WRC 8 is a game that makes you appreciate your own limitations. Initially I felt vindicated, but patience went a long way: once I found my level, it went from frustrating to utterly delightful–and into must-buy territory. Having played WRCs 5 and 6, I’d prepared myself for a well-meaning but underwhelming WRC 8 experience. Getting that first rally victory is an unparalleled feeling. It’s those moments that WRC 8 delivers in spades, and you’ll keep coming back for more. You might hit every other ditch in Rally Sweden, only to absolutely nail a short section of two hairpin turns, or dominate a Super Special Stage. What’s so remarkable about WRC 8 is how regularly rewarding it feels. Meanwhile, the extended roster of cars, including fan-favorite classics like the glorious Renault Alpine or the brutally powerful Lancia Stratos (sadly lacking its Alitalia livery), offer fun both in and out of career mode. The firm focus on eSports, though not accessible ahead of the official release date (September 5), looks to place WRC at the center of the multiplayer map–and it has all the tools for success. It’s easy to focus on career mode as it’s the core gaming experience, but elsewhere, the game gives you plenty of options for passive enjoyment and long-term, competitive experiences alike. This might sound like nitpicking, but the UI couldn’t be further from the fast and furious racing experience if it tried it actively robs you of your time. ![]() After you’ve finished your rally, you inexplicably pay your team through the emails screen. On the mid-rally repairs screen, the “confirm repairs” button is anonymous enough to make you back out of it, even though it cancels your work. KylotonnĪs for racing, the cursor highlights “start race” but doesn’t let you select it unless you move off and back onto it. While a great inclusion, the R&D section is one of many areas that suffers from a poor UI. It feels as official as the WRC title suggests you’re part and parcel of the global rally experience. You’ll see camera drones following you around the course, while vivid sunsets often distract you from the road. ![]() The graphics aren’t world-beating, yet the attention to detail is stunning. The tarmac races are sublime, while the gravel and snow courses are challenging, drift-filled affairs. Combined with the incredible use of dynamic weather, you can’t guarantee what’s coming, but you can respond to it with intelligence. As you descend a wintry mountain, the snow gradually disappears and conditions improve. There’s nothing ugly about WRC 8, though it still isn’t quite on par with DiRT Rally’s superb graphics. Once I’d set my level, in conjunction with the custom settings, I could enjoy the game at my own pace, switching up the difficulty as and when needed to experience the game how it was meant to be played. I set up an easy, medium and hard account in each of them easy is often too easy, but the arcade-like feel of the racing is much more approachable and fun, more like DiRT 4 than DiRT Rally. WRC 8’s career mode provides you with three slots. It changed the way I played entirely, and it was all the better for it. I accepted defeat and, four hours into career, I started again on easy. On medium, WRC 8’s AI is fiercely competitive. KylotonnĮven then, I felt out of my depth. There are countless opportunities to tweak your car and controls - and you're going to need to. I adjusted steering, braking, acceleration, my co-driver’s direction timings and driving views for two hours, alongside the obligatory pre-race garage edits. I don’t think I’ve ever changed my settings on a racing game as much as I have on WRC 8. Even with re-runs, you’ll find yourself pinging off your surroundings more than you do in Yoku’s Island Express. The car can lock up way too easily the deadzone is way out the steering sensitivity feels off. Playing it on standard settings, you’ll likely find little joy in your first few races, using your allotted restarts after binning your car into a pole or bystander. If you’ve only got a controller, you’ll need to start tinkering from the ground up, across the board. Out of the box and with standard settings, WRC 8 is a twitchy, unforgiving mess reminiscent of Project Cars’ console outing: a game that’s designed for a steering wheel peripheral. It’s after the following first rally that you’ll likely realize it is. ![]() "Extreme Conditions" mode is as unforgiving as it sounds.

