This may be a odd sounding question, but do you guys have a desktop sized version of the picture you used for the news-bar to this article? I thought it was really interesting looking for a desktop picture. Thanks
a lack of Mod Support blows, but the fact that the hackers/pirates of games hurt PC sales and this is just another step for them to protect their paycheck. Granted, the 360 sales of it in the UK more than made up for it, lol.
They'll add dedicated servers in a couple months, but it'll be too little, too late.
Lol this is like the Ninja Warrior of video games. If you have a few friends who play with you, you'll constantly be trying to battle each others track times and trying to squeeze that extra .100 out with perfection. It's so simple, so unique, and so addictive.
I'm usually against repackaging old titles like this and re-releasing them with some gimmick to make it "new". In this case, it's the wii waggle controls. But, since there was such a low install base for the GameCube as compared to the Wii, I think this is not only a great steal, but one of the few compilation packs that is a must-buy.
Star Fox 64 is still one of my favorite all-time games. It had fighter ships, it had stuff blowing up, and it had an annoying frog you could slowly watch die and laugh about to your friends.
The lack of maps (at least 8 would be proper) really pull the hamstring of this game. And I felt the matchmaking was off in terms of how people were put together skill-wise. Then again, it might be the lack of people online at the time, who knows.
It wasn't a stab at GR so much as a Stab at whoever hired this guy in the first place. Reviewing games sucks when you have to play something you don't like, but this review came across like an 8 year old with a temper tantrum and a word quota. If GamesRadar wants someone to review crappy games nobody wants to play, I'm their man. Peace
Lmao. You coulda wrote "I don't like it, because I don't." and got the same reaction. Honestly .... ...... .... HONESTLY?!
If the price is at 800 MS Pts for this I'd rate it a 7/10, 6.5 if possible.
The graphical upgrade is something that I wish they had the option to change back to "Classic" mode on the fly like R-Type Dimensions. I don't mind it, but the entire time I wish I had something to look back to for nostalgia's sake. For what it is though, it's cartoony and just right for the feel of the title.
The gameplay is more of a hit and miss. Depending on what your tastes are going into this, you're gonna come out with a couple of feelings. You're gonna find the gameplay shallow and repetitive if you're looking for something more robust, like Castle Crashers. But, if you go into the game with the mindset that it is what it is, you'll enjoy mindless brawling much more.
I can't give this game an unqualified "buy" though, because if you're going to be buying this as a single player experience, you will feel sorely robbed. This game is all about the multiplayer and kicking the crap out of Foot Soldiers as your favorite Turtle with 3 other friends. Talking smack and shooting the shit makes this game more of a fun, light social game than anything else.
If you're still on the fence, it's not the most beautiful woman on the dance floor, and she's old enough to be your mom, but if you give her a chance, she can put out for you and your 3 closest friends to give you a fun prom night to remember. If she has the balls to charge more than 800 pts though, or you have no friends, fuck it.
7/10
There's your review, you can fire this lazy wanker who wrote this crap. He obviously doesn't enjoy his job.
@LawlingLobstaFTW I assume you're being sarcastic, so did you not notice the large "SPOILERS AHEAD" graphic with bold exclamation points at the very beginning of the article?
A whiny fanboy, me? That's a first! I think I explain well enough how the combat and co-op are entertaining enough to make it a solid, fun game, which deserves to be called "great," but that I didn't find it mind-blowingly compelling. lol lets flam war.
"Hmm. Being an Australian gamer, I would have rather you said the Australian Government is backwards, not Australia."
Hyperbole for comedic effect. ;) I also believe that the US is incredibly backwards in many areas. In fact, I think we're full of stupid over here. No offense intended.
Hm, well, I didn't notice any balance issues. I was playing at level one, with the people who made the game, and I still came in second on a couple matches. We will see when we get to play it more comprehensively, for the review (which I'm too much of a fanboy to write).
@Blackout1881: Sort of, but not really. Yes, the basic gameplay is the same - it should be, because it was already good. There are many new strategies and techniques which the additions make possible. Completely changing the gameplay would have been silly.
Ninja-KiLLR: "that was a very funny article. all are very good remarks. but if you were knifed in the back in the lung that would be a kill shot yur not recovering from"
You'd probably die, for sure, but you may have enough in you to turn around and fire a few rounds into your stabber. The amount of damage inflicted by a single stab wouldn't necessarily put you out immediately.
