Nice Exit score

 

[muphins]

Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2/GC/Xbox, Sega): 8 / 7 / 8 / 8 - (31/40)

Bruhhhhh?!

 

[etiolate]

Shadow > King Kong?

Wuh?

 

[dark10x]

Two big ones...

Tales of the Abyss (PS2, Namco): 9 / 9 / 9 / 9 - (36/40)
Exit (PSP, Taito): 8 / 9 / 8 / 9 - (34/40)

Very nice

Disappointed in the Irregular Hunter X score, but I'd like to see WHY it received it (is there something wrong with it...or is it simply due to the fact that it's a remake?)

That Shadow score seems insane, though. I still haven't played it myself, but it sounds terrible in every way.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Holy Shit@Tales of the Abyss

:O

 

[Ceb]

Tales of > FFIV? Does not compute.

Nice score for Exit. Slightly disappointing scores for MHX and Karakuri. Boo @ King Kong's score.

 

[HooDoo]

I thought we would see Bleach GC in this issue since we didn't see it before (or did I miss it ?).

There is absolutely no hype around this game, I don't want to spend 60€ on a shitty game even if it's Bleach. :]

 

[Bebpo]

Bruhhhhh?!

People just need to realize that Famitsu makes sense only if you look at it on a more broad scale.

Below 32 = Famitsu thinks its crap
32-34 = Famitsu thinks its ok to good
35 or Above = Famitsu thinks its great

 

[Kiriku]

Wow, that's a crazy low score for King Kong.

 

[Beezy]

Wtf is Tales of the Abyss?

 

[ram]

Shadow the Hedgehog (PS2/GC/Xbox, Sega): 8 / 7 / 8 / 8 - (31/40)

whoa - sega uses moneyhats!!!

 

[Funky Papa]

I am going to write Shadow the Hedgehog's scores on a big stick and beat with it any tard who tries to use Famitsus' scores as the rule to say which game is good and which game is bad.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Wtf is Tales of the Abyss?

Its a "Tales of" game for the PS2 (part of the series that has Tales of Destiny and Tales of Symphonia)

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Uh, something not right..

Chicken Little (PS2/GC, D3): 6 / 7 / 6 / 6 - (25/40)
Chicken Little (PS2/GC, D3): 6 / 7 / 7 / 7 - (27/40)

make up your mind!

Well, yeah I know that much, but this is my first time hearing about it. I haven't seen any screenshots or videos and the game is already out in Japan.

No, the game is not out. It is going to be released next week.

Here, check this out...

Just click "View the promotion movie <500k>" under the little center window. I think it looks rather lovely in motion (not so much in shots). I really hope it runs at 60 fps this time (like Symphonia).

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Woah!

Best 'tales of' score ever
ToS had 34, the others 33 or 32....

I wonder if they did this one right....specially interesting story and characters. Anticipation up!

 

[Izzy]

Exit (PSP, Taito): 8 / 9 / 8 / 9 - (34/40)


Excellent score for Exit - could it be a sleeper hit? Nah, such games just don't sell. Import for me, though.

 

[Remedy]

probs famitsu wants to continue its superior support from game developers, so i imagine they dont wanna piss them off.

 

[Matix]

Tales of the Abyss (PS2, Namco): 9 / 9 / 9 / 9 - (36/40)

The hits just don't stop coming !!

Whoa.. wait...

Irregular Hunter X (PSP, Capcom): 7 / 7 / 7 / 6 - (27/40)

WTF... ?!

Dengeki PS2

More Dengeki scores:

Ryu ga Gotoku (PS2, Sega): 85 / 85 / 90 / 75
Rogue Galaxy (PS2, Sony): 85 / 80 / 95 / 85
Metal Gear Acid 2 (PS2, Konami): 95 / 80 / 95 / 85
Monster Farm 5: Circus Caravan (PS2, Tecmo): 80 / 70 / 65 / 75

 

[Xiaoki]

That 31 score for Shadow is right up there with Famitsu's 31 score for Pokemon Dash and their 30 score for Enter the Matrix.

For some reason Famitsu just loves the worst games ever made.

 

[Sagitario]

Go Team Symphonia ...

Namco better bring this game here >__< [Legendia will be my first PS2 game when I get the console]...

 

[ziran]

really good score for exit.

 

[Apenheul]

I don't really get the score for Irregular Hunter X either. There's still another Mega man Collection coming for GameCube right?

 

[monchi-kun]

Exit PSP...w00t!!!!

 

[AyuFanatic86]

I liked King Kong. So I don't understand the rating
