Tales Of Vesperia

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i really love the graphics on this game!!!!the story is sort of campy but you have to laugh at it a little.
from www.amazon.com
that game, heck, i still can't hardly play it without grinding my teeth in frustration at the horrible storyline, bad acting and bizzare pokemon-esque gameplay.
from www.amazon.com
it just sucks you in and adds to the story, unlike some games that you have to mute to enjoy.
from www.amazon.com
it is a good rpg for people of all ages, while an older crowd may think the story lags in some areas, i felt it was solid all around.
from www.amazon.com
tales of vesperia may not have a original storyline but it is definitely well told.

Resident Evil 5

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it was hard to make an introduction because frankly, im not really sure if there was a story to this game.
from www.amazon.com
i'm not usually a game player and when it came to resident evil games i would just watch my cousin play em so i could see the storyline.
from www.amazon.com
i wasn't expecting a jaw dropping story or plot, it's a video game and dialog gets lost in translation.
from www.amazon.com
it has everything i like in first person shooters: blood, gore, good story, cool weapons.
from www.amazon.com
secondly, re games have always had great storylines that suck you into the game, and re5 continues that legacy beautifully.

Brothers in Arms: Hell''s Highway

$25.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is a great game, it did have some flaws but the story more then made up for it.
from www.amazon.com
one of the biggest differences is it's emphasis on it's story and narrative.
from www.amazon.com
this is a good example of a solid cinematic video game, recommended for those who place more value on a compelling, well-told story than on gameplay.
from www.amazon.com
i just started playing this game last night and already have been blown away (no pun) by the graphics, story line, everything.
from www.amazon.com
i think the game has a great story line.

from www.amazon.com
3-story-i'm liking it so far
from www.amazon.com
i didn't like the story mode that much, being that i'm not a fan to the whole "halo" series (which is why me saying this is a good game, really means something) if you are a fan of the halo series,
from www.amazon.com
i thought it had sufficient length (though more would have been fine) and a good story, but i was disappointed that there is no covenant campaign.

Unreal Tournament 2007

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
first off, there is no halo-style single player campaign in this game -- just a series of bot matches intermeshed with some storyline and cinematics.
from www.amazon.com
the campaign mode is surprisingly good and its a definate plus to players who like a story to go along with their games.
from www.amazon.com
its got great graphics, a fun, albeit short on story, campaign mode.
from www.amazon.com
unclear if people really get this much into the story/culture of ut.

great step from cod4...wish they had continued that story line but the marine raiders are a nice un explored story.

from Hooskerd from CA, www.circuitcity.com
the game feels and looks like cod 2 with a new map pack (even some of the cut-scenes are similar.) maybe we were spoiled with modern warfare's present-day (although fictional) storyline but the
