SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom

The box art 

All the bosses

My sixth review will be on SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom which I played on the PS2 (ahh childhood memories). The game starts off with SpongeBob and Patrick playing cowboys and robots and then they wish too play with real robots, so they use the magic wishing shell and shakes and says that in the morning, there will be real robots to play with. Meanwhile Plankton, finished invention called the Duplicatotron 3000 that makes life size robots (lucky for Patrick and SpongeBob) but Plankton has the lever on Don't obey so they kick him out of his own home.You can also play as Sandy in this game. Now for what I like about the game. First off, All three characters has two abilities that are unique to them, SpongeBob can use a bubble missile attack and can use a bubble Viking bowling ball to hit something out of range of his normal spin attack which he use a bubble blowing stick (I don't know what it is called and yes all his attack's are based off bubbles). The one that first tells you your basic attacks is Bubble Buddy that comes from an episode of the same name (I think, its been along time okay don't judge me). Patrick is that he can pick up and throw watermelons and ice fruit around. He can also belly flop and create a small shock wave to make them go in a ball and throw them. Sandy can use her lasso to grab on enemies and destroy them instantly or to stay in the air for a few seconds kinda like a helicopter (helicopter sound effect include). I like all the bosses in the game. There are three robot ones and three that aren't robots. The first robot one you face is Robot Sandy which you face has SpongeBob in the first and thrid round and Patrick in the second round (yes there are in a wrestling ring). The thing that I like the most about this boss battle is that Patrick does not take it seriously. The second robot one is robot Patrick and you fight it as SpongeBob and Sandy. Like the last boss, you fight as SpongeBob in the first and third round while Sandy gets the second round. The second and third round is flooded with acid so you can't just it his weak point which is his back (and there's a stick note that says hit here). My favourite thing about this boss battle is before the second round, there is a cutscene where SpongeBob gets frozen and Sandy's reaction is the best. The final robot one is robot SpongeBob and you fight him as only SpongeBob this time. After you hit all the the green weak points with your bubble rocket you go indise of robot SpongeBob (get your mind out of the gutter) so you can destroy his brain. Now for the two not robotic bosses. The first one you will come across is King Jelllyfish which you beat him up as SpongeBob so you can give Squidward a cure for his Jellyfish stings (no not urine). The second boss is the Flying Ducthman and you fight him has Sandy so you can get out of the graveyard for ships. The third one is Prawn which he uses sound to hurt you and you need to hurt him with the bowling ball. All of the enemies  are fun too fight. My favourite enemy is the one that use a ham on a stick and whacks you with it like a hammer (think it though). There are some slides in the game where you slide down (obviously) but how Spongebob does it is funny, he uses his tongue. The game makes lots of references too the show like, you can teleport from point A to point B by using a box which is from the episode Idiot Box where SpongBob and Patrick imagine cool things inside a box. Another one is some of the locations like the Kelp forest and Rock Bottom which appeared in the show only once (if I remember correctly). The location that I like the most in this game is the Mermalair which belongs too Mermaid Man and Barncle Boy which is a reference too the 1960s Batman television series. Around the world you can fight robots that come from little version of the Duplicatotron 3000 and the music is awesome. The game is just like other 3D platforms like those that can be found on the N64 like two of the Banjo-Kazooie games and Mario 64. Which means that you need to collect stuff like in this game you collect golden spatulas which is a reference to the episode where Plankton wants the Krabby Patty secret formula and bribes SpongeBob with a golden spatula. To upgrade your health which are underpants, you need to find some golden underpants. The best things that are funny for me are the lost socks for Patrick and the shiny things (yes that's waht they are called) to get to certain areas. Now for what I hate about this game. First of all, since I was younger when I played the game not as intelligent in games I will say what I'm suppose to do here and die trying to figure it out. Secondly just like the last point, when I got to the second robotic boss, the third round is difficult because you have to hit robot Patrick by using your bowling ball to hit his back but almost every time his back is facing the moving platforms that move you into the acid. Sometime he is out of reach and you miss your chance to hit him. If I would to rate this game on scale one to ten it would be a 8. The tralier is up top and just like some games some trailers look different  then the full game.

Tripod Attack (Flash game)

You thought you wouldn't be seeing this again (the first review about chicken little)

