Why did SH2 get such a low score?
-
Well some great scores for Madden DMC, Dave Mirra and NCAA, but I\'ve seen dissapointing scores for Silent Hill 2 from a few places
-
Yes, what´s the matter about this game? Why a 7?
-
Heres just a thought, maybe Silent Hill 2 got a low score(not that 7 is that low) because they didnt think it was very good, it can happen you know, not all ps2 games should get a 9 and above.:)
-
Strange i have seen reviews of SH2 that where near enough perfect, uh i supose it all depends on the person thats playing it.
-
Survival Horror is kind of a love it or hate it type of thing. So I could see how SH2 could get good or bad scores from various sources.
-
one of the main gripes of the reviewer was that the game is way too dark....and the novelty of not being able to see wears of right away.
-
i dont recall this thread being about silent hill 2..but while were on the subject....
i wonder why silent hill got a 7...7\'s arent bad, but they aint that good either, specially for a long awaited sequel as this one...
it better not dissapoint...guess well have to wait till next week, and atleast well be getting ICO as well...

Ummm...that\'s why "dark n scary" games are supposed to be played with the lights out! Wimpy reviewer was probably ascared & had to play with the lights on;) ...Who\'m I kiddin\'? I\'m gonna soil my shorts soo much with this game it\'ll be pathetic!!!:eek:
-
EGM is probably the best gaming magazine out there. Maybe the game deserves the score it got.

Well I don\'t take anything gameinformer says seriously. And there reviews of games are best reserve for Nickelodeon.
Madden 9.75 (Over scored)
Kessen 8 hahahaha
SH2 7.0(Under appreciated)
These scores they gave mean nothing but the rest of there scores mean lest than nothing.

Nice job posting your opinion, just because you think those scores are wrong doesnt mean everyone thinks that, for one have you even played Madden 2002, its in most peoples opinion the best football game ever made, you havent played Kessen 2 so how the **** do you know thats funny, same with SH2, have you played that game yet, nope

Umm I finally played madden2k2. I rented it. And It was not that bad, but it was not nothing new. The graphics where better. The gameplay was the same. I liked the fact that characters where not fat line backers. But all in all nothing new. I think they over scored it. And I have read countless things on silent hill 2 and the hands on review.
And I read the hands on Kessen 2 review and it sounds and seems a lot better than it crappy counter-part kessen 1.
But in the pass gameinformer has elevated crap and they are doing it now.

Gamepro gave Madden 2002 all 5s.
PSM gave it a 10.
EGM gave it the game of the month award, and gave it a 9, and two 9.5s.
I just thought you would want to know that. :)

game informer frequently slices and dices games and reveals them for the poop they are...i try to read reviews from a variety of places to get a bigger picture. egm is a good magazine but a bit elitist with that whole, we won\'t use a cheat to save our lives\' bullsh--. psm is a good magazine, along with next gen. most of the rest blow turkey rectum.
it is a good idea to start noticing the names of the reviewers so you figure out which ones have simaler tastes to yourself.
let\'s face it with the advent of the net...we can get our news faster. magazines our just another fix for the game junky.
-
I used to buy EGM since they reviewed SNES games. I stopped buying them when they reviewed Gran Turismo 2, they gave the game all 10\'s. The games graphics were very pixellated and I thought the 1st game was way better. Don\'t take it the wrong way, but I thought the game wasn\'t perfect. Gran Turismo 3 is a different story, it\'s awesome but GT2 looked very rushed IMO. The internet is the best way to get reviews, and just asking people on this forum will give you a good idea if a game is good or not.
-
well i am not very impressed with game informer
they do have a werid way of doing their mag and they seem more into making it look cool then putting out quality reviews and stuff like that
but yea i dont ever take the review of a game to seriously since i can think of a lot of games i love that arent critically acclaimed
-
Who cares guys, it\'s gonna be a Cult Classic anyway. this is going to be a definate purchase for those with
a Playstation 2. me for one, will be picking it up and about 6 dozen pairs of new underwear.
Oh, and some for the missus, she loves SH aswell :D
-
Game Informer = Sony Informer.
These guys have fired all their game fans and hired Sony fanboys to write their reviews, much like the current EGM status.
Oh how I wish for the days to return with GameFan magazine, easily the best there was.
Taking reviews from this magazine would be like taking a Dreamcast review from Bossieman or Bozco, Sonyfan knows what I am talking about.

Game Informer also said SH2 better in every way than SH1. They gave SH1 a lower scor ewhen it was released by the way. They siad it was a RE clone :laughing: Also EGM said SH2 is better than SH1 so SH 1 fans should have no worries. SH for PSX never got the greatest scores if I recall. But it has a huge cult following.

I hope you mean the old GameFan, and not the recent crap with ECM.

Plz dont even mention my name ever because your a dumbass and all you try to do is start fights, and its funny that you call me a sony fanboy, well then again I can call you a sega fanboy, who knows for what system though since the dreamcast is good as dead
-
EGM are a bunch of sony fanboys eh.. Guess why they have orgasms for every Zelda game.....:rolleyes: Gamefan was full of Sega fanboys. Works both ways.
-
calm down guys...a magazine is just something to do on the crapper...

ive read a few reviews of sh2, the problems are sometimes the levels are too big and youve only got to find one thing, the thing you need doesnt stand out enough, so what you think is part of the scenery is actually something really important, or its nothing but you think its something you need. you have to be in the right place to pick something up, so you end up thinking its nothing when it actually is.
******* spoiler*******
i read somewhere you have to search a whole block of flats for one key
******* end of spoiler*******
i dont care if it got a 7, ive seen lots of great reviews and im gonna get the game anyway as i loved the original...i hope sh2 has multiple endings and multiple parts of the plots, as in sometimes you dont see a certain scene, but once youve got all endings you have seen all scenes
-
ohh yeah have they reviewed project edan yet??? as it comes out in england next friday!!!!!! wooooo hooooooo
-
Actually, Gamefan was full of gameboy\'s. They had Sega fans, Nintendo fans, Sony fans, even Jaguar/3DO fans.
Go read the 95-97 issues when they were superb and you would see the total unbias reviews and game coverage of all systems. In fact, back in the day, that mag and Tips and Tricks were the oly place to get \'good\' import game info. I bought KoF\'97 for Saturn after reading a review of it in Gamefan.
bam. EGM used to be really good too. Game informer sadly has never been good. Look at their ridiculous \'100 best games ever\'
GameFan was for the hardcore gamers, nothing more, nothing less, which I am guessing why they went bankrupt.

yea there 100 best games was way off
so i like a sucky magazine. sue me...:laughing:
