New issue of Play
Score - 9.0
o - Layer upon layer upon layer of imaginative, innovative gameplay, perfectly suited music and high art.

AS much as I'd like to break out the streamers and throw some confetti, this is a Play review. That's like the Pope endorsing Christianity.

However, I still have high hopes!

 

[Mrbob]

Awesome. MS is dumb for letting this one go. Whether it sells great or not it is always good to have a solid franchise in your porftfolio. Hope this turns out well for Double Fine/Majesco. I know I'm getting my copy April 19!

 

[disabledHeliocentric]

If Play didn't give this a perfect 10 I'm worried. :lol
They loved Blinx.
I dig Play, still. I am a glutton.

 

[funcojoe]

Edited with the high profile games review scores.

 

[Prince of Space]

I came in expecting to care; I leave disappointed.

 

[Kon Tiki]

What region is Play?

[Culex]

What region is Play?

Located near a hairy butt or two.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Damn. The guaminese always get cool shit.

Psychonauts: as good as Hermie Hopperhead!

I kid, I kid.

 

[op_ivy]

i like play, but there reviews are anything but trustworthy, especially with platformers...

the game has amazing style and presentation, and i'll likely buy it based off of that, but i'm not sold from the gameplay videos i have seen...

 

[funcojoe]

Just based off the screens I've seen of the enviorments I'm def gonan pick it up, I'm a sucker for the twisted look.

 

[op_ivy]

unreal champ a 6.5? ouch... why?

 

[fse]

I don't truse PLAY. They love platformers, and are biased .

SWEET! Two great action games coming right up. God of War is shaping up to be GOTY.

I'm guessing it's the cover story, too?

indeed it is.

If Sega made it, with a bonus Sonic sighting, this is how Play would score it. Jafar voice *One the scale of 1-10, you, are an 11*


He made Grim Fandango, one of the greatest games ever made. I will check this out

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

God bless Dave Halverson.


Psychonauts is going to rock, people. 9+ reviews all around.

 

[pj]

I'd like to know the nature of that spoiler related flaw in the game..

Unreal Championship 2 - 6.5

UNACCEPTABLE!!

I wonder what people would have thought if they played Psychonauts a year ago :eek

 

[Shard]

Probably thew same thing they are thinking now.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I wonder what people would have thought if they played Psychonauts a year ago :eek

It doesn't matter because some people around here are still talking about your impressions from a year ago and that's what they believe the game plays like now. Of course those are the same people that have a permanant stick up their ass, so I guess it's not that big of a deal.

UNACCEPTABLE!!

So do you change your impressions from when it was cancelled by MS.

 

[element]

well from all the people I've talked to that have played it, say it is very fun and turned out well.

which doesn't shock me. the game need more time and more money. I always wanted the game to be great.

Me too. I didn't want this to be the one bad Tim Schafer game.

Ever since I bought Dr. Muto based on Play's glowing review I've come to realize that Play is one of the worst, most unprofessional mags out there.

They're supposed to agree with every single mag out there? Eat it.
