Easily the best Saints Row game imo

It's got a good blend of being the goofy series that it is while still being serious when it has to. I love the games wider weapon variety, the activities are definitely more fun and feel less dragged out, the characters new protagonists and villains introduced are honestly some of the best in the series, it's a helluva great time. The only things I don't like are honestly just some of the missions. I do think some of them are clearly better than others. If you have the same opinion on the first game as I do, then you'll be happy to know that 2 does improve from the first game and then some.

You know it's a shame that this is considered the black sheep game from the N64 Mario Parties, because after playing through all of them I have to be honest when I say that this is the best one. I think this is where Mario Party really found its footing for what would be implemented in future titles, being able to store 3 items in your inventory is one of the biggest ones. I also think that, even with the weakest minigames, the minigame selection in MP3 is better than some of the minigames in MP2 and especially MP1. The boards are also great, really liked the themes and designs of them. The duel boards were also a nice new addition, even if one board was particularly annoying (Mr. Mover can f off). Can it be a bit tedious to unlock the last boards for each? Maybe, but it felt very rewarding all the same. So ultimately I'd say play Mario Party 3 out of all the N64 games. MP2 is still fun, but obnoxious and MP1...is MP1. I'll also end this off by saying "The Beat Goes On" is still one of, if not THE absolute worst minigame ever made not counting luck based ones or the rotating stick minigames.

All in all, a great remake imo

I like that the new things include all your Pokémon level up depending on their participation in battle (which honestly, was a pain when you have to level grind), you're not forced to give one of your Pokémon a Hidden Move to get past certain parts of the game, I enjoyed the Grand Underground and getting the chance to capture certain Pokémon that were otherwise near impossible to find in the OG games, and I love the chibi-to-3D art styles from the character models. I'd honestly say it's worth buying.

I had lots of fun playing this game. It honestly takes me back to when I was younger and I would play Colosseum and Gale of Darkness non-stop. I'm glad we got another game where it separates itself from how Pokemon games usually play out, gym badge collecting and all. I love the Pokemon choices they picked for this game, the overworld is fun to explore, catching Pokemon themselves are honestly more fun this way and I do love the characters and their designs in this game, Arezu and Irida being some of them. The only thing that I think is missing is more Trainer battles. I just feel like there's not as many here and I think there could've been a couple of more. I do hope they make another Pokemon game like this in the future sometime. I really like the sandbox style kind of gameplay for Pokemon, it's well suited for that.

I like the approach this version of Rayman 2 took. Unlike the PS1 version, I love the way they expanded on this version of the game by giving it an open world to explore to get to the levels, the visuals look fantastic during the time, and the levels simultaneously look about the same and yet make them feel bigger and still manage to be fun. The other additions like the unlock-able minigames, the new boss battles, the attack upgrades also provide something new that didn't feel unnecessary to somewhat separate it from the other versions of the game. However, when I replay this game there are a couple of times where the game get be a little hit detection sensitive and buggy as hell. Particularly with the walking shell parts of the game. I just feel like there are times where I was hit and had to respawn at my next checkpoint even though it looked like something barely hit me or didn't hit me at all. Also if you thought the walking shell stages were janky before, man, they feel super slippery in this version of the game. I lost count of times the game would freak out on me and acted as if I was flung around like a rag doll for just barely touching anything during those parts of the game. Same goes for the ending of the game, which I won't say why because of spoilers. There are also times where the camera would not cooperate too. But overall still a great version of the game. I still prefer the N64 version personally, but if you can't go for that, this is a better alternative than the PS1 version imo.

I remembered playing Pokémon Diamond when I was younger and I had a lot of fun with it. When I was able to snag a copy of this game I wanted to relive the experience of playing the 4th gen of Pokémon again, especially since the remakes are going out this year. After finishing this, it reminded me that I really enjoyed this particular generation of Pokémon! I really love a lot of the Pokémon that were introduced in this gen, the gym leaders were fun challenges, love the characters, especially the Champion (who I won't say because of spoilers), it felt super nostalgic playing a Gen 4 Pokémon game! The only big issues I had were that when you wanna save the game, it can be long, like REALLY long. Also, not gonna lie, because of the huge difficulty spike when getting to the Elite 4 and the Champion, I spent too much time level grinding to get at a descent level to where I can finish the game. At that point, I will admit, I was a little spent. That's just about it though, otherwise I'd easily say it's one of, if not one of the overall best Pokémon games. So if you're new to Pokémon this would be a good way to get into it.

I gotta be honest, I know I went as far as 100% this, but MAN this is not a good game imo.

The good things I'll say, first and foremost, is that the character customization is still great and the start of the game is pretty descent, and there were a couple missions where I did have at least a little fun playing. Everything else is...well not good. The story and writing manages to somehow be worse than the third game. I'm sorry but I don't like that they made the Saints from a Street gang to people who run in political office and even managing to be President of the United States. I also remember one particular moment pissing me the hell right off and it was around the time that I started growing ill towards the game, but I won't mention it because of spoilers. The whole superpower things were fun at first but after a while they started to feel dull, like REALLY dull. I feel like the combat between the weapons and superpowers doesn't feel equally balanced out. Also, I'm sorry, but the villains fucking suck too. I think Zinyak is just a boring as fuck "haha I'm an almighty big-shot with a huge ego who loves to boast about how superior I am" with nothing more to add to him. I'm not a fan of the aliens being substituted for the gangs at all, it feels like a bit of a step down. I gotta be blunt when I say this was my least favorite out of all the Saints Row games. It just got to a point where I was really bored ngl. I will give credit where credit is due though, the team wanted to make a zany over-the-top game and that's what you're going to get. I just feel like it's not for me.

For the longest time I heard nothing but great things about this game, especially when at one point of time you couldn't have been able to play this game. Now that I have played it, I gotta say, I was really underwhelmed. I will say that the game has a fantastic art style and the soundtrack is great, but the rest of the game I didn't really care for. I personally found it really obnoxious for how often you had to level grind just to get some descent fighting moves and even to level up your stats. By the 2nd boss battle, I really wanted to quit, but I'm glad I didn't. I'm at least glad I made it to the end so I can form a proper opinion on it, but by the final level/boss, I seriously just wanted to be done with this game. I'm not saying it's a horrible game by any means, but it's just not for me.
