Dissidia Final Fantasy (GAME)

Dissidia is a must need for PSP owners. If you love Final Fantasy, get it, don't even stop and think about it. If you don't, still get it, it shouldn't be missed out.

Dissidia brings back the main heroes/villains from the first 10 games, and 2 hidden characters. One from 11 and one from 12. They're brought together from a conflict between Cosmos and Chaos, light and darkness. And for a PSP game, it's huge. There are 22 characters too play as, 24 levels to go too, and a huge story mode. There's just so much to do.

Even though it's a huge game, there are a few things to say. The graphics are great, but in cutscenes the expressions on the faces look... well, bad.
But it really makes up for it in voice acting and gameplay. All of the voice acting is just great. Everyone is top notch.

Gameplay is extremely fun, you'll find yourself playing for a long time, I haven't tried online, but I can see that being really, really fun. Bottom line, it's great fun.

Another thing is, even though there's plenty of characters, some feel a lot better than others. Everything should be evened out, but there's just plenty of characters that feel unfair. For example, Golbez. He's not slow, he's strong, but he nearly always get you. He just doesn't seem fair. Chaos is also really evened out. He's not playable, and he's only a boss, but when you fight him he's extremely strong, fast, and he can attack you from almost anywhere, in the small area you're in.

Overall: 9/10

Funny People


Funny People isn't what you'd expect. With Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen you're most likely expecting a hilarious comedy, but instead what you're really getting is a drama with humor put in at times. But that being said, it's not a bad thing, it's actually a good thing.

One thing about the movie that it was longer than I expected, it was around two and a half hours long, while some points not holding my attention. For example, George and Ira at Laura's house seemed to drag on just a little too much, and a lot of other scenes could've been cut down.

The movie is written and directed by Judd Apatow so you're going to get really likable characters, that are really funny. Maybe not ALWAYS hilarious in the movie, the comedy scenes are really good. Adam Sandler plays George perfectly, him acting doesn't seem like a movie, it seems real. Seth Rogen also fits his role, the guy who hopes too be a comedian, with the help of George, while Ira helps George himself.

One small thing I'll add before ending this review was there were a lot of great cameos in this movie. Norm McDonald, Ray Romano, Andy Dick, and Justin Long are a few to name. Those are the only cameos I really loved, but I had too mention it.

Overall: 7/10
Pros:
Surprisingly sad, funny when it wants too be, everyone is lovable
Cons: Perhaps a bit too long
