Hmmmmm I don't deny Hitman 2 is great but it isn't very Nintendo like.

Actually the camera issues of Prince of Persia ruins that Nintendo effect. I guess I like Prince of Persia so much because I actually prefer shorter games... mainly as the shorter they are the more likely I am to finish it.

Beyond Good and Evil arrives on the Nintendo Gamecube at SR price of £19.99 next week.

These 2 and XIII are all examples of ubi-softs new found brilliance... games that don't do everything right... XIII have several problems, mainly loading and multiplayer and POP has of course issues with length and camera... not too sure about Beyond Good and Evil but I've heard of some issues... But despite these problems the atmosphere, storyline and pure gameplay fun make them the most Nintendo like 3rd party games I've ever played.

When exactly is BG&E coming out? Every site seems to have a different date.

Getting Prince of Persia this week, all the reviews are excellant for it, and the time thing looks intresting, although it reminds me of that "revolutionary" Xbox game with that Cat - which was hyped up to be brilliant, but was in fact cack.

Okay game, but as others have said, way too short. Even at £30. Beyond Good and evil is okay but the crappy letterbox effect wrecks it. I want all the screen damnit.

Pish I meant games wise. Prince of Persia is the dogs testicles... I advise you all to pick it up, for £30- it's well worth it.

Agreed.

Although you will have finished it by Monday.
'Tis a shame, something so short.
