This game is an adventure you'll be happy to know if you don't like the sounds of the monkey family clapping their hands and beating their drums. Not to say you won't be doing that though, and to control the kongs, you will infact be using the Bongo drums supplied with Donkey Konga! I dont know eactly how any of this will work, but sooner or later, more details will be unvieled!

More E3 news to go drool about! Although i've become lazy, i've still got the basics on all the best games! Read on....
Viewtiful Joe 2
This time round the game allows you to play as either Joe or Silvia, both of whom have their own styles and ways in the game. The game is just about the same as the original in terms of gameplay, it is superbly fast-paced and fluid and the action never stops! Joe has all the moves from the first game in the demo, whereas the all new Silvia (the damsel in distress you have to rescue in the first game) comes with all new kicks and punchesâ¦sort of. This girl doesnât punch, she doesnât slap, but she shoots from a gun, she also structures VFX moves differently to Joe.
All the old faces are here to be kicked into submission, along with a fairly large catalogue of new and even more strange/camp enemies. This time round the game asks you to think a bit more, you have to employ a lot less button-bashing to get any success this time around, meaning you have to come up with strategies for each individual foe. Some have guns, some have specific weak spots, some have shields and others can only be damaged by some of your most vietiful moves.

Paper Mario 2
This is basically a full in sequel to the N64 original with a few enhancements and additions to make it something a bit different and special. Mario is of course the star, who is joined by a plethora of goodies and baddies in various different scenarios. You come across various battles, with a very decent system to handle all your moves and grooves.
There are not masses of new additions, but the ones that are here are very well implemented. Your partner his there very own health meter, the attack and defence system has had a massive overhaul and a crowd now watches your battles. Various moves seem to please the assembled masses very much, you can perform some earth-shaking moves and the controls are very fluid and easy to use.
There were three areas in the E3 demo. One is Boggly Woods, the other Crystal Fields and the final one is a level featuring lots of Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas. The first level from the above is in a woodland setting, where we were paired with a slugâ¦fun. His special move is the Gale Force, by hitting A enemies go flying out of the âarenaâ so to speak. Enemies consist of various beats, from Piranha Plants to insects and of course the usual puzzle based elements to conquer. Sadly, Nintendo were rushing us to get off the unit so we couldnât spend too much time exploring. Next up is the Crystal Field, where you are accompanied by Goombella, where you are up against Goombas and suchlike, a bit repetitive, but fun none the less.
Finally, the last level on show as in a castle setting, where you are up against Koopa and Paratroopas. We really enjoyed this level, as Mario could use his ability to fold into a paper aeroplane, and glide across the level (with you controlling the glider with the control stick) and get to new areas. It is great fun and a nice little touch in what was a very repetitive little demo.

UbiSoft Announce 'Racing in Notorius: Die to Drive'
Image Link: Click Here
Cubed-3.co.uk Wrote:Ubisoft announced earlier today at the E3 conference today a unique title known as Notorious: Die to Drive that takes the basic fundamentals of racing and combines it with a unique urban battle conception. The combination of the city warfare, which can be seen on the streets of both real life and in the media, with generic car racing allows players with a more wild and somewhat dangerous streak to take to the road. Racers take to the steets where eliminating opponents doesnât just mean a title, it means building a notorious stash of the good old greens â cash â with action on screen matched by various rap artists (in a similar style to True Crime: Streets of LA).
"Ubisoft has a long history of making great racing games and we wanted to capitalize on that by bringing something unique to the genre, which accounts for nearly 20% of the U.S. console market. The killer soundtrack and mature theme gives Notorious: Die to Drive the kind of edge that arcade fans are looking for."
Tony Kee, Vice President of Marketing for Ubisoft Inc
The title promises to include car based level racing where power and respect play key roles in character and player development. To found this, a reward system employed allows players to essentially move up rants where both wealth and power fuel expansion in the danger filled title. Included are 30 vehicles that span from the generic modern cars to classic vintage roadsters, 20 weapons that span pistols, machine guns and shotguns. Interestingly enough there are over 45 stages of pure action that are available in seven unique game modes â superb!
The title is set to ship in Early 2005
