Traded in, as I said I would.
Got 2 games for 4...ha...

Anyways, the two games were;

*X-MEN LEGENDS, which seems "ok"...not thus far as great as I've seen some claim, but it seems alright. Good comic-book "feel" to it. I have slight issues with the "only above" viewpoint, and no initial character selection screen.
Does the second one recolve the viewpoint issue at all? Because if it gets to me enough, this one might be going back...

*Jet Li - Rise to Honour.
Now this, for me is one of those games that I just plugged in and immediately liked. Got the elements I mentioned liking above in "yakuza", but a faster, cooler fighting system, better controls, and I don't get a loading screen every couple minutes. Pre-rendered "press now" kind've stunts thrown in are simple and easy to use enough that you can actually look at them, and appreciate their beauty. Storyline...uh...kind've 80's hongkong martial arts vibe goin' on, some nice cutscenes.
But yeah...good fights, and it seems that later there's some gunplay too. This one looks like a keeper to me, for sure...and I'd reccomend it.
