Nah. I'd have to go with TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, with Brawl at a close second.

Call me crazy, but I've never been compelled to look at Snake's ass.

It's not the fault of consoles that Mass Effect isn't as epic as it probably could be. There's plenty of epic games on consoles, and Mass Effect not being epic does not mean that consoles are incapable of producing epic games. It simply means that BioWare failed to make Mass Effect live up to its full potential as an epic, amazing game. Yes, believe it or not, BioWare can do wrong.

If you choose not to play a game simply because it's not violent, then as a gamer, you, sir, have failed.

Flopped by one of the worst reviews I've ever read from a professional.

No More Heroes:

  • There are more than two enemy types mind you: beam katana wielders, bare-fisted that occassionally throw baseballs, conventional weapons wielders, pistol wielders, and machine gun wielders, but yes I agree there could've been more.
  • Could've mentioned how the high/low and battery system came into play until you received Tsubaki Mk II and Mk III for each respective system. The unarmed attacks could've used better mention of why they're useless because I found them to be useful even after I got Tsubaki Mk III.
  • Could use an overview for those that aren't familiar with the game.
  • Music could have a mention.
  • Could've done a better job of describing how the assassination missions were repetitive.
  • RPG mechanics got no mention at all.

The No More Heroes review was intended for people who had already played the game or read other reviews of it. It wasn't intended to go into large amounts of detail, either, since I personally don't enjoy reading enormous walls of text that go into every little detail of the game. Anyway, here goes:

First Point- While you do have a point, at its most basic there still are only two enemy types, ranged and melee. They only really only differed in the fine details, which was what they were carrying. This usually affected how much damage they could take and deal. In short, they were still all too similar for my tastes, so I felt there really were only two enemy types.

Second Point- I never typed up the second draft for this review, due to how busy I have been over the past few days. But it did address the high/low part, in saying that it was there to give the illusion of depth and that the game could easily be completed without ever using it. The battery system wasn't mentioned in order to keep the review rather short, and in that it really isn't a "system" at all since it just basically means the lightsaber will run out of a charge. Sort of like saying a gun will run out of bullets and need to be reloaded, although in a longer review I would have mentioned it considering the whole running out of batteries concept isn't exactly common knowledge. And I do agree with you that I probably should have stated why wrestling moves are useless, and I would have said the same as I would have with high/low attacks: they're not required. Dedicated button mashing gets the job done just as well.

Third Point- See paragraph above "First Point".

Fourth Point- I decided to focus only on the gameplay, which is why I didn't give a mention to the music or the graphics.

Fifth Point- Indeed.

Sixth Point- This review was written long after I played the game, so this totally slipped my mind. But I most likely would have c1assified it under the same heading as what I said about wrestling moves and high/low attacks.

I appreciate this criticism, and hopefully it will help me write a better review for the next issue.

Gamespot is not the only authority on video games, people. Their reviews alone don't mean jack in the grand scheme of things. Think something like E.T. that basically crashed the industry, not Twilight Princess's 8.8 from GameSpot. Sheesh.

I'm going to go ahead and assume every new 3-D Sonic game is going to be a massive pile of crap until proven otherwise.
