Playing cleanup is also easier later, since you'll often have better weapons and moves to get through the level more quickly. In fact, the way this works is done extraordinarily well, giving you quite an incentive to play through again to hunt for all the items. The two tools at Daxter's disposal are his previously mentioned very fierce flyswatter, and an insecticide sprayer that gets some righteous upgrades in the later levels, to become a flamethrower and then a sonic blaster of sorts.
Daxter is also able to do some light platforming, including double-jumping and scaling climbable-looking surfaces. The dynamic that is most interesting, however, is that his sprayer also serves as a propulsion device, allowing Daxter to hover or boost up in the air, giving him more distance and height than merely jumping would allow.
Although this is mighty reminiscent of the water pump from Super Mario Sunshine, the mechanic works extremely well, if not better, in Daxter. You'll spend most of the game switching between the sprayer as a weapon and the sprayer as a platforming device, and it all works quite effortlessly. There's a lot of stuff to pick up, and incentive to do it. Most of the gameplay has you proceeding from one area to the next, fighting, and maneuvering around various enemies and obstacles, and fighting large bosses, but there are some alternate gameplay elements along the way.
One is the zoomer, which Daxter uses in a couple of different missions to chase down enemies or objectives that would be out of reach if he were simply on foot. There are a few other great mechanics, like the level that requires you to jump across the tops of moving trains, or the level that is practically taken out of Metal Gear Solid.
Though none of these mechanics are particularly original, they're varied enough to keep you on your toes for the duration of the game. Also, as you collect precursor orbs, you'll be able to unlock dream sequence minigames. Each dream sequence borrows heavily from well-known movies, a couple more than once, like The Matrix , Indiana Jones why did it have to be snakes? Though all of the game's minigames consist of virtually identical gameplay, tasking you to properly time hitting the PSP's directional pad and face buttons, they're a nice break from the run-and-gun gameplay, and they offer you the ability to unlock additional moves, like an uppercut, or to increase Daxter's health meter.
One of the immediately obvious things about Daxter is the game's stellar presentation. The graphics are simply beautiful. The animation quality both inside and outside of the cutscenes is as rich as it ever has been before. And you'll wander through several different gorgeous environments, even if most of the game's later levels are repeats of the earlier ones.
The game also manages to run pretty large environments with minimal loading times and almost no loss of frame rate whatsoever. If a game like Lumines is the equivalent of peeking through the keyhole of the PSP's graphic capabilities, Daxter kicks the door in. The sound is equally impressive, not missing a beat literally when it comes to detail. When you jump on the scooter, you'll hear the engine rev up until it reaches a nice steady gurgle. Every aspect of both the sound and music is fine-tuned, so you'll notice how effective the combination of buzzers, moving doors, and music presents something even as simple as the ambiance in an elevator.
The voice acting is also outstanding, and Daxter is once again voiced by Newsies -star Max Casella, who nails Daxter's humor and awkwardness perfectly. The game's most noticeable flaw is that it might take awhile to get used to the control and camera. Both the camera and the control scheme are implemented about as well as can be expected but not flawlessly so it might take you a little while to get accustomed to moving around. And though the game is quite linear, sending you directly from one mission to the next, some of the levels are so open that you might backtrack a little more than you'd like.
In some respects, this gives the game depth, but in others, you might find the repetition tiresome. For the most part, though, the game is both easy to follow and open-ended, making the gameplay fairly long without being tedious. Very dangerous. You go first. I have yet to see Cars because it looked boring. I rented the PSP game because there was nothing else available. It turns out that the game isn't half bad.
Not great but it works well for its target audience. The plot of the Cars game is simple. McQueen and friends are out having a friendly race when four other cars come up and say they are taking the town over. So now to see who gets to keep the town a race is happening. Not a great plot but it is a plot. It's better than I was expecting. Graphic wise I found Cars to be really nicely detailed. The cars look like they did in the movie trailers. The tracks look nicely detailed, in a cartoonish kind of way.
I think my problem with the graphics was the location for the game. It's all a really big desert so there is a lot of tan colors and dust. It does look good but it gets tiresome seeing the same color scheme over and over.
Sound wise the game is solid. Sound effects are what you'd expect from a racing game. Obviously not realistic but they are fitting. The voice work while limited does seem like it uses the actors from the movie.
I really dug the soundtrack though. Fire your weapon? Prior to a mission, you need to build a deck that you think will be effective, and this interplay between stealth and strategy makes for a surprisingly compelling mixture. See our Metal Gear Acid review.
In addition to the main campaign, Peace Walker featured multiplayer modes and short challenge missions for added variety. Though it was occasionally frustrating due to its sparse checkpoints, Peace Walker was a great Metal Gear story to have on the go. Levels are cleverly constructed but give players a simple goal: Get from the start to the finish while collecting as much gold as possible along the way.
The aesthetic presentation matches this simplicity with a gray background and plain geometric platforms. The PSP version featured various multiplayer modes, including Tag and Domination, and added the ability to share created maps with other players. Unfortunately, multiplayer servers were shut down in Like Odama on the GameCube, Patapon 3 combines military command with an unlikely genre. Each of the face buttons on the PSP correspond to one of four drums, which must be hit in certain combinations to send orders to your army.
See our Patapon 3 review. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is structured like a traditional RPG, with an overworld to traverse and lots of enemies waiting to attack.
The big difference is that, when those battles break out, gameplay swaps to a puzzle game, a la Candy Crush. It's a great genre mashup. See our Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords review. The pair set off to rescue her and, in the process, discover the existence of an ancient race called the Technomites. John ever climbed on a Harley. See our Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror review.
With a strong story and compulsively playable combat, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together manages to stand out in a crowded field. The biggest difference between races in the present and races in the future? See our Wipeout Pure review.
