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).

I have Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast. It is great, and my favourite online game. It's decent offline too. But nothing compares to finding a team who actually want to play and completing the game with them. I presume that the GC version will suffer from idiots who just use it like a chatroom, which is what happened in PSO ver.2 on the Dreamcast.

Maybe its a crap game. Maybe its boring. Maybe it wasn't good for 5 years of production. Maybe the hype was too much for it. maybe it was too short. Maybe it was repetitive. Maybe it wasn't to the reviewers liking. Maybe they just don't like rare. There.

Do magazines make up your mind or something? They give views and opinions.

Remember the whole South Park deal?
And what about that WCW Vs NWO fiasco?

Magazines can't always be spot on, come on.

Actually the game Starfox Adventures was in production for 3 and a half years, but Dinosaur planet was in for 5 years.

Why do you think they lied. It's mor likely that CUBE lied.
