> We got ours this morning. New look? Rubbish. Looks too kiddy.
I couldnt see much of a difference at all to be honest, although I dont buy it too often. I prefer PSM2 myself.
Future publishings distibutors have finally managed to find there way to sleepy suffolk.
I now have the mag - nearly a week later than some of you !
Future - this is pathetic - you here me - pathetic.
Anyway a few demo's to waste my evening on tonight..
Anyway, got inside, found the new layout to be ABSOLUTE PANTS! Too many pictures and boxes that pop out at you, all vying (sp?) for your attention, so you don't want to look at anything. I do like the idea of getting rid of the previews with a section that just looks at the games instead of passing judgement. Some of the new bits seem to be trying to emulate Edge, which I don't agree with. If I wanted to read Edge, I would bloody well buy Edge wouldn't I?
The demo wasn't as good as I had hoped either - Tekken 4 was alright but not as good as I'd hoped. It seems a bit slow and bulky. The characters are more close up and have a speech thingy at the end, More DOA stlye. I preffered the old ones.
Micro Machines is okay, seemed very similar to old ones in every way.
Burnout 2 is the game I've played most and is the one that has impressed me the most - not necessarily by being the best, but because I wasn't expecting much of it. Still, I can't see what all the hype was about.
Summoner 2 is a bit bad - the characters are on a ship in a storm at the beginning at yet stay perfectly still. The combat is a bit dodgy and repetitive as well, so I didn't really enjoy it.
Ratchett and Clank was a bit slow moving and remind sme of all platformers so I didn't really give it that much of a go.
I think that's all the games I've been on, and my unadulterated unaltered opinion on all of them. :)
> Its got the Rock on the front
Cheers Nat, glad I didn't buy that one then :D
Oh well, I'll have a look again sometime next week, as I don't really fancy going up every day this week to see if they get it in. A shame because the demo line-up is the best yet I think.
