To give an example, every one of the cards used in-game has a description about 4-5 full lines long - all 655 of them. Pretty much the epitome of Doing It for the Art, with an utterly insane amount of attention paid to detail. Despite all these lovely aspects, it's unfortunately become more polarizing these days. Level designs were great- there were many paths for the player to take in each level, including multiple secret paths. The bosses were quite entertaining- whether it be fending off a swamp worm, defeating a yeti, or playing fish tennis with an octopus. Gameplay was fun- your character had a regular Goomba Stomp, but gained powerups too, while each set of levels had unique and different types of insectoid enemies. A fun and comical platformer featuring a bug who has to travel six different worlds to save his family from an evil spider, it was also one of the first 3D platformers. Too bad it had the misfortune of being overshadowed by the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Atari 7800 had some pretty solid arcade ports and was also compatible with almost all Atari 2600 games.One way to describe it is Ecco the Dolphin meets Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but even that is a woefully simplistic and inadequate description for this gem. Along the way, you gain Shapeshifting Powers, get to ride giant turtles and seahorses, enjoy a massive amount of Scenery Porn and Awesome Music, and kill gods. Aquaria is an indie game made by BitBlot about a Fish Girl with amnesia who simply wants to discover who she is, where she is, and what happened to everyone in all of these ruined civilizations you run across.Unfortunately AoW was released by the same time as Command & Conquer Generals and didn't have too much appretiation from reviews, which said there was no particular innovation for the genre (a rather dull argument considering RTS gamers usually don't appretiate changes to classic gameplay) or simply diminished it, these videos show a bit of the game.

Only one of them is for online play, and it's a bit of a tricky one too. The game is liberal with trophies, and I was going for the Platinum before my progression was put to a premature end. Even if you want to run away from said battle and give yourself more room - forget it! The creatures and characters on-screen somehow take up more space than they should and there is an invisible bubble around them which you cannot pass through. You will often move so slowly that you won't be able to help getting massacred by orcs and trolls. Besides this particular bug I found the characters, movement and collision detection to be very clunky.

It looks, plays, and feels a lot like a Dungeon Siege game, and for anyone disappointed with the lame Dungeon Siege 3 then War in the North would have been a perfect remedy had it not sabotaged my ability to actually finish it. The game itself tells a story not detailed by either Tolkien or CGI-obsessed nutcase Peter Jackson, but does take place in the latter's expansive LOTR universe.

I was just about the play the final chapter of the game when I got stuck between two checkpoints in Norinbad, and unable to advance any further. A lot of people have been commenting on how buggy this game is.
