Six more PS3 games gone through in my collection this week. The end is in sight. I've already organized all my Wii games for when I switch to that system. Here's this week's plays.
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection: Vector Man 1-2 - This is a neat platformer with a lot of shooting. My trophy task in Vectorman 1 was 500 Photons which you pick up all over and when you defeat enemies. I didn't get it because that's alot of pickups and I got tired of replaying levels. There are some cool powerups you can get by destroying TVs. Vectorman 2 asks you to get to stage 11 for the trophy. Oh, heck no, since it's hard. But there is a cheat code you can use, I just found out, but I'm not going to do that.
And that finishes SUGC. I looked at all the game art for a trophy. The rest require unlocking all the interviews and arcade games. I've watched and played most of them but not all. There's always that one that requires a difficult goal in a game I can't get. But I'll try again next time I break out this excellent collection.
Heavenly Sword - I stopped only a few missions in because I don't like using the six-axis motion controls for shooting. I could perhaps get used to it if I was a little more patient the day I played it, but I wasn't. I was a little disappointed in the fighting as well. I remember it being better, more like God of War. I mean, it isn't bad. This is Ninja Theory after all, but it was different. More of a feel thing than actual controls, I think. Or maybe I dislike being surrounded all the time. It's kinda why I stopped playing GoW: Ascension recently too. I'll try again some other time.
Sonic's Sega All-Stars Racing - I played as Tails in his airplane-car the whole time. I played all the modes: Grand Prix, Single Race, Missions and Time Trials, but I didn't do everything because I want something to do next time I play it. I could easily just do everything in this again and leave nothing left. So, I did several Grand Prix, a Single Race, many Missions challenges and a few Time Trials. I noticed in going through Wii games that there's a version for Wii I don't have. I'm going to hunt it down.
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure - I finished the main campaign again trying to level up as many Skylanders I haven't maxed out already as I could. Nearly all of them got knocked out in the final battle with Kaos, so I had to dig into my group of level 10s with all specials to finish him off. That last battle is a doozy.
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus - This is a shorter R&C game but a very good one. I finished it and wanted more. You get jetpack segments in this one and I liked the story of a brother and sister turned bad but made to help you in the end against a fiercer foe. I liked the Clank platforming segments that manipulate gravity as well.
This video does not show all the weapons. There are 15 of them. I used the Omniblaster (pistol), Blizz-O-Matic (shotgun) and Plasma Striker (sniper) the most.
I can't remember if I played Quest for Booty this time around now as the last one I wanted to replay on PS3. It was digital only in the U.S.. I think maybe I haven't and will have to correct that next.
DuckTales Remastered - Wayforward remastered this and it's great. I really like the pogo stick mechanic. It makes a platformer interesting to me and less frustrating. As I knocked enemies off with the pogo stick, I kept thinking of jumping on the head of the beaver-like boss, Very Gnawty, in Donkey Kong Country. This is the way you defeat the bosses in DuckTales. I have a physical copy of this for my PS3, which I'm glad to have. I'm still playing as I've only cleared three of the six locations so far.
In looking ahead to Wii, which I will soon break out to go through my collection, I listed some games I'd like that I don't have. I was surprised to find 23 I wanted. So I'll have plenty of fun hunting down what I can during that time.
These games are all right up my alley! Why must time be limited?
I feel like I'm in semi-retirement right now and so have some time. However, I'm starting to get the workout bug and so might go back to limited time for games.
DuckTales Remastered would've won my GOTY that year if it wasn't for the fact that Animal Crossing: New Leaf was released that same year.
Well, there's certainly more to do in Animal Crossing, that's for sure.
Man, I forgot Heavenly Sword existed!
The music of that Ducktales remaster is so good. The Moon theme is excellent, of course, but I also really like the music for Scrooge's office.
