The only question is how much more. 1up has already said: "Tired retread of the Mario series. It appears Nintendo has run out of new ideas." I made that 1up qoute up. |
what did 1up say this about? nsmb or smg?
its comments like this that really confuse me. take the gta's for example, correct me if im wrong but didnt all 3 of the ps2 games get very high marks all round. the second 2 were basically 'tired retreads' of gta3. as great as halo 3 is, that to is deep down just more of the same. im not saying that these games are overrated, im just saying that reviews these days seem very inconsistent.
in away i feel sorry for nintendo. they're dammed if they do and dammed if they dont. when they try something a bit different like mario sunshine it gets harsh press and if they dont they are criticised all the same. just recently the 1up review of zelda ds stated: 'this series is really beginning to wear itself out by using the same old conventions and game mechanics'.
metroid prime 3 (which im yet to play) has some of the weirdest reviews ive ever read. 9.5 from ign and 7 from edge. edge went as far to say that the controls are spot on and very new and innovating yet they gave it a 7 cos the first couple of hours are to action packed and not atmospheric enough. wtf? when did video games stop being about gameplay??
i hope smg doesnt suffer the same fate.
