His reviewing record.

 

[evilromero]

Haha. Driv3r. Well, to each his own. Who am I to argue?

 

[Solid]

Starfox rocks, and so does Halo 2! WEE!

 

[6.8]

He gave Wario Ware a B+. His opinion is worthless.

 

[Lakitu]

StarFox Adventures is amazing bitches, and so is Halo 2 (one of the best games this gen)

 

[Bluemercury]

Seems like only the more reconized gaming press is giving good scores to the big games, do i smell pay offs..... :lol

 

[Code_Link]

He gave Wario Ware a B+. His opinion is worthless.

Yes, it should've been A.

 

[evilromero]

Yes, it should've been A.

That's what he was saying.

 

[Sysgen]

He can think what he wants but his review reads more like a forum post than a review.

 

[Matlock]

Lament of Innocence = B
Halo = B-

:lol

 

[OniShiro]

Jak II = A
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles = A

That guy must be on hard drugs.

 

[Vallarfax]

Jak II = A
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles = A

That guy must be on hard drugs.

I think Crystal Chronicles fully deserved that A. I also enjoyed Jak II.

 

[TheDuce22]

I thought HALO was worthy only over 16-player deathmatch, other than that, the first game was mediocre at best. The one-player campaign was a travesty to games that have a story mode, saved only slightly by the co-operative area that managed to make it tolerable.

Secondly, the multiplayer was a slow, boring affair unless you had enough people to spice things up, get the vehicles used, and get into massive gun battles. The problem was that the slow footed Master Chief and limited weapon selection quickly made this repetitive unless you could manage to get a ton of friends together – even then, Blood Gulch and Battle Creek were what it was about – CTF all the way.

He didnt like the first one, he made that clear. Why would he like this one?

 

[Prine]

His history says it all really.

anti xbox through and through

 

[OniShiro]

I think Crystal Chronicles fully deserved that A. I also enjoyed Jak II.

Don't get me wrong, I like both games, and had fun playing them, but I think they had too many flaws too deserve an A, they should have gotten a B, or B+ being generous.

 

[Redbeard]

A D in Gameplay?

 

[puck1337]

How did Crystal Chronicles get an A with its boring single player play?

 

[MrAngryFace]

Youd think XDude trolls would try harder to at least appear objective.

D in gameplay. Why isnt he fired?

 

[Redbeard]

This one could be written by some Halo hater from the IGN Cube boards.

To paraphrase the review: "Halo sucks, it's just a dumb FPS where you shoot stuff. Oh and Halo 2 also sucks."

 

[Prine]

i know, gamerankings should really filter their library of websites. Only allow up to 30 credible sites and gain an average through them.

I could easily setup a website, and start sabotaging game scores. Especially annoying when fanboy sites contribute to the overall score, sites that are not worth anyones time (CineScape for example)

 

[Cold Shadow]

From the maybe 15 people that posted here, I think that about 13 people actually read the the review. It IS HIS opinion and Halo 2 Is overhyped.

I thought they did that already... only the bolded sites are used for the AVG...

 

[MrAngryFace]

Sometimes an opinion can be stupid. I refuse to defend the opinion of someone who gives Halo 2's gameplay a D.

You're right. It is his opinion. But saying Halo 2 is overhyped is like saying the sky is too blue. Boo-fuckin-hoo.

It's not blue enough! Shit, it's practically white on a clear sunny day! I demand a DARK BLUE!

 

[Agent X]

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal > Halo 2 on Game Rankings (as of the moment of this writing).

TESTIFY!

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Nobody cares enough about R&C to review it. *oh snap*

 

[MetatronM]

After YEARS of online forum experience, somebody finally has the balls to say that an opinion can be WRONG. Thank you, MAF, for once again leading us to a better tomorrow.

I still want to know what everyone was expecting from Halo 2. Were they expecting Jesus to appear on screen and open the Gates of Heaven before them?

I mean, WTF? It's just Halo 1 with a bunch of improvements and a crappy ending. Aside from a better ending, what the hell else could people POSSIBLY expected from this?


...


Aside from online co-op. Bungie never promised online co-op. That was your own damn fantasy, so shut up about it already.

 

[Ramirez]

Why do people even bother?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Crap review. And I wanna crap on that reviewer.

 

[Kanbee-san]

I wonder if there will be so many trolls giving out bad scores for HL2 or MP2 ?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

one of the worst things about the internet is

"You can't say my opinion is wrong, cause its my opinion"

Bad logic. Serial killers have opinions that are wrong, for instance.

Morally, not factually.

 

[Andy787]

This man is very intelligent.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

exactly. Ragging on H2 is morally wrong.

Factually, it's sweetness in a box.

 

[Mrbob]

Ahh yes you gotta love reviews in which the reviewer claims he could have made a better game himself. :lol

 

[Sho Nuff]

BUNGIE, HIRE THIS REVIEWER!!!

 

[Tellaerin]

Bots.

(Hey, you did ask.)

Honestly, I'm more than satisfied with the game as-is--the campaign's replayable enough to give it legs, even without any kind of bot support for multiplayer. Bots (and online co-op) are still on my wishlist for Halo 3, though.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Outside of GA's Ninja Gaiden review, that's got to be one of the shittiest reviews I've ever read.

Gameplay: D


Seriously, WTF? It's like they hobbled together some asinine Halo rant off of the IGNCube boards. Halo 2 isn't perfect but it isn't even close to being as bad as this person is letting on. Hell, IMO Halo 2 is one of the best games to have come out this year on any platform.

Clearly this guy has a fucking agenda.

 

[shpankey]

lol, that review read like an IGN forum post on the GCGB, no doubt where they probably yanked it from :lol

edit: whooaaaa.... read post above mine ^^^ and realized i'm not the only one who noticed that heh.
