Tutorial

Review:
Once you get over developer Tate Interactives sheer lack of subtlety though and judge the game on its own merit, the real surprise is that Urban Trial Freestyle is actually a decent game. Rather than a half-hearted rip-off of an already popular title, its clear that Tate Interactive has dedicated proper care and attention to this during its development, to the extent that wed happily recommend it as an adequate (if not perfect) alternative for PS3 and Vita owners who cant get the Xbox-exclusive Trials games on their own systems.


The aim, naturally, is to get through a variety of side-scrolling obstacles and ramp-filled stages while riding a motorbike. The key to success is pressing left and right to shift your weight on the bike forward and back, influencing the way you climb ramps and land from jumps. If your rider hits an obstacle - be it the ground, a ramp or a low-hanging roof or decoration - then theyll fall off their bike, ragdoll physics will kick in and youll have to restart from the last checkpoint you hit. Just like Trials, then.

Its not a complete carbon copy, however - there are some differences. For starters, there are two different types of trial. Theres your standard time trial, where you race to finish the track in the fastest time (the game automatically downloads a ghost of the best racer so you can see how its done). Then theres the stunt trials, where each track has between three and five different stunt stations scoring you on a certain ability - the most flips, the highest or longest jump, the fastest speed you can travel past a set point, the most accurate landing on a tiny target - before adding up all your scores for a track total.

The stunt trials are interesting, and not just because they tinker with the traditional Trials format. As you approach each stunt station you can see a big video screen in the background naming the player who currently holds the highest score in that particular stuny, along with a big picture of their avatar. Its a little detail but a clever one, because the knowledge that you can actually be part of the level design if youre good enough offers great encouragement to keep trying or return later with a more powerful bike. Its especially entertaining on the Vita version, as youre asked to take a (optional) photo of yourself on the main menu, which is then used in the high score walls.

The tracks themselves arent perfectly designed but the background details are at times fantastic (at least on the PS3 version - much of it is removed from the Vita version to keep things running smoothly). Youll be riding through police shootouts (with characters rolling in front of your path), dodging giant clowns eyeballs, zipping through a ghost train, hopping over a giant golf ball, jumping through the middle of a massive rotating statue - and thats all just in one level.

Elsewhere there are exploding helicopters, slow motion leaps through office buildings, speeding trains used as jumps, picnicking couples who dive out of the way as you zoom past them... hats off to the developers, who could have easily made this a bog-standard Trials clone with generic tracks but chose not to.

Review:
Fantastic 4 is a beat-em-up based on a movie of the same name, which is in turn based on a comic book series created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. The game takes some cues from X-Men Legends in that you can quickly switch between up to four different heroes and upgrade their abilities as you battle your way through Dr. Dooms legions of robots and other monstrous foes and minibosses. Unfortunately, the game suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.

In the game, youll control four different heroes (hence the name), each of whom has unique powers and abilities. Mr. Fantastic is able to stretch and deform himself, which allows him to reach far-away objects and attack enemies from a great distance. The Invisible Woman is a relatively weak hand-to-hand fighter, but she can turn invisible and perform abilities that freeze opponents in place. The Human Torch is extremely fast and can ignite enemies, while the Thing is a large brute who can dish out tons of damage, as well as take it. All four heroes wont be available to you at all times. In most of the levels youll be limited to only one or two characters, as the games storyline will often depict the foursome splitting up and taking on tasks in parallel. Switching between heroes can be done quickly by tapping on the D pad in the console versions of the game, while in the PC version, each character is mapped to a key.

Each character has three special cosmic powers that can be unleashed with double button presses, as well as combo moves that can be done by pushing the two attack buttons in different orders. Unleashing a cosmic power is quicker and easier than performing a combo, but these cost energy, which recharges slowly or can be replenished from broken items or defeated foes. If you play your cards right, you can recharge as much energy as you use, so in enemy-rich areas, its possible to unleash one cosmic power after another, making them somewhat imbalanced. There are other interesting aspects to the fighting system, such as the ability to grapple or combo-grapple with your teammates.

However, in a practical sense there really isnt as much variety as you might think in the fighting system. Just about every character has a ranged attack, an area attack, and powerful moves for single foes. In most cases, the game is designed to reward strength over other abilities, so youll usually use The Thing or Mr. Fantastic when theyre available since theyre the best melee fighters. Its also worth noting that both the cosmic powers and the combo abilities in Fantastic 4 can be upgraded using points you earn as you fight enemies and make your way through levels. Points are shared across characters.Read more

Review:
Hitman: Codename 47 is a game in which you strangle a man as he urinates in a storm grate. And thats only the beginning of the dark, adult subject matter. The game puts you in control of a trained killer who uses stealth and firepower to murder various thugs and criminals. Even if you like the basic premise and action of the game, a number of very serious flaws quickly sap its entertainment value.

