That's why this game won't sell.

Sim City disagrees with you.

The two conflicting listings.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I've been thinking; VGC should really set up a Trac bug filing report or something like that. We would then have an easy place to put misplaced games, wrong developers/names/boxarts, etc.

I mean, it's not a huge deal, but it would allow us to have a centralized place to put bugs in the database. It also allows classification by group, so (for example), we could put all games that don't have EU/Others data into the group as they are submitted, and people could see potential problems with the games they are looking up.



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

Blastworks flop because it's overpriced, graphically the game could have been possible on wiiware its a great game don't get me wrong but at $40 dollars it's a ripoff.

 

 

Only a fool would call a game with endless downloadable content, multiplayer, unlockables, and a full game editor with nearly limitless customization options a rip-off at $40. Don't be a graphics whore--you'll get more enjoyment out of gaming.

 

 I got this game and its amazing Value the 4 Kento Cho games would probally sell for between 500-1000 points a piece on Wii Ware, And the Editor is fantastic there is already loads of great stuff on Blastworksdepo to download and more is added everyday by users.

So, why are there high hopes for Little Big Planet?

I got Blast Works for around $15 new at Circuit City, as part of their clearance.  I am having a lot of fun with it.  The way you power up, which is like Katamari makes me chuckle.  GREAT fun for the price.

It's a SHMUP. What were you expecting? It's about as niche as a genre can be. Blastworks reaching 500K would be the equivalent of Mario Kart Wii reaching 25 million.

So you are expecting Blastworks to reach 500k then, because MKWii is in fact likely to sell 25 million.
