Adventure 2: Battle was an awful port but the first Sonic Adventure 2 was amazing. Also Sonic trumps ET? Really? Also just about everything Pokémon related from GT always seems devoid of context or passion, hell most of their reviews for Pokémon games feel like they're just given modest scores to avoid fan rage while giving little actual review, so I think Hey You Pikachu gets an unfair shake at this as well.



Pixel Art can be fun.

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Oh, and Donkey Kong Country is an awesome series. The first three are to this day three of the very best platformers ever made. Probably the only platformer I liked more than Donkey Kong Country 2 was Super Mario Galaxy 2.

I know, right?  I mean, great level design, unmatched presentation, tonnes of collectibles, bonus levels, secrets, and the perfect difficulty curve.  I just don't see how anyone can honestly say the DKC games were 'dull' or 'plodding'.  if he didn't care for them, I respect that, but to say they're inferior when they're easily some of the best made platformers of all time is just begging for the flames. 

Levels - 6-8 worlds per game, each with 5-8 levels. 
inventive bosses capping off each and every world
dozens of collectible bananas that also help guide you if you get lost or hint at bonuses.
Bonus levels for completionists, each housing a minigame of sorts
side quests such as the brothers bear item exchange, banana birds, DK coins, etc
Wide variety of level themes and locales
Minigames and trivia stuff through the second and third games
hidden bonus worlds that you can unlock

There's just so much to do, to point out one 'flaw' (I don't like collecting bananas) is just dumb.  Not to mention Donkey Kong has always had more to do than Mario; another game series I've always adored.

I never played DKC 2, but I have played DKC and Returns and I love them. Maybe I should buy it and 3, but I already have enough Super Nintendo titles on hold as it is.

I don't appreciate being called dumb because I don't like a game. That's just a jerky thing to say, especially about something as trivial as an opinion of a piece of entertainment. This isn't politics or anything that really matters. A person's taste in games can't be stupid.

Lots of levels don't matter if I don't find them compelling.
The boss designs were good, but I thought the actual battles where mundane.
Collecting bananas could be, even should, be fun, but I didn't have fun. How would you get lost? Maybe if the levels weren't so flat.
I'm not a completionist, I don't even look at percentages.
The only games I actively do side quests in are the Mass Effect and Zelda games.
Yep, good variety in themes, but to me the levels feel mostly the same.
I NEVER do mini-games unless forced and then I hate the devs for making me do them.
Hidden bonus stuff is always nice, but if I didn't enjoy the main game I'm not going to want more, am I?

Oh and I'm not the only one who thinks DK Country is overrated. It made two respected publication's lists of most overrated games of all time.

EGM: DK Country #2 on list of "10 Most Overrated Games"

Gamespy: DK Country #9 on list of  "25 Most Overrated Games of all Time"

Are they "dumb" too, or maybe it's just that not everything you love is universally as exclaimed as you think it should be. You may love DK Country and think it's better than some other platformers. But, please consider that not everyone agrees with you and their opinion is just as valid as yours. It is, after all, a matter of taste. I love Donkey Kong arcade, you don't. You love DK Country, I don't. Why am I "dumb" for dissliking your "classic". I don't think you are dumb for disslikeing my "classic".

Wii Music was so hyped since it was right in the middle of the Wii's peak in popularity. Everyone thought it was going to be the pinnacle of motion controls, being able to play music the way you actually play the instruments in real life.

I bought into it as well......WOW, damn it must have been the worst game I played that cost over 40 dollars. Really mislead the public as to what it could do...


Wait, didn't you see any videos from the E3 presentation that year? It was absolutely ridiculous.

this, if you bought into Wii Music you deserve your money to be taken

It was more that I bought into potential of Wii in general.  But yes, I did deserve for my money to be taken.  I quickly realized that I was had when I went to see how much gamestop would give me back for it and they were like 2 bucks man.  That being said,  Wii Sports resort was great.  The disconnect in functionality between two Wii Series games left me at a loss...


To be fair, i bought into it aswell, not Wii music, f**k no, i knew that would be crap. But the Wii in general. it fell apart for me a week after playing WiiSports and i realized how inaccurate and just generally half assed the tech behind it was, i wish it would have lived up to its potential, but what the hell

I think it's funny how videogame nerds don't understand the Just Dance phenomena.

The game is the ultimate party game, people drink, dance with girls and have fun; and then buy their own copy, have parties of their own with the game, and spread the word.


they get it, they just dont care about it.  I think its stupid for me to pay 40-50 dollars for a game that i will probably use 2 times out of the year. Not when there are literally hundreds of games that i could buy that will get much more use.  

And FYI before you lose your ish, i like that that series sells, it just funds games for the publisher that I actually WANT to play, IE Assassin's Creed
