I got NGC editon 74 yesterday and after reading their review of SFA I am outraged by it, I have totally begun to distrust every single Review that they will be posting in the future after I read this certain review. They always try to find something to go on about the game in a non likeable perspective, like it's tedious and it's not really original.
I never really like them since they changed to their big version of the magazine. Also what I find hard to beleive is that they completed the game in 15 hours, that and Eternal Darkness (well it might be possible for ED).

I really hope that they can redeem themselves from this, because the rest of the magazine is good but not the best. I find CUBE to be the best so far, NOM is good because of their walkthroughs and tips section, G-force because of it's free DVD with every issue (hopefully it will have a DVD with Starfox video clips on it).

Any magazine that gives Medal Of Honour 98% should be burned.

Eternal Darkness got a reasonable 90%, I think so to.
I don't think that saying in every review that they completed the games in 15 hours, it's so repetive for them to say that for every game.

They've played it, you haven't.

Who's in the better position to judge?

In the 'N64' incarnation, the highest score was 98%, awarded to Zelda: OOT.

Definately.

When my brother got MOH I admit I as pleasently surprised.

the first level was fun, the weapons felt nice, there was some nice variation where your the gunner on a truck and stuff.

But there was still mucho crapness bits in it.

I would give it about 86%

Absolute krubbish compared to the PC version though. Simply because you can spend around 30 seconds trying to hit someone with a bullet from a machine gun.

Zelda 97% shows how overexagerative PS2 mags are, giving MOH 98%
