Edge 166 Scores

Tekken DR - 7 ...very harsh

My view too, its worth a 8 easy! its excellent!

Good to hear about G&G though!

I'll be very interested to read the Disgaea 2 review. Been looking forward to this for ages!

Disgaea 2 is reviewed on Eurogamer today.

Thanks! A very positive review. Interesting to read this;

"...is essentially the same game with a new story and few tweaks here and there ... for the first five hours or so there's very little to distinguish the two games from each other."

Can anyone tell me whether or not this was a factor in Edge giving the game 7?

[Kongster]

I wouldn't take Edge's scores on beat 'em ups seriously.

[NekoFever]

Wow, I'm shocked that they gave Prey an 8. It's not bad, but by Edge's standards that's a fairly high score for a game that plays like Doom 3 with an admittedly cool gravity/portals gimmick and is extremely short. I suppose I'll have to read the review before complaining too much, though.

[DeathAdder]

Yet again Edge gives an excellent game (Tekken) an average score just to be different.

Yet again Edges proves its narrow mindedness to the RPG genre by giving Disgaea 2-7.

Seven is ok I guess but it just seems they always have to mark things down whenever and wherever they can. Its the impression I get everytime they review an RPG or SRPG.

Its just a bit narrow minded to me thats all. Don't they realise that their opinion indirectly affects whether we see these games in our territory. Its a long time since I listened to their reviews for this genre.

Not the responsibility of a reviewer.

[AdamJW]

Yawn!! I know - thats what they all say, but it does do in an 'indirect' way.

[Dogg Thang]

Whether it does or not still doesn't in any way make it their responsibility.

[AdamJW]

Where did I say it was their responsibility. I said 'indirectly'

Thats just an easy get out clause.

[Dogg Thang]

Right here -

Don't they realise that their opinion indirectly affects whether we see these games in our territory.

[AdamJW]

and where does that mention its their responsibility. I also used the term 'indirectly'.

Unless I said 'they have a direct responsibility as reviewer to make sure they don't affect sales' then fair do's.
