a PSP port game gets a 7 from you? I played the PSP version, I wouldn't give anything over 4 on that.

There's more to a game than graphics. Sure, the graphics sucked but there were some pretty cool ideas in the game. As a game developer, I can respect and appreciate that. Sometimes you have to look deep into a game to see why they released it. If you stop at the surface level, you might miss some really good ideas.

 

 

You should try Alone in the Dark for 360. the game had great ideas but horrible execution. I liked it for the same reason you listed above...

 

if you liked Alien Syndrome for "having good ideas". then Alone in the Dark will be your GoTY.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

here is what is fun, go to a gene splicer, save your game just before then run the program, save your game again but in a different spot, then load the first save but extract the second save character.....then repeat and watch your character max out

The controls are much better than the PSP version and maybe--hang on to your seat because this will probably sound crazy to someone such as yourself--you should actually play it before condeming it out of hand? I know it's not a popular concept, but you might want to take a shot at it.

KIngofwale thinks that any game that comes on the Wii is the worst game ever, so it's not exactly surprising for him to A - be in a nintendo game discussion posting unfounded negativity and B - for him to refuse to believe that the game could be better on the Wii

The game is way under rated. The graphics do suck, but the controls are really tight once you play for a few minutes.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
