you can look at page 6 on that thread if have to see for yourself.

Plus there is thread where I collected all the info and put it out, and then EGM staffers put out some other
scores from the month.

Those Baten Kaitos numbers are a bit discouraging, looks like I can hold off on it.

damn..i almost forgot mgs 3 is comin out this month...

Aside from GTA, the only other one I\'d maybe go for is NFSU. Maybe Tennis, but that\'s a distant third.

I\'m still sick of FPS games (post-Goldeneye syndrome). After some time with MGS: Twin Snakes, I\'ve decided the MGS series isn\'t really my cup of tea, either, though I haven\'t given that game a fair amount of playtime with the other games I bought gobbling up my spare time.

I can\'t wait for MGS3...this one just looks damn good. And MGS3 is nothing like the previous games. And I hate tea. But whatever floats your boat...

Two 9\'s and a 10 for MP2. Not bad, but short of the 10/10/10 MP1 got.

Still, not bad all things considered. It certainly got less hype than Halo 2, and wasn\'t expected to exceed the original game as much as Halo 2.

Everybody knew that Halo 2 had to be better than Halo 1 because there was a lot of room for improvement with Halo. Metroid Prime... ehhh... no. Frankly, I\'d be surprised if MP2 topped MP1 and EGM apparently thinks it hasn\'t.

I thought Prime\'s A.I. was far too predictable (you met one pirate then you met them all) The challenge became switching your cannon quickly enough.  I also thought the game could have used more variety in enemy types.  

There is ALWAYS room for improvement.

Ahem, never said there wasn\'t. Halo had more headroom, that was my point.

I wasn\'t so enamored by the enemy types/AI in MP as I was the brilliant game design in most every other area. In the department of quality A.I., Halo on Legendary blows MP out of the water and into the seafood section.

I think they\'re both exemplary games in their respective approach to the genre, I just don\'t see how Metroid Prime was better in that regard.

I think they both sucked.
Same with MGS and GTA.
So, I think all the big games \'cept HL2 and Vampire (PC) are all going to suck.

When you say MGS I think of the original.  If you really did mean the original then YOU SUCK!

Ginko: Halo wasn\'t a bad game. It just wasn\'t the high-9\'s/10 score it received.

My beef with the game was the single-player mode. While it sustained me, when compared to MP\'s quest it pales in comparison. Greatly, IMO.

Now.. that said.. when you toss in the multiplayer (including ironically.. co-op) Halo makes great gains IMHO. It still has shitty level design, though. LD = very, very integral to a solid SP experience.

I also didn\'t think the story wasn\'t as great as people made it out to be. I really liked how MP subtlely introduced its background story but like you said.. they\'re different games and they do different things well.

If MGS3 still has that whore who rings your videophone every 2 minutes I\'ll DEFINITELY skip this one.  I can\'t believe Konami didn\'t notice how cheezy and obnoxious those phone conversations were.  I still like the first better.

But it still looks like a great holiday season for us nerds. :nerd:

I suppose I\'ll just have to agree to disagree because even after three years, and countless times through, I still rate it a 10. (the multiplayer aspect is good, but I base my score on the single player experience)

I\'m not quite sure how you\'re comparing the two when it comes to level design since they both had vastly different approaches in gameplay.  Halo had huge enviroments with full on assault in mind, Prime had small connected rooms based more on exploration and small bursts of enemies.  Halo you could go through any level you wanted on different difficulty levels and it was fun to go through numerous times, I didn\'t have any inclination to go through MP\'s quest again.

difference of opinion...meh
