Video Game Buyers Guide

Sun Apr 17, 2005 1:24 pm

Need help buying video games, don't know if it is good or not? Just post here and ask!

I need help, should I buy:

Arc The Lad
Wild Arms 3
Twisted Metal:Black
Amplitude

I think all of the games are 10$ in Wal-Mart now, but I just want to know if they are good games.

It's Arc the Lad: Twilight of Souls correct? I'd buy that if it's being sold for $10. I greatly disliked Twisted Metal Black. My friend had it for a short period of time and then traded it in for another game. I don't know about the other two though, I think a friend may have rented Wild Arms 3 and it wasn't great (unless I'm thinking of another game) and I've played Amplitude, but I don't remember much about it (the objective and such).

Yep, and I've played TM:B, it's okay. So I should get Arc, okay. I just got Downhill Domination for $10.

twisted metal was ok back in the day i don't know how that version is since i never played it,if you have a gamecrazy store in your location i suggest you go there where they actually let you you try the game before you buy them usually thats where i get my games from since its close by

Ehh.... unless you get someplace on sale, the only place I can recommend is Gamespot. Normally, they're cheaper than Best Buy, plus they have a bigger selection. Other than that, wait until it goes down to Greatest Hit Price, Player's Choice, etc.

Note to all: Get games that are very long and involved. Or have good multiplayer. It really comes down to personal preference.

Amplitude: Sound based game/shooter whereas by playing, you remix songs on the game. I believe on Xbox you can insert your own tunes

Wild Arms 3 is good, but only if you like RPGs. :)

Unfourtanetly no. I just wanted people's opinions on it, if I see it. But that isn't likely. Also, what is everone's opinion on Homeworld 2? I need a ship battling RTS, an this one seems good.

I have a copy of it! That game is absolutely life-changing, after playing that for only fifteen minutes, I came out not knowing which sense was sight and which was sound.
