Here I'll be doing reviews on different movies, tv shows, video games, etc. I'll first be reviewing the game Wildlife Park 3. Wildlife Park 3 is a nice game. The first two games were pretty good, especially the graphics of the second one, but this one has even more realistic graphics. The graphics are amazing, but a little bit cartoony I have to admit. What really annoys me about this game was the choice of animals. The game said that it would have African animals, marine animals and prehistoric animals. This makes you think that there are no expansions required and it has a broad selection of different animals to adopt. The only African animals were really basic, such as elephants, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, and lions. The selection of prehistoric animals was incredibly small. Just the woolly mammoth, elasmotherium, and smilodon. No dinosaurs at all. Then the worst selection was marine animals. There are literally no true marine animals, only the King penguin, the polar bear, and the sea lion, which are all semi-aquatic. The interface is pretty easy and I like the idea of animals appearing for sale in the market at random times. Sometimes this is unfair though because it could take a long time for the animal you want to show up at the market. One thing I didn't like was that there isn't much interaction with the animals. Also, I didn't like the fact that you couldn't create the prehistoric animals unlike the first two games. You just buy them at the market as adults or juveniles. The missions are very enjoyable but there is one thing about the maps that really annoy me. When you select a map and start, you build your park and then exit when you're done. Now you want to build a different park but on the same map. You go to the map selector and see that you now have the option to reset that map. You can't use the same map again without deleting the zoo that was first built there. I like that they organized the animals by climate. There is Polar, Temperate, Subtropical, and Tropical. It was a bit strange that they decided to put Elasmotherium in subtropical, it would make more sense to go in temperate like the mammoth. What I love about this game is that it is so easy to modify and create new usermade animals. The reason why you can do this is the variation of animals in this game. There are different colored animals like the black mammoth and the white lion and they are somewhat considered as 'subspecies' of their normal counterparts. You can simply create your own 'subspecies' with a new name and the ini files for the animals can be easily manipulated using notepad. Overall, it's a great game and I rate it 4/5 stars.  This concludes the review for Wildlife Park 3, see you next time with a new review! Edited by Alterbean7, Oct 19 2013, 08:39 PM.

If anyone is wondering, I will consider requests for movies, tv shows and video games. It depends on whether I have the game/movie though. Next review will be the cult classic internet sensation syfy shark movie 'Sharknado'! If you have any opinions on the things I'm reviewing, go ahead and post it, even if it's against what I'm saying

I actually might do another video game review before Sharknado, but I'm willing to take requests before I write the Sharknado review.

CAUTION: Spoilers ahead! Sharknado Usually this type of movie would just add to the pile of syfy Jaws rip-off movies, but this new one has become a major twitter trend and an internet sensation. It starts off on a boat, which is unusual in shark movies because it usually starts off with fun at the beach. But then it goes to the beach, where a freak 'hurricane' hits. The weather changes shot by shot strangely, starting off with huge waves hitting the coastline but then suddenly it switches back to a normal beach. Then sharks hit the boardwalk, literally, as they just land randomly on the ground. Then a man decides to do the classic 'stuff the scuba tank into the shark and then shoot it' so the shark's head explodes. Then the ferris wheel breaks down and starts rolling down the boardwalk. That made me laugh for some reason, because of how unrealistic that is. Eventually we see the streets flooding and sharks side by side with cars. There is a dangling school bus full of kids with sharks below, but they save all the children. Then out of nowhere suddenly the Hollywood sign is ripped apart and is flying through the sky. I could've sworn I saw three H's fly by. What I don't understand is why these tornados pick up only sharks and nothing else. No debris, no other animals, not even sand or coral. Then, they decide to use bombs to stop tornados, but in real life I'm pretty sure that would just make things worse... After that, a flying shark eats one of the main characters after they fall out of a helicopter into the tornado. Then one of the main characters has a chainsaw and jumps into a sky-diving shark. The shark lands and nothing happens. But then you see a chainsaw starting to rip through the stomach of the shark and he comes out, with the girl that got eaten. Wow, major coincidence... This also proves that sharks never eat their prey, they just swallow it xD. So overall, it was an extremely interesting movie that is meant to be entertainment, it's a fun movie and I rate it 5/5 Runaway Ferris Wheels This concludes the Sharknado review, next time will be a video game review (I'm still deciding) Also, tonight at midnight they are screening Sharknado in theaters across the US Thanks for reading!

Sorry about the delay for Jurassic Park: The Game, but I really wanted to do a review of this first Caution: Spoilers Ahead! Mammoth This 2006 original Syfy film has a seriously strange concept. First, it starts with a scene at a museum, where some kids sneak into the under-construction exhibit which turns out to be a frozen woolly mammoth. Later on a 'meteor' crashes into the city which is actually an alien craft. The alien forms manage to get inside the frozen mammoth, and the mammoth is now possessed. It breaks out of its icy chamber and kills the security guard. This is where the complaints begin. The mammoth is furless. Yet it's frozen. They constantly refer to it as a woolly mammoth. Also, its tusks are as thick as its trunk and it has glowing eyes. This isn't a zombie movie, right? This is a picture of it. The mammoth goes on a killing spree in the forest which leads to a party where it literally flattens a bunch of teenagers. Then these government agents, Powers and Whitaker, attempt to resolve this with high tech guns but they didn't help at all. The government soon begins a plan to use a nuclear bomb to destroy the indestructible beast. Then one of the main characters named Squirrelly (strange name...) is impaled by the creature's tusk. The remaining characters lure it to an industrial factory where molten steel is poured on the creature, which still didn't help... Finally, the movie had to come to an end so they lured the mammoth into a large trap and started to fill up the trap with liquid nitrogen, which freezes the mammoth back into its original state. But in order to do that, one of the characters, Simon, had to freeze himself too. He destroyed the controls, causing liquid nitrogen to spray on him and the mammoth. The mammoth was put back in its exhibit and the body was taken by the government. Overall it was a really strange movie so I'm going to rate it 3/5 Hairless Zombie Mammoths I hope you enjoyed this review! Next review will be Jurassic Park: The Game! |
