Well Vexx arrived today from Importmadness (panic over) and now you'll be able to read my score's!! Is it Vexxcellent or a waste of programmer's time?? Find out now!!
Controls: Like Mario Sunshine but in some ways better. You can also do some superb climbing 8/10
Graphics: Great in most places and the views of every world so far is outstanding but let down by some crap mixing of colours on Rocks etc.. 8/10
Fighting: Superb, more violent then Mario Sunshine and always satisfying you can do a combonation of kicks and punches and upper cuts etc.. 9/10
Lifespan: HUGE about 30 hours of gameplay, 9 objectives for each of the 9 worlds and it get's tough pretty quickly. 10/10
Originality: Not so good, but it has taken the ideas from the best platformer on cube so far (Mario Sunshine) and it also builds on it as well. 7/10
Story: A Star Fox adventure's rip off, the Dark Yabu (or General scales) are taken over your world and break it up into piece's then you have to go to each of the broken up areas and do every objective there, oh and your Granddad could die :(. 4/10
Worlds: Forest's, Western, Ruins etc.. and quite big, Vexxcellent 9/10
94% up there with the best and it's a must buy title. Some extremly funny parts like taking on a fat Sumo wrestler (with wobbly stomach) on top of a huge tree and finding cool mini-games hidden within each world, but it's not a rememberal character and the lack of originality brings it down a little. Acclaims best title by far.... :)

Pop.
I probably will get this.
However, I played it on XBox, and I heard the GC version had some frame rate trouble and stuff. Any/how bad? etc.

No your wrong, after thinking about getting it i decided to get some information on it, after visiting the USA site Ebgames.com i found out that there is 30 Solid hours of Gameplay, It also becomes very tough quickly making you play it longer and the objective's you have to do are great and some are long as well, i think it's quite a HUGE game, if you have read NGC and CUBE they said Wind Waker was HUGE and it takes only 40 hours, are you saying that's not a Huge game??? I was just informing you, it's certainly worth getting. Oh and i don't think i was that generous on the marking, there are some great touche's in there:
SPOILER ALERT like one where your in a living room world and there's a computer game next to a TV (your very small compared to this) and you can actually turn both of them on and see a computer game on the screen, also in the same level you must turn on a radio, the aerial goes up and you can climb up to what was normally a unreachable area, original and cool!!SPOILER ALERT

You got it tofday, but you've allready found it to get tough. And you KNOW there's 30 hours of gameplay, how?, unless you finished it, you can't say, really. And don't say you've finished it cos if it took you 30 hours, and you only got it today, i doesn't make sense.
Other than that, seems like a good game.

I played this on an XBox demo disc. Seems very polished and lovely. Nowhere near as good as the Mario games, but certainly a great game (as far as I could tell), despite a lack of originality and things.
I might well buy.

uhh...I was going to get this anyway, but it sounds like you're just a bit generous with your marking...
Oh, and a long game would be more like 50 hours..