Not only that, but Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania comes with accessibility options to make it easier for players to enjoy the game their way. This is a wonderful upgrade, especially when playing as other classic SEGA characters like Sonic and Beat, and seeing a character like Sonic collect rings instead of bananas is a really nice touch.Ī couple major quality-of-life improvements have been implemented, like how quickly your ball resets after falling off a stage, making continuation much more fluid than ever before. ![]() In the older games, the character selection was pretty slim pickens, but this time, there are 12 characters to choose from and even more if you download any of the DLC packs. One of the areas that Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania boasted about prior to release is the roster of characters. To me, this is where Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania shines brightest! I have not had this much fun on a leaderboard since Marble Blast Ultra on the Xbox 360, because like that title, some times the luck of a perfect bounce on a corner is the difference between 10th place and 1st place on the leaderboard. It is really hard to play some of what Banana Mania has to offer because of these physics issues, but since the entire thing was made in Unity, I assume some sacrifices had to be made.īut this issue mostly affects the mini-games, because the single player feels fantastic! There are hundreds of levels from three of the best games in the series, and with the inclusion of an online leaderboard, competing with friends or randos online is a ton of fun and a huge reason to replay levels over and over to improve your times. ![]() On the other hand, the physics in play are not nearly as precise as the originals, and that really hurts the experience, especially in certain mini-games like Monkey Target, one of my all-time favorites. On the one hand, this is the greatest collection of Monkey Ball ever. Since this is kind of a remake in many ways, this is a strange game to review. On top of that, there are 12 mini-games from the series that return to entertain, but this is where things fall a bit flat. There are more than 300 stages from Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, the three best Monkey Ball games to date. ![]() Well, that’s how they are advertising it. Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is the ultimate Super Monkey Ball Experience. ![]() They are Jamie Lovemark, a USC junior Philip Francis, a sophomore at UCLA Jason Knutzen, a former Iowa State Cyclone who now plays the Asian Tour, and Brady Schnell, the former Quad Citian who made the cut in last year's event and currently is playing on the mini-tour circuit.Ī three-time PGA Tour winner, DiMarco is best known for his participation on two Presidents' Cup teams (20) and two Ryder Cup teams (20). Peterson today also announced four sponsor exemptions - two amateurs, two pros, all young. ![]() The four-day, 72-hole competition will feature 156 players, including defending champion Jonathan Byrd.Ī number of players have indicated that the tournament's decision to charter a first-class jet directly from the Quad City International Airport to Manchester, England, site of this year's British Open, helped them decide to play in the John Deere Classic. This year's John Deere Classic is set for July 7-13 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis. We anticipate being able to announce more good news as we get closer to the tournament." "We are fortunate to have some 'name' veteran players as well as a solid core of young players who are forging their identities on the PGA Tour," Peterson said. "We already have commitments from several former major champions, a group of former Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup team members, four 2008 champions, and nine players ranked among the top 40 on this year's PGA Tour money list. "We are really pleased with the way the John Deere Classic field is shaping up so far this year," Peterson said.

SILVIS, Illinois The John Deere Classic continues to attract a solid field of players for this year's tournament, recently receiving commitments from such well-known PGA Tour veterans as Chris DiMarco, Brett Wetterich, Carl Petterson, Peter Lonard, and Heath Slocum. ![]() While the story is certainly passable, it still has a lot of areas it could be improved on. It also has a couple more interesting twists and turns, that may surprise the player, something previous Fallout titles were not as prolific at. While the last 2 Fallout titles had a story that sometimes failed to keep the player engrossed, Fallout 4 does enough to make you want to know what is going to happen next. The main story of Fallout 4 is fairly decent. A unique ending for each of the factions would of added replay-ability without drastically increasing the game’s budget. The end of the game makes you choose one of these factions to complete the game with, but while there are 4 main factions in the game, only one of them offers an ending with a lot of variety from the rest. The game allows you to ally yourself to different factions, with each faction having a unique quest-line to follow. While a bit cliche, this premise gets the player more invested in the outcome, and m The main part of the story focuses on trying to find the man who murdered your spouse and reunite with your son. After being placed in stasis, the player is woken up by some unknown people and forced to watch as their spouse is murdered and their son is kidnapped before being placed back in stasis. The game allows the player quite a lot of customization options for what their character looks like, including picking male or female. The player is placed into cryostasis against their will at the start of the game, along with their spouse and son. The player character is one of those who was saved by getting into a vault in Massachusetts before the bombs fell. Before the war, a company called Vault-Tec created hundreds of underground shelters to try and save (as well as experiment as you can later learn) a portion of the country’s inhabitants. The world has been devastated by a nuclear war between the United States and China roughly 200 years ago. The author also has many hundreds of hours in the two previous titles (Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas).įallout 4 has the same background story as all previous Fallout titles. The author’s perspective is being taken from over 200 hours of time spent in the main game, as well as one of the game’s DLC (Far Harbor). This article will give some analysis of Fallout 4’s core storytelling, gameplay, exploration, and the game’s settlement mechanic. The game has a few downloadable content (DLC) packs that add additional activities, missions and stories. The biggest part being it’s massive open world and emphasis on exploration. Bethesda is well known for their Elder Scrolls series, and Fallout 4 has quite a bit in common with that franchise. ![]() Like the two games before it (Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas), Fallout 4 strays from the original game’s top down turn-based gameplay for the more popular shooter type of gameplay. While the game is technically the fourth in the series, it is only the second Fallout game by Bethesda and the fifth main RPG game in the fallout universe. Fallout 4 is a RPG (role-playing game) shooter developed by Bethesda Game Studios and released in 2015. The game that will be looked at is Fallout 4.
