There's also an article on the Revolution controller. It's the mockup with the big giant touch screen taking up most of it and they say it's most likely what it'll be like.

september already? :lol

and only meh games

 

[olimario]

GamePro has no idea what the controller will be like.
And the Darkwatch score is too high if the demo is indicitive of the final product.

Why does the Cube version of Madden get docked but the PS2 version holds up against the Xbox version? Same with NCAA...

I bought NCAA on the PS2 for the first time time this year, and I'm a little upset at the slowdown and cruddy color in comparison with the Cube versions of past years.

 

[sprsk]

you would think there are no average games comng out except goldeneye

 

[polg]

Another magazine agrees

Meteos: 4.0, 4.0, 3.5, 4.0

I'm guessing lack of online takes away from the fun.

 

[Jumpman Jr.]

GoldenEye Rogue Agent = Killer 7, apparently

 

[ToyMachine228]

GamePro is still around? I sort of look at that magazine as a joke...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Because the Cube version is the only one that isn't online.

 

[Johnas]

So basically every game got a good score except for one?

Something smells funny there.

Probably the online component....

GoldenEye Rogue Agent: 2.5, 3.0, 2.5, 1.5

Wait - is this a 2.5, 3.0 and a 2.5 averaging out to be 1.5? Maybe there's some trick to these GamePro scores that I'm not aware of?

 

[radrelic]

"Fun Factor" scores aren't averages

 

[Wario64]

i forgot what the order is, but they have cateogories that they rate (graphics, sound, controls, fun factor)

the final score is not an average ... bla bla bla

They don't technically use an average. Fun Factor is a standalone score, though it could be considered the most important, or "overall" score, it is not the average of the others.

 

[Zeo]

GamePro sucks HORRIBLY.

And by their rating scale, Kirby and Meteos should be 5.0 games.

And IT WON'T FUCKING HAVE A TOUCH SCREEN HOLY SHIT.

fun factor is what really matters in Gamepro scoring scale, Fun Factor is like gameplay while the others ones are the techinical aspect of the game.

 

[Wario64]

yep, gamepro is pretty shitty. my free subscription is almost over, finally. took about 2-3 years :lol

 

[Ferny84]

GamePro's covers look like Ronald McDonald pukes on them.

 

[BuzzJive]

WELL CRAP.

Thanks to the 10 people that answered my question...


Also - I disagree on the score. Rogue Agent DS at 1.5 is too low. I'd give it a 2.5 or 3.0.

 

[AniHawk]

The magazine has now made it so it goes back and forth between previews and reviews. So very annoying and pointless.

 

[ChrisReid]

That's a freakin lot of 4.0s

 

[Musashi Wins!]

This magazine stinks. Though I wouldn't argue with the Goldeneye score. It stands out in its correctness.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

GamePro's covers look like Ronald McDonald pukes on them.

:lol :lol

 

[dicklaurent]

Yeah. Rogue Agent DS is abysmal.

 

[SKOPE]

GamePro has always been that way. Have to appease the advertisers, after all.

 

[CoolTrick]

Yoshi Topsy Turvy: 4.0, 3.5, 4.5, 4.0

Interesting that GamePro are the only videogame publication to have found this crap fun, especially as fun as Bomberman, Meteos, AND Kirby.
