You Don't Know Jack Vol. 5 - Offline Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)YDKJOL isn't a bad game. It has more questions then the previous games in the durable PC series, The best host in the game-Cookie-is again at the helm making sure that your quest for game dollars is a sarcastic and smart allecky one, and those phoney commercials at the end of the game as always are gold. So why not 5 stars? Well this game has got some flaws, but they all mostly fall in the same catagory. One is that it takes away from game 4, THE RIDE format, which in my opinion was the best. THE RIDE helped with the looping question problem as well as the possiblity that anyone can win near the end, unlike others where it is sometimes pretty obvious. But since this game supposed to be best of the netshow game, it was unavoidable. The biggest flaw is the extreme re-use fo older jokes, music and sound bites from previous games, particularly game 3. Offline was the frame to hold the new questions on, for those who do not get the netshow, but I guess the jokes and sound slipped off the side. Regardless, Offline is not a bad game, it is YDKJ, it is still a blast, and if you haven't played any of the games, it's a good place to start, and veterans will more then likely want it too. Those veterans however aren't going to find anything exciting or new, with the exception of the new Pissed About a Question feature, a slightly new question type in which angry players who vented to the company with their frustrations get well, vented back. Over all, a good game, but it could have been better.

Nascar Racing 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Incredible. Just got my copy today. I'm blown away. This is not some race-around-and-smash-other cars game like the EA Nascar games, this is pure simulation. The physics model is incredible. The graphics are top notch... includes D3D *and* OpenGL. Attention to detail in the physics department is why I liked the demo, and what prompted me to pick up the boxed retail. If you fall behind a bit, or can't figure out the optimum path through a corner, you've got a lot of catching up to do. If you don't care about tweaking tire pressure, camber, weight distribution, I really wouldn't bother. Go pick up a fun arcade game like Colin McRae 2. If you dig the *whole* experience, give Papyrus its due and pick this one up.

Police Quest Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love PQ1-Police Quest: Open Season. After Open Season it got bad. Daryl Gates's Open Season was eary and very tough, I needed the hint book. The only problem I have with this compilation is PQ1. I hated the VGA version (remake) and hoped both EGA and VGA were on the cd's. Unfortunatly EGA was left out. Similar to Leisure Suit Larry 1. I was very disapointed with both remakes of PQ1 and Leisure Suit Larry 1.
Police Quest 1 dealt with the Death Angel Jesse Baines. You are Sonny Bonds regular police officer patrolling the streets until you get promoted to detective and try to track down the death angel. The ending was great and one of a kind. The hotel was the final (would of been the final meeting with Baines) part of the game. After you play poker for alittle while, you recognize Baines across from you and when you go back up to his hotel suite LOOK OUT!. Police Quest 2 had a different take on PQ1. You are thrown once again into the Death Angels clutches when Baines escapes jail and swore his revenge on Sonny Bonds, The classic writing to issue a command was great. The ending was terrific where you had to difuse a bomb as well as meet Baines again in a different city. PQ3 was also oe of my favorites. The graphics were much improved and you again were Sonny Bonds but your true love Marie (who you met in PQ1 but Sonny knew her before that) was stabbed by a visious gang (part of an occult). From patrolling the streets to becoming detective, Sonny is once again seeking all the answers and trying to stay calm and hope Marie recoperates after getting stabbed and left in critical condition. PQ 4 Open Season takes you out of Lytton as well as Sonny Bonds's shoes and into a detective who works in Los Angeles. This one is very ear, gorry (back in those times), and took you to different places. Once the PQ series switched to SWAt it was terrible, Jim Walls, please come back! If Police Quest was resurrected now the graphics and gameplay would be amazing. Imagine sitting on the highway with a radar gun pulling over people, respondonding to a bank robbery ect...
