3‘>ps3 when you boot up your machine (Signing up to ps3‘>ps3 network)
Customer Review: No need for speed?!
I bought this as a game to play whilst waiting for GT5. I wish I hadn’t.

The graphics are straight from the PS2.

Handling is VERY unrealistic.

Almost every race feels the same.

All the cars drive roughly the same with almost no difference in handling.

All in all, I am very upset at having spent so much money. PS3 games aren’t the cheapest in the world. I think perhaps this is a game that is definately aimed at the younger (MUCH younger, and I’m only in my 20’s!!) audience.

Excuse the pun… steer clear of ths one!!

Def Jam: Icon (PS3)
Customer Review: What have they done!?
This game was a big disappointment especially after Def Jam: Fight for NY. Def Jam: Fight for NY was a amazing game but this was such a let down, don’t get me wrong the graphics are spectacular but the gameplay is AWFUL! i can’t stand with what they have done to the game. You now fight to music this invovles no tatics to what to do basically just press the same old buttons till the music K.O your opponent. The gameplay is fairly enjoyable at first but after a while it is repetitive and boring. The storyline is rubbish unlike Fight for NY and basically the whole game has been ruined!

Avoid this game!

Customer Review: Def Jam, Slightly dissapointed.
Unlike Def Jam: Fight for NY there are no weapons, also the game is trying to be too realistic were as in Fight for New York It was a very fun game which I could play on end. Overall ICON has amazing graphics and was merged Hip-Hop and fighting well. But its ‘fighting’ and not wrestling.

Customer Review: Pretty good
I downloaded the demo of this game from Playstation network and was pretty impressed. It is fun to play and is an exciting racing game. The graphics are pretty good not excellent though. Some of the effects are amazing. There is also a very fun minigame where you can practice stunts beforre the race. If a few problems are sorted then it should be a good game.
Customer Review: Where to start…
Rainbow Studio’s really gave PS3 owners a bad one with their first next generation game. I’ll be brief with this review. As there is too much to take in, if anybody owns it. First of all the bad: 1: PS3 owners wont enjoy this game online, yes the online capabilities have been improved over MX vs. ATV Unleashed. Here is the fun part, there is no way to talk to other players via text communication, or headset/microphone support. They simply did not put it in. The lead developer at Rainbow Studio’s regarding the Playstation 3 version, said publicly that he wasn’t aware of no communication support until the last minute. 2: During online play, the game will occasionally lock up your machine from time to time (totally random). Either when the MX vs ATV logo spins before game starts or just as you get off the gate into the first corner. This is probably the worst part. 3: Hay Bale derby. Good luck with Supercross races, more so online. There is hardly any reset time for the bales. There is a lot of nasty going ons if you happen to be second place. It appears on your screen like the leader is deliberately hitting the bales and causing them to fall down to the center of the turns. Usually blocking the racing line and having to play dodge em’s with them. Based on what I experienced thus far playing online when considering an SX tourney, I can’t see anyway possible that it would be any fun. Especially when you run tracks like wilford. Ran against 8 guys the other night, and it was carnage galore. I mean, you couldn’t even ride the track. The longer the tracks are it gets a little better, but when you have a track that is no longer than a 45 second track, it makes it virtually impossible to have a real race. It more like survival than it is a race. I still can’t fathom, how this passed without being fixed. Heck, I remember on the PC version, guys that made tracks, would at least put in the time to have beta testors to give the guys critical feedback. I can’t think of one track where there was a total miss like this bale thing. Amazing!!!! 4: Passing other riders. You cannot pass a rider cleanly or you will be taken off the bike. You must stay like 10 feet away from each rider to pass and remain on the bike. 5: The game was originally advertised as 12 players online, but Rainbow once again at the last minute reduced the online players to 8. While the Xbox 360 version has 12 players online. 6: Extremely poor bike sounds for the 4 strokes. Sadly if there’s any big thumper fans, you’ll be extremely disappointed with the sounds Rainbow Studio’s gave them. 7: Good luck with the rider collisions, if they hit your rear wheel hard enough they’ll send you off the track or into a 360 spin. 8: No thrill cam, it was such a nice feature from Unleashed, but they took it out. _____________________ The Good 1: Improved bike physics, you can really pull off some great whips/scrubs in this version. 2: Customized MX bikes to some degree, you can alter the plastic colours/change parts, graphic kits (limited number of kits), handlebars, hub colours, tyres, suspensions, fork colours and exhausts. 3: Bike setup, suspension tuning, low or top end tuning and brake adjustments. 4: You can buy most of the big named rider gear, helmets, boots, goggles, and chest protecters. Or you can choose not to wear the chest protector. Ride with or without a number and name. 5: Impressive life like helmet cam. It’s great seeing the tip of the visor enter the view of your screen when you hit hard jumps etc. Just like real life, so to speak. 6: The only way to communicate with riders, is once you’ve setup a track. You wait in the hangar and send invites to your buddies to whoever has the game in your friends list. You can free ride in the hanger track while you wait for other people to join your game before its time to line up at the gates. 7: The scenery on the tracks are quite spectacular, more so some of the Nationals. Despite when most of the banners, stakes, objects get pulled over and remain on the track. _____________________ I really do hope Rainbow addresses these problems with patches for the Playstation 3 owners, more so for online communication support. As it really takes the fun factor out of this game. The problem is Rainbow has never been known to patch their previous games. I just hope there is a first time. Rainbow has gave the impression to a lot of users that it was a XBOX360 exclusive and causing the Playstation 3 version to look like a quick port.
