We all have games that we HAD to get on release day. What were they for you? Did they live up to expectations?
There's only 2 games ive bought on day of release, they were MSR and B&W. MSR definately lived up to my hopes. B&W is good, but i think i need to play it some more to really get into it.

Actually, have you played the MGS2 demo???
C'mon the PS2 Forum, then you'll see that we don't have disappointed looks on our faces, but very happy ones!!
Also, I can't wait to see your disappointed face when the GC comes out and does exactly what the PS2 did (read my new topic in the PS2 Forum about expecting too much to fond out more)

Actually, MGS2 easily lives up to the hype.
Well, the demo does, so don't be too sure yet Dan.
You should have more sympathy!
Look! They've already wasted £300+ on a piece of Sony trash!

(I'm really sorry Ant...)

And why would that be?
Goldeneye was a surprise. You'd never seen anything like it before. That's why it was so effective.
You were expecting Perfect Dark to have the same effect only be better in billions of ways.
After all the hype and expectations, Rare produced the N64's best game which couldn't have been much better.
Unfortunatly, due to all the hype, you had imagined it to be impossibly good. THAT is why you were disappointed.
Beware off hype! It's going to hit lots of PS2 owners between they eye's when MGS2.
Yes, it'll be the best game around, but after all the hype, for many of you, it won't be half as good as you thought it would be!
