Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis

Review by RadicaIEdward

"Best game for the Xbox and Gamecube to date!"

Before the review stars, let me make this clear...this game has been bashed by many reviwers. You may think by my score that this is a joke review. Its not. I really did enjoy this game a lot. Hence, my score.

Gameplay-10/10

The gameplay is very simaler to the Superman-Shadow of Apacilipse game for the Gamecube. The swimming in the game feels alot like the flying in SM:SOA, and the diffrent techniques you can do in the game are simaler too. Basicly, you swin underwater and kill baddies by using diffrent techniques you are given or get throughout the game. One cool power is the ability to call a dolphin, which makes a dolphin(duh)come and dispose of a baddie. Useing the diffrent techniques in the right time and against the right baddie is key to your sucsess in the game. This is one reason the game never gets old. You need to use strategy to kill most of your foes, and if you don't, it will make the game hard and not as fun. This gameplay rivals some of the great games i have ever played. Brilliant. Masterful. Spectacular. These all discribe the outstanding gameplay in this game. It never gets boring or fusterating killing them. Also, the submarine levals are very good, and adds to the games all ready great value. Heck, I think the sub levals are almost as good as the regualr levals!

Graphics-10/10

These graphics are the best on the box and the cube. The framerate never studers, so it feels like your playing a movie. I love the Comic book clips in th game. It makes it very diffrent from most games, and they look good and keep your interested throughout the game. The water is bright and makes the game easy to see, at least on my home TV. The baddies are done nicely, they look clean and move very fluid. The backrounds are top of the line. They look very nice and are usally diffrent then any other you have seen in the game before. The Xbox version looks better, but not by much. The only real diffrence is the backrounds look blocky-er on the Cube and thier is a little slowdown, but not much.

Replay-10/10

I have beaten the game 2 times now. The game is so deep and fun you will HAVE to play it more than once. And though it is shore, i think it ADDS to the replay value. It makes you wish you had more of this great game, and so you play it again. the games story is also SO deep, you have to play the game again to try to try to find secret story line holes in the game. Best replay value in a game since...well...no game has had as much replay value really!

Sound-11/10

Truely and utterly awsome. The musical score is the best ever im any game ever created. The music gets your blood pumping and your heart beating. The sound affects sound perfect for this kind of game. Sure, it may sound cartoon-ish and fake to some, but Aquaman was a darn comic book hero, so it SHOULD sound this way. It really feels like your in the comic book world when you combine the graphics and sound of this game.

Overall-10/10

Best game i have ever played. Period. The game is epic and powerful, and the 21 total levals, and the huge replay value, you will be playing the game for years and years to come. I own both versions of the game, and if you have both the xbox and gamecube, get the xbox one.

Brilliant. The best game ever made for any console ever.And its only 20 dollars! If you want a great game, and you want cheap, get this game. And get it now!!!
