Goofy was less useless than Donald, I will admit that. But they still weren't too handy. Especially after I got the Ultima Weapon/Omega Weapon/whichever that thing's called.

Donald's good for, if nothing, curing you and Goofy.

Atleast in Kingdom Hearts 2 you get co-op moves with the two, really damage-dealing heavy ones.

OK, so I've played FRWL enough to give you a more in-depth review of it. I've only beaten four levels, and played five 1-on-1 deathmatches, but here you go.

With stock audio and the digital likenesses for Desmond Llewellyn (Q), Bernard Lee (M), and Sean Connery (007), this game kicks ass in the cutscene department.

And the combat? Well executed. It's like GTA's combat engine, with the stealth improved on to make it work. Typically, the usual fight will involve you hugging a wall and shooting around a corner, or pushing over a table, and crouching behind it. You can also charge your foes. When you get into melee range, you club them with your gun, and you get prompted to press a random button to finish him (for instance, throwing him over your shoulder, and then thumping his head with your elbow). Totally BOND. You can walk silently up behind a person, like in GTA. But, instead of just jamming a knife in their neck, you can use any weapon to club them. You can also target an unsuspecting enemy and go into Bond focus, allowing you to hit a specific target on the enemy (for instance, some enemies have radios, and they can call for backup if they see you. Shoot the radio before shooting them).

You get points for doing the fancy stuff. You can spend these points unlocking villains (can't play the good guys) for multiplayer. Mostly goons (Soviet and Octopus), but you can also unlock Dr. No, Goldfinger, and others.

You can change outfits if you find them (I found the "White dinner jacket" [white jacket with a flower and black pants] and the "Covert-ops" outfits [black polo shirt with black pants and a backpack]. The default is his gray suit.), and you can upgrade your weapons by finding schematics: simple ones will give you 5 research points, complex ones give you 10, and you can spend them on clip size, max ammo amounts, etc.

The camera's a little wonky (moving it manualy is slow, and can hinder you in firefights occasionally), but that's my only complaint.

Also, Bond villain deathmatches wouldn't be complete without traps, and FRWL does not disappoint. I've only found one trap in the Hedgemaze arena, but it's good stuff.

This game is easily more like James Bond than any of the FPSes (granted, I've only played Goldeneye, The World is Not Enough, and Nightfire).

Finished Shadow of the Colossus in... Eight hours play time.

Final Verdict: Excellent gameplay, stunning graphics, way to short, too easy (Mostly. Some boss fights give you a run for your money, and while most of them lean towards the Easy side, all of them are pretty damn epic and cinematic), and the ending is about 2 parts tragic and 1 part weird.

I would recommend this as a rental to pretty much anyone, but don't buy it unless you want to delve into the Hard Mode and Time Attack stuff as well (I generally don't do that stuff).

I've seen someone try hard mode. They get really aggressive at that point, and their attacks do a lot more damage on a much larger scale.

Besides, the first play through isn't meant to be difficult, its a puzzle game first, so once you know what to do its easy.

Ahh! Chaingun-toting commie bastards! Why! Won't! You! DIE!?!

I hate them so much. So. VERY. Much. Moreso than the helicopter in Station T.

Also, yay collateral damage! Especially visible in the second helo battle.

See, you're in this train station, on the second floor, which kinda wraps around this big central area. There are columns to hide behind as Bond goes to grab the bazooka.

I hide behind one as the helo shoots at it. When I hear the shooting wind down, I run down, and hide behind another pillar when it returns fire. I get to the room with the bazooka, and stock up on SMG bullets. Then I exit.

Since you can't aim at the helo with your bazooka, I decide to try my SMG first. I hide behind a pillar, target the helo, and begin firing. Bond peeks around the column and fires.

The helo stops. I hear missiles come, but I'm safe behind a pillar, right? Wrong. The missiles blow the pillar up, and I run scared to the next one. I eventually run out of SMG bullets. Then I run out of bazooka rockets.

And I finish the helo using a shotgun.

So much more fun than the Hind battle in MGS.

I know most of you plebians won't give a damn, but...

There's an Online Fire Emblem game here.

Still in it's early stages, and kinda slow-paced, but overall pretty true to the game.

I think it has reached the place where JJ's played so much WoW, it's consuming his brain...

I accept that as proof of my theory.

I may take a look at the FE thing.

Also, I rewatched the Leroy Jenkins video. You know what, that room is pretty freaking simple if you do it right, in fact the drop they talked about Leroy needing dropped for our priest when we did the run.

I'll admit I enjoyed going there, but I dont look forward to a multitude of future runs.

Good luck avoiding it, Raids and Epic Farming are the only high level content other then PvP.
