Hello Everyone!!
Who's been disappointed with a game then?
Have you been told by everyone that the game is the best thing since...Mario 3 on the NES?
Well, I've recently been rather displeased with Pro Evolution Soccer on the PS2, have Konami hyptnotised everyone? - is there anyone else out there who agrees with me that this football game is just not good?
Maybe there isn't, but I am sure that there has been a game that you have bought because of personal recommendations, or because of a review, and when you've actually played it, you wonder what all the fuss was about, slap yourself with a tuna for wasting your money on it, then attempt to tell everyone how your opinion is different from the crowd, try to find a better game, then help promote that.
Anyway, I shan't dwell on my thoughts of PES
("This game struggles to achieve mediocrity, it plays like a castrated donkey – there is no spark, the graphics although fairly colourful aren’t vibrant – they’re plain, dull & the players look alienated from the turf...")
If you want to read the reviews on it, you know where to go, but I remember playing MSR, thinking along with a great deal of people that it was fantastic, then being almost insulted when the odd few gamers said it was rubbish - why on earth did I feel hurt by this?
Maybe sometimes we just don't see the inner beauty of a game, perhaps 30fps suddenly jumps to 60fps, the gameplay advancing and the sound becoming Dolby Digital after say 10 hours of gaming, but I doubt that's the case.
IF you play a game once and hate it, you won't comew back to it again - and nor should you! I suppose not everyone shares the same opinion about a game, and one review is just one person's opinion - so you shouldn't blame a magazine for telling you something's amazing, when you'd rather eat nails than be in the same room as that game...
Disappointment, Hype, Recommendation, Displeasure - all these things can be linked, maybe there should be some tests that everyone thinking of buying a game could take to see if they are right for that game.

Anywho. I really need to get Shenmue 2, I guess that means I need a Dreamcast....
Thanks for reading and DISCUSS!! :-)

Smackdown 3.
Rubbish.
It's not that it's a bad game, but it's just not my thing.
I thought the 2nd one was excellent, with frustrating cut-scenes you couldn't skip that dragged career mode out to the point of annoying.
And then the 3rd one came out.
"Cut Scenes involving your character only"
Woo-Hoo!
But what they didn't say was "Cut scenes involving your character only, because there is no career mode anymore, merely a shoddy story mode you complete after 3 matches"
Rubbish.
