Edge Issue 144 Thread

[Treble]

That's why I put 'complaints' in inverted commas - at 8/10, they can only be fairly minor niggles, I'm guessing. Thing is, people who actually know **** about games are saying it's comparable to the best 2D Zelda game made, and one of the best games ever made (to many peoples' minds) - LTTP.

What do they say about it?

[Prine]

Don't you know that 8 is a highly rated score according to their scoring system

haha

[HaHaUK]

Halo 2 - 9 wasnt really expecting a high score for this
Metroid Prime 2 - 8
GTA:SA - 9
Killzone - 6
The Getaway2 - 3

I wasn't expecting a high score for Halo 2, but then again, it's a very much love-or-hate title. And I hate it. :P Interesting to see the HL2 scores next month.

[PeteJ]

Keep up, HL2 scored a ten last month.

Thought it was just me at first. Was trying to figure out where I'd seen it get a 10.

[Wools]

Great scores.

Im glad Halo 2 got recogination considering some of the bile thats constantly thrown at both games and im definatly intrested in Paper Mario 2 now that EDGE and Gamecentral both gave great marks for this good looking title.

Disapointed that Killzone aint what it promised to be. Defnatly going to rent it though.

Does anyone really reccomened Rachet and clank 3 though? Ive always loved platformers as a kid but the last one I genuinally adored was Mario 64 and not much else since has piped my intrest. Kinda want to jump back on the bandwagon and have some fun!

Meh, shows you how much notice I take ;p

[TheShend]

I'm not up to reading the reviews in last months issue yet!

[TheShend]

Where the hell is the Xbox SFA review?

10 red parries out of 10 tbfh.

[Miguel007]

I would've said Minish Cap deserves a 9.

[robrymond]

Thats somewhat interesting. Is Half Life 2 really that good to deserve an Edge 10. If so, I'm really surprised GTA hasn't, even Halo 2.

[Mad Gear]

I'll try and answer a few queeries

RE: Halo2's mutliplayer. Review doesn't really focus on the multiplayer, just says multiplayer is tremendous, as expected.

RE: POP2 review. Even more beautiful than before, but let down by too much combat caused by re-spawning enemies and lots of back-tracking to make the game last longer and seem bigger than it actually is.

RE: Pathway to Glory. The first in-house game developed for the N-Gage is a World War 2 RTS. Because that the N-Gage is a phone it opens up local co-op and competitive matches and also global match-ups, which means you can send sarky texts to people in Canada.
Edge call it genuinely excellent.

RE: Zelda TMC review. To summise Edge say the luxurious quantity and quality of this game is almost unprecedented on a handheld system.
After tens of hours of gameplay, the wellspring of love, craftsmanship and invention poured into the minish cap refuses to run dry. So i think they say its a bit good then.

RE: GTA:SA review. Basically the sum of the game is better than the parts.
If you look past its sometimes graphical problems and immerse yourself in the freedom with-in the game then the rewards are there for the taking.

BTW i never knew that the Getaway sold over 3 million!!!

[Miguel007]

But The Getaway cost about ?7 Million to make. There was bound to be a sequel to try and break even the outlay in the first game, even though they are both rubbish.
