| triplebph said: Ninja Gaiden 2 didn't meet expectations. It only had a Metacritic score of 81. The first ones on the original XBOX were over 90%, the PS3 remake of the originals on the still scored 7 points higher than Ninja Gaiden 2. For Ninja Gaiden 2 to meet expectations, it would have had to have scored over a 90 and had a higher metacritic score than Sigma and it did neither. Lost Odyssey was called a Final Fantasy Killer on several forums. Did it come anywhere near getting Final Fantasy review scores? No. It failed to meet expectations. Same with Tales of Vesperia. People predicting that it would be the greatest Tales game ever. It fell a few points short of that goal and still no Tales game has ever gotten above an 8.5 at IGN. Resistance 2 is meeting expectations better than any of those 360 games that we mentioned. It still has a higher score than the first game in its series. Fable 2's score, like Lost Odyssey and Tales score, is also lower than most games in the Final Fantasy series Gears 2 was supposed to be the greatest game of all time, yet its Game Ranking's score is lower than those of both Little Big Planet and Bioshock PS3. Since Banjo is a Rare game, I felt it had a chance of giving the 360 some footing in Others if it came in with Little Big Planet size review scores but early reviews indicate that it is not going to be able to do that. |
Anyone that calls ninja gaiden sigma(a visually polished port of xbox NG Black) a better game than ninja gaiden 2 has never played either.
One can sit there and look at reviews or play games. Seems like you do the first way more...
