ZTGD's Professor Chaos writes: In closing I am going to say that this is game does a lot of things right. The co-op is fun, the action is intense and in fact the only negative things about this game are the camera, story, and pop in graphics. If you can get past all of those things underneath you might not find the ultimate 50-Cent experience but you will at the very least find a pretty good action arcade shooter. For those hardcore Fiddy fans though, you will love everything about this one and will spend all your time making sure to unlock every single song the disc holds.
Pros
+ Co-op is fun
+ Shooting is way better than the first
Cons
- Story sucks...bad
- Camera doesn't need to be so close
Most licensed games tend to be below average, but every now and then, developers produce a game based on an existing license that is actually good.
EA back in the early PS2/Xbox/GC-era actually put out some pretty good licensed games, notably 007 Nightfire , 007 Everything or Nothing and some of their Lord of The Rings games.
The world is not enough had a really good game made by eurocom on n64, it was overshadowed by goldeneye and perfect dark unfortunately, I think it has aged better in certain ways, and it had a better framerate. I miss the old days of solid bond games.
There were a bunch of fun Bond games, but Goldeneye and World's Not Enough (running on the ski lines in multiplayer was too much fun back in day)
Nightfire was also really great, as well.
I enjoyed "The Great Escape" game on the PS2. Also "The Thing" on PS2 wasnt to bad. Unfortunately it was to hard at the time when I was younger.
6th gen in general was a really good gen for licensed games, so many surprising gems from that time
Peter Jackson's King Kong.
Avatar: The game
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And love it or hate it, Enter The Matrix really scratched the itch for Matrix games as well.
COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.
Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.
The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.
Yeah, I know a lot of people who liked the game, and said they wouldn't mind a sequel which improved on the original.
Loads of people did. Loads of people also played it on PS+.
Although, I don't really know what the actual numerical value is of a load, unless it's the kind of load that we usually see used to criticize Sony or its games.
The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.
Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.
Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending
I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.
Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4
I wonder what would happen if Knack was multiplatform. Would people defend it that much.
I think people probably wouldn't even pay attention to it at all. There is no denying that exclusives do get a bit of a bump in notoriety. Same could be said for any number of mid-tier game which is multi-plat. It doesn't really get that much attention outside of an announcement, maybe an occasional screen shot or marketing blurb, and then some reviews on release. Quite a few mid-tier titles that are exclusive...especially those from 1st party, get a lot more attention.
That being said, the first one was pretty fun for a launch title. The second one was really good, although still had some room to do things better.
Here are the seven Xbox 360 games that still need to be backwards compatible with the Xbox One, including one last Call of Duty title and a hip hop artist that needs to find his skull.
GRAW2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and I’ll be set. I’m a little bitter though you can’t buy Splinter Cell Blacklist digitally, I certainly would have bought a new copy to play, I don’t have my disc anymore and I’ll never own another game on disc. Same thing happened with Red River, not sure why it happens but it is disappointing.
You can actually buy Blacklist digitally:

I agree with you though, we need GRAW2, but the game that I am really waiting for is The Darkness (the first game). I just played through GRAW1, and it was the first time that I had ever played the Xbox 360 version. It was good, but GRAW2 is definitely heads and tails above it in terms of the campaign.
It they could ever manage to release FEAR1 digitally, that would be awesome, but not likely.
Would love Dishonored 1 and the Batman Arkham games on BC, the remastered versions of those games is hot garbage.
Do people actually play 360 games on the xb1 or do they kinda toy around for a while to check out the improvements? Im curious because i cant stand last gen games

I can see that. I dont like shooters but if you play those, i guess youd be really into the BC
I bought the Xbox one X because of the backwards compatibility. Last gen games look amazing, Gears, Red dead look incredible in 4K. Still some of the best games were on last gen.
Infinite Undiscovery is the only one I'm waiting on, I replayed Blue Dragon when it hit BC.
Wow,higher than expected tbh.
!!!!
I absolutely hate 50cent but I'm considering looking into this for a few cheap laughs.
I feel so dirty.
The only reason that this game is getting tens is because journalist are now messy and racist.
Cant wait for this game :)
