Since Suncoast is closing down, they've already started their sale. We went today because everything was between 20 and 40% off. <3
Keith spent $370 there. @_@;;; Then proceded to buy two video games at GameStop! XD I seriously think that man is nuts.
Anyway, what I got today:
+ Smexy Hellsing messenger bag
+ The last three Hellsing DVD's
+ The first Invader Zim DVD
+ The first Tenchi Muyo! DVD
+ An "otaku" t-shirt
+ L`Arc~En~Ciel's Smile CD
+ T.M.Revolution's Vertical Infinity CD
+ Jak X: Combat Racing
I'm absolutely in love with Jak X. The graphics are outstanding (they've developed a lot since the first Jak game was released), and the game play is pretty fast-pace.
The entire concept seems like a Mario Kart spin-off, except Mario Kart was never this cool. The controls are a bit tough to get used to - accelerating (x) Power Sliding (square) is a bit hard to manuever, but after a bit, the controls become almost completely first nature.
The story line is simple - Jak and his friends are called to Kras for the viewing of a will. However, after toasting to the deceased, the gang finds out that they've been poisoned, and the only way to retrieve the antidote is to win the Combat Racing championship.
In the Adventure mode, you play as Jak - hero of the first three Jak games. You start out with one car, and progress through a series of races, racing against your enemies - and your friends. Your objective is to achieve the highest ranking in all of the races you particpate in, to be sure that you win the championship, and get the antidote for the poison.
Along the way, you can win different vehicles and parts to customize your ride. Each car can be painted a different color, and be customized with different parts. There are twelve cars to collect (I have three right now), and they're few and far between. Most of them will be introduced right before you need them (for example, the Dragonfly is built mostly for the Icelands racing tracks; you get it just before you head there for your first competition.)
As you play and win races and competitions, you're awarded with Red Precursor orbs, which you can use to buy upgrades for your vehicles (acceleration, engine, turbo boost, and armor).
The game can be played in various ways - single player, two player, online, and LAN through an ethernet connection. Single player's a blast, so I can only imagine that two-player and online would be even better.
Nnnnow that I'm done with my mini-review. =D ...I have nothing left to say. xD; So...hah. D:
