His first impressions of a game are always influenced by the gaming environment.
I'd like to know what your favourite gaming environments/worlds are?
Is it the dark labyrinths of Quake, or the cool and fresh cities of Crazy Taxi, or the secret facilities of GoldenEye and Metal Gear Solid, or the peculiar lands of Mario, Sonic and Rayman?
Tell me, I'm interested, really...
At the moment my fave place to go is the sunny cityscapes of New York in Crazy Taxi 2.
Pelting it around London in a black cab...
Shooting it out in Hells Kitchen, NY...
Although, noticably, only if its design is of the actual city (no good just stickking a load of Sky Scrapers up and saying its Chicago...
If I'm driving around London, I want to be able to know where I am and where I'm going from memory...
The Port of Adia on Turok 2 sticks in my mind also - a medieval town full of dead soliders murdered by twisted repilian warriors.
Shadow Island on Alone In The Dark 4 has a eery atmosphere too.
DinoCrisis 2 and ResidentEvil 2 also had some lush graphics, the jungle in DinoCrisis 2 looks sweet and the Police Station in Resident Evil 2 just has this wierd atmosphere. Resident Evil 2s enviroment is cool because its not just a haunted house, but a police station overun...very cool!
I love Klonoa to, its extremely pretty and colourful and in my opinion the best platformer on the Playstation.
