The latest issue of Play rates the PS2 game "Army Men Air Attack: Blade's Revenge" at 80% - the same score they gave Zone of the Enders!

I kid you not!

Was the score displayed in a table? If so, maybe the score column and the game name column were out of sync, and as a result, it got the score of an adjacent game.

Then again, there are millions of those army men games, so its probably surrounded by army men titles, so either way, an Army Men title has done it. The unthinkable, the until now impossible, has happened, its made it into double figures on a review score. What does this mean? Will Metal Gear Solid 2 be a flop?

Oh dear.

Nope - afraid not. I've searched for all possible traces of a mistake or deliberate fabrication of evidence, but have found none.

It's a straightforward 3-page review, culminating in a big, fat 80% - and even the reviewer seems genuinely surprised!

Was it a magazine dated for April ? Maybe its an April fools joke so everyone goes out and buys it and realises they've well and truly been done ! ;-))

This is a little strange. I`ll wait and see what PSM2 say yet, but I`ve always thought about Army Men games as being a bit of fun. I`ve never bought one because they are usually bad, but perhaps this will be a change!
