Your persistence will ensure that you succeed, but quite a few people that will be in the same situation as you, will be frustrated and not touch the game again. I got VERY close to doing so, but I beat it a 2nd time and got satisfaction out of getting both endings.

Promotional material I see. Should help Wii to get at least one unit closer to the ultimate one hundred and twenty million unit target to officially surpass PS2.

Just a courteous word of warning. When you get to the absolute last part of the game, and do what you actually have to do in it [not mentioning for spoiler purposes], if you find you're close to failing, restart. You'll be rather frustrated with the final result otherwise and won't want to touch the game ever again...

Street Fight 2 Turbo is my all time favorite fighting game. I was very skilled with this game when I played it frequently. Played nearly one thousand matches [against credible skilled opponents mostly mind you] and am yet to lose a match, but if I were to play now, i'd be killed and lose that perfect record...

Just like patting a cat, but in this case, really oversized. Animals are rather intelligent. More so than we homosaphiens tend to realise.

Alphaville - Forever Young [This would be rather appropriate if I tragically got my life cut short at a young age] Angelo Badalamenti - Fire Walk With Me (Twin Peaks Theme) Cutting Crew - Just Died In Your Arms Tonight [if I died in the company of my life partner, being female] Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven [Depressing song, suitable for a funeral] Rob Dougan - Clubbed To Death [if I was beaten to death by someone]

Indeed. Also Final Fantasy. Two of the most overrated series of all time, in my opinion. But if I were to choose one, it'd definitely be Final Fantasy, especially Final Fantasy 7. That game encapsulates the term overrated.

I think Gamerankings is starting to lose its credibility to me. Look here, DELIBERATE TARNISHING of scores. The screen above shows the current state of "The Rankings" with 20 review criteria set and game rankings being determined by their average ratio. Who dares drop OOTs average by a massive .2%? Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 (GC), Goldeneye 007, Super Mario 64 and Tekken 3 have all had deliberate tampering with their scores, Tekken 3 has dropped by .7%. My biggest complaint though is the CONTINUAL inclusion of the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 in the top 10. It simply doesn't deserve to be there. An inferior port on an inferior system. Absolute rubbish. I am going to register a complaint on the gamerankings website about this. About time this was corrected for. It is unfair for two of the same game to occupy two places within the top 10. You don't see that anywhere else, in any other "TOP GAME LIST". You have a list of the consoles its featured on, not two seperate spots for each iteration. Unfair advantage to RE4... The game isn't drastically different, its not a remake, it's a port with no changes whatsoever except for the system the games featured on. Incorrect in all respects this placement is. Resident Evil 4 PS2 version has a lower amount of reviews than Half Life 2 with the same cumulative amount for the average ratio used to determine ranking, but RE4 PS2 VERSION is .1% lower for the average ratio determined when taking into account excluded reviews that are not able to form part of the average ratio PLUS to top it all off RE4 PS2 version has a lower user VOTE average than Half Life 2. I have provided additional screen dumps that act as DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE to show you this EXTREME INJUSTICE: Why is there continual acceptance for this? This must change, i'll make sure of it. NOTE: I have not circled the amount of documents on file for each game, but to the left of the USER VOTE average, you can compare the quantities and see that there is absolutely NO REASON whatsoever, RE4 PS2 should be 7th.

Interesting results so far, not far off from what I was expecting... MORE VOTES PLEASE.

Might buy this in 2010 towards the end of the Wiis life now seeing that based on play experiences from members of this forum, the game seems rather underwhelming with key features/options being unneccessarily ommitted.

Is the Godfather really worthy of being deemed the greatest movie of all time? This would get my vote if I created a thread for the most overrated movies of all time. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/

I'd say this is to be expected. Highest in 2006 in terms of average ratio: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/928519.asp

Substantial increase in sales numbers if online is true. Otherwise, one copy will be sold.

I mean failure in terms of number of console units sold.

Nintendo for the most part have made themselves fail in past generations. Friendly fire on their part... They are a REACTIVE company, to truly succeed in the world, you need to be PROACTIVE. Nintendo were reactive with the changeover of formats from cartridge to CD and continued to use cartridge on the N64. Huge mistake that lead to soaring development costs and ultimately failure. Nintendo were reactive with the use of format again on GC and relationships with third parties. This lead to GC being the least successful Nintendo console of all time. Once again, their old ways shine through. They are once again being reactive with Nintendo Wii. Only now two generations later have they changed to standard disc format along with deliberate inferior specifications on Wii to supposedly lower development costs. The problem is, they are ultimately offset by the additional expenses of making Wii specific games with the mandatory establishment of new studios and greater research and development being required and as a result were getting second rate cheap knock off games whereby they sacrifice core gameplay fundamentals in favour of CHEAP motion sensing controls that for the most part have detracted from gameplay, not enhanced it and with the sacrifices to regular gameplay, a lot of these titles are barely playable. Beauty is to the eye of the beholder and Wii with its ugly graphics will not survive this generation unless they have the quality software to truly show why Playing is Believing as at this moment, seeing is believing whereby superior graphics to the average joe automatically means a better game. This in effect shows Nintendos clear weakness that they have failed to address for the past ten years. Their inability to adapt to changes of tastes within society. They still are operating with a business mindset based in the early 1990s. It is a new millenium but they are stuck in the past.

I'm seeing a multitude of users having animated avatars. I want to update my avatar with an animated image, but with every attempt i've had it doesn't allow me saying I may not upload it... Does it only accept certain file types of a certain size? Do you need special software to make them uploadable or does it need to be a special type of animated image specifically designed for forum use?

One of the VERY FEW people in the world not to own a Playstation 2 and I commend you for it.

Not me... -

Darn it, forgot to put an option for OTHER. Instead, if you want to say another series is overrated as the poster above has done (Mikey), just vote for the "None" sledging option and specify the actual game series. I've made MY OWN THREAD FAIL... Disgraceful on my part...

Could Sony bring upon their own demise as a result of being TOO SUCCESSFUL? PS2 being the most successful console of all time, a difficult act to follow, everyones still lapping it up, therefore theres very little need for A LOT of people to buy a PS3? Its the equivalent of Ocarina of Time compared to other Zelda games. Perfection cannot be beaten.

Its just Nintendo being themselves. Not providing their customers with the OPTIMAL products we deserve.

Despite their many wrongdoings that I constantly criticise, they won't just surrender the market they practically built. If they go out, it'll be on their terms, not the fact that they couldn't cope financially and the only thing they could possibly stop is making home consoles.

Wii Sports was released as a stand alone game in Japan not bundled with the system.

As per the options above. NOTE: You can select multiple options but be SERIOUS in your voting. Don't select all just for the sake of it, unless you TRULY believe all games are INFERIOR.
