Re: Review: Metroid (Virtual Console / NES)

SeniorDingDong

I had a bad start with the game,around 2002, and I would have given it a similar score.

But, after giving it a fair try again in 2009 and forgeting about all the gaming comforts I used to like after 1986 I truly began to love this game.

I finished it several times, without maps or anything, collected 100% of the items once and even did a decent casual speed run (both bosses) on it.

For modern players this game is very flawed. From a NES perspective it should get a 9/10.

Wi-Fi duels and campaign co-op, wii-speak pilot chat (one reason to buy the damn thing) and motion+ controlls (+nunchuck?) like in WSR... and unlockable Krystal pin-up posters please ^^

Best gamer ever.

Re: Wii Version of Madden NFL 10 Selling Poorly

Sports games dont have it easy on the Wii, because you will miss the almost realistic HD quality these games can show on the PS3 / 360 and their much better online modes.

The only way a sports game can be better on the Wii is the way how they are using the remote and WM+. Grand Slam Tennis might look cartoony, but it plays, controlls and sounds great and comes with one of the best online modes on the Wii (not that does mean much).

Tiger Woods 10 Wii got high reviews all around and combined "normal", serious graphics with the possibly best sport controlls ever.

And Madden ? I dont know the typicly Madden player, but I ask myself if they can get well with these even more cartoony graphics then in GST and eased down gameplay mechanics.

The next "lets get different on Wii" test by EA is going to be ,the very important in europe, FIFA 10. Lets see how that one will sell.....

Re: Corruption Saves Incompatible with Metroid Trilogy

@ Pixelman : I know what you mean about MP3. Bryyo is visually horribly boring, aswell as most of the land in MP2...

But keep playing: every planet beyond the frist looks great and also changes the "primary" colour.

MP1 does a nice job by giving every setor its own colour and look. You will see green rainforrest like regions, a blue and icy one, yellow-brownish ruins, red lava caves, industrial areas, an underwater section and much more.

Strange that so many reviews read like "GST > VT09" or vice versa like in this example.

I decided for GST after comparing game play videos because of the spot on crowd reactions and smoother animations.

Re: Review: Pokémon Red and Blue (Game Boy)

[Fanboy]The games should have got a 10/10. Sure, G/S are even better, but that doesnt make the original games less worthy for an 10/10 score.[/Fanoby]

What sucks in the DS versions is that the pokemon got so damn ugly. I even dont like the starter ones - cant imagine to play the next 200 hours with one of that guys...

Re: Review: Yoshi's Cookie (NES)

SeniorDingDong

I liked the game back then. I think it was a birthday present and one of the last games we got for the NES.

At first, I was dissapointed at the second I realized it was nothing else then a puzzle game - and the damn yoshi isnt even seen in 90% of the game :[. A fair try later, I went well with it and had my fun for a long time solving all puzzles, watching the funny cutscenes and pwning my brother in multiplayer.

6/10 is a fair score.

Re: Review: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (DS)

SeniorDingDong

The sequells are better

Tested this one on a girl friends DS and bought Explorers of Time because I liked the grindy concept and idea of directly controlling a team of pokemon.

Sure, the "Explorers" games still have a lots of flaws and still looks like a GBA game (but the graphics improved on a level of a Golden Sun now) but if you that kind person who likes to grind your party up because you can use that awesome spell 17 remaining level ups later, enjoy find out the best working combination out of four pkmn and can enjoy a childish but surprisingly interesting story about time travel and misinformation - then you might enjoy that game.
