I need to boost the poor rating, so it's gonna be 10, but i'd give it a fair 7.5 (according to release quality - completed november-december 2025). It may be stuttery, a bit ugly looking sometimes, but man, there's so much variety in first person combat and it's the only game i felt like a true, strong vampire and i loved the game for the feels and power more than anything else. Story is good enough to enjoy for what it is. I wouldn't recommend turning off lens vision in battle, unless you get sickness out of using it, because of this feature game overall feels different and it's like a "vampire mode", so you don't hide, you're out for blood! Devs didn't left the game behind, so they updated it and looks like it only gets better with FOV slider, motion blur toggle, etc. They now allow you to wield melee weapons, guard, save manually, added custom difficulty, and some quests went to side quests. I recommend the game to anyone who wants to get into vampire skin and DESTROY puny humans, enjoy traversal and the view of Seattle and it's wintery atmosphere.

There's a lot to love if you are into european AA rpgs, like Gothic, Risen other Spiders games, etc. I give it 10 because critics are too harsh on this one. It's probably one of the underappreciated games of 2026. Playing this i get Baldurs Gate 3 feel a lot when running about and in battle. I think they tried capture this vibe. Production value got much better since Greedfall with dialogue and overall presentation and the latter is consistent and while brownish, still unique. Battle system is totally different now, and for those, who wrote it's just mashing each other - try highest difficulty. I started on hardest right away, and while not the best tactical combat, i need to think about my actions and put effort to outsmart and win battles. Olivier Deriviere got his own vision of dynamic video game music here and a whole new language just for a game? I infinitely adore the idea and effort put into it. It feels fresh and cared about when being made. Give it some slack and enjoy. Games like this don't come out often.

Xbox's early game still, I suppose...? Drifty, speedy, slidy, and almost no difference between the presented cars. It's not how you make a good rally game, dear Dice. There's is some issues with it, including: crazy difficulty in "normal" mode, beginner is bearable; cars handle like Forza 1,2 which was bad and almost identical, but you can actually feel here different types of road and grip, tho you couldn't turn without drift whatsoever... so it should be named Initial D: Rallidrift Challenge, tho AI opponents can handle turns alright. I almost beat it, but I don't feel like finish it, cos I've had enough. I suffered through "normal" difficulty at first which is insane, but also tried "beginner", where you can actually beat solo, timed point to point races, but races with opponents become too easy. The game is kinda fun, but it's not very well done, it's more like a tech demo of a racing engine. There's also custom soundtracks support (super eurobeat recommended) and a killer car is a Nissan with 150hp if I recall that right. I'll give it 65. We'll see if you did it right in your second attempt, Rallisport 2.

PC optimization are horrible, the few cutscenes game have are pixelated. I only made it work at somewhat stable 30-35 fps with it's graphics and spend some time in Nvidia app to make it work a little better. I completed Yakuza Like a Dragon with stable 40 fps, and it's a 2020 game... I love GUST, but shame on you with your POOR PC ports. I hope you learned something to come up with decent performance now, due to BR 2 release soon.

I'll say it's fair 70 out of 100. What I do like about this game after 10 years I last played it: controller support (much better now compared to the way I played in the past, on keyboard. I remember how I had a hard time tryna beat it without this good precision), forgiving checkpoints (always keep me going after a loose, I used to be a rage quitter lately), good platforming, like really good - you can precisely jump almost everywhere I want after you get how the jump here works; dream levels still looks neat overall (don't look down!) and they're quite challenging; story levels are different and vibrant; variety of activities - story mini games (quick time events with fair amount of time, slalom sewer levels, handling iron can in a river, etc); couch multiplayer mini games and different modes. Tho it's story only is short (and kinda bad-empty), with all the content this adventure should take 5 to 7 hours, if you're willing to get everything done, but if not - it's just 3,5 hours to beat and this is the only downside for me (but PSP, NDS and Xbox 360/PS3 had different versions, so I'll check them out sometime too). Oh and I forgot to mention the music, it's an ear pleasure! I still remember a few themes to this day.

