Mario Golf: Advance Tour (GBA, Nintendo): 6

:'(
:'(
:'(

Someone know what they said about it?

 

[Defensor]

Syphon Filter: Omega Strain (PS2, Sony): 3

:/

LOL

 

[olimario]

Pikmin 2 (GC, Nintendo): 8

Oo-Rah!

 

[cja]

They gave the original Pikmin 7/10 for reference.

 

[Mashing]

How does an euro publication get a Pikmin review before us publications, especially considering the US gets the game first right?

 

[8bit]

They probably reviewed the Jp release.

 

[cja]

Yep, they always review Japanese and US imports.

 

[RiotPelaaja]

Pretty rightful score for Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain. What the hell happened with that game?

 

[Culex]

X Play loved Syphon Filter OS. I wonder what Edge disliked about it.

 

[bobbyconover]

Mario Golf: Advance Tour (GBA, Nintendo): 6

What the SHIT. This game is so GOTY (other than Katamari Damacy and about 5-10 other GOTYs) it's not even funny.

 

[8bit]

They might be a bit pissed that Advance Tour might be released before Mario Golf makes it's debut in Euroland.

 

[Lyte Edge]

WTF? A score of 5 for Samurai Warriors? 6 for Mario Golf? Even Syphon Filter wasn't THAT bad (not great, either, but not bad).

 

[adrockthekid]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but do these guys even like games?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

They might be a bit pissed that Advance Tour might be released before Mario Golf makes it's debut in Euroland.

They shouldn't be since it was mediocre and Advance Tour looks to be as good as Mario Golf on GBC which ruled. Eh.

I'm not sure what to make of Syphon Filter. It seems like an arcade shooter in some ways, with wacky controls and mission elements. The unlockables and score whoring is sort of cool. I haven't tried online yet.

I can't believe Custom Robo got a 5! That's generous by their strange standards.


Pikmin/Full Spectrum ---- Yay!!!

 

[shibbs]

All seem pretty much wait i expected really :X Except Mario Golf.

 

[DarienA]

Van Helsing is better than Syphon Filter?!?!?! Protest!

 

[Agent Dormer]

X Play loved Syphon Filter OS. I wonder what Edge disliked about it.

The fact it was broken?

 

[Soul4ger]

X Play loved Syphon Filter OS. I wonder what Edge disliked about it.

Yes, X-Play is the paragon of fine opinion! Whatever could Edge dislike about it, if it has the X-Play seal of approval?!

 

[Brandon F]

Barring Gerstmann/X-Play/Edge etc...

Syphon Filter is a really damned enjoyable online action game rooted from similar greats of the yesteryear. Rebuilt for great 4-player co-operative matches, it doesn't deserve the joykill pissfest it is earning.

 

[Yossarian]

They shouldn't be since it was mediocre ...

Well, only kinda mad. Mario Golf GC was pretty good imo, but atleast you recognize the goodness that is Mario Golf GBC.

 

[stonedwal]

Didn't they give Toadstool Tour a similar mark? Can't remember. Nothing really surprising amongst the other scores.

 

[cvxfreak]

Crappy score for Onimusha 3.

 

[cja]

WTF? A score of 5 for Samurai Warriors? 6 for Mario Golf? Even Syphon Filter wasn't THAT bad (not great, either, but not bad).

Crappy score for Onimusha 3.

Guys, guys, this is Edge we're talking about here. They've only handed out two nines so far this year (6 issues) to Ninja Gaiden and Zelda: Four Swords. Getting a seven is not a crappy score. I add two to every Edge score to get a US style rating

So yours go up to 11?

 

[belgurdo]

Samurai Warriors in the same echelon as Custom Robo and Van Helsuck? Um, no.

 

[GDJustin]

The Mario Golf score is not exactly what I expected. The game was really really good at E3, and no one has really had anything negative to say about it.

 

[pilonv1]

Nothing to see here. Although its interesting to see La Pucelle get 7 when Disgaea recieved a 9. I'm dying to read the review text for Syphon Filter now.

Yep, they always review Japanese and US imports.

Unless they're heavily story focused (ie Wind Waker).

 

[SD-Ness]

How is Edge compared to a magazine like EGM??

 

[Agent Dormer]

Do you mean like quality or is that supposed to be more of an affront on the magazine?

Not enough pyramid killing and outdated anime humor for their tastes, I guess

 

[cja]

12 silly . If Edge give a nine or ten of course its of more importance than an EGM or Game Informer giving out the same score, it's a scarcer occurance. Compare gamerankings averages with Edge scores to see most of the games that get a 5 or 6 in Edge average 70 to 80 percent in the rest of the gaming press.

 

[pilonv1]

Every month....

Time for the monthly Edge scores* explantation:

0 - Nothing
1 - Disasterous
2 - Appaling
3 - Severly flawed
4 - Disappointing
5 - Average
6 - Competent
7 - Distinguished
8 - Excellent
9 - Astounding
10 - Revolutionary.

* - scores meaningless without text.

I was trying to make a Spinal Tap joke and obviously failed.

 

[MetaKnight]

Egde's rating system is so much better than other magazines. I see too many near-perfect scores on magazines like EGM and Gamepro that it doesn't even mean anything any more.

 

[SD-Ness]

Quality.

I got and appreciated it

 

[Error Macro]

No you didn't fail, I laughed at it!

 

[cja]

Only failed with me because I've never seen it, sorry.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Awww, I feel loved!

 

[Pug]

I see FSW gets the thumbs up from Edge.

 

[Korranator]

Although its interesting to see La Pucelle get 7 when Disgaea recieved a 9.

Probably because Disgaea is the better game.

 

[adrockthekid]

Probably because Disgaea is the better game.

Better, yes, but by two full points?

 

[Agent Dormer]

Yes.
