This game was released in 2013. It's 2022, and I just finally sat down to play it. Keeping that in mind, this game was phenomenal. The fighting mechanics are pretty basic. X to attack, Y to shield attack (guard break), A to counter, B to roll. Yet, I loved slicing and hacking at guys. The executions are pretty awesome, and it's always fun when you get a special execution like pushing someone into a fire, throwing them over a bridge, knocking them off a cliff, etc. Focus (slow motion) mode is always fun to use when there are ALOT of guys around. Can be very challenging on legendary mode, especially timing your parrys. Guys block way more attacks and of course you lose a lot more health. To me, the story was riveting. Marius, whose family was murdered by barbarians, seeks his revenge by rising through the ranks of the Roman army. An emperor whose greed is bringing the Roman civilization to its knees. It was well narrated by Marius, and the voice actor they used for his dialogue really sold the character for me. Overall, I give this a perfect score. There was really nothing in the game worth complaining about with how great the game itself was. I HIGHLY recommend this game.

Still a timeless classic for adults and kids. Many recognizable and loveable voice actors. I loved this movie when I was a kid, and my 5 year old loves it just as much. They don't make them like anymore that's for sure.

Great addition to the series. It feels like it starts a little slow and the controls feel heavy (especially after playing Payback), but as soon as you start upgrading your car it gets much better. If you like to keep the difficulty setting on high for the other racers, I recommend keeping a good gap between your car and the recommended levels of the race. Even up to 30 levels ahead, it can be quite difficult staying in the lead. The car tuning options in this one are the best out of any NFS in my opinion. You can tune any ride to drift through turns, corner hard through turns for rally races, drive off road, or swing wide turns for drifting events. I keep my car's steering and suspension tuned for hard corners only when racing. I used to LOVE sliding through turns fast when racing which you of course can still do, but instead now I stick to a line, brake and corner hard, then take off out of turns. It's so much different and I love it. The night/day racing for bank and rep is a little off putting, but you get used to it. Race in the day for money, race at night to earn rep and unlock better parts. Pretty straightforward. The storyline is decent. Far better than Payback. There are a lot of extra side story missions you can play as you go. The soundtrack however. Ugh, the soundtrack. 80% reggaeton, 15% hip hop, 5% random genre. I personally can't stand reggaeton, and I'm not a fan of hip hop. There are literally only two songs in this game that I like. I turned the music off altogether. I've experienced bugs with the sound, which can be aggravating at times. Once in a while, all sound will cut out except the noise of the car tires, and a little more often, the engine noise cuts in and out. A simple restart of the game fixes this (usually). Overall, I'm very satisfied. Worth the money.

Only made it about 20 minutes before I had to put the controller down. Button prompts every 10 seconds is the worst way to experience a game. Very frustrating. I'm trying to play a game, not read a novel. I'd rather you just throw me in the deep end and I'll figure it out on my own.

Awful awful movie. Terrible acting. Full of cheesy lines and performances by both Liotta and Statham. Seemed nobody could even do a proper accent. However, it's somehow still one of those bad movies that makes itself worth watching more than once.

Amazing game. Just like its predecessor, it's a gem that ranks among the best fps games made, and outclasses other numerous big name titles. For me, it's still better than cod. This one had a solid fun (albeit a little short) single player campaign that I was very happy to see. It was the only thing the first Titanfall lacked. It helps bring you a bit closer to the game and overall Titanfall experience. Online play is exceptional as before. I'm glad they kept the switchable data centers to make sure you can find games and keep a solid connection with everyone else. I was a little sad to see that you can't customize your titans as much as in the first, but there are some pretty cool new weapons and moves for both you and your titans. THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THE SMART PISTOL. You can now only get the smart pistol as a boost. There are several different "boosts" that you get as you score during a match. You can get those boosts several times per match (and more if you're good enough). I'm not as fond of the matchmaking system in this one. Late night, the only way I can find games sometimes is to just hit invite network. It took awhile to learn the maps because there are WAY too many, again. 21 maps is a little much in my opinion. Nevertheless, it is a GREAT game that I will continue to play online for as long as other people do. Well worth the purchase. Definitely worth it for the campaign alone if you can find it on sale for $5, which is often enough.
