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.
Zelda - Ocarina of Time
WWF Attitude
Perfect Dark
Metropolis Street Racer
Conkers BFD
Banjo Tooie
All those but one matched up to expectations - Most of them were delayed for well over a year and well worth the wait but WWF Attitude I was quite disappointed with, it wasnt really a huge step from Warzone but still fun nevertheless!!
Now I am anticipating hundreds of titles - Most noticably MGS2, GT3, Shenmue II, Black and White (DC), Excitebike 64...
Goldeneye was magic and people wanted more.
And as great as it was, it just couldn't live up to all the hype that had built up to it's release so if any one says it's crap, it's they're own fault for being to hyped!
