Which game should I get ?

**Prafull** · December 11th, 2002

I prefer action-adventures.
Looks like I will have to get one of these three. So what you think ,Which of these should I get ?

December 11th, 2002

I dont know syberia. mafia apparantly is a bit like GTA. Nolf2 is humorous but I heard that overall it's not so different from your average fps with storyline.

**Prafull** · December 11th, 2002

Well personally I am more inclined to get syberia coz all the reviews and screenshots are pointing towards a very interesting and beautiful game. Also its all along an adventure game (which i like most).
i dont know much about mafia but NOLF2 is an fps and I really didnt liked any other fps game except half life and thief.

December 11th, 2002

skip nolf2 then

btw, I've seen an increase in adventure games for the pc recently.
personally I think thats a good thing; all the fps, strategy, simulations and rpgs are really killing the fun for me.

The same thing was said of Morrowind.... which was for me the second biggest waste of money I ever spent on.

u should get mafia, but try the demo first.

Sera · December 11th, 2002

your right shiori, morrowind was a waste of money,
i dont really trust adventure games, unless they are made by japanese.
but i suggest you get mafia. not only it feels and looks like GTA3 but they also gave more emphasis on gun fighting.

I personaly wouldn't have bought any of those three games. I'm not a big fan of Mafia. My rother had it, and I just didn't find it as fast paced and fun as GTA 3. No One Lives Forever the original was OK, but ot a superb game.

I thought the original NOLF was an amazing game... it's hilarious and there's so much attention to detail it's incredible. The amount of weapons and items and the great cheesy Bond-esque 60's environments are great. NOLF2 takes all the strengths of the first game and improves on it. It's a great great game and I highly recommend it.

Of course, Mafia is a great game too. Highly plot driven and far more realistic than GTA3. Don't buy it cause you think it'll be like GTA3, cause while it looks superficially like it, the style of gameplay is pretty different.

Never played Syberia, but I would rather get Mafia then nolf2. But if you like Austin Powers, nolf2 may be the right thing for you.

Wait what is no one lives for ever about anyway?

December 11th, 2002

it's a mix between james bond and austin powers , with a female main character

Zapages · December 11th, 2002

Get Syberia...

Neojag · December 11th, 2002

Er, get The Longest Journey

systemid · December 12th, 2002

So does no one lives for ever kind of have a timesplitters feel to it? It didnt seem syberia got good reviews, atleast at ign but i look around a little more to see more reviews. The graphics were awsome though.

Decoy_Octopus · December 12th, 2002

timesplitters is like NOLF on speed, and drugs have fried its brains.

Rebel_X · December 12th, 2002

Little Big Adventure 1 and 2, are good, released the same year as FF7.. 1997

its story good, graphics strange-good-acceptable because you play as a Twinsen in the TwinSun planet..

or get Commandos 2: Men of Courage, damn I cant sleep until finish it..

watch out its 3CDs to install and 2GB the space it needs minimum, it has other versions for XboX and PS2, like PC..
