Best Buy had a working X Box 360 today! I was able to play Kameo and Call of Duty 2 on it. I also watched video for NHL 2K6 and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter. Here's a back down of it.![]() You play as a young female elf by the name of Kameo. Now, I didn't get to hear much about the story since the Best Buy clerk kept talking to me, but from what I did get to hear, Kameo's sister became jealous of something and brought to life some evil goblin. Now a huge war is going on between the two races and it's up to Kameo to restore peace. Or something... (Yeah, a public place is a horrible place to try a game for a preview. <_<) Anyway...The level I played in the demo is said to be the first level of the game. You'll find yourself in a castle being over runned by goblins.The graphics are very well done even though this is the demo and does not fully show what the final version will look like. The whole art style is very mystical and fits the game's personallity well. ![]() The controls are kind of confusing since each button allows you to change form. You can be this huge ice monster, a fighting plant, some rock- rolling- monster- dinosaur- looking- thing, or your normal self. Each form as a special ability that helps you complete puzzles, over come obstacles, and fight. Overall, the game is a ton of fun and is one to get. ![]() You start off as a solider on the back of a truck driving into the battle zone. Right away you'll notice how detail and freakin' amazing the graphics are. Even objects located far off in the distance look realistic. You'll jump off the truck and have bullets flying all around you. The controls are solid. The X Box controller was designed for first person shooters and the X Box 360's controller does the same thing. ![]() The audio is just as good as the visuals. The accents are very authentic and the effects are to die for, literally. You'll find yourself running at a guy with a machine gun just to hear the sound of bullets. Yes, the audio is that good! Once agian, this is going to be a must have for any 360 owner. I know it's on my list. ![]() There wasn't a demo but I did get to watch a trailer of it on the 360. Once again it looks amazing! However, there is room for improvements on the visuals. The player's don't have much of any kind of facial expressions while you play and the ice doesn't get marks from the skates. Also the glass around the rink is way too clean. Believe me! They never sparkle like that no matter how much Windex you use. ![]() Anyway, the game looks promising and I do have hopes of X Box Live supporting it. ![]() Again, this wasn't a demo...Just a trailer and all I can say is WOW! The graphics are beyond stunning and the audio is wonderful. I have very high hopes for this game. ![]() The X Box 360 The system itself is rather large even though it is smaller than the original X Box. Plus the whole pure white thing just isn't working. The console's body looks very plain but it's not nearly as bad as the PS3. The controller is vrey comfortable to use. It's not huge like the X Box's use to be to so it fits nicely in your hands. The multiple menu screens work well. They are color cordinated so you can tell them apart. You can easily tell what deals with X Box Live, your games, your harddrive, and your parental controls. The X Box 360 is a good solid system. Many are dying to get their hands on it. So grab some coffee and a spot in line outside of EB Games at midnight and pick up your 360 now! |
