Vanquish Review



Just finished Vanquish today and i gotta say it was great.You might say it looks a lot like Lost Planet,i think it does....a much better and cooler version of it!

Basically,it was the beginning of a war between Russia and America with the Russian blowing up San Francisco from a gigantic space station.You as a special soldier with a special armor,the ARS(Augmented Response Suit),which lets slow down time and perform wicked moves,is sent to that station with a bunch of marines to take the man responsible down.

Thing's i like:
The story is much better than i expected and things ain't what it seems to be.
Graphics isn't the best i've seen but it ain't bad for this kind of games.
NO EXTREME DIALOGUE...though there are some moves that are a little too over the top but he does have a suit that gives him superhuman strength so it gets away with that.
POWERSLIDING!!it doesn't only look good and super cool but i think it proves to be a very useful tool of the game..from going from cover to cover to avoiding hits from bosses which sometimes are one hit kills.
The battles are just fun and chalked full of action and i really like the boss battles.

Things i hate:
The AIs in this game are just dumb...they can be next to an enemy and not do anything about it.But they do serve as a good distraction for the enemies.
It's just too short for me...could have been longer.
There's no multiplayer and that's just sad...

Overall:Great game,a must buy for fans of platform games and haters,this won't change your mind.
