[I just want to say now that if anyone wants footage of Splinter Cell running on PS2, get Play].
Anyway, out of all the games reviewed, one obviously received the highest score out of the bunch. Ape Escape 2? Bounty Hunter? The Getaway. Not quite.
T'was Battle Engine Aquila, which received a good 90%, beating Ape Escape by 1%, The Getaway by 7%, Sly Cooper by 10% and Bounty Hunter by 20%.
I've yet to read the review for it, but it does look quite good on the DVD.
Hmmmm....

Hmmm indeed.
Eg.
Metal Gear Solid 2, the most hyped thing since .. something hyped, it gets 10/10. And it is a load of balls.
GTA3, on the other hand. Brilliant, 10 times better than MGS2. No hype, so then only 8/10.
They tell you what you want to hear and charge you too much, that's what they do.

That's the strangest thing ever! Anything else gave GTA3 at least 90%.
MGS2 wasn't that bad, but it probably only deserved 8/10
I remember Edge giving a game like GTA 3 a six one issue, only to "correct" the score andd give it an eight, obviously seeing the success it was in sales. Now, they've given Vice City an 8 as well.
I've also noticed that games which aren't popular or well known are punished more drastically for small problems which may have been ignored with bigger, more "important" games.