I'll just say it's one of the best exclusive titles on PSP, don't miss it!!

Takedowns here are so unsatisfying, and that's enough reason for me to drop the game and don't look for good speed and drift there. I was hoping for crazy butt action, send rivals to walls, beat em with all I've got, but I just can't do that. It's a serious shame.

First things first, I was forced to delete my save game to start a new game with different difficulty (yeah, devs just hadn't add the option after you start once, omg). For starters, I thought that was good on start, but the far you go... oh boy I was wrong. After first half game become so painful and broken even on easy difficulty! I was forced to use god mode trainer just to end this unfair (I was about to say crap, but I actually had some fun with it's story and parody moments) piece of work... and it's not worth any money... well, it's too harsh I guess. Okay I'd better say 5$. And so, the only review number I can give is five either xD. For the end of it I've got hilarious cutscene, where you supposed to kill final boss, I wasn't bother to kill everyone before, so when cutscene started, it was hard to listen dialogues, because enemies and buddies were still shooting each other, and Dexter (or Daxter, whatever) was walk and stand in T pose (well, I still don't know if that was a bug or feature (parody), but that was quite fun. There is not much of a story, but enough gameplay for 5-6 hours to deserve it's "shooter for an evening rank.

I don't get why the score is so high, coz performance is soooo laggy, and it's not a pleasure to see the gameplay and actually play

The port is poor and runs bad even now, there is no video options, texture quality are sore in an eye. Better play this on emulator or genuine PS2 or Xbox OG consoles.

It took me around 3 months to beat it, with pauses, omg... 90 freaking hours, 2 grindwalls (well, I probably played it the wrong way), but I totally agree with the user score - it's a hidden gem and I'm not regretting of buying a Wii for this Imageepoch's great title out here. The adventure was so good: there were good story, also characters, world building, different kinds of situations, fun skits, decent dialogues and much more. If you see this review - please try this game, you probably won't regret this either! I was playing undub version, it's something to be aware of, for starters, English VO was bad, sadly.

Barebones, unpolished full price demo of a racing game. Why there is so many good reviews? I don't get it, lol. I have only one rule for a racing game: if driving isn't satisfying - the game is bad, and I don't mean just "it ****" or else like it. The only difference between cars in FM2 is just drive wheels and I mean that's almost it. There's no feel to weight, power in a class of cars, speed, handling - nothing of it. It's just 4WD, FWD or MR. This is just pathetic.

As much as I like the series, this entry was a bit rough for me, so I won't hail or hate it's guts. I'll just leave it be like a good jrpg about Yakuzas criminal world and hell it was fun! Story goes down with time, yeah, but the whole experience worth it's end titles if you chose to play this unique experience, like RGG STUDIOS always do. Thanks!

Why are they want to feed us with this again? New graphics, ok, but again, it's remaster of remaster of a 2006-7 game with the same amount of content, characters and freacking stupud sound work (voices and sounds of kicking and this sort in particular). Totally wait for changes there, devs should add some DLC or just guest characters like from Yakuza series or else. Technically gameplay is good, but the game is barebones, like there is most simple arcade mode without story, without any cutscenes or character info + no story mode. If you're not a fan of fighters like, where you need to learn moves to master it, not just play it for fun and story, it's probably not for your eyes, but you still can play couple of decent rounds online or beat your friend.

Let me get this straight, the game wasn't aged well and if you are a seeker for different type of games like me or just would like to see what it was - leave it be. Not only because it looks boring, the one good thing about it, I guess, it's tricks, but we saw this type of stuff already in some better games like Pure, Nail'd and whatnot with better handling and more favorable than Sledstorm on PS2. I feel like even PS1 version plays better today. Fair number for this now is 55/100. I just wanted the rating to go down a lil bit, because the title is not worthy anymore. Cheers!