My fifth review will be on an adobe Flash game called Tripod Attack. The objective is very simple, destroy everything military related trying to take down your Tripod from the movie War of the Worlds (my favourite movie if you didn't know). You have three bar too indicate different things which are your shield capacity, your health/armor bar for your basic health and if that deplete's your dead unlike your shield bar and the last one is for your lasers and how long you can fire it. You can upgrade those and the radius and the damage of the lasers, the shield and armor integrity. Now for what I like about this flash game. One like I mentioned before it is based of my favourite movie. Second there is about 15 levels and at the tenth  level  and fifteenth  there's a boss (I might have forgotten about one but no big deal). The first one is an attack helicopter which fires missiles that you can shoot down (or you can take them like a man and make your sheild bar to go down). The final boss is a tank that fires lasers at you and you can do a beam struggle. I like the fighting them because they are cool looking. Thridly, you can vaporize the bullets, rockets and tank shells that are being fired at you (at first I didn't know that you can do that so I died alot). Fourth off, you can hear the Tripod horn every minute thirty or so and here's a clip of it (don't have the volume high with head phones unless you want to become deaf or crazy) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzY099ihULs. Sometimes when you kill a marine there body is kinda of in your way so it looks like you killed them by stepping on. Another thing that I like about this flash game is that you can make the Tripod nod its head and I find it funny because its a 35 stroy high death machine nodding its head. Now for what I hate about this game. First off, the rocket marines come in a squadron so if you don't vaporize the rockets you will be bombarded by rockets. Second off, the EMP (Electromagnetic pulse) vehicles are annoying because you have marines, hummers, tanks, helicopters and jets are attacking you while the EMP is already taking down your shield, within seconds your shield is down and your health bar is almost depleted because your shield is gone and the military is trying to destroy you. There is an upside to the EMP vehicle is when you destroy it, its so satisfying that its gone. If I would rate this game on a scale from one to ten it would be a 7.8. Since its a Flash game there is no trailer but you can type in Tripod Attack on google and play it yourself (if you want).

Saints Row 4/re-elected edition

Murica gun

Cover art of the re-elected edition with Gat out of Hell

Dubstep gun

Armchair-a-geddon

The fourth game I will be reviewing is Saints Row 4/re-elected (which is the rerelease on the Xbox one and PS4) and it's expansion packs (I did this game for the fourth review on purpose).














This is my second favourite Saints Row game series in the series while the second game is number one. The game is a parody of the GTA series because it's alot more goofy than GTA. The game takes place five years after Saints Row the third which you play as mob boss turn into the president of the United States of America and you get abducted by aliens (not the Xenomorphs) and put into a simulation of the last games city which is Steelport. The game is rated M by the ESRP because there are weapons (some of them are very inappropriate), swearing and lot more mature rating stuff. During the alien invasion your none important body guards try to kill the aliens and sometime when they die, one will say <<Tell my wife, I had another wife>> which I facepalmed and in the same level you have too shoot down some alien ships and at the very end they go and do a Space Invader reference by go in a formation and coming closer.  There are lots of reasons why I like this game like you can customize your weapons to look different which some of them reference other games, tv or movies like a skin for the sinper looks like it was made in MineCraft, another one is the phasers in its different color variations. One more thing about the weapons is one in particular is the Dubstep Gun which is beautiful because you can kill people using the power of music and while your firing the Dubstep Gun people and cars are dancing to the beat. Some of the activities in the game are fun like the ones where you have to cause mayhem with some weapons or vheicles like a army or alien tank or a UFO and the insurance fraud activity where you have to get hit by cars and get points. Not only do the weapons reference other things but the game does too like it's basically a huge Matrix reference. When you first try too escape Zinyak (the leader of the aliens which are called Zin) you're in a spacship and your character wich his name is The Boss (his named is not confirmed yet) says <<why don't we put on some music>> then Kinzie says <<we are in space, there are no radio waves this far out>>, she gets cut off by the song What is Love coming on. You have alot of powers at your disposal like freezing people, stomping them and creating a shockwave, super speed, gliding (not flying) and many more. One of the enemies is called exterminators which are a reference to the Terminator. During the game you have too save your friends from there own worst fear, my favourite is the a tie between Johnny Gat and Price. Johnny Gat's is a old school beat im up and Johnny goes through his lover getting killed (from the second game, long story) over and over again. Price's worse fear is his merchandise turning against him in the form of a giant Saints Flow can named Paul. Before the final level you have to take down the simulation, one the things you bring back is Paul and he gives you a thumbs up. At the end of the game where you are about to face the final boss, the song You got the touch by Stan Bush is playing and Zinyak is saying you won't beat him and your character reply is <<One shall stand and one shall fall>> which is a quote from Optimus Prime from Transformers (If you didn't know).  Now what I hate about the main game. First off, there are alot of boring side missions like hacking stores which by the way they get harder everytime and I needed to find how to do it on Youtube. Second off, the vheicles mostly the cars feel useless because you have super speed and can glide across the city. Thirdly the Data clusters which there is about 1255 of them around Steelport and when there's just 100 of them without the collectible finder is quite difficult and annoying. Final reason is that your health recovers slower than the other games in the series. Now for the first expansion pack which is the Christmas theme where you save Santa from Claws (get it) which is his evil counterpart who wants Christmas to be forgotten. What I like about the first expansion pack is that they added in new weapons, vheicles and skins for both like the BB gun which I like so much, a robotic sleigh and reindeer. The new skins are for the Dubstep with Christmas themed Dubstep and a North Pole pole for the Baseball bat. The Final reason is that near the end of the expansion, you have too get in too Santa's workshop and there's a barrier made of a candy cane and you can lick it. While licking the barrier, there is some text that at first is encouraging you to finish it then it starts to say to give up and the final things are you like the sound don't you. When you finish it off you find out the door is locked that took you 15 minutes (30 if you did it on next gen) but you get an achievement which is why I did it. Now why I hate this expansion pack is that it's an hour long and I like if it were two hours not one. The final reason is that its kinda hard. The second expansion is called enter the something inappropriate-matrix (you can look up the real name yourself and don't put in the comments). What I liked about the second expansion is that it was fun too play though it like the last expansion. My  friend Paul the huge Saints Flow can returns and you have too destroy him from the inside. The level when you go through Paul is like the one where you escape Zinyak's huge ship for the first time. Now what I hate about the second expansion pack is when you're flying through Paul like what I said about two lines ago but without the song What is Love playing and you have to kill Paul. Now for a piece of DLC (downloadable content) that has no story just a new costume, a gun and a jet that I like which the theme of the pack is America. I like both the gun which is called Murica (that's how it is really called) and the jet called the Screaming Eagle which is the shape of an eagle that when hovering it flaps its wings. Now for the final expansion pack is called Gat out of Hell where Johnny Gat and Kenzie help The Boss to not get married by the daughter of the devil called Jezebel. What I like about the final expansion is that you have basically the same kinda powers except a bit different like its not ice, it is turn people to stone. You see Dane Vogel the main antagonist (kinda) from the second Saints Row which I like I said (or written) at the beginning is my favourite in the series. There is a weapon for each Deadly Sin, Uriels Edge which is a sword to represent envy, Gallows Dodger which is a pistol that represents pride (it also talks which I like when my weapon talks) Last Supper which is represents gluttony, Diamond Sting is the weapon that represents greed and when you kill someone with it makes alot more money than any other weapon, Boom Chicka which is a shotgun which represents lust, the Ark of the Covenant which is the weapon that represents wrath and my favourite one is the weapon that represents sloth which is the Armchair-a-geddon which is just a recliner chair with dual machine guns and can fire rockets (this, Murica and the Dubstep gun are all tied for my favourite weapon in the entire game and series). The last reason why I like this expansion is the musical number because your in Hell and even the devil sings along which I find funny and ridiculous. This expansion was easier to complete than the main game. Now for the two reasons for what made the expansion not perfect. First off, you can't put the sin weapons over to the main game and the insurance fraud side missions suck compared  to the ones in the main game because you can't go flying half way across the map. If I would rate everything, I would give it an 8.1. The trailer is too inappropriate so you guys and girls (or other) can look it up yourselves.

