Game Pro Loves The Bouncer....
« on: March 06, 2001, 10:58:50 PM »
http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps2/games/reviews/12105.shtml

I guess this means that everybody is entitled to their opinions... there are the sites that relish in the success that is THE BOUNCER (ie: SONYWEB.COM ... GAMEPRO)

There are some that are indifferent to it (PS2.IGN.COM)

And there are those that just plain don\'t like it (DAILYRADAR.COM)

What do you guys think of the review? 5.0/4.5/4.5/4.5 pretty impressive numbers....

just like all games don\'t take someone elses word for it - a great example is Dynasty Warriors

that game got average reviews and some bad reviews, but the public loves the game

i personally will do what i did with DW2 and try it out first before i consider buying it - considering al the games this month - i gotta be choosy:D

I just have to see the graphics for myself...

well that\'s good to know, just about every other magazine a game site said it was worthless... I trust the bouncer still... and I bet those 2 Hours could be at least weeks for me... I mean come on... I always loved the mega man series...but how long did they last... maybe a day or so... were they still fun... yes.  Did I still buy them... yes... why?  Because they\'re fun... :D

Well, I was playing it all last night, and it\'s really fun. I like Rpg\'s and The Bouncer is like a fighting Rpg.

With every battle you get to pick which character you will fight as, and the others are controlled by the AI. You earn BP(Battle Points) that you can use to up your stats, or "buy" special moves.

The game(story mode) is rather short, but it was MEANT to be. Since the story changes depending on the characters you pick at certain times, their is mega-replay value. Also, by continuous plays in story mode their are secrets to unlock. Don\'t forget about versus and survival modes (which you can play using your beefed up characters from story mode:))

I think it\'s a nice change in the fighting genre, and with some tweeking this could be the start of a new genre.

I\'ll review it fully later:)

That Gamepro review isn\'t exactly thorough - how long did it take them to write that, 1-2 minutes? I\'d rather listen to the opinions of those on this board that have played it, and ultimately I\'ll end up renting it myself.

It\'s basically a fighting game.

How long did it take for people to fhinish Tekken 3? 2 hours? Well...take Tekken 3 and use its fighting engine in a free roaming world and you have The Bouncer(in a nutshell).

But the hype killed it.

If it was marketed as a fighting game with RPG elements, toned down the hype, it would have received better reviews, I bet.

But Square didn\'t hype it. The media did.

I\'ll have a full review up tonight (a serious one now, not no starfighter flake like last time :))  I\'ll have the game today after school and i\'ll play it for 6 hours through and through and if I cant put it down, then I love it, if I can throw it out like yesterdays borscht, well... you get the idea.

Well there is a choice..  Shadows of Destiny or The Bouncer.  Which one or either..???
Hmmmm


What is the general feel out there, what is everyone doing.  I think I may pick up the bouncer, but should I just save my money...  Hmmm

peace

Wait for Ryu\'s review, but by all acounts it seems The Bouncer is far too shallow and most sites are calling Shadows a sleeper hit. I\'d go with Shadows.

Shadow of Destiny is an action game without any interactive action.
« Reply #12 on: March 07, 2001, 09:42:37 AM »
It\'s more of an interactive mystery movie.

But the story is enough to make you want to finish it from beginning to end. There is no escape if you\'re into this type of entertainment.

It\'s not for everyone, particularly if the gamer seeks intense beat\'em up, slash n\' run, run n\'gun action.

This is a mystery game with multiple endings.
