Calza Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 It looks a bit werid and some werid games, "Sticky Balls" :wink: anyone. But it has a nice price at £129.99 for the basic pack and it is a GPS, Mobile, Games Machine wonder. Or is it??
taiq Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 It has virtually no exclusive games. That says it all, really.
Calza Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 So nobodys got one, and they were saying its a sucess!!
dabookerman Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 i played it, battery lasts less then psp with games. its ok, but u wont be seeing anything special on it
Jon Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I had a go on one, its alright,but the games are pretty average. Its certainly nothing special.
|Laguna| Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Hehe, my local independant shop used to be an offical Sony shop (although they sold games for other platforms too :S) but now it lost that tag so it's become a Gizmondo one so they have loads of advertising over their walls. The game box are bluddy massive in comparison to DS/PSP cases. The console it self just looks so ugly. How man games are out for it now? I was mightly amused that it released with only 3 launch titles. IMO, The gizmondo seems to be a classic example of 'jack of all trades, master of none' and costs way too much. In other words, it tries to do everything, but doesn't do anything well.
Calza Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 I've only seen HMV have them displayed albeit a tiny shelf taken up by the boxes. Also has anybody seen that Zodiac or Tapwave that seems to be worse than Gizmondo
Guest DS MaNiAc Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 The Zodiac ruled man! They stopped them ages ago though. Anyway, I'm still considering getting a giz, I saw a racing game for it in HMV and the graphics were pretty tasty =o It has a pretty bog standard camera for little snaps. They arent that bad. I'm considering getting a Giz or GPX2 or whatever it's called.

elniro Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 When i went down central london and had looked at it way back, the stuff sounded really interesting and i thought bought getting one, but im not really into handheld gaming and its got hardly any backing so there was not really any point
Bluejay Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Plus NES and SNES emulation... =] don't forget MAME! Also is it worth getting the original GP32 instead as I don't really want to pay £100. It can still pay .avis, snes, nes, MAME, SCUMM etc right. Also, are either systems backlit. Sorry for the thread highjacking
Calza Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Sorry for the thread highjacking Don't worry, but if you want i could create a "Official :Gizmondo & Zodiac thread"
mario114 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Whens the next one coming out, it's ganna have better graphics and a bigger screen.
Choze Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Dont bother. Nokia's new platform is going to be the one to get. Expected to be the pc of handheld gaming. Will work on many phones including existing ones. Games will be scaled accordingly.
Chanser Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Get a Gizmondo, just for it's rarity value in the next couple of years .
cbadds Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Well Gizmondos first 'Big' title Colors is due for release very soon 14th Nov can have a look at some info here : http://www.gizmondo.com/colors/
Kurtle Squad Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 GPX2 is the way to go, has linux can play avi's and you can make your own games for it. Ive already got my pre order in. As have I. MP3s and all sorts. Decent bettery life n such. Play ROMs on the TV, haha!! They should be comming next week shouldn't they?
Bluejay Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 As have I. MP3s and all sorts. Decent bettery life n such. Play ROMs on the TV, haha!! They should be comming next week shouldn't they? Ooh Ooh, post your impressions when you get it please.Emu speeds and the sort, I saw a screenie of Metal Slug running on it. It wasn't full speed but they were improving quickly. GPX2 with metal slug + TV Out cable = awesomeness. I'm saving for one now.
Kurtle Squad Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 Yeah sure. I've been asked that once already. You guys really wanna know what the GP2X is like ey!! :p
