Hero-of-Time Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Just bought the mag this morning and its a pretty good read this month. The big suprise is the big section they devote to My Sims which I have to say looks fantastic and they are equally optimistic. After Sims 2:Pets we were expecting a sub-standard clone of Animal Crossing. But MySims is looking like a fantastic game that combines the best bits of Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon and The Sims and adds even more. Another preview they done was on the zombie shooter Dead N Furious and again they are very excited by it even if I am abit skeptical. Although Dead N Furious has been in development for a while now, we only got to properly sit down and play it and we are amazed at how playable it really is. This could easily be the first suprsie hit in 2007. Reviews wise here are a few of the games that they did review: Sonic and the Secret Rings:- 81% Pros:- Controls breathe new life into Sonic Ring customisationis a great Idea Visually fantastic detailed levels Cons:- Can occasionally be frustrating The 40 minigames lack depth Kororinpa:- 80% Pros Intuitive and additive control method Remote and Nuchuck two player is a great idea The balls are varied and hilarious Cons Lack of proper camera control is disappointing Abit to easy Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2:- 84% Pros Simple enjoyable 3D fighting Huge combat areas Nice destructible scenery Great animated look Cons Ludicrously poor plot Freshly Picked Tingles Rosy Rupeeland:- 76% Pros A totally unique adventure Bizarre characters are genuinely funny Fantastically stylised graphics Cons Dungeons are a chore Rubbish fighting system Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2:March of the Minis:- 82% Pros Intuitive and easy to learn controls WiFi mode increases longevity Classic Mario charm - colourful and funny Excellent level editor features Cons Far too easy for experienced gamers. They also have put a nice VC cheats section in the mag and I hope that this is a feature that will stick with the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 What about the £5 game voucher and the 7 posters, What are they like? They havnt been generous on the scores have they? Usually they're giving out 90% to every game. Seems they may have calmed down and are actually giving them scores based on their play test not because its nintendo.

Cube Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Didn't the editor of ONM leave before this issue? Or Something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Did they have a release date for Freshly Picked Tingles Rosy Rupeeland? (Quality title! ) Nope but I did read somewhere it was due in April, cant remember where I read it though. Didn't the editor of ONM leave before this issue? Or Something. Yeah I think so because in this months they dont have a pick of the editor its just all blacked out and they say that the new one will be shown next month. What about the £5 game voucher and the 7 posters, What are they like? The £5 voucher is for ExciteTruck when bought in Currys or Dixons. The 7 Posters are of Sonic, Metal Slug, MySim, Sonic again, DBZ, Heatseeker and Minda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know that the next editor will be the current deputy editor, and the new deputy editor will be the current editor of nRevolution. Both of these people were the editor and deputy editor of the magazine CUBE for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo Fan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 i didn't think dbz would get that high, also the wii controls were not considered as cons!! all the more reason to get it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm happy DBZ got that high I saw "Ludicrously poor plot" and decided I'm going out of my way never to buy that magazine ever again. The same people that gave Red Steel a 91%. Pfft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolFunkMan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Good to see Sonic got a decent(ish) score. Let's hope that this is a sign that Sega will start improving the Sonic games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 M mum came home with it and I read through it. MySims looks really cool, building your own furniture, granted its only as blocks I kinda lke the sound of it. The settlers aswell sounds awesome.

flameboy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Please! TO HOLY GOD! Don't let that friends code thing be true..........PLEASE!!!! thats the way I'm feeling, wot a nightmare if it is. I mean personally I'm not asking for something as indepth as xbox live yet. I'd happily have an address book update, whereby it says what games players have, whether or not they are online and if so what they are playing, an invite button, perhaps, just something simple to start with, but at the moment I can't see even that happening, or even something simpler.... I mean I know Nintendo want to protect minors, which is far enough, but surely they could incorporate something into the parental controls, so that the rest of us can get on with having some decent kind of service.

DCK Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 If they set Pokemon Battle Revolution as an example of online Wii gaming, I don't see what's the problem. They're not saying every Wii game needs a seperate friend code, they're just saying that the Wii has an online game. Some people read too much in stuff.

Yes they have you need a friend code for the game - its a complete seperate friend code. Standard have been set. I'm not complaing or anything but maybe one number for anything.

Yeah. I'd be happy if it was just IDs rather than those god awful codes. It can't be that hard to pull off surely. The list just doesn't feel like a friends list. You have no idea what so ever if they are online or off. It just feels like a list of names, say like on a mobile phone or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