The frame story, such as it is, owes a large debt to the movie La Femme Nikita, or its Americanized version, Point of No Return. Your alter ego, the bald and nameless hit man, begins the game restrained to a bed in padded room. Youre then greeted by a disembodied, Russian-sounding voice that orders you through a training course tutorial. Here, with melodramatic camp, hell instruct you on how to use a garrote to strangle a dummy, drone on about the origins and technical specs of the AK-47, and largely annoy you. Oddly, your character never once stops to ask where he is, why he has a bar code on the back of his head, or who this talkative Russian is whos ordering him about. The main hint about the hit mans origins is a vague, uninformed, and potentially insulting introduction in the manual that compares science and religion and hints at Frankenstein-like attempts to outdo nature. The predictable truth about the hit mans origins is eventually revealed as you progress through the game.

As you immediately learn in the tutorial mission, controlling the hit man can be a real chore. Your crosshair changes based on the weapon type youre holding, and it also changes when you move it over an object you can manipulate. When you right-click on the object, a pop-up menu lists your available options. So, with a dead body, for instance, you can drag it away from the scene to prevent suspicion, or you can don its clothes for a disguise. This system is clever in theory but annoying in practice, since youll often click on an object and nothing will happen. But then youll move the crosshair slightly, and then it suddenly works. Another control problem is actually in the lack of control on certain occasions. Instead of manually climbing or jumping at particular times, the hit man will automatically carry out those actions when at a junction that allows it, though you can only guess which those are. At other occasions, youll inexplicably be able to climb ladders manually. Whats even more surprising, given that the game emphasizes stealth, is that you cant go prone to hide or snipe. Youll also get frustrated at the frequency with which the hit man gets snagged on doors, chairs, and other objects.


What really impedes control is the use of a third-person view. You can switch between two external camera views, but both are jerky and awkward. In the default view, movement and exploration inside buildings can be very frustrating as ceilings and walls sometimes partially block your view. A third-person view such as this doesnt work well in a game that requires situational awareness, stealth, and accurate aiming. The only time you get a first-person view is when sniping or using binoculars.

Review:
There comes a point while playing Prototype 2 when you realize the marketing campaign was a lie. The Homecoming trailer weaves this heart wrenching story of a soldier who told his family to trust the government and how it cost them their lives. With that pain, Sgt. James Heller becomes a relatable character and we want to see him use his superpowers to exact revenge on those responsible. But that motivation is lost when the game starts and Heller begins shoehorning curse words into every other sentence. The emotional connection to our protagonist is severed. Heller becomes an angry caricature, and Prototype 2 becomes an enjoyable but predictable action title.
If you skipped the original Prototype, you wont have an issue jumping into the sequel. About 14 months after the events of the first game, New York City is once again in the grips of a viral outbreak -- supposedly at the hands of Alex Mercer, the antihero of the original title. Heller blames Mercer for the death of his family, and through a 14 or so-hour game (if you do all the side quests), its our job to rain vengeance.

The story doesnt get much deeper than that. Youll partner up with shady characters throughout the journey, and theyll feed you missions that usually end with Heller beating the hell out of a bunch of soldiers or mutants. The setup is repetitive, but the action is entertaining.

Prototype 2 gives you five weapons to morph Hellers hands into, and you assign two of them to the face buttons. See, Hellers powers -- given to him in a WTF moment by Mercer -- allow him to create these tools of destruction, leap tall buildings in a single bound, and ingest people so he can steal their memories and shapeshift into their forms. Hes also packing the ability to turn people into bio-bombs. So, know that.

Its a delicious recipe. Leaping into the air, targeting a foe and swooping in for a claw attack that beheads the bad guy is fun. Sneaking around a base disguised as a solider and absorbing unaware enemies is cool. Prototype 2 excels at making you feel like a badass. Completing tasks levels you up so you can move faster, fly farther and become invulnerable to gunfire. Absorbing specially marked characters upgrades your abilities so you can pounce on victims from farther away and increase the range of your Whipfist.

With each mission, you feel Heller getting stronger and stronger. Brutes that used to be the bane of your existence eventually become your pets and the first helicopter you KO with an uppercut will leave you feeling like the apex predator of New York City. Read more
