:lol
Saint Seiya fared even worse with the real scores. After 16 years of wait, nothing will stop me from getting it.

 

[ki/oon]

Wow, I was expecting slightly better scores for Saint Seiya...
I hope it's not that sucky

No new GBA games in Japan. And there won´t be in the next few weeks. That´s strange.

Nevermind

Maybe someone can explain how the GC version of Pandora Tomorrow scored HIGHER than the PS2 version!

better graphics?

I think it's Xbox, not GC
There's no GC release in Japan.

You are right! It said Splinter Cell Pandora's Tomorrow Hako, and for some UNKNOWN reason the first thing I thought of was the Cube, since it looks exactly like my concept of a box. LOL!

Backyard Wrestling 2 actually received that high a score?? I remember my brother rented the first one for some godforsaken reason... that would have to be one of the worst games I've ever played.

Makes me wonder, though... does nearly every Western game come out in Japan?

This generation, I make it a point to completely ignore magazine scores.

I'll probably try out Saint Seiya and like it enough to warrant a purchase. Like The Dragon Ball games, Astro Boy and Lupin III for PS2, it really helps if you're really into the TV show.

Things were a lot better in the PS days, but PS2 has been shite for Western games coming to Japan. EA, UBI, and Eidos bring a few games here, but Capcom have even published some of Sony's titles here. It's that bad!

A 23/40 from famitsu is pretty bad. I dont agree with some of their higher-rated title scores, but when they score a game this bad, it usually is pretty bad.

They are just getting Pandora's Tomorrow NOW? X_x
