"CUBE reviews Starfox and Eternal Darkness"

Ok so it has been out a week and I've just got it but there has been some interesting reviews:

Starfox Adventures: 94%
Eternal Darkness: 93%
Phantasy Star Edition 1 and 2: 69%
Doshin the Giant: 74%
Rocky: 83%
Ace Golf: 81%
Animal Crossing: 85%
Wrestlemania X8: 53%
Need for Speed 2: 53%
Pro Tennis WTA tour: 45%
Smugglers Run: Warzones: 71%
Freekstyle: 70%
Pac-man fever: 57%
Disney Sports Skateboarding: 46%

Now discuss.

But its still not enough to justify spending £40 on it when you already have it on dreamcast.
Also the price tag if £40/60...does that mean it comes with a modem?,or is that a future release?

An extra level is one hell of a lot, this is a similar upgrade between Version 1 and Version 2.

Well you see....er...i was talking about what ive heard about. my prveiw if you will.
I just think that to be a good game like perfect dark, zelda and mario etc you need to be good in all areas.
If its true about the game being short then i think it should not get high marks, sure i enjoyed luigis mansion but it was short so i dont think it should get high marks, which it wouldnt anyway..but thats my point of veiw.

Yeah and i still might get it, i wasnt sure about it befor ei saw the review...but still i think that in the time between the release on dreamcast and on GC that we deserve a bit more than 2 extra levels..if they make a brand new one from scratch i will deffinatly buy it.

I think 2nd world countries was the term for Communist nations just out of a Communist regime. Or a developing nation, in between the 1st/3rd world....like.......perhaps Spain. Thriving tourism. Outdated agriculture (well it was a few years back) from the Fascist regime. Perhaps.

Either of the two, me thinks.

Have you played Starfox Adventures then Boz? If you have then tell me how far you got to see if you had played it enough to know it doesn't deserve 94%... for christ sake they say its better than Mario.

And Phantasy Star Online is a wicked online RPG, well done SEGA that they can produce such a good game on the Dreamcast. I don't care about the graphics it is wicked.

just got the mag and im NOT surprised about the score for phantasy star as it looks like the dreamcast game with 2 extra levels.

Also 94% for star fox sounds a little high to me, id say 90%.

Wow. I started something here.

Same with the First World-Third World issue, really. What a mess - maybe we all hate using even numbers.

Or perhaps veiwing the game through someone else's eyes is second person.

So say you're playing Perfect Dark and used a Cam Spy, but instead of controlling it from the Cam Spy's perspective you kept looking through Joanna's eyes and moved it around like that.

That would be 2nd person, right?

Close enough. :-D

So a second person game, would be where you tell a character what to do, but don't directly control them.

Like the villagers in Doshin, although obviously you actually play as Doshin so that is third person.

I think the only way it would work would be if you typed instructions (or selected them from a list) and the character did them, but you don't actually directly control his movements.

Maybe Tamagotchis *shudder* are second person?
