A game I've put many many hours into...It's a very casual game to play, whether it's with friends, or just by yourself to pass time. Even when you're bored! Just make sure to learn better ways to make Puyo chains than I have ^ ^;

I bought this full price thinking...."Hmm...this seems like a quite simple and entertaining game." Which...It is!

Already a week or so more into this game, it has a lot of playability, especially if you have friends to play it with. Very casual and easy to get into, I easily could let my sister have a go at this (I haven't yet tho), and be fine, it's that easy.

Pros and Cons......


-Pros:

-Simple and Easy Layout.

-Campagn Mode to keep you busy, and to help you level.

-Speaking of Level, you gain new weapons each time you do, and because the game is in Early Access still, there's more to be added on in the future!

-Colors and Graphics are very attractive to the eyes. At least that's imo.

I think that wraps up the Pros, that I can currently think of.


-Cons:

-Despite the game being in Early Access, that's a disadvantage in itself, because at times, there will be bug fixes and patches that you will come across from time-to-time. But nothing deal breaking.

-There IS some luck-bias in here. You could have the Perfect shot lined up, and it all go to waste, or spread weapons, like the Shotgun, could not end up where you may like them. It's not just the wind affecting your shots, keep that in mind.

-For a game this simple, the price is a little high, but I'd suggest to get it while it's on a sale of some sort, unless you feel like purchasing it anyway.

I might think of more Cons later, but for now, this is what I thought of.


Personal Rating: 8/10

It's a somewhat casual game that invites players of all kinds to enjoy the fun of destroying each other, blowing stuff up...And it has some Physics in there for those of you who feel a bit brainy. I would reccommend this if you are looking for some simple fun to enjoy, and by all means.....Get it on sale if you can. It's a great game!

For a person like me, who first played Gran Turismo as a kid, up to this point, I wasn't sure what to expect of this, except...The visuals looked pretty good. I would be understating this game. Oh, yes. So, here I'll give my opinion of the game, of what I've played so far, and make what you think of it, take my word or not.

-Firstly, the Graphics.
Forza 4 has some pretty solid graphics, as a comparison, and though it came out before this did, I'll say that is holds up well in that respect. But this is better. MUCH better. Even when I played this on my older laptop, on a lower setting where the shapes and oddities were of quality expected in something from the early 2000s Racing Games....it's not of that level, not even close. Believe me, the shine on the car, to the reflections of the streetlights, the crowd....It's breathtaking to the eyes.

-The Sounds.
Probably the strongest suit Grid 2 has to offer. Taking this as an example, the RX-7's rotary sound in-game...it's the closest engine note i've heard to the irl thing. And I'm not saying this out of bias, because Gran Turismo covers the sound good, too. BUT when the car is idle....It sounds realistic. Engine sounds are a plus here, and the atmosphere of the various fireworks...I literally have not had another Racing game like this where they've taken the time to get the engine note down to the wire like this.

-Price
I got Grid 2 when it was on sale, and that's what you should probably aim for, in case you want it. Not saying it's worth cheap, but it'll help, because the DLC in this game is pretty nice, considering you get to unlock all of the in-game vehicles for Online mode. Which is great with friends, btw.

-Physics
A friend of mine was pointing this out, and...despite the great sounds and graphics....the cars still tend to flop around aimlessly. Like...that's understandable in Dirt Rally, because that particular sport is crazy already. Heh. But in here, it's mostly circuit racing and various styles as such. So having a 3000+ pound vehicle toppling side-over-side off of a cliff like as if it was a Domino? Eh....No thank you.

**SUMMARY**
Should You Buy This?


Yes. Definitely.

==After beating the first scenario, and a bit of multiplayer....yeah, I think I'm overdue for a review.==

*Do I recommend this game?
-Do I? DO I? Does QP LOVE Pudding? Well, if you can't figure out the obvious answer, then it's yes.

*WHY do I recommend this game?
-Well, there's multiple reasons why, but as for the main reason, I actually was looking to get a game that would give me a break from my tf2 craze, and my god, this did MORE than that. I already love anime-related stuff, but this was just one drink that I couldn't get enough of. Having a bit of luck and unpredictability involved in this game got me running back for more, plus the cute animations and design put altogether in this is like icing on a cake: Perfection.

*Gameplay
-The closest game that plays like 100% Orange Juice is Mario Party, because of how there is a goal you are trying to achieve. In here, it gets very competitive, and can become pretty rage-inducing if you don't play your cards right (literally), plus, the game requires a bit of luck, too. Also, strategy in building your hand helps, because as you progress through the game, having good knowledge about the different characters' stats is helpful when trying to eliminate the competition.

*Other things....(Updated Slightly.)
-I would suggest reading the manual before starting campaign mode, because there is NO tutorial in this game. You actually READ the instructions before playing, because...it's a BOARD GAME. Plus, if you're unsure on whether to buy this game first, try the demo and see if you like it. A friend of mine said this was worth it, and I took his word; I haven't looked back on buying this since. As for the DLC, it's alright, adding a couple characters to the game, and a new booster pack as well, putting a bit more into the game itself, but nothing really much other than that.

-Though keep THIS in mind...there's been a LOT of character additions to this game since I last reviewed it. But...My stance on this game is not changed at all.

*Overall Review and Rating
-100% Orange Juice is one jewel of a game that is fun, button-pushing, and even better with friends.
=Rating: 9/10=

Honestly, I was a little skeptic but when I first thought, "Free to Play," it would be a little short in some areas. NO. It was NOT.

Narcissu is a beautiful work of art that just...*sniff* Oh my G...*sniff* I was left in tears of how good this was...Still am. ; ;
I Recommend this to anyone with an open mind and open heart. I dont want to spoil anything, so go ahead and get the story. Worth every ounce of my time, and hopefully soon, yours.

*Only thing so far I have a bit of bitterness towards? The achievements dont work. :( Plz fix.

This game got me back into gaming. Team Fortess 2 is a game where you'll still have fun, even when you die, because when you have 9 trash-talking mercenaries, and the game is cartoon-styled, hilarity ensues. With different modes of gameplay, you can't go wrong. For fresh players new to the game, Attack and Defense maps get your feet wet when it comes to how basic combat scenarios play out in tf2, but for pros, most will try Capture the Flag, Payload Race, and others! Just make sure to practice plenty! ;) But dont forget about the hats. Almost everyone, if not all tf2 players, love hats, and trading them can get you some other goodies, if you play your cards right. A couple extra tidbits, though; although the game is free to play, I would recommend upgrading to a premium account, because if you do, you wont regret it.
Team Fortress 2 IS Free to Play, so try it out for yourself!
