It absolutely does not reward you for spending a lot of time exploring, talking to NPCs, doing side quests, etc, so try and blow through it as quickly as possible and don't let it overstay its welcome. And for the love of god, set the voice track to Japanese. | + | * alfred: There's nothing else quite like it.

| - | * nickperson: Legendary game. The level design will expand your brain (horizontally?) and the setpieces are as carefully crafted and abundant as in any classic 16-bit game. The thing that pushes it completely over the top is the jaw-droppingly hilarious, endearingly idiosyncratic physics engine. | + | * alfred: Legendary game.

| * gatotsu2501: Have you ever wondered what //[[game:gta_series|GTA]]// would be like if the car physics were actually good and [[company:rockstar|Rockstar]] wasn't so fetishistically focused on enabling the player to mass-murder pedestrians? It'd probably be something like this. Zooming around the city just for the hell of it is really a joy, and trying to wreck your car in the most spectacular way possible never gets old. I've played it for hours and hours now and barely even done any races. | * gatotsu2501: Have you ever wondered what //[[game:gta_series|GTA]]// would be like if the car physics were actually good and [[company:rockstar|Rockstar]] wasn't so fetishistically focused on enabling the player to mass-murder pedestrians?

| * Felix: Pretty bad if, like me, your favourite part of Burnout 3 was the Crash Mode. Otherwise a really swell achievement, though I think the open world tone/pacing is all wrong for Burnout. | * Felix: Pretty bad if, like me, your favourite part of Burnout 3 was the Crash Mode.

| + | * 2501: The Xbox One-patched version of this game gets it running in full HD at a silky 60fps, and the result feels almost like a new game. Nearly everything that was acclaimed in //Modern Warfare// had its roots in //CoD2//, and the savvy design of its setpieces has literally never shone through better than it does now. | ||

Consensus puts the best difficulty at Hardened; Veteran degenerates into memorization of enemy placement (no Halo style dynamic combat here; one mistake is death), and everything else is far to easy. That being said, Mile High Club (Epilogue mission) on Veteran is the providence of the Elite, and almost worth the price of admission.

There's no Havoc physics, no individual human bodies getting gored by ant mandibles, no innocent bystanders screaming actual words.

| * Rudie: A great Zelda-like from [[company:Cavia]] that killed said company when it didn't sell. It features great genre mixing with bullet-hell bosses and a visual novel dungeon as examples. The characters are wonderfully entertaining. Also: Boar Drifting. | * Rudie: A great Zelda-like from [[company:Cavia]] that killed said company when it didn't sell.

| - | * nickperson: The mechanics and design, while as great as any other Cavia game, don't add up to anything significant on their own.
