Rock Band (PS3)
Customer Review: Biggest Disapointment of the Year!!!
I’m writing this as a review of the US version as the UK version release date has yet to be announced (6+ Months after the US version came out!!!!).

You’ve proberbly read all the positive comments about this game but let me tell you the truth. Let me tell you why this game is not going to be worth buying.

Firstly Rockband 2 will be announced shortly. The US has had this game for over 7 months. Since the average sequel takes 1 1/2 years to come out and the average sequel is announced 6 months before it’s release date. It is fair to say that by the time Rockband 1 comes out over here Rockband 2 will be released within a few months.

Secondly, this game only has 40 tracks on it. It is designed so that you have to buy downloadable tracks at around ?1-2 a track. Guitar Hero has 70+ tracks per game. To get 70+ tracks on Rockband you will pay ?30-60 on top of the actual game (which is expected to be around the ?150 mark). You could say it is a bit of a con!

Thirdly, you could spend lots of money on content and when Rockband 2 comes out you will have to buy it again, because it may not be compatible.

The graphics are not that good. They have an enhanced PS2 look. They are nowhere near the quality of Guitar Hero 3.

You can design your own rockstar… sounds good… until you realise with all the displays on the screen you cant see hardly anything. It really defeats the point and is a total waste of a charector creator.

You can create a band… but if there is only you playing.. you will only see the charector you created. So if you wanted a punk band look - only your charector would look “punk”. The other band members would just be random.

The guitar/drum note display is not as easy to see as the Guitar Hero franchise. It can get very frustrating on the harder settings.

The quality of the instruments are very poor. There are hundreds of reports of the instruments breaking and them having to be replaced. Rumours are that the UK delay is due to EA having to make additional instruments to satisfy all the US customers with broken ones. Does’nt bode well for the UK.

Dont waste your hard earned cash on this. If you really must play it. Rent it or buy it secondhand.

Customer Review: AWSOME
I got this game from the US and it’s amazing from more realistic than Guitar Hero for loads of reasons, 1 you can make play sets 2 customize your characters and of course there’s the team/ band play for 1 goal. The Online play seems good too with a few different options that seem to work well. The Only Thing I’m not to sure on is, how well made the guitars are, there not the same build quality as the guitar hero guitars and `overdrive’ (star power) does seem to deploy when you want it to always.

All in all tho prob the best game EVER!!!

Customer Review: I’ve finished this, I’m not fibbing, I’ll lend it to you if you want.
My mates brother was on the Dragons Den and was given a million pounds because he invents consoles and games. I had this game a year ago, I’ve now got Killzone 3 Attack of the Killer Enemy on the Playstation 4 and it rocks! In killzone 2 you run around and kill the enemy in like a kind of zone. You get to fire guns and also can get shot by bad people and creatures. Killzone 3 you have a new character called Tony who is a marine and fires a gun. I am not at all a juvenile immature prat for reviewing a game that has not even been released yet and giving it top marks because I have looked at a picture, I have got this you ask my mates brother or Peter Jones or Duncan Ballatyne.
Customer Review: Not out for ages…….yet ????
Yeah it is not due out till 30th Sept according to Amazon so i was suprised to see a review already and even though there have been no playable demos yet on PSN for joe public to play hmmmm , i gave it 5 because of the footage i have seen from events like E3 and TGS but most will remember the hype around the first Killzone and how Sony tried to lable it as the Halo KILLER and so did loads of cack playstation mags at the time and yup it was nowhere near the Halo killer….will Killzone II be the Halo killer this time round ??? we shall just have to all wait and till Sept 30th . ps goto Gamestrailers.com for footage of the game in action .

Customer Review: Very, very Entertaining
I Bought this game, because I thought the movie was good and to see the result of my opinion, seeming most of the time others gave it bad reviews. But this game is very challenging, a series of great fighting stles: Heroism, Carnal Fury etc. a very gloomy but some what fun atmosphere, the graphics were, as I would of expected, very good, but it is also quite an original game, from all the games I’ve played (and that’s a lot!!!)non of them make the guy you’re playing as have to SING!!! I recommend (if you’re over 15, if not having parental approval) to go out and give this game a go!!!
Customer Review: This game is Underrated
Ok dont get me wrong im not saying this is the most amazing game ever but it is no way as bad as people put it out to be (NO WAY!).Dont expect a AAA title but do expect a very old school, fun, gory and laid back game.?24 is a decent price for this game.If your looking for Gears of war/Uncharted production value you wont find it here but if your looking for something that will pass time and satisfy you this game does that.If your into the old streets of rages games back on the sega megadrive you will understand the joy this game offers.Ive been playing video playing games for over 15 years and i like this game alot.Unless your a gaming snob this game is worth a try.BE OPEN MINDED! LOL CHEERS! I GIVE THIS GAME 7.6 OUT OF 10

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (PS3) Customer Review: truely amazing
This game is so good that you will not want to put it down.Like lara croft but a lot better.there are bits where you have to climb around like a monkey amd bits where you have to be a 5-star shooter.Round about 13 chapters so it kept me going.

10/10
Customer Review: Game of the Year
Where other games fail to deliver (ie Assasins Creed) this game comes up trumps. The graphics are fantastic, the plot keeps you gripped and the gameplay is addictive. A fantastic game that I guarantee you’ll replay on a harder level as soon as you’ve completed it. Buy it, its grrrrreat!!