One of the best 2D fightings for PS3 you may get, it's charming, high quality title, with enough content for it's price, and if you think about it now - just go get it if u found the roster interesting enough. I usually hate fighting games, but you can set this one up whatever you like to play in difficulty terms. Couple of characters have really unique abilities and moves. I liked the library girl, who fight with books and bookshelves!

Well, it's not bad as most of racing games on the system, but it's hilariously unsatisfying experience.

I'd say it's one of the best offroad games i played this generation. The game should be cheap now, grab it if you're a fan of this type of games and rally discipline.

Best WRC title on the previous console generation. We have tested ever single game in the series and WRC 4, WRC 6 are still a better deal than any of these rally games like V-Rally 4, Loeb title etc. (Reviewed controller gameplay and overall handling).

Don't bother, it's still unreal crappy piece **** without any good handling.

I'd say the game is pretty average in every way possible. There's nothing really to praise and some stuff to argue with, but in the end, just move along and don't bother. Take your time with Midnight Club. Pros: big map, different regions, original cars, licensed cars, story and motivation, some music tracks, choice of genres and custom soundtrack option (doesn't help much tho). Cons: ridiculous number of car traffic (logically, could work but it's a game - more traffic equal more pain. The town isn't well designed for races, boring tuning (only once and automatically with fancy pimp my ride theme on background), you always in need with money, police is annoying, every goddamn car feels the same + frustrating crashes.

This game was a disaster for me... I gave it a shot even through bad reviews, but after 3-4 hours of play i felt bored and empty. The game seems really stupid in terms of dialogues, despite i'm not even a native speaker in English. Don't bother. I love Imageepoch, but this... Stay away.

I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone, but the fans, because, at least this port have a bunch of issues. Glitches, bugs, framerate flaws is there, but i played on Wii, so it was a lil better than playing OG GameCube game. I had some fun with that tho. It's kinda simple adventure-platformer with many problems, if you know enough about videogames. i will probably be exausted if i tried to count them all.

Unacceptable framerate issues. Poor quality port. There is no stupud glitches like in the GameCube version, but it feels so frustrating. Can't say more about it. I would recommend to try PC or Xbox version of the game.

(Old 3DS) Game could be a good one, only if it was optimized alright. But no. Framedrops in a simple RHYTHM game is not acceptable. Better try luck on DS or Wii.

Can't say a good word on this port. Maybe the 360 version was nice, but not this crap. Don't think i'm a hater, i love the series, but it's been years and i still remember that looooooow fps and it's dropped in action even more! I've tried **** version, Eng version - no difference at all. Annoyingly long loading times, poor split screen reduces the whole perfomance to the floor. DO NOT play this on PS3. PC, X360, PS4 is OK! Look forward to these versions. I'd personally recommend EDF 4.1.

What am I doing here in 2021? I'm not sure, lol. But I accidentally found this game and it's hooked me, because Koei Tecmo publishished it. It's a Japanese, fantasy kinda view of Gears of War (but I'm not here for you to say that again). You just now probably know what to expect from it, and I can't say, this game is 4-5/10 bad. It's even good in some way and I have spend here a couple of my evenings. I guess I found some fun in it. And I don't ever tried actual Gears of War or Army of Two myself. The good: Headshots are rewarding Combo throws Feeling of protagonists grief Original weapons and some type of ammo (and enough to choose from) Auto aim on easy difficulty (I highly recommend this difficulty, it's still hard, but u can actually aim here. You can rapidly press it again when it's unfocused) Combo attacks Vibration functionality (+works in cutscenes) Checkpoints are somewhat good Boss battles is not the hardest, but I was catch myself blood boiling Optimization: the game have some drops, but it's a rare thing here, most of the time The bad: Animations of combo throws are disappointing Slow motion Camera controls is not quite good (I was set it up for myself) One of a kind mechanics (poorly used or just as one time challenge, like moving covers on the start) Not enough info of the world (the whole game is a journey in the tower) Can't recommend the upper difficulties, it's just makes the game more poor Your actual melee combat, when you're alone (it's almost completely useless, better throw your opponent to do the melee) Difficulties are just makes the game badder Story is not enough and nothing really like character development is here If you're just like me, and love to seek something interesting without so much hype on it, you can try this one for yourself. It's just around 9 hours long :) I'll say 6/10.

