It got an 8.75 and a 8.5

Concept:Assemble pieces from several RPG's and still end up with something unique.

Graphics:Mixing inventive character models with cel-shading lends a Windwaker-meets-anime kind of feel.

Sound:Though not epic, the soundtrack is pretty mellow and compliments the game's tone.

Playability:The battle controls are a bit awkward at first, but eventually become second-nature.

Entertainment:One of the few great RPG's available for the Cube.

Replay Value:Moderate


Also, an unbelievable 8 page Metroid Prime 2 article.

Great score! Can't wait for July.

 

[u_neek]

Gotta import this - cant wait for the European release..

 

[AssMan]

What about the Zelda pics? Are they new or just the ones we've seen, and are the MP2 pics new? If so, then..............Game Informer=GODS!

 

[Culex]

Nice score. Lower than all the Japanese scores, but that's to be expected.

 

[fennec fox]

Why did they bother reviewing it when the issue will be off the shelves by the time the game actually comes out in July?

 

[Chrono]

What was the Famitsu score for ToS?

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Scan the review + MP 2 article PLEASE.

 

[kiryogi]

34/40

Why did they bother reviewing it when the issue will be off the shelves by the time the game actually comes out in July?

Because reviewing games early is the thing to do!

They just took it to a whole other level. I hope Mielke isn't offended.

more info from adv2k1 @ IGN

New unkown Visor is the: Dark Visor

Similar to Xray scanner in appearance and Farsight from Perfect Dark. You can see Dark creatures and things not in Light World but are in the Dark world when you use it. Talked about in multiplayer can look through Geometry to find people.

One pic is in the mag.

Possiblity of MORE than 4 beams is real

When they asked Retro, they gave a big "knowing smirk" and didn't say a word. Also no word on the Forth beam.

Dual Analog control is still a possiblity

They haven't totally closed the door on the idea, and they are still considering it.

New multi lock Missles are called: Seeker Missiles

Pictures are shown and the missiles will be used for puzzles as well as attacks.

GAMECUBE

Mega Man Collection: 9 and 8.5

With all the doom and gloom I've heard about this, this is reassuring.

"Dual Analog control is still a possiblity"

I would be so happy...

 

[Vibri]

For anyone that missed it, the GB Icons is starting again in 10 mins (6pm).

 

[fennec fox]

With all the doom and gloom I've heard about this, this is reassuring.

I'd say this is because normal, sensible people do not nitpick classic collections nearly as stringently as core folks... which is fine in my book.

 

[AniHawk]

ToS will be mine. Oh yes, it WILL be mine.

 

[ruffles]

That Sonic Advance 3 score (1st) is unfair!

 

[AniHawk]

The multiplayer in MP2E is so damn fun. There's a lot to upgrade with and kill your friends with. It's awesome, and it looks like there's gonna be even more stuff than what I got to experience.

 

[The Main Event]

"Dual Analog control is still a possiblity"

I would be so happy...

I wouldn't but hey, you can't make everyone happy. Pretty good score for ToS, I might check it out.

 

[Sagitario]

"Dual Analog control is still a possiblity"

I would be so happy...

And I would not...
