"NGC"

Well, I got the new issue in the post, and thought it fair to post the scores. A lot of the games have been reviewed in previous issues, either the US/JAP versions. Anyway, here they are...

Pikmin:
Visuals - 9, Sounds - 8, Mastery - 8, Lifespan - 6
Overall - 85%

2002 Fifa World Cup:
Visuals - 7, Sounds - 5, Mastery - 2, Lifespan - 3
Overall - 30%

Spiderman The Movie:
Visuals - 8, Sounds - 5, Mastery - 6, Lifespan - 6
Overall - 72%

Visuals - 7, Sounds - 7, Mastery - 6, Lifespan - 6
Overall - 75%

Breath of Fire 2 (GBA):
(No individual scores)
Overall - 80%
I would just like to point out that the screenshots used for this short review were actually from the original Breath of Fire. The cheek! What's more, the review makes it sound like they didn't even play it. Judging from the score, I doubt they even did, because they gave it a 'safe' score.

Virtua Striker 3 V2002:
(No individual scores)
Overall - 55%

Britney's Dance Beat (GBA):
(No individual scores)
Overall - 50%

Space Invaders (GBA):

Something smells very 'five minute playtest' about this one. Verrryy fishy. Oh, and I really hate it when screenshots in magazines are always of the first level. NGC magazine SAY they play games through to the end, but with ones like Super Monkey Ball, the screenshots are only of the first few levels.

How can you say that? If you look at the Luigi´s Mansion screenshots, you´ll see that they got all the 50 boos on every pic. And how could they know exactly where all the treasure is if they hadn´t played it through?

But aren't they all ones were you need to phone? Most competitions in mags are like tah now and they suck. Just stick to the good old e mail or post.

And did anyone enter that movie competition in NGC a while back where you had to create your own film from a nintendo game? I did. In a rush though. And as a result it was fairly crap.

There are loads more prizes in the new NGC!

Brilliant!

I think it is asking you which picture is Lex. But you only win a mem card now.
And I am in there.
I win

You know the lex luthor quiz bit in the magazine, what exactly is it looking for? It doesnt actually ask you a question, just 4 faces with various disguises.

Each to there own on mags i think it is iteresting the offical mag has a new look too. Maybe we need reviews of all the different magazines.

i fink dat is ****ing mazin u no wat i'm ***ing moosh ya ngc is ****ing mazin n nom is load of immature **** **** but i iz only 8 so itd suit me u no wat i iz sayin.


*Blank #1 = 'toot'
Blank #2 = 'say'
Blank #3 = 'honk'
Blank #4 = 'tree pulp'

i think ever since the bigger new look version of NGC it's got alot better.

cube is pretty good, but NOM is utter s*** i mean their reviews are boring as f***.

I've never seen NGC before is it good.
NOM is kinda childish but it is good for getting information 1st.

I just clicked 'Post new message and saw a Pikmin ad on TV. Nice one! Its brilliant, not third-placey at all, full of game footage.

Anyway, what I was going to say, is that NOM is utter crap. So childish, so immature. No magazine which thinks its userbase are 3 years old deserves to be held in high regard. Even NGC is quite childish. But its still the least childish of the lot.
