A) No Zelda review, jsuit a rubbishy 'preplay'.

and B) The star letter simply stated how good 4way multiplayer is.

Well done.

Sure, but as a dedicated Nintendo gamer, I would like to know their real opinion, and as such, NGC is far better at that, as the review non-PAL games too. I'm sure its not their fault, but the mag is all the less because of it. And thats not my main gripe.

No. It was a letter saying how great 4 player is. A letter about that actualy had any imagination or quirkyness would have been better.

I know they are not, but there is a limit. The News is good, but not anything special. And NGC has thqat nice little feautre about certain issues, where the team give their honest views.

That may be, but it still sucks.

You realise that the other magazines all review the UK games as well, but they also review the American and japanese games.
It's not exactly a strong point, especially seeing as lots of the revews are under 200 words.

Nintendo Official Magazine are, and will always be a UK magazine. They review and speak about UK games - nothing more, nothing less. That's one of their strong points.

In layman's terms it's that, but in reality it's quite an in-depth description of how important four player multiplayer is to today's games, and how it's now something of a standard.

NOM don't try to be sophisticated - just a fun, and relaxing magazine that can be read easily. They have the most detailed and well presented news section, and the layout's great too.

Give them some credit, they deserve it.

They aren't allowed to review non-pal games.

Star letter one time:
"I think Ocarina Of Time is Great! You can do whatever you want and it lasts ages. Thanks for recommending it guys!"

This won an n64 game.
