Scene it –Lights, Camera, Action

Review

If you’ve been looking for a game to enjoy with mates or family and have a great knowledge of films this game could be for you. This is another interactive game that has come out which make you feel like your in a game show. With a huge amount of questions with different types of questions for example guessing the names of the films by looking at snap shots or watching a preview and asking the questions. This game is a little like the buzz game brought out by playstation which has been released on the playstation 2 and 3. Although unlike the buzz game has many categories this game resides in movies over the past 40-50 years so all ages can enjoy this game and be in the chance to win. With this game if bought bran new you will get a receiver and 4 buzzers which are very useful and give you more of a feeling that you are a part of a game show on television. This version of scene it is the first of the series and most appreciated game as well with questions that are very unlikely repeated and on top of that it has DLC that gives you many more questions that make it even more unlikely to get the same one.

This game is something completely different which is always good to have now and again you can play people online to test your knowledge of films as well for the times when you’re on your own.

There are many different rounds that are played in this game some of these are listed below all of these questions give you a multiple choice questions some from the beginning if it isn’t a buzz in questions otherwise its gives you four answers after you buzz in. You also have ten seconds to answer the questions this is even a buzz in question or not:

Using the buzzers are a lot easier to use than the Xbox controller because the layout of the buttons are the same as the layout of the questions plus people who haven’t played the Xbox before for example a part of your family they can jump straight in to the game and wouldn’t have a problem with the controls.

Tony hawks american wasteland Xbox 360 cover

Tony Hawks american wasteland

Review

This game is one of the huge series of games brought out in the 90’s they have changed considerably since the original games changing skateboard moves art work design places story lines and more this is one of my favourite alongside tony hawks underground. This game has a really good story mode that travels all around America showing real places around the world but in virtual mode. Meaning you can skateboard around the American skating hotspots without even leaving the comfort of your own room. This game has an incredible soundtrack much like the other tony hawks games. Plus there is a new spin on the design of this game a little more animated which may make it a little less real life but doing this you can use some serious skateboard moves. This game has story line characters as well as professional skateboarders that you meet throughout the game which really brings in the skateboarding fans. Don’t worry if you’re not a skateboarding fan because with the free roaming and 2 player games including the well known graffiti game or horse which will make you want to play more and more to get better than your friends. If you’re a Xbox 360 fan who loves his or her achievements this is a game to play because you can easily get all the achievements but one which il help you out on the hint section of this review. There is also character creation mode, create a skateboard trick; create your board and tag and customize your characters look along the story mode. This game has two modes as well the story mode which is straight forward and the classic mode which was like the original game like collecting the skate letters and doing certain tricks and hitting high scores which is always fun to beat. This game also includes BMX’s which is really fun because it’s a little different and there are even goals to complete on the BMX.

Hints

This game has many ways of playing it to win points and beat your friends with cool moves and skateboard tricks but there is one thing that will rack those skills into the skies and that is manuals or grinds use these to link as many tricks together to land huge points. Another thing is if you can’t hit a certain high score a single manual with loads of manual tricks contained in it like on the Xbox 360 x,x or y,y will double your score every time you change in the same manual or grind so that’s something to think about.

The great way to earn easy achievement scores on this game is host a game on free run and pick a level as soon as that loads up even if there are no people in your game you will get an achievement for example 2 “Live in the mall” if you picked that map if you do this with all the maps you will get each one by going into the menu and changing the level.

Also the high score achievements are sooooo easy just land a decent move on one level and your done then go to the next one and on and on until you have got all the high score achievements on every level.

Guitar Hero 2 Xbox 360 case

Guitar Hero 2

The first game of this series came out on the playstation 2 in 2004 it was a huge step in game evolution it is an interactive game with a new controller shaped as a guitar with many guitar features like the whammy bar a strumming button that’s a replacement for strings. The first Xbox 360 guitar hero that came out was guitar hero 2 which has a few different features for example unlock able songs skins, guitars characters and outfits. Also the display has been developed within improved features for example the note multiplier (every ten notes you hit consecutively will times the score of each note you hit and this multiplier goes up to 4 times the notes you hit) closer configuration to the music and the timing to hit the buttons which makes this game easier closer to feel like you’re playing the song and keeps you in time. The amount of detail they’ve added for the characters in the game to be in time with the fingers hitting the guitars and the singer moving his mouth that the same time the lyrics is played. This game was supported by a huge company call Neversoft (the company that has supported all the Tony Hawks games). Later on in the series there are more controllers that have been released a drum kit a microphone like the singstar playstation 2 microphones, plus you can use a second guitar for bass and very recently a keyboard has been brought out for this line of games and rockband.

There are many games in under this name which are one to 6, four and six have different names number four is called world tour which is the first game were all the controllers from microphone to the drum kit can be played also this is the first game that is four player. From guitar hero 1-3 it was only guitar controllers but is multiplayer so you can play versus or co-op mode. Some of these achievements are very hard but to start off I would start with a very easy mode so you can work up your skill plus this way you get a lot more money playing through all the difficulty modes.

This game is a huge party game and has many well known rock songs which everybody can enjoy, even if you don’t know the songs they are very catchy and are easy to learn. If you play this game a lot please don’t think that because you can play this you can play guitar it is completely different and in my experience playing this game made playing guitar even harder.
