Very low score for Okami. Who reviewed it? I bet it was that tool, Giancarlo. Either that, or it was a terrible port.

They're trying to crush it down because it competes with Zelda (and is fresh and better imo).

There a number of great games on the PS2...I could care less if a port if I have yet to have the time to play it on the PS2

Gameplay is always better than graphics but if I could gett even a little better graphics out of the deal then all the better.

EGM also gave World Ends a 9.0

Who reviewed it because if it was the new guy he probably gave it a low score since every game he reviewed he gave them a 9.0 or higher (He actually gave out 2 10s and before he showed up Nintendo Power only gave one game a 10 which was RE4) and e probably figured he needed to give a game a bad score. If it wasn' the new guy Chris Slate I wouldn't know why he gave it that score.

360 and PS3 are getting a PS2 Resident Evil game. Are you saying all consoles are sucky? In the deep recesses of your mind lies a dormant hermit waiting to strike.

Yey, 9 for Mario Kart, can't wait, only a week and a half left!And Battle of the Bands looks interesting, 7 is pretty good considering it's something new and weird.

agreed.

Agreed x2.

And seeing that Mario Kart got a 9, since NP overrates most Nintendo franchises by a point or so, I'm expecting the game to be around a 8.

That and most of us played it 2 years ago :| I still don't think it deserves a 7.5 (more like an 8.5) but there's not new content in the game, just revamped graphics supposedly and the waggle.

Well it did beat Twilight Princess at it's own game. If I were Nintendo I'd be pretty upset as well.

For all the people who keep saying you can't believe Nintendo powers reviews because of Bias... I'd just like to point that Nintendo doesn't publish Nintendo Power anymore...

GundamGuy0

I also want to state the fact that Nintendo Power became more biased towards Nintendo after they were sold to Future US.

Back when they were with Nintendo, they were actually fair. Theye even critisized Nintendo games from time to time.

Eh i guess for you guys... not for me though. Since i thought Okami wasn't that great, specially now that there are higher standards.

Since when did you guys start taking NP scores seriously? I wouldn't say biased as much as I think they are....nope, they're biased.

They've tricked me into buying a lot of crappy games that they said were good *coughbattalionwarscough*

i know the wii isnt supposed to have shiny graphics, but before the wii was launched we already had the PS2 slim, i mean was it that hard to simply introduce all the effects last gen had?

NP probably got an older build of the game -- you have to consider that they probably played it last month and based the review off that. IGN just got the final build of the game yesterday, which they've improved the paper filter, wide screen issues, and controls.
