I don't play any action games, however, could Downhill Snowboard 3 be considered such?

Just pick a game under action, play it, and do a section on that game.

I pick . . . . . . . . The Last Stand 2! Which I have played. A million times. In fact, I even wrote a review about it, a very long time ago. I'll post my review. Here is:

My Review

Graphics 9/10
The graphics are very good with some flaws. The characters posse is very 2-dimentional and the character can just walk right through them. The zombies are very well done with alot of randomization. The blood is very static when the zombie hits the floor but looks very realistic.

Gameplay 10/10
The gameplay is very fun with alot of weapons and the ability to give your posse your own weapons. The search part where you have to select where in the town or city you look that day is a great improvement over The Last Stand 1. The weapon variety is astronomical from the classic chainsaw to new weapons such as the Compound Bow or Hand Grenades. The traps are also a great improvement the first, although the variety is somewhat limited.

Sound 9/10
The music and sounds are surprisingly good, with good music that fits the mood and very accurate gun sounds. The explosions lack in realism however they are startling when Land Mines go of as it is unexpected.

Originality 9.5/10
The originality of this game is very good, although the zombie idea is very overused, The Last Stand 2 puts a new twist on things from small things such as a variety of weapons to large things such as the ability to travel but only after getting enough supplies, as well as very good music.

Overall 10/10
The Last Stand 2 is definitely a great game than anybody can just jump on their computer and play, and is probably one of the greatest games of all time, and will definitely become a classic.

'Twas on page 74 of TLS2's comments XD

Well I guess I will do The Last Stand 1

Ok heres my review of it:

Graphics 8/10:They we all good but it was just lacking something on my computer,maybe its just mine.

Gameplay 9/10:Well I like the whole guard the barrier but lets face it it does get boring just sitting there shooting zombies with no real objective but to survive 30 days.

Sound 9/10:Great sound with the guns and everything but I wish I could of heard the survors haveing catch phases like"Oh s*** were all going to die" and then the main guy would say something like"Man up we will make it"and then for a little added bonus the survior may say(if a girl)"Im girl......" and then a akward silence.

Originality 9/10:Well there is like 100's of these games out there but Con put a little of his twist to make it a little differnt.

Overall:9/10.Great game,pretty easy controls,its medium on the diffuclty chart I would say,pretty good ghaphics.Just a truly awsome game that anyone can play with mostly no problem.Nice work Con

SO how was it?

Great Mario, try to add in the identifier so that people know what game you are reviewing and don't have to read something that they already know to find out what you are talking about.

Alert me if you ever get to a part about the community. I could literally write a book about the AG community.

Heres another:
Part: 1
Action Games
Siege Master

Graphics 7/10:It has ok graphics I guess,but we all have seen better

Gameplay 7.5/10:Well the game play is good but some levels are relly hard,and you can only use the special shots only a few times before running out.

Sound 8/10:Its just got that war bomb sound when you release your bomb and I mean big war bombs,and it has the grunts and that stuff

Originality 7.9/10:Its just seemed like a rip off from the crush the castle series,but it had a little twist with it.

Overall 7.5/10:Its a ok game,still could use a little touching up here and there but still ok.

Pillage the Village

Graphics 8/10: Graphics are ok, could be better though. I enjoyed watching the villager's bodies rot away quickly after they died. The skeletons were well done. Specific characters were done more lazily than others. The background could use some work though.

Gameplay 10/10: Great gameplay, I have to say. The tutorials are nice and easy to figure out the game from scratch by using them. The game has great progressive difficulty and items after some time too.

Sound 9/10: The game has great sound effects. The grunts don't apply to the characters though. Child like villagers have really deep voices, and the larger characters have slightly higher ones, which is a slight issue. The other sounds are really well done though.

Originality 10/10: I have never seen a game like this before, so I have to say that it is a really original game. Throwing little people and killing them because it's fun has not been done yet. The only things that have been done are smash them with stuff, shoot them, or some other way of killing people, but not by throwing them into the sky.

Overall 9/10: I thought it was a pretty amusing game, but could use a bit of work. Great for mindless fun too! If you like random, crazy violence, this is a great game for you.

Graphics 9.5/10-most people would probalby say ten but there is just some things on my computer that dont move smoothly. But it could just be my computer

Gameplay 10/10- this is one of the best flash games i played. i like how you can custimize and upgrade your character. The weapons in this game are awesome there is so many to choose from. Also the choice you can make when you can pick the powers you want which is awesome

Sound 10/10- The sound effects matched perfectley to what was going on in the game. And actual voice actors in a flash game that is very cool.the music fit perfectley to.

Originallity 9.5/10- This would be a ten out of ten but its zombies they are used way way way way way way way too much. But it gave it a twist making thew zombie a good guy for once which i extremely liked

overall 9.7/10-which rounds up to ten. this is the best flash game ive ever played not lying. theres really nothing else to say its a great game
