Puyo Pop Fever 5/10

you gotta be fucking kidding me.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

you gotta be fucking kidding me.

It's getting pretty bad scores everywhere. I think it's a bit harsh, but truth be told it's nothing really new.

 

[Deku Tree]

What was their beef with Star Ocean 3?

 

[AirBrian]

Rainbow Six (GC) 7/10

Huh, so it's pretty decent on GC?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

What was their beef with Star Ocean 3?

Great story. Flawed battle system...targeting trouble, inability to attack downed foes, really bad team AI. Say that Valkyrie Profile remains this teams high point. The second opinion gives further props to the good story but says the battle system feels like it has a lot of holes.

Wow! And thanks. I thought (IIRC) the JPN mags gave SO3 AAA ratings...

"Fever feels like some shareware game you could download for free on a PC."

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Ghost Hunter looks kinda fun to me. What did they say about it?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Ghost Hunter looks kinda fun to me. What did they say about it?

It's quite positive. Overall impression is that it is a lighthearted, extremely well presented horror game for those who don't want tons of gore or psychological frights. Some typical 3rd person shooting action mixed with good puzzles and side-quests.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Alright, i'll have to check it out then.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I apologize, this is the Black Arrow expansion on Xbox. They fault the single-player but say multi is better.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

i'm excited for ghosthunter, too. it's not ghostbusters or a real 'scary' take on ghosts, but it should be a fun romp.

 

[sprsk]

"Fever feels like some shareware game you could download for free on a PC."

UGH.

 

[belgurdo]

And we stand idly by as the credibility of GMR slips away like a breeze

OK, thanks for the clarification.

 

[B E N K E]

Ghosthunter is mediocre.

Madden NFL 2005 9/10

NCAA Football 8/10

*thumbs up*

Although I would have given NCAA a 7.

 

[Hemmdog]

So is 5 average in GMR? And if so, then only 2 games were below average?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

The only review that deeply effected me was Crimson Tears. I try not to look at it on the store shelf and now they've drawn my attention back

I will not believe...I will not believe...

 

[clipunderground]

Where's Pikmin 2?

Some of the levels in GH are actually quite creepy. Especially that little girl with the teddybear.
Oh, and the graphics are still some of the best on PS2...

I will not believe...I will not believe...

I hear ya, man.

I was interested in Crimson Tears when it was first announced, but after the negative buzz from some people on GAF, I talked myself out of buying it. Then I got the latest GMR in the mail and saw that Milky (whose scores tend to coincide with my taste in games) gave it an 8. Now I'm sorely tempted to pick it up after all...

 

[Littleberu]

What did they say about San Andreas? It was a cover story right?

belgurdo, on the passing of a friendly japanese games developer last month:

blessing or curse?

SC: Pandora Tomorrow (GC) 7/10

Over generous...

And what does one have to do with the other?

 

[pcostabel]

Crimson Tears 8/10 (wow!)


Yess! GMR gives me hope!

Well, they gave Spiderman 2 8/10 so I don't know what to make of their opinion

 

[Prine]

Spidy 2 rocked!

 

[Agent Dormer]

Spider-Man 2 is a fun game. Don't be hating!

 

[ferricide]

given that you can easily download plenty of remarkably decent puzzle games with similar presentation to PPF on the web these days, i don't see what's so inaccurate about that statement.

 

[jarrod]

Er, from the videos I've seen Puyo Fever looks far more advanced than the usual download web puzzler. Don't great visuals, a new gameplay dynamic and budget pricing count for anything? At the least, is really a below average puzzle game?

five is average.

i haven't really played PPF, and didn't review it, mind you. i also couldn't give a fuck about puyo puyo, but i think the last time i liked it much at all was on genesis.
