I don't take the time to write reviews often, but this game hit some heartstrings for me. If you grew up in my era and the SNES is what you remember being the best part of being a kid, you need to get this game. I know the price tag is a bit much, but this isn't some cheap SNES clone that you'll mindlessly play through and forget about. Everything from the gameplay, story, graphics, music, and feel of the game will be sending chills down your spine. It's Zelda. It's Final Fantasy. It's Metroid. It's all of those placed into a neat little package that tells a completely new and amazing story that will grab your by your heart and yank it out of your chest. The best part about it all is how it is presented to you. It's not a lot, and it's not a little. It's the perfect amount of detail to keep you wanting more. I also should mention that they get the feels down SO HARD. It's all about little moments that make you teary eyed, or yell, or smile, or cheer. Everything about this game is what I thought it wasn't going to be and it is hands down one of the best games I have played this year. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

Stole a taco truck while the sun was going down. Bob Seger - Night Moves started playing on the radio. 10/10

But really, there are so many little things about this game that will make you crack up it's worth it just on that alone. That's what I love about the GTA games. Walking by people saying ridiculous things, finding random easter eggs, mowing down people on the sidewalk. It's all there. If you like GTA and haven't played this do yourself a favor and get it. It's worth the sixty bucks. You also get GTA online, which I haven't even tried yet because the game itself is so much fun.

Co-Op through the roof! Co-Op vehicles. Crab things and Claptrap. Elemental guns, XP and levels with skill trees....It took one genre I typically don't enjoy (FPS) and smashed it in with an RPG, and it's flawless. I usually don't co-op unless I'm MMOing either, but this game does it perfect. In fact, I don't play it unless I'm online with a buddy running around. It's got hilarious story lines/quests and enough action to satisfy you for hours upon hours. It's like Far Cry meets Final Fantasy. Do I need to say more?

I've beaten the crap out of this game on PS3, so the hours as of right now do not reflect the full amount of time I've spent with this game. That being said, I bought this due to PS3s limitations with graphics and I wanted to see just how beautiful this game could be. We all know the dreaded 30 hour hallway, and honestly if you hate it you hate it, you love it you love it. Decide for your self. The first chunk is definitely an annoyance but once you get past that you have a huge amount of places and things to do.

I want to mention that if you have a dated PC, this game will run like absolute sh*t. I was trying to run it on a rig with an I5 and a GTX760 and it just wouldn't work right regardless of what I set it to. Fast forward to my tax return and building a new PC with a I7 4790k & a GTX 970 and it runs like a champ. Just wanted to let people who are curious know about this so that money isn't wasted on a game they can't play.

You can fart on everything including animals. You poo into the toilet and then save it for later to throw at enemies. You steal Cartman's mom's dildos. I haven't even scratched the surface of this game but if you like south park it is like playing an episode designed in RPG format. All of the "junk" items are pieces of nostalgia from the series' past, not to mention the things you encounter throughout your journey. 10/10 because it's South Park, and if you love the show you'd be a douche bag not to buy and play the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game!

For those of you who haven't played it, this game deserves hours of your life. I gladly spent hours of mine on the PS3 version, and have downloaded it on my PC to play through again on a harder setting and see the full potential of the graphics. This game is absolutely beautiful. The PS3 version had me impressed, PC has my mind blown. If you want to immerse yourself in a game that both feels and looks real, this is it. Graphics aside, the story starts you out on a skydiving adventure (no gameplay) that goes horribly wrong. You wake up in a cage with your buddy and have absolutely no idea what is going on, aside from the fact that some insane dude is talking to you from outside the cage. His name is Vaas, and you'll be working towards taking him and his regime down for the entirety of the game. He is one mental badass. The rest of the game involves taking over enemy camps, hunting animals, securing radio towers and powering them on which unlocks better weapons/ammo/attachments. There are various quests to do as well that will unlock things. It's a great set up, and you feel as though you become a part of the village you started in. I'd also add that the themesong is amazing and I have to listen to it more than once every time it comes on. There are some good songs throughout the game, but there's also the typical FPS-esque ones that drone on without any real melody. To me this game gets a 9/10. It's almost perfect. I cannot wait to see what Far Cry 4 is going to bring to the table.
