you want more of it the bottom line: beats toy story and toy story 2 and a bug's life in my opinion.
from www.amazon.com
it's not mine or my 2 year old's favorite pixar movie (such as finding nemo and toy story), but it's definitely worth having in your collection.
from www.amazon.com
it just doesn't have the hilarity of toy story 2, the amazing technical ability of finding nemo or the energy of the incredibles.

pixar and disney have put out yet another film, but it doesn't match the majesty of toy story and toy story 2.

neway once again this game is cake compared to jak 2, id strongly suggest buying it especially because it has a great story and wraps up the trilogy quite well

the 'better' parts of this game outweigh this in the end though.the developers have made an already great series even more immersive, the ability to enter buildings and one coherent storyline make it.

ever since i first played metal gear i became a super fan of the series, i couldn't believe how a game could have such an adult theme in it's story and yet it could be so much fun to play.

well i played metal gear solid 4, and after i beat it i wanted to know more of the back story.

i don't think it is important to the story as i completed it, but you're going to miss out on it if you don't have the vibration.

variety of weapons and explosives with endless applications in game play.story line keeps you totally engrossed and each subsequent game developes the story arc.a must have for all serious gamers.
from www.amazon.com
knowing the story here too, i'd say the game was very wacky and seemed rushed up at the end, when everything is just purely chaotic and making very little sense.

from www.amazon.com
this game is based on famouse old chinese story "three kingdoms", and if you read that novel, it will be easier to understand storyline and whom each characters are.
from www.amazon.com
from three armys, the storys based on the book romance of the three kingdoms, it put you in the battle feild with your army, plus it has great cut scens to make the charecters and plot come to life.
from www.amazon.com
(actually kessen is also based on the same story- surprise, koei also makes the kessen game!) unfortunately whatever the story is amongst these kingdoms, it's completely incomprehnsible in the game.
from www.amazon.com
it has 30 total characters (some rock, some aren't so great), tons of levels, and different storylines for each warrior.
from www.amazon.com
the storyline is more focused this time around which also caused me to buy the novel (get the 4-volume set if you're planning to buy it since its complete and doesn't leave any plotholes.
