Hunter Bright

One of the best games to come out in recent years. If you want a video game to sink a bunch of time into, this game is perfect for you. If you want to breeze through the game and beat it in 20 hours or less, it just isn't going to happen. Never before have I seen a video game get so much flak for having a big map and constantly having something for you to do. The present day story is not really to my liking, but the actual story surrounding the playable character is pretty good if you are paying attention and not just skipping through dialogue. The first DLC isn't really that great, but it helps explain how the bloodline starts. The second one is a good challenge and gives you a new world to explore, which is nice.

So far I am enjoying this remake, the new PK skating is pretty nice. The telekinesis is also buffed in this version, which is a welcome thing for me since in the ps2 version it does almost no damage. Body snatch time is increased which I liked. It was a bit confusing to get thrown into a mission and told to read someone's mind to get a location, but there was no prompt for how to do and it is different than in the ps2 version as well. It is missing some of the faction battles that would just happen in between certain missions, and also apparently the gongs in the Japan level don't spawn the ninjas anymore. It will also lock you out of going to where you want during missions which is a little aggravating. The maps are really well made now though, and feel a little bit bigger then they used to. 8/8.5 out of 10 imo. The $40 price is also nice
