I find that NGC hardly ever says anything good about nintendo.

Im not acting like nintendo is best becuase im sure they can say something which they are better at, its when all the consoles are bad t something and they moan at the GC and not the others, but i suppose if they multi format they would


im never buying another ngc mag ever, unless a dvd is free..then we will see.

Actually, it's 15% more than everyone has in here has been saying. I was going on what they were saying and, as I said, I've not played the game yet.

The review said they completed it in 15 hours, it may sound like nit-picking, but that is 50% less than you thought.

I thought they're review of Starfox sounded fair. I mean they didn't say one good thing about the game the whole way through the article and still gave it 72, by the time I'd finished I thought they'd probably given it a much lower score. I was going to buy it, but I think I'll rent it and see where it goes from there.

Only other one I can think of is Turok Evolution. And I haven't even played Starfox Adventures yet, which is why I'm not in the position to comment on it directly.
