| Naum said: I don't get it... sometimes a reviewer just doesn't like the game as much as others or think it's better then it's predecessors, Here in Sweden our biggest newspaper scored Gears of War 3 a 2/5 beacuse for him the game was pretty much like the last one and that it had a lousy story that could have been explained in three lines. |
Since when is the main benchmark for a game its story? I can give you a number of stories of games in less than 3 lines, and I challenge you to show they stink:
* Civilization: Build an empire that stands the test of time.
* Donkey Kong: Rescue Pauline from the clutches of the evil ape.
* Tetris: Drop blocks to form lines that vanish to keep the screen clear.
* Chess: Checkmate your opponent's king.
* Pacman: Eat all the dots and eat power pellets to turn table on ghosts that chase you.
* Super Mario Bros: The princess is in another castle.
* Doom: You are a space marine who attempts to survive by fighting off the forces of evil.
* Puetro Rico: Settle the island, and run plantations to score the most amount of victory points.
* Basketball: Score more points than your opponent by putting the ball in a basket.
* Gran Turismo: Win races to be able to acquire better cars.
* LIttleBigPlanet: Platform your way through levels to find goodies to make your own levels.
* Poker: Use betting out read and bluff your opponent out of their money.
Want a good story? Google library, movie theater, or book store near you. You will find plenty. As for games, well... don't necessarily need no stinkin' story.
