Did you notice what they critizise is the game itself? Too short, not enough boss battles, few enemys, lack of secrets - the game lacks exactly what makes a good game for me. It is like the Twilight Princess discussion: It is bigger, prettier, more epic but what it lacks (compared to previous Zelda games) is content. This whole graphic craziness is exactly the reason why I liked GTA Vice City but didn´t like San Andres. Mario Sunshine looked better than Mario 64, still Mario 64 was a better game. And take a deep breath: For me, Halo is a better game than Halo 2 (single player-wise). Just everyone compares their graphics and says: "Hey Halo 2 looks better, Master Chiefs right arm looks prettier than in the first game, so Halo 2 has to be better!" I´m really getting crazy about those graphic junkies all around the world. (And believe me, this counts for every console - Mario Galaxy can look as good as the best looking PS3 game, if it isn´t fun I´ll be the first to call it rubbish.) I´m pretty sure Heavenly Sword is a good game. I´m sure it´s content deserves at least 8/10. I just want people to TALK about it. Why do they have to say "Heavenly Swords looks great!", why can´t they say "Heavenly Sword plays great!"? Why can´t Sony say that? I´m sure it does. How do the developers feel when they hear Sony talking about the games graphics? I´m sure they put more than just graphics into it. Every game contains a little bit of the developers heart-blood. I´m sure they want people to talk about the game, not about it´s graphics. (This wasn´t a comment to this review only. It describes a trend I noticed during the last five years, and it was the trend why I nearly quit gaming. It doesn´t refer to a single console. I think the game is good. But I´m not interested in it´s graphics. I want to play the game, not it´s visuals.) |
I agree with everything in this post.. except for the opinions of certain games, given i haven't played all of those listed in the post
