Since I reached the limit in my first comment, I'll continue my reviews here !
Part 1 [Game #1 to #22] :
https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,7980.msg133797.html#msg13379723. The Warriors [20/20]
- Playstation 2 - I've played this game a really long time ago with a friend when we were in pre-school and I absolutely adored it! I bought it a few months ago and playing it again was such a good feeling! I have never seen the movie, so I can't say if it's good based on that, however the whole vibe of this game is so good! I truly feels like you're in a movie from the 80's! It's definitely one of the best licensed game I ever played! The gameplay is really diverse, similar to Bully imo, which is normal since both games are made by rockstars. I also love the multiplayer mode, which I played a lot with my friend back in the days.
24. Murdered : Soul Suspect [18/20]
- Xbox One - I bought this game because I liked the concept of playing a ghost, however I never heard of it before, and it didn't get amazing reviews (not bad but not good enough imo). This game was honestly a huge surprise, I didn't expect to like it that much! The characters are really good, with great voices and while graphically it's not the best game I've played, it still has it's own style. What I liked the most tho was the story, especially the end that shocked me a lot for some reason! The only issue I really found was the lack of diversity in the enemies, there's only one type of enemy so it can get a bit repetitive.
25. Donkey Kong Country 3 [20/20]
- Super Nintendo - Donkey Kong Country 3 used to be my favorite of the trilogie, however after playing them again I now like DKC2 a bit more because of the more diverse level designs. DKC3 still remains one of my all time favorite game tho, I just love the whole "canadian/lake" vibe the game has. I also love the gimmicks each level have, it makes them more unique and memorable in my opinion. This game also has my favorite duo of the serie. Dixie is by far the best character imo, her flying ponytail trick is my favorite "special" skill of any Kong. Kiddy is basically another Donkey Kong, however I like his design way more, I think he's just more unique and funny overall. This game also has an amazing and very underrated soundtrack!
26. Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams [18/20]
- Xbox One - Another game I got for free withe the Games with Gold. I had previously seen some videos of the game and thought it looked interesting but not enough for me to buy it. It was a nice surprise tbh, I loved how you could switch between good and evil worlds and overall the levels were all really diverse and pretty to look at. The gameplay is also really varied, both characters having their own moves. The game can also get really challenging, I died quite a few times in some levels, however I never gets to the point of being annoying. I feel like it's honestly a really underrated platforming game that deserves a lot more recognition for it's uniqueness and gameplay!
27. Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit [20/20]
- Playstation 2 - Before playing Fahrenheit, I had previously played both Heavy Rain and Beyond two Souls and I adored both games. I loved the story overall, the whole game has this weird atmosphere that I liked a lot. My main issue was that I didn't really connect with any of the characters, and I also found [spoiler] the fact that Carla and Lukas got together at the end pretty stupid and it kinda came out of nowhere. However as I said the game has a really unique vibe that makes it really enjoyable. This game is definitely and experience, kinda like Shadow of the Colossus, you're either gonna love it or hate it, I personally loved it!
28. L.A Noire [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - I started playing L.A Noire in November 2016 but I stopped at around the middle of the game for some reason. I decided to finish it since I really like the first half of the game. I'm a big big fan of Rockstar, and this game didn't disappoint me. I feel like it's one of the most underrated Rockstar game, for some reason a lot of people don't talk about it. Graphically it's pretty nice, I do think that the city misses a few pedestrians here and there. The face are also extremely well animated however I thought that a lot of characters looked the same. What makes this game great tho is the whole atmosphere, it truly feels like you're in a crime tv show from the 50's! I also liked Cole a lot, especially during the second part of the game where you get to know him a bit more. I also liked that they didn't try to make him look perfect (for those who played the game y'all know what i'm talking about lol). Overall it's a really good game that would definitely deserve a sequel!
29. Shenmue [20/20]
- Dreamcast - Shenmue is a really weird game. It's definitely one of those games like Shadow of the Colossus that you're either gonna adore or hate. I honestly loved everything about the game, even tho I was a bit lost during the first hour lol. Graphically it's amazing, definitely way ahead of it's time and while the map is that big, it's incredibly detailed and alive. I also loved the bad English voice over which made the game so much better and unique imo. Gameplay wise it's also really diverse, with fighting, care driving, stealth moments... I just think that Shenmue is a classic that every gamer should at least try once in their life.
30. Grand Theft Auto V [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - So the reason why I played this on 360 is because I got it when it came out, I just never finished the story for some reason (I had a few hours left like 5-8 hours i'd say). I definitely plan on getting the PS4 version really soon because this game is just a masterpiece imo. I love absolutely everything about it. First the characters, Franklin, Trevor and Michael are the perfect trio, and I'd even say that Michael and especially Trevor are one of my all times favorite characters. The voice acting is so good and the "bond" between the 3 characters works perfectly. Secondly the map, the city is just AMAZING. Probably my favorite open world city ever, I just love the diversity, you can see the whole USA in one city. Graphically it's also amazing, but i'm definitely excited to play the next gen version tho! The story is also well written and never gets boring, plus the diversity between the missions makes the game extremely fun.
31. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD [17/20]
- Xbox 360 - I'm a HUGE Tony Hawk's pro skater fan, the whole Tony Hawk game serie is my second favorite game serie of all time. However I did hear a lot of negative things about HD before buying the game and already play Pro Skater 5 so I wasn't expecting anything that amazing. However I did go into the game with an open mind and actually enjoyed it! I love seeing the old map redesigned and while I prefer the older one it was still fun to see. My biggest problem with the game was the skater's stance, and the way he jumps. I wish they would've kept the original gameplay but as I said still fun to play.
32. Ms Sploison Man [15/20]
- Xbox 360 - I saw a video of the game a few months ago and thought it looked hilarious! I was so excited to see it listed as one of the Xbox Game pass game and it was the first title I played. So first the positive : Ms Sploison Man has to be one of the funniest video game character ever! She's just hilarious and definitely made the game for me! The music is also amazing even tho a bit repetitive (special shout out to "Donuts go nuts" lol). Now to the negative : it's incredibly repetitive! There is 3 worlds with about 15 levels each that looks really similar to each other. Also world 1 and 3 are almost the same. I really wish there was more worlds with fewer levels. Other than that it's still a fun game that can get pretty challenging!
33. Sleeping Dogs [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - So I've played this game a few years ago when I got but didn't really went far. The first thing that shocked me when I started playing it again was how beautiful it actually is! The city is so alive and it's so good to just drive around, especially during nighttime! I also didn't remember Wei being such a good character! He's just really badass in a gentleman way. The fighting in this game is also extremely well made, and definitely makes the game stand out among other GTA likes. I really liked the story aswell, and [SPOILER] Jacky's death was one of the most brutal and saddest death i've witnessed in a video game tbh. My only issue with the game were the radios in the cars lol, the music fits the game since it's based in Hong Kong however I just didn't really like the majority of the songs.
34. Soulcalibur V [20/20]
- Xbox 360 - Soulcalibur is my favorite fighting game franchise after Tekken, and when this game came out I was both excited and scared because of how different the roaster is. I bought the game when it came out but I never really had the time to fully play it and unlock all the characters. So when I started playing it this year the first thing I noticed is how beautiful the game is! By far one of the most visually appealing fighting game ever imo! I also thought the cast was pretty strong and I liked a lot of the new characters! However i'm not a big fan of Patroklos and Pyrrha, i've never liked Sophitia that much either but it was more about her fighting style then her character. Her kids are just annoying lbr. The character creation mode is also amazing and I wish other fighting games would include one too.
35. EA UFC 2 [20/20]
- Xbox one - I'm a big UFC fan and fighting games are my favorite type of games so this one was like made for me. I already owned EA UFC 1 but I didn't have that much time to play it, but from my little experience with the first game I can say that the gameplay has been improved a lot! The fighting is so realistic (except some funny rag doll knockouts which don't away from the fun) and it truly feels like you're the fighter. I played the career mode which was shit lbr, the first 15 fights are easy af and then out of nowhere the CPU starts to spam clinches and ground attacks. I also only played career mode to unlock Bad Rutten but I ended not get getting him since I didn't reach 1 million followers after retirement so I just ended up buying him. The real fun tho comes with the online playing, i've played a good 300 to 500 matches and while it makes me rage when I loose I always start a new one until I win lol. I also loved the character creation, while their aren't that many options the fact that you can import a face to the game changes everything, it's sometime not really accurate but I was able to make a really realistic George Clooney and John Stamos lol
36. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse [17/20]
- Wii U - So this was my first Wii U game I played and I was convinced I'd love it since I've previously played Kirby games and I adored them, I'd even go as far as saying that Kirby games are my second favorite platformers (as a whole serie in general) after the DKC serie. So at first I was kinda disappointed because my stupid ass didn't know that the game was only playable on the tablet lmao so I was kinda shocked for like 2 seconds and then got over it (when I say it's only playable on tablet I mean that you can't watch the tv screen and play at the same time since you have to use the tablet all the time ^^). Overall I LOVED the game, I love the whole vibes of the Kirby games and this one didn't disappoint! I do think it was kinda short (thought the same thing about Epic Yarn as well) but the levels were really diverse and so was the gameplay. The game in general was pretty easy but the final boss was for some reason way more challenging than all the game lol.
37. Virtua Fighter 5 [18/20]
- Xbox 360 - I've had this game for a really long time but i've finally decided to "beat" it meaning unlocking Dural. I have to say that this game, for an early 7th generation game, is absolutely STUNNING! The characters all look amazing and everything is just really smooth. Technically Virtua Fighter 5 is probably one of my favorite fighting game, you really have to think about each one of your hit to win a fight against the boss or even the 6/7th opponent! You can just spam the same hit, it just won't work so you really have to master each character. My main issue with the game is the lack of story and the lack of charisma in the characters. The roster is pretty diverse but only a few of the characters stood out to me as really unique (especially compared to other fighting games with a lot of unique characters with interesting back stories). However Virtua Fighter 5 is still an incredibly good and FUN fighting game that everyone should at least try once.
