Rango: The XBOX 360 Video Game Review

Rango Video game

By Eddy Based on its namesake movie that is currently in Theaters, Rango brings the crazy and hilarious town of Dirt and its characters right to your door step.  As the chameleon Rango, sheriff of the town Dirt, players must shoot and jump their way through various ridiculous tall tales being recounted by Rango as he uncovers the mysteries and plots surrounding the town.  The great thing about the game is that it goes beyond the bounds of the movie and explores new environments and areas not seen in the movie. Mainly a platforming game, Rango must climb and fight his way out of various situations, from old style Wild West shootouts, to battles with aliens or being sucked into a video game Tron-style.  Breaking things up are various levels where Rango is either riding Roadrunners or traveling via bat to get around.  Other unique additions is the golden bullet sequences which puts you in control of one of Rango’s bullets as you guide them to their target, this may sound easy, … [Read more...]

By Eddy The great thing about video games is that you actually take part in the story and not just sit on the sidelines as a bystander.  The great potential of video games based on movies, is that you are transported to the very scenes and moments in the movie and are able to participate.  Unfortunately, due to amount of time movies are in theatres and in the public's consciousness it leaves very little time to develop a well made video game for everyone to play.  Considering the number of movie based video games there are out there, it would not be a stretch to say that there are an handful that are actually good. The thing that Toy Story 3 has going for it, was the fact that the video game was in development for 2 years before the game was released, which is practically a lifetime. As a result, we are left with a game that has some surprising depth to it and is fun for adults as well as kids.  Be forewarned, do not play the game if you haven't seen the movie, as it follows … [Read more...]
