Review de Shenmue2 y de Fatal Frame (IGN)

Shenmue2

Presentation
A fascinating look at Japanese and Chinese culture... and at the growth of a boy into a man. Great atmosphere and a realistic Hong Kong.
9.0

Graphics
A good attempt to make a Dreamcast game look Xbox-worthy, but this still falls short of current standards. Many unique characters, though.
6.0

Sound
That voice acting is terrible, but the score is top notch. It's the music that saves the game from bad sound infamy.
7.0

Gameplay
Solid fighting engine and the QTEs are great. Could have used more of this in the beginning and the game tends to meander at times, but overall a great RPG experience.
8.0

Lasting Appeal
Over 20 hours of gameplay plus numerous side quests and mini-games to occupy your time further. Once you beat it, though, you're done.
8.0

OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.3


Como era de esperar lo único flojo es el apartado gráfico (a parte del doblaje lamer) ya que simplemente lo han pulido respecto al de DC y eso no es digno de Xbox.
Pero poco me importa, es un MUST HAVE de tres pares de cojones (si no tienes el de DC claro)

Las novedades:

Photo shop -- You can snap pics at almost any time during the game and view them in your scrapbook
Filters -- Change the camera filter and play the game in black & white or any number of other odd color shadings
English dubbing -- No Japanese dubbing available, so you're stuck with the newly recorded English dub
Kung Fu fighting -- Updated fighting engine to include some of the Virtua Fighter 4 upgrades
Improved graphics -- Brighter colors and greatly improved lighting effects, plus much of the slow down from the Dreamcast version was minimized
Shenmue Movie -- Comes with the Shenmue Movie
New sound -- 5.1 Dolby Digital cut-scenes

Nota:Como era de esperar al empezar la partida tienes la mayoría de cosillas de la primera parte, como si fuera la partida salvada de DC.




Fatal Frame


Presentation
Some of this stuff is true urban myth and it certainly shows. This game haunts you from the moment you hit the menu screen.
8.0

Graphics
Environments and ghosts are dark and scary but still pretty by Xbox standards. Main character suffers from survival horror stiffness like most others.
8.0

Sound
The audio elements make the mansion the most compelling character in the game since it's always telling you something.
8.0

Gameplay
Interesting mix of photography and exploration game types but you get too used to it too soon.
7.0

Lasting Appeal
The extra ghosts, ending and costumes of the Xbox version will make multiple passes through the main game worth it.
8.0

OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 7.7