Alien:Isotlation

The third game I will be reviewing is gonna be Alien: Isolation based off the Alien movie franchise. This game takes place 15 years after the first alien movie and you play as Amanda Ripley, Ellen Ripley's daughter through the Sevastopol space station to retrieve the Nostromo flight recorded which is from her mother's ship. The game is a first person horror game which means you aren't in a bird eye view so you can't see what's behind you unless you turn your head around. There are enemies like some humans, the androids (which are very creepy by the way) and the main thing too watch out for is the Xenomorph (the alien if you didn't know the name). You can use weapons like the maintenance jack or guns to kill the hostile humans or the androids but it can't kill the Xenomorph. The shotgun, bolt and anything to do with fire will make it stop or make it flee. The game is dark so you can't see in some areas but you can use the motion tracker or the flashlight but the flashlight can run out of power. In harder difficulties the motion tracker glitches so it is not as precise as in easy or medium mode. One way to avoid hostile humans or all the androids is to hide in the vents or hide under a table because they are pretty dumb and don't check the vents or under an obvious table but that doesn't work with the alien that can go into the vents (it's pretty terrifying when you encounter it in the vents). In the first two missions of the game you don't see a trace of the Xenomorph except at the end of mission two. Mission three you see it after you disengage the lock down and it comes down really slow so you can a long look at this terrifying alien standing in front of you. After it first appears you will have to go to the elevator while trying too not get caught. The game is about 20 hours long. The edition I got had the Nostromo edition which came with a 30 minute expansion which you can play as the original crew of the Nostromo. In the expansion you have too block most of the exits so the Xenomorph has to go where you are plan to kill it. What I like about this game and it's expansion is that it's a long game so more fun for me. This game made want a pet Xenomorph because it is such a cool alien with its design. I like the time when I was trying to get an achievement which not to die by the alien in the 4th mission, I was confident that he wasn't in the vent but I was wrong and he killed me while I jumped out of my chair. In of the many cutscences of the game your are just walking in a room and the Xenomorph drops out of nowhere. It is so satisfying when you use the flamethower or throw  molotov at the Xenomorph and scare it away because its an animal and most animals are afraid of fire (I said how does it feel to be afraid of me). Reasons why I don't like this game is that its stressful because you can't see behind or a cross the hall so you have to stick your meaty head out and if it sees you dead because you can't outrun it. That the motion tracker is garbage on hard difficulties when I tried the hardest difficulty (I stopped because I went to another level to show something to my brother so I had to start the game again after). The three  things that I hate the most about  the facehuggers is that they hide under  stacked boxes because the facehuggers are terrifying, annoying and they jumpscare you(its scary when you play the game for the first time and the jumpscare happens). If I would rate this game from one to ten I would give it a 8. Here is the trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h0cgmvIrZw.
