X-Play Season 2 Episode 27 Gang of Five

  • May 14, 2004

X-Play is a popular video game review show hosted by Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb. In season 2 episode 27 titled "Gang of Five," the hosts take on five new games that range from futuristic first-person shooters to medieval action-adventure games.

The first game they review is Gore: Ultimate Soldier, a first-person shooter set in the future. The game features intense multiplayer action and a campaign mode that pits players against a variety of enemies, from cyborgs to giant robots. The hosts both agree that the game is fun and the graphics are impressive, but they note that the fast-paced gameplay can be overwhelming for some players.

Next up is Drakengard, an action role-playing game set in a medieval world filled with dragons and magic. The hosts are impressed by the game's cinematic storytelling and well-developed characters, but they note that some of the game's mechanics, such as the flying sections, can be frustrating.

The third game is World Tour Soccer 2005, a sports game that allows players to take control of a team and compete in various international leagues. Adam and Morgan both agree that the game is fun and offers a realistic soccer experience, but they note that some of the controls can be difficult to master.

The fourth game is Ape Escape 3, a platformer in which players control a group of monkeys as they try to escape from a laboratory. The hosts are charmed by the game's quirky humor and creative level design, but they note that the camera can be frustrating at times.

The final game they review is Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked, an action game based on the popular anime series. The hosts are impressed by the game's unique combat system, which allows players to switch between three different characters, each with their own fighting style. They also praise the game's cel-shaded graphics and great soundtrack.

Overall, the hosts agree that all five games are worth playing, but each has its own strengths and weaknesses. They wrap up the episode by encouraging viewers to check out these games and decide for themselves which ones they like best.
