I was impressed with this game for a the price. It has the full game and then an expansion pack to the game. I thought it looked fairly nice and played well.

An Excellent But Imperfect Masterpiece

Make no mistake, Deadly Premonition is a flawed game. If you're unwilling to look past dated graphics, animations, and gameplay, you won't like this game. But if you can still enjoy classic games on the Dreamcast/Playstation 2/Xbox/Gamcube, then what you will find is one of the most charming, quirky, and brilliant games ever created.
So why did I give Deadly Premonition a 5 if it's imperfect? Because despite those imperfections, it's one of the most delightful games I've played. The story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, the characters that you learn to care for despite all of their flaws, and the world that feels lived in and real, as the characters within it go about their daily lives whether you're part of those events or not.
It's commendable that the developers made such a long and enjoyable adventure and initially released it for only twenty dollars. It shows that while they likely knew they had made something really cool, they also knew that it felt dated. To those who miss older games and the way they used to be, give this game a look. I'll admit, it's a bit of a slow burn, but once it hooks you and you become part of the world, you'll be addicted until the very end.

It's very annoying. Other than that, this is a really nice range. It's too bad it's so noisy. It says this is "normal" on their website, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.

You exist in a treacherous world of fantastic beasts, otherworldly creatures and lethal humans, so it's no surprise that danger waits around every corner. You know what it takes to find victory on the battlefield — skill and endurance, not to mention a fair dose of courage. But when you find yourself facing a demonic army led into the fray by the lords and generals of a maniacal fallen god, it will take everything you have and more to stay alive. You know how to handle your weapons and you have all the right moves — will that be enough bring down your unstoppable enemy?Lords of the Fallen is a heart-pounding action RPG that pits you against the demon army of a fallen god and the nefarious lords and generals in his service. Step into a medieval fantasy world populated with dangerous inhabitants, where nothing is quite what it seems and safety is only a pleasant dream. Learn about the evolving history of your world and your character — everything you know can change in the blink of an eye based on the steps you take and choices you make. Wage challenging battles and duel with opponents of varying difficulty, including deadly lords and generals, supernatural entities, tricky human beings and even massive beasts. Prove your fighting skills in combat by achieving expertise in a variety of medieval fighting techniques and weaponry, as well as developing an amazing array of supernatural abilities. Identify yourself as a warrior, rogue or cleric — or blend abilities to perfect your fighting style — and collect gear to help you on your journey. Explore secret areas to stock up on weapons, armor and upgrades. Are you willing to suffer the tyrannical rule of a fallen god? Or are you ready to break free?

Lords of the Fallen is like Demon's Souls but set in a universe more akin to Diablo. It has the challenging gameplay you expect, but it also has some of the most beautiful and detailed graphics I've seen.
I do have to dock a star since it's a little buggy, though. If they patch the issues, I can see this one being worth 5 stars.

Sunset Overdrive is an amazing game. I own all of the new consoles and this game's the best one I've played on any of them.
As for the Xbox One console, it's very quiet, seems incredibly reliable, and the white really is beautiful.
Excellent value!

The American Colonies, 1775. It's a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American assassin fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation's revolution. Experience the American Revolutionary War, from bustling city streets to the chaotic battlefields, and play a critical role in the legendary events that helped define a nation. Experience the powerful graphics, lifelike animations, immersive combat and advanced physics for gameplay like never before. Use the Wii U controller to access two new features — track your enemies with an expansive overhead map at your fingertips, and once the fighting begins, use the touch controls to change your weapons and vary your combos without stopping the action. Assassin's Creed III takes you back to the Revolutionary War, but not the one you've read about in history books.

Didn't like it. Seemed like a predictable FPS with nothing new.

There are some powers that no one was ever meant to possess — for a good reason. And when those unnatural powers fall into the wrong hands, the entire planet could pay the price. A rogue paramilitary corporation has stolen a volatile alien energy source called Fuse — one that grants the holder unlimited abilities, but could also wipe out all of civilization. Now, with this devastating force in human hands, the entire world is hurtling into a frantic arms race — and straight toward catastrophe. Humanity's last remaining hope lies with four elite agents, the team Overstrike 9.Only one team stands a chance at rescuing humanity from a downward spiral — and you're at the helm. Halt an escalating global crisis as an Overstrike 9 Agent in FUSE. Execute covert missions as stealth master Naya Deveraux, eliminate enemies as sniper Jacob Kimble, revive the wounded as healer Isabelle Sinclair and put up a fight as the unstoppable Dalton Brooks as you battle against rogue humans and mysterious powers on a daring campaign. You'll forever change the way you view team-based gameplay when you discover FUSE's revolutionary LEAP feature. Giving you the ability to seamlessly switch between characters and combine their weapons and skills in battle, LEAP offers incredible new possibilities for tactical teamwork and devastation. As each character, you'll wield fringe-tech gadgets and Fuse-powered weapons that upgrade as you kill enemies and complete tasks. Heighten the team-based action in co-op gameplay with up to three friends. Humanity's running on a short FUSE — do you have what it takes to avert disaster?

Short and sweet... Unless they completely re-did this series, do not buy this game. I bought the first one, played for 5 minutes and sold it to buy back games.... it was awful, graphics sucked, glitchy, movements sucked, no plot, just plain the worst game ever

Either play the game, or please, just don't review it. Two Worlds II is a very good game, unlike the original. You're missing out by writing it off.
