PS2
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories - 7.0, 8.0, 6.5
Okami - 9.0, 9.5, 9.0 (Gold Award) (Game of the Month)
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII - 5.0, 5.0, 4.0
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria - 8.0, 9.0, 8.0 (Silver Award)
Dance Factory - 3.0, 7.0, 2.0 |
of course reviews aren't exactly a golden standard to live by, but the fact that a Final Fantasy game got low scores is pretty interesting... add that to the fact that it has been said not to be anything great by people who have already played it...

Not really all that surprising like you said. I really want to see how VP2 and Okami turned out though.

I played a demo of okami a few month back and thought it was amazing...

Damn you! I was raving around the magazine section looking through that. No luck <_< . I want it soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.

I just played the demo for this and it's not nearly as bad as everyone is making it out to be. I think most if not all people will play it for the story. It's just for the fans, I think.

what would you give it from 1-10?
Barakov - August 18, 2006 04:05 AM (GMT)
I'd give it a 7/10. The aiming is kinda wonky but really not that bad. You can set the aiming to manual, semi-automatic and automatic. The story so far from what I've played is interesting.
From all the reviews, especially the 1up one where they gave it 4/10, they made it sound like it was a total disaster. A bet a good portion of the people who are bashing DoC on gamefaqs and such haven't even played it. While the game isn't a disaster it isn't a masterpeice either. It's pretty basic game-play wise. You start the level, start shooting the enemies, get a keycard, open a gate, fight a boss, etc.
It seems like they made quite a few changes to the game to improve for the US release.
It seems you can double jump now and they changed the camera to completely 3D. It might not be great but it's nearly as bad as everyone has made it out to be.
