Xbox 360 Impressions

[Solid Snake]

Didn't buy one but I have played on Crash's XBOX 360.

I think the system as a whole is very good, I was impressed with the detail of the textures in PDZ. The dashboard is set up nice and the wireless controllers and the controllers have a very good set up and feel. It makes a big difference to have HD, Crash has a 40" widescreen HDTV (LCD projection), it looks spectacular.

The only game I have played so far is PDZ and it was personally a let down for me so far. I haven't played a lot, but some of things I have noticed are very detailed textures, but too shiny (bricks should not reflect lights). I don't feel like AI animations are very good. The weapons are awsome, but I really hate the way you have to adjust the zoom on weapons with scopes. Other biggest complaint is the way online play is set up. They should have modedled it after Halo 2 matchmaking system. I don't like joing a game when it has already been going on for several minutes. I also don't like the fact that you can empty an entire clip into someons chest and they don't die, but two headshot will take you down.

Don't get me wrong it is still a fun game that for the most part I have enjoyed so far, but not as good as a game should be after 5 years of work.

XBOX 360 9.5/10
PDZ 8.5/10