This little project is really special! I can give this game "must play", because of lvl design, sound design, creative ideas (omg, ending is mind-blowing), visualisation and finally unique game experience. This game is hidden gem. Story, without a word.

Ridiculous, mind-blowing gamemovie with QTE and not much gameplay, but goddamn, I love this! Devs are gone mad, moving all in, and they did a great job about action, cinematics, visual and even optimization for unreal engine almost great enough. I hate to tell that it was their only one original game (the working on Naruto game series for the most part), but the game is awesome. Only couple of things here I can say.. isn't well: it's episode orientation and override with the special effects sometimes. Overall it's nothing compared to! God of War is tiny little ant battles, if you know what I mean. Just look at this on YT!

Game is nice, even it could be great, but pooooor choice of song list... Jeez man, I'll never can't handle this. I was playing almost only main theme song, and that's all. I wish they could have good choice of different genres of music and stuff instead dark electronic. Music games like that have only three IMPORTANT criteria: design, gameplay and music itself, but here we are, most of the music is trash. Just look at the MUSINX, this is almost ideal music game.

It was nice, charming adventure ️ I can't say that whole game is good, there is some issues with lvl design, music after menu theme is awful (not every track, like 50/50), levels are challenging, some interesting mechanics here... After some time I'm tired of walkthrough and kept skipping levels one after another, but in the post end I couldn't hold back tears. Story is quite original, soulful and really non-standard. If this game came under Visual Novel genre, I've been post 10/10, but we have what we have now. I really glad that add "skip level" feature, but ofc u need to wait around ten minutes everytime...

BR feels a bit empty, but like a sort of "slice of life" game - it's nice, warm and soulful experience. I'll forever remember the music from this game indeed. Much love, Gust sound team and Hayato Asano️

The game is so good for it's genre. I'd love to see if the can add some features, like add to favs; medium difficulty and some other, but the feeling when u press buttons in the right time is precious, I can tell.

Interesting presentation of gameplay, atmosphere, tension and a real stealth! It does not turn into a shooting range, this game of skill, strategy, flexibility of thinking and speed of decision-making. Very cool experience, the same "horror on the wings of night" for those who stand in the way. A lot of quality ideas and actions, and works as it should! I regret that long postponed, but could get acquainted with the version for PS3, and immediately it became clear why hitherto I have not heard about this port.. It is very bad, constant drawdown, the frame around 20, graphics close to the PS2 textures.. Probably was really difficult under the new console to create games, but how it passed quality control I will never be clear. I'll try it on PS2, but the game is really so covers that even in this capacity I stuck for a while.

Great rhythm game, best in the sires, of course, BUT noses... I hate it! :D In HMP Diva X it was nice, normal..

The best in the series for this generation, the fastest and continuous gameplay, great physics (brought to the ideal after WRC 3), hot Seat mode, career, optimization - everything is fine, except for the interface design and menu, there is not enough music in the race (well, SIM, but you can support own library to make it not so gloomy), and the soundtrack of what is left much to be desired. 4.4 of 5

Great co-op game, fresh feelings, shoulder2shoulder gameplay and many fun. Buy it quickly! (If you have a good friend)

Much worse than other games by Studio Genki, exclusive from Japan for the American console failed miserably. Bland, not comfortable. Wangan Midnight is certainly a little not the same game, but in general much better at this, especially his features with the engine overheating

Nothing, of course, is not perfect, and this game is no exception. But this game - fun, interesting and replay value because there is taken care of offline playing with 4 friends. Even now, in this time, it looks good, and seems just crushed by the critics. It is quite original and easy to use. This is a game that I will remember.