38. Soulcalibur III [20/20]
- Playstation 2 - While Soulcalibur is only my second favorite fighting game serie (after Tekken), Soulcalibur III is my favorite fighting game of all time! I've had this game for so long however when I was a kid I had no idea how to unlock the characters (and there are a LOT of characters) so I finally took the time and unlocked them all. The main roaster is fantastic with no filler character and the bonus fighters are just a really great addition to the game because even tho they aren't all that exciting it's still great to have so many characters to unlock. But what makes this game so great is the atmosphere, this game has my favorite stages from any fighting game. It's also imo the most stunning PS2 game ever made, everything is just so mind-blowingly beautiful! There are also a lot of different game mode AND a character creation mode! This game is really a must have to every PS2 owner!
39. Kane and Lynch 2 : Dog Days [17/20]
- Xbox 360 - So this game got really negative reviews, usually I don't really care about reviews but even my favorite youtuber Naito75 who usually likes everything didn't like it so I was kinda reluctant to buy it. And I actually didn't even buy it, I got it for free with the Game with Gold so I was lowkey happy because I always wanted to test it but didn't want to waist money on it if it's really that bad. And to my surprise, I REALLY liked the game! Is it the best game ever? Of course not, but I think that starting the game with a really negative opinion about it helped me appreciate it more. It's EXTREMELY linear and repetitive, basically there are only shooting sequences but the atmosphere of the game is really unique, it almost feels like you're watching an amateur movie from the 80's and it just works really well tbh. I also loved the two main character, I wish I could've played with Kane more but it wasn't that big of a deal. I think I liked them so much because they're really similar to Michael and Trevor from GTA V, almost like a prototype version of them! I wouldn't be shocked if rockstar got inspired by this game when they made Michael and Trevor cause the game almost feels like a GTA V prologue!
40. Space Channel 5 [16/20]
- Dreamcast - I LOVE this game, it's just so unique and weird and definitely a title you should own if you have a dreamcast. I honestly didn't know what the fuck was happening half of the time but it's what makes the game so funny! Ulala is awesome, her design and her dance move are everything XD My main problem with the game is that it's HARD AS FUCK. Your timing needs to be perfect because if not you're screwed. The game is really short but it's definitely a unique experience and I'd love if they remade it on a newer console tbh!
41. Tekken 7 [20/20]
- Xbox One - Tekken is my number 1 favorite fighting game serie of all time. I love every character and the story in general, and it's also one of the first fighting game (maybe even the first) I've ever played. However I'm not gonna lie when Tekken 7 got announced I was pretty disappointed, especially because they took out a few of my favorite characters (Miguel for example). However he and many others did end up being on the final version of the game and the only one I truly ended up missing was Christie, and the 10 new characters definitely made up for her loss! So my disappointed quickly went away and I ended up pre ordering the game (something I rarely do) and OMG I absolutely love it. First of all the game is stunning, and the arenas are amazing. The story was also very good and the ending BROKE MY FUCKIN HEART =( Overall I love this game, I can understand why some people might not like it because of the lack of some old characters tho. I might be also a bit biased because I just love this serie so much but I truly think that it's one of the greatest fighting game of the generation.
42. Dead or Alive 4 [16/20]
- Xbox 360 - This game omg. First i'm gonna talk about the positives because it does have a lot of positives. Graphically it's stunning, the arenas are big and full of life and the animations are fluid af. I also loved the roster, while it's pretty small, it doesn't have a lot of filler fighters, all of them have really unique fighting styles however some of the big guys definitely have a disadvantage because of how slow they are compared to the others. It also introduced one of my favorite character from the serie "La Mariposa", she's just a beast her moves are so fun tbh. Now the negatives. The story. There is no story. At all. Also this game made me realize how much I hate Bruce Lee inspired characters. But these things are just details, the real problem of this game is the FUCKIN AI that literally beats the shit out of yo while you're on the floor. I had to finish the arcade mode with all characters to unlock Nancy, then the time attack mode to unlock Tengu once again with the full roster and it was a nightmare. What I liked about Virtua Fighter 5 was that it was hard to beat because the AI was intelligent so you had to think about every one of your move, in DOA4 you just have to pray that you're gonna get lucky and somehow win. So yeah good game ruined by the Ai. It's still fun to play with friends but honestly one of the most cheapest AI i've ever seen in a fighting game.
43. Bloody Roar : Primal Fury [18/20]
- Gamecube - Bloody Roar is imo the most underrated fighting game franchise ever. Primal Fury is the only one I own but I definitely want to get the other ones too! Graphically it's solid, the animations are fluid and the characters look very good. Speaking of the characters, they definitely are the reason why the game is so good! Not only do they all have really unique designs, but being able to change into their animal form during the matching is just so much fun! The concept of this game (or serie in general) is just amazing and I truly dont understand why there hasn't been a new game in years! Side note but Uranus is fucking hard to unlock tho! Little tip if someone is having a hard time with unlocking her : finish the arcade mode until you unlock the no wall cheat and then when you go into survival mode push your opponent the further you can and when the round starts change into your fury mode, that will expulse your opponent out of the arena. Saved me a lot of time lol.
