[MetatronM]

* Guilty Gear Isuka - 9

WRONG

 

[cvxfreak]

Donkey Konga is too low.

 

[SantaC]

wow they do like giving out 9s don't they. happy for PM2 though

 

[Prine]

ooo, might have to pick up OTOGI 2. Depends on GS review

 

[Dyne]

* Katamari Damacy - 8
* Guilty Gear Isuka - 9

This is an outrage.

 

[GaimeGuy]

So the new Guilty Gear is as good as Def Jam, which is as good as sly 2, which is as good as PM2?

Riiiight....

Ok, Sly 2 might deserve a 9, too, but Def JaM and Guilty Gear? :|

 

[Deku Tree]

Nice score for Paper Mario 2.

 

[Wario64]

Guilty Gear Isuka > Fable

 

[Kumiko Nikaido]

WRONG

James Mielke and Giancarlo Varanini reviewed it. They liked the action, freneticism, and it's extra modes. The only fault was the "switch-line" system.

They are still wrong.

 

[clipunderground]

Go paper mario!

 

[ScientificNinja]

* Evil Genius - 6

They have no taste.

 

[Sumidor]

* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus - 5

This makes me sad Why can't they just make a good Ninja Turtles game with 4 people multiplayer!? They should just re-make TMNT: Arcade with the new cel-shaded graphics and 2-3 new levels.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Why is Under the Skin getting bad reviews... I was sort of looking forward to it from E3 videos and stuff but now I'm hedging on getting it.

 

[Wario64]

Egm said Under the Skin was short and repeitive, and that it would have been better if it was sold at $20

 

[Culex]

It's good to see that Paper Mario is scoring well. I wonder if it will be turn out to score higher than the first?

 

[Eric-GCA]

All the impressions indicate that Paper Mario 2 is better than the first one. Nothing "innovative" or "revolutionary", but it improves on what the first one had to offer, which is all I could ask for really.

 

[jecclr2003]

Nice to see Battlefront getting some pretty good ratings. I'm enjoying the hell out of it on Live. Only thing missing is a ranking system.

 

[Bog]

Figured these were posted ages ago. I saw that mag at EB early last week.

The word "frenetic" really needs to be banned from reviews.

 

[brandonnn]

Who gave Choro-Q a 7? I like the cut of their jib.

 

[Sysgen]

So we got over the Fable thing?

Xbox

* Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors - 9

Justice!

Well TMNT: Arcade IS included and supports 4 players, I believe.

 

[Kumiko Nikaido]

Konami couldn't even get that right since TMNT: The Arcade Game which can be unlocked has butchered audio effects. The emulation program was screwed up.

 

[etiolate]

Can someone tell me why Guilty Gear Isuka doesn't deserve a 9? I was looking forward to the game.

And Screw Konami.

 

[Jacobi]

WTF Paper Mario on the Cover ? That's so impossible in Germany. Interesting scores BTW.

 

[djtiesto]

Who reviewed Shadow Hearts and Nocturne? Christian?

 

[BastardSamurai]

Who reviewed Shadow Hearts and Nocturne? Christian?

Yep.

 

[Link316]

This makes me sad Why can't they just make a good Ninja Turtles game with 4 people multiplayer!? They should just re-make TMNT: Arcade with the new cel-shaded graphics and 2-3 new levels.

I just want emulations of Arcade & Turtles in Time +maybe some arrange mode with updated graphics, I would gladly pay $40 for something like that

 

[Musashi Wins!]

who did the Monster Hunter review? Can't help but be curious about the game. GMR is wildly inaccurate at times. I bought Crimson Tears based on their review. Yech.

This is a pretty striking disparity to me. 12 PS2 exclusives to 1 Xbox. Looking at release lists for the rest of the year, the PS2 seems to have a SIGNIFICANT number or exclusives relative to the XBox.

Well, to be totally fair Xbox is also getting Isuka later this year (with added Live play).

 

[WarPig]

Only in Japan so far.

Isuka is not that good. But I would give the soundtrack alone a bazillion points out of ten.
