if any of you have rushed out to get a game just because the previews are good, then the game actually turns out to be rubbish, you'll know what i mean.

most game preveiws say how good they are looking and how original it is etc. etc.
but they never realy say if it's gonna be much cop or not.


my prime example in Urban Chaos for psx. Good previws all-round,
but when i bought it....

- AGGHH! rubbish combat, controlls, camera, and mission set-up.what a waste of money.

then come the reveiws
"not as good as expected" is the general comment.

why?
why not say it was rubbish from the start?
stop putting my expectations up!

its because reviews and pre-views are different. previews are when they make wicked 10 secound clips and reviews are from when they release the game after they spend 2 days making it.
