If you watch scary movies and they dont do much for you trust me and try this game. I wouldnt recommend buying it if you have less than a 2.5 with less than a gig of ram and a vid card with atleast 128 vid mem. I have a P4 with a radeon 9800 gig of ram and an audigy 2 sound card and I have to run it on meduim quality at 1024x768
WARNING Consult your doctor before playing if you have a history of high blood pressure or heart related illness! LOL

Hi. I was wondering if i should buy Doom3. I´ve read the game is a little short and very demanding concerning the computer type. But you seem to be impressed. I will wait a little longer and buy it later since i recently got Thief 3, another of my favourites.
Kisses!

It's action like Mario, but not exactly in the 3D aspect. I mean, it's 3D as in you can go almost anywhere you want, but the camera is panned a ways up, so it's got a sort of top down/side-scrolling feel to it. Hard to describe, but very unique. My original thoughts about comparing this game to the likes of Gunstar Heroes and Silhouette Mirage were more accurate than I thought. You see, Treasure did those two games, along with a slew of other hits like Dynamite Headdy, Bangai-O, Ikaruga, Alien Soldier, Radiant Silvergun, and Guardian Heroes. If you've played any of these games, you'll know that Treasure has a reputation of delivering a good and intense time. Well, what I found out is that Nintendo actually farmed out Wario World to be developed by these guys, and so Wario World is screaming quality goodness from both the Nintendo and Treasure camps! How cool is that?!

The game is easy learn, but hard to put down because of the fun factor. As with any game made by Treasure, there are plenty of cool bosses to fight, and these bosses range from weird to bad-assed to demented (wait until you see the giant clown that pops his own head off, or the giant fat dinosaur wearing a hot pink bikini). You can rush through the game levels, but then you miss out on all kinds of sub-levels and finding little goodies (thus affecting the ending), so it's easy enough for kids to play, but then deep enough for adults to appreciate. *edit: I just thought I'd mention that Wario makes Mario look like an altar boy, because you see Wario is a fighting type of character. He can punch out enemies, pile-drive them, swing them by the ankles and take out more of them, throw them into each other, run and knock them down, etc, he's got a lot of moves. Mario is a good-guy character, but since Wario is already an asshole, he's got a lot less scrupples in dealing with enemies, so they really built on this idea of him.

You can run a search on the game and see some images, but like most 3D games none of the images do the game any real justice, because you have to see it in action to believe it. If you read anybody saying this game suffers from slow-down, don't believe it for a minute. I'm about half-way into it (I'm trying to find everything in it), and I've only seen it slow-down once, and that was when there were around 25 or 30 enemies on screen at once. The game runs at 60FPS, so it stays pretty fast and intense, another trademark of Treasure's game design.

Hope this helps give you an idea about the game. I'm lovin' it myself, and can see myself going back for more once I beat it. If you buy it, I know you'll like it too.

BTW, I saw your girlfriend's pics this morning in the Contributions section. YOWZA! You are one lucky guy, but then, you knew that already.

*edit: Yeah, as far as I know, Toys R Us is still having the sale. I got the game brand new for $15, so odds are you'll luck out like that if you go check it out. I grabbed the last one of Wario World at my local store, and man am I thankful I didn't miss out!

I've seen it in action, but never got to play it. I remember it looking cool and fun.

Speaking of emulators, I've got a Bro here in town that is looking into an emulator that runs arcade games that've been dumped. I sure hope he's successful in that endeavor, I'd love to take a whirl on some of those arcade board shooters.
