Forums - Microsoft - IGN Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolls Review...

People are still saying AAA = 90%, AA = 80%, A= 70%... That doesn't make sense...

You're making the mistake of applying logic to how video games are scored. =P

Nice thread title, LOL.

Great score for Banjo as well. For $40 this game is a great deal.

 

You mean 60€.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Damn, I forgot Mario

Please turn in your gaming licence.

Indeed, that was quite a poor display, although.. we'll let him off.. he was able to remember every platformer on the ps3.. creating the mental block for anything not on ps3 would be quite challenging on the mind, and i commend him for it

 



just to point out the 8.5 for Graphics, a few people got at me for saying Banjo's graphics didn't deserve a 10/10. (which it got from nzgamer)

anyway, 8.3 is a little lower then what I thought IGN was gonna give, my guess would have been 8.7. Oh well, I'll find a way to keep going.

Haha. Thanks.

Wow, this game really exceeded the abysmal expectations. It looks like it will remain what it always was. The second best platformer around.

 

Abysmal expectations? I thought we were expecting another AAA Banjo? The review is extremely dissapointing IMO.


Also, can you in all honesty say that Banjo is the second best platformer series?

Great score, some may disagree, but that's the buisiness of reviews. For $40, I will be picking this up for sure, sales should be strong hopefully!



OMG THEY GAVE THE GAME A FAIR RATING AS OPPOSED TO A 10 BECAUSE I THINK IT DESERVES ONE.

BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT.



MY bolls hurt! Just kidding. resistence is looking like its taking a beating too on reviews compared to the first Iam just disapointed no coop campaign. Still I'll check out this game rental.

Excellent. I might end up buying this afterall.

I thought reviews didn't matter...

Did the IGN score just influence whether you were going to buy this or not?

 

Reviews don't matter in terms of quality. They are no indication.

However, the written review is what I was referring to. Go back and read my "reviews don't matter" topic.

I don't trust websites, or numbers, but I do read the text and determine for myself if a game is worth a purchase.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

These abysmal expectations?
