Advantages: Friendly and innocent artists, singing about things slightly less innocent Disadvantages: Not a great mix of tracks
Teeny-bopper hip-hop?
Whilst both BowWow and Omarion have experienced moderate success as solo artists, they interestingly came across the idea of creating an entire studio album of collaborations. I am someone that is all for seeing huge stars clash together to create even bigger records, but could a combination of these two artists become a little irritating? BowWow is now finally twenty-one, and after many years in the music industry it is now legal for him to drink at his own album release parties. Whilst the guy (previously Lil BowWow) has received a lot of jokes at his expense for his role in music when he was younger, when he began to produce more grown-up music around 2005 ('Like You') it was worth taking notice of him as being an artist with a good eye for R&B records. 'Face Off' is BowWow's sixth studio album since ...
Advantages: Fun to play, Darth Vader, interesting story, lightsabers and force powers in general. Disadvantages: No multiplayer, not long enough, fewer force powers than expected.
Star Wars The Force Unleashed is a game which was designed to fit in between the 3rd and 4th films in the Star Wars saga.
The story is told from Darth Vader's secret and powerful apprentice "Galen Starkiller". The story is about Starkiller's quest to eliminate all of the Jedi's that remain in the galaxy, to ensure the Empire's total dominance.
The gameplay is very good, with a good range of force powers and moves to learn, as well as several outfits and lightsaber colours to unlock on the way by finding various "Holocron's" that are scattered throughout the game. The player has huge control over the force powers, some including Force Grip, Force Lightning and Saber Throw. There are many different combinations for the player to find and play around with, with different rewards based on the level. There is also quite a bit ...
Advantages: Great story, controls may appeal to some Disadvantages: Dated graphics, repetitive, cheats which can't be turned off, not much replay value
OK, I want to get one thing out of the way. If you own a PS3 or an Xbox 360 as well as a wii, get it for the HD console. Why? I'll tell you.
The Force Unleashed suffers for the wii, mainly due to the fact it just looks a whole lot worse than its HD competition. If you play the PS3 or 360 version you're not going to want to touch the wii version. Now I know what you're thinking; surely the wii version will be good 'cos its got motion control. I've always wanted to swing a lightsaber around in a video game! Trust me, if you've heard the term 'waggle' before you'll know why I hate the controls. They're not terrible and the lightsaber controls are better than Zelda: Twilight Princess' sword control but I still would rather press a button than waggle a controller.
Anyway, Force Unleashed takes place between episodes 3 and 4 and revolves ...
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regulaur audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Contains three untitled hidden tracks following "I'm Back". Initial pressings of UNLEASHED include a bonus track, entitled "I'm Back." Personnel: Bow Wow, Baby (rap vocals); Jagged Edge, Mario, Amerie (vocals); Bink. (various instruments, programming); Charles Pettaway (guitar). Producers include: The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, Jazze Pha, Bink., Jonathan Smith. As is the bar (or bat) mitzvah in the Jewish faith, so is the shedding of the Lil' in hip-hop culture, and so it is Lil' Bow Wow's time to ascend to manhood. The boy born Shad Moss in 1987 had a relatively good run of it in childhood, flowing flawlessly on stage with Snoop Dogg at age 6 (hence the name), and garnering two platinum records, numerous top 40 hits, and number one rap singles like "Bounce With Me." However, at 16, he now simply goes by Bow Wow and with the aptly named UNLEASHED, his third offering, he has quite the coming-out party. Bow Wow knows how to get a party started right with the grungy holla'in banger "Get It Poppin'" and the charged swingin' single "Let's Get Down." "Eighteen" courageously opens with a skit where the teenaged rapper gets id'ed and bounced at a club before he launches into an longingly aching anthem (even bemoaning to a potential girl how he can't get her into the clubs). Crooners Jagged Edge drop by as Bow Wow displays a most genuine sensitive side, like a slightly more vulnerable LL Cool J, on "My Baby." Overall, UNLEASHED stands a compelling chronicle of a prodigy MC coming of age.
