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%

Overall - 51%
Arcade Advanced (GBA):

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):
(No individual scores)
Overall - 73%
Rave: The Groove Adventure (JAP):
Visuals - 7, Sounds - 6, Mastery - 6, Lifespan - 7
Overall - 69%
Smashing Drive (US):
Visuals - 3, Sounds - 5, Mastery - 2, Lifespan - 3
Overall - 29%
Battle Houshin (JAP)
Visuals - 6, Sounds - 6, Mastery - 6, Lifespan - 6
Overall - 70%
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.
