I mean, games used to require a serious time investment, not a rainy afternoon. The cost is far worth it, for you get WAY more gameplay with a PC game than you could ever hope to with Onimusha or Silent Hill 2. Sure, teh system may be great, but it wouldn't kill them to be more accurate.Ī lot of people stay away from PCs because of costs, and the lies of obsolesence. *shudder* If they make another 10 pound Euro sword for that game, I'm gonna hurl. The PC also always has the classics! Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem 3D, One Must Fall 2097, StarCraft, Diablo (and it's innacurate-but-great-still sequel).Īs for a new Bushido Blade. You can't do your homework on a PS2, either. If you want seriously powerful gaming, ya gotta go with a PC! Unreal Tournament (part 2 should be out soon), Quake 3, Dungeon Siege, Warcraft III (soon!), Max Payne (you MUST play this), Soul Calibur should be heading for the PC, IIRC. That game has long term playability by the bucketload. If you like driving games at all, get yourself a copy of "Grand Turismo 3: A Spec". There are others, like "Dynasty Warriors", "Devil May Cry" and a new 3D platformer called "Maximo" based on the old Gouls and Goblins games, but I haven't played them yet so I can't recommend them. Again, some very nice graphics, and swords. It's basically a graphical adventure set in Fuedal Japan (with Demons!), but it is a little easy, and so long term playability is a little lacking.
If you like fuedal Japanese swords, "Onimusha: Warlords" is worth a look. "Gauntlet" might also be worth a look, but since I only played it a few times years ago in the arcades, I don't know what the PS2 version is like.
Lots of swords to gawk at! The graphics are really nice too. It's ok in 1 player mode, but like most similar games, the 2 player (co-operative in this case) action is where the real fun is. It's a progressive, isometric view hack and slash adventure, with only very slight RPG overtones, very much in the style of Gauntlet. I really like "Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance". Still, this is all I have to recommend, swordwise, as of yet. I have my gripes with the series (especially the ridicuolous, oversized Euro swords of Zeigfried/ Nightmare) but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.īoth of the next games are progressive adventure games with swords as a central item, but they are not the "quick fix" type games such as "Soul Caliber 2" (or "Tekken Tag Tournament") that you mentioned. As for sword related games, I'm looking forward to Soul Caliber 2 too.
