(off-topic: ty vroenis ^_^. It's nice to see others trying out FMP. If you really enjoy it the 2nd dvd is already out and the 3rd one comes out in a few days.)
Post by: vroenis on August 31, 2003, 08:25:57 AM
one adavantage (sort-of) i suppose is that release dates get spread out - easier to manage financially.
(not in australia bill! but i am going to get them as soon as they come out. i think the second one is due in a couple of weeks. i have the entire series on divx but am faithfully purchasing now that it's out in region 4.)

That's pretty funny considering Kirby's Air Ride got a higher score from Famitsu than F-Zero GX did...I really don't mind someone giving their opinion if they've actually played the game before...
Post by: KDR_11k on September 01, 2003, 07:15:25 AM
PIAC: Just to hype you up, Lucas Arts announced Sam & Max: Freelance Police for Spring 2004
Post by: Hostile Creation on September 01, 2003, 12:08:43 PM
Kirby Air Ride
MK: DD
Killer 7
Maybe Prince of Persia, if Killer 7 gets low scores.
EGM gave PN 03 a very low score (primarily fours and threes, I think). I'd reconsider it Mario, because though I don't trust EGM at all, it's pretty easy to say what a sucky game is.
Already got F-Zero. It is fun.

And so what if you've played Kirby and didnt like it, doesnt mean everyone else wont like it. I really like Luigis Mansion, despite some people calling it crap. I still bought it and it turns out that i love it. Oh well.

I'll let you know if I like it or not, how about?
Mario: I've only read the EGM article for P.N. 03, which made me decide not to get it. Only reason it did that, though, was because it was only a vauge possibility anyway, and I was having trouble deciding whether to get it or not. But whatever, it very well could be good.

Y'know, I honestly think that the developers that made Halo included some sort of eye-drug (eye nicotine, if you will) that directly affects your brain and subconsciously compels you to play it more. It is a good game, and it's fun and all, but it is far from being the best game ever, and I hardly think it's even worth buying a system for. However, despite realizing this, I'm still inclined to play it as often as I can. So that's it. They have eye-drugs in Halo.
Post by: KDR_11k on September 06, 2003, 08:34:28 AM
[/edit]Well, just finished it. Clocked 4 hours-something on easy difficulty. Remember, that's really easy, so you'll finish all levels on first try (as opposed to 5-10th) and often without losing a life. Once you finish you can start over with all your stuff but no points. So be sure to shop a lot before ending the game. Don't worry, your boss will tell you when you reach the last mission.
I finally found the story! It started in level 9 and the game ended a few missions later. They could have spread out the story a bit and go into more detail easily. The story turns were about 70% what I expected, but they give the whole thing a nice atmosphere not unlike what you feel at the end of "The Cube". Yes, I refer to that movie pretty often because it had the most atmosphere I ever saw in a movie.
The environments really don't get that repetitive. They of course repeat when you are in the same location and some room styles get reused (very few and always with different enemy spawns). Most levels have distinctive designs, though and the only similarity throughout the game is the color style. Mostly grey, sometimes a little brown in between, but all in all this just seems to serve the atmosphere.
What I didn't like was how easily bosses get killed with your specials. Heck, even the last one needed no more than 4 super attacks (though those 4 were all my energy could deliver). I hope this changes with the higher difficulties.
Also I think the game should keep track of highscores, not just give you a rank at the end of the game.

Anyway, here's my little list for the rest of 2003. And I do mean little.
Definate GCN games:
Viewtiful Joe
Metal Gear Solid:TTS
Mario Kart Double Dash!!
Maybe GCN Games
True Crime:Streets of LA
Prince of Persia:Sands of Time
XIII
Definate GBA games
Final Fantasy Tatics Advance
Sword of Mana
Super Mario Advance 4:Super Mario Bros. 3 (Damn Nintendo for making me buy this game again! And they know I will!)
Maybe GBA Games
Sonic Advance 2 (Yeah yeah, I've been holding out on this one)
Mario and Luigi (Still 2003 bound?)
There you have it. Now to squeeze in some F-Zero and SC2...
Post by: dmhawkmoon on September 06, 2003, 09:38:23 PM
So yeah, too many games to buy. The gaming industry loves to take all my money. It's funny, too, because 99% of new games I have NO interest in, but when they release 10 games a week, 1% still translates into a ton!
