Customer Review: pathetic
I bought this game as I was looking for an fps for my psp and at first It seemed quite enjoyable, this is until you get further into the game and it become extremely dull and repetitive. Overall I would say it’s not worth buying, look elsewhere for a better game, don’t waste your money!
Customer Review: I thought that it would be good……but………….
……..I was delighted when I was given my PSP, but one of the first games that I bought was Coded Arms. It was the first, and so far the best FPS game that I have seen. when I first started the game up, it reminded me of HALO for the PSP. However, when I started it up. For the first 10 minutes it was quite interesting and fascinating. However, once I got to the end of the training levels, I found out how monotonous it was. The levels are short and repetitive. Every level seems to consist of 5 things. Start, battle, walk around, battle the level guard, then step in the level teleporter to go on to the next level. The levels all seem to be in dark unatractive rooms and corridors, and there are no open spaces or large rooms. Instead of picking up weapons or getting a weapons choice at the beginning, as you progress through the game, you unlock weapons making it extremely irritating at the beginning because the only weapon you can use is the pistol, which is quite useless. It takes ages to unlock cool and powerful weapons like the rocket launcher and the energy pulse. But the controls are actually quite good. not too sensitive and not too unresponsive. It is miles better than the hyper-sensitive controls of Star wars battlefont 2, where it isd virtually imporrible to aim at an enemy and fire accurately, not to say kill an enemy. I still prefer the halo-default controls, but there isnt any way to change the controls on Coded Arms. However Coded Arms is quite fun at times, which is why I gave it 2 stars and not 1. It also has a few interesting touches, such as: when you kill a creature or bot or bug, they dissolve into pixels, which is very appropriate because this entire game happens inside a virtual training program gone haywire (i.e. invaded by viruses and attack programs). I would say that Coded Arms is an ordinary FPS game. Not the most spectacular, fun, or interesting, but at least it is playable.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)
It’s the game that never should’ve worked. Normal licensed games are usually bad enough but the game of the toy of the film? Clearly the Force was with developer Traveller’s Tales though because Lego Star Wars I and II were huge critical and commercial hits that showed that not only could licensed games be good but that titles aimed at kids and the family could be just as innovative and entertaining as any other. Clearly not wishing for any of the new consoles to miss out on the fun this is a compendium of both games with a bunch of new extras thrown in on top.
Together the two games cover both the prequel and original trilogy, with each film given six separate levels of its own, one of which is vehicle based. The rest of the levels though are deceptively simple action adventures with a built-in co-operative mode that anyone can join in and leave whenever they want. The combat is simple enough that anyone can play and you never really die, leaving the most complex part of the gameplay the always cleverly designed puzzles.
For this special version of the games extra levels have been added in (including the Zam Wessell chase from Attack of the Clones) as well as new bonus missions, ten new bounty hunter missions and the ability to play any of the characters in any of the levels. Add in a new online co-op mode for the PS3 and 360 and this really is the complete saga.

Customer Review: Simple Star Wars Fun
What can i say? Not exactly a next-gen game, but well thought out and very funny. Any Star Wars fan should reap some reward from playing out key scenes from all 6 movies. Not the most challenging game in the world and hard-core gamers will clock story mode in a day or so, but like ‘Sonic’ games from the past, it’s the re-playing levels to get each one 100% completed that’ll take time.
Simple, honest family entertainment. Would reccomend especially to anyone with kids/a fettish for Star Wars.
Now just gotta wait for ‘Haze’ to be released….!!!
Customer Review: A Good Belly Laugh
Lego Star : The Complete Saga is an excellent fun game for when the freinds are around, with many mini games to keep you happy. The game fully involves a second player, but single player is fun too with loads of unlockable content and enough challenges to keep you going for a long while. To say that this game is only for children would be premature at best, its an all round game for people who enjoy a querky game, and an obvious must for Star Wars fans. Although however it is fun and querky some parts can be quite dull, however they dont last long and the story can continue with a more pleasing appeal. Some of the unlockable content is realy amuzing, such as disguise mode where all characters wear joking glasses with joking mistache attached, or giving silly hats to different characters.
In my Opinion its worth a look if only a fun game to play with mates.
Hope my review was useful
