well ign and many american mags said the game was awesome

also famitsu gave it a silver award which is above average

plus it is DRUK not DR - there is a difference

and to answer your question i do not like DR - and i don\'t visit their site often

AlteredBeast Famitsu gave tony hawk 2 that score becuase skateboarding is not very appealing over there - hell i love madden but the japanese don\'t its a matter of culture

Again, the Japanese have different tastes. They prefer dating sims over FPSs...

Jumpdude

You obviously have a negativity problem. You actually think 1 DR UK review means ZOE doesn\'t live up

Famitsu gave it a silver already, Sonysource 9.0 but your comments are of your usual negative lets talk BS crap. You didn\'t research anything else you jumped in here and spewed your usual BS

As dor systems I have, a PS2.... Unfortunate for me I have a wife, a kid, rent, food , utilites, 2 car payments, school paymet, child support, etc....

I\'ve rented a DC twice, I rented and N64 1/2 dozen times and I plan on buying an Xbox

I do what I can and I have formed my opinions from experience

Maybe your not a Nintendo fanboy all together, but we all know

I\'m not going to go on about ZOE because I know it\'s pointless trying to argue with you about subjects like this.

Watch the " care meter" as it drops to low.

We all know what? That I prefer Nintendo? So what. Lots of people here do. Lots of here here prefer Sega and the majority prefers Sony obviously. We all prefer someone.

Your damn right its pointless, you didn\'t research other reviews, you just jumped on the 1st negative one and sung the I told you so song....

Your entitled to your opinion, but in this case you should\'ve either researched other reviews before commenting or played the game...

One review = ****ty game?  Haha, you people are funny.  Has anyone else even READ the review?  It got a miss because it was repetetive?  I suppose Tetris is repeptetive because all I do is drop blocks, but that doesn\'t mean it\'s any less fun, and then I suppose Mario is repeptetive because all I do is smash goombas and save a princess right?  Yet, both are regarded as the best videogames that pioneered all generations preceeding it.  Sheesh, these guys are sad.  It\'s almost as bad as reading a review of a Sony game on a Nintendo forum.

it\'s a page of bash worthy of a rating titled "DUD" rather then miss.  Don\'t get me started on their 4-option rating system covering their scores.  A fuggin dud is a game from 1-3, a miss is a game from 4-6, a hit is a game from 7-9, while a direct hit is a game from 10 to about... oh... well geez, that\'s about it isn\'t it?  Does anyone else see a flaw here?  This thing is a miss, but it\'s not a DUD, does anyone wonder why?  There was obviously SOME joy when they played it to detract from the crapiness that they describe whole-heartidly in their review yet fail to mention.  

Is the story any good?  When does the graphics shine the most?  What kind of enviornments are there?  Are all the enemies the same?  What other techniques can they use?  How is the AI?  Are you a lamer and if so, are you only pissed off because you repeated the gameplay you played in the demo that you beat till it was a dead horse?  I jump on goombas, eat flowers and fly, but I do the same thing for an entire game yet I am considered a Direct hit... who am I?  Jesus, everygame is repetetive when you break it down, it just seems like this guy picked on it because he had to play it 6 times in a  row.  R-e-T-a-R-d.  That\'s all I have to say about that.

Wow I never seen so many people over react.  One bad review..and now we have people already claiming its going to bomb..and how its going to suck.  What ever happened to just playing a game and deciding for yourself whether its good or not.  When did we let people decide what we like and what we think will suck.  Shenmue got a horrible review from Videogames.com..probably the only site I know of that gave it such a low score..yet people bought it..and everyone I know that has it has said postive things for it.  

And dont listen to what people say...98 percent of the people here never played the game.

I really think DR UK is a joke. They rarely have any decent news, and they are constantlt reporting on rumours. Remember when they reported on the first screenshot of Naughty Dog\'s secret game? And then after the entire game industry reported that the screenshot was fake they did another feauture on it with a second screenshot!

Any shred of respect I ever had for their journalisim was gone right there. The only reasons I ever visit their site is for the ocasional (real) screenshots of Uk games that they get before anyone else (getaway, wipeOut, WRC).

And if you\'ve ever read any of their other reviews you\'ve probably realized how completely lost these guys are. They never seem to back up their bad reviews with any solid examples and they\'ll usually just bash (or praise) a game based on only one element of it.

We have to remember opinions are personnal...ZOE got good reviews from other sites, and testers are
only humans too...

There has been a lot of hype around ZOE, perhaps the guy who reviewed it was in some bad day,
perhapshe didnt like that kind of game, there are plenty of reasons to explain this rating.

I think as well that some people really expect too much of a game, especially hyped ones. After all, it\'s
only a game....I mean if I get stuning graphics, good gameplay, fast action, decent storyline...what can I
ask for more?

Developpers can\'t recreate the world at every minute...DR UK found it boring, but most of the games are
sometimes repetitive. Take SSX, one of the best rated games : I love it, but if you think about 1mn, you\'re
always doing the same thing : taking speed, preparing your jump, making tricks, and so on... Is it boring?
No, because it\'s challenging, backgrounds graphics are always changing, it\'s fast and fun.

Yesterday night, I had a lot of fun with a friend of mine, playing Timesplitters, after a while we couldnt stop...
but it\'s always the same thing, gunning, gunning, gunning.....But my friend was amazed by the game, it was the first time she played a FPS, after a while getting used to the controls, she was screaming "Yeaaaah it\'s
so good, gunning everywhere, wow its awesome, yeah yeah yeaaaaaah I shot him, that damn moter..."

Ok I have to end this long post, anyway, I dont expect as much from ZOE thant MGS2. I know ZOE will be
a good game, it may be repetitive, but it will be fun anyway.

Oh, and to conclude, I remember something from the DR review (about having to find a gun, then a code,
going every area to find it, fighting again...) : well, that sounds cool to me. Even if the searching looks basic,
that\'s enough for me.

It\'s a game. It\'s not James Ellroy\'s last book.

Don\'t reply to Jumpy...it\'s only a waste of time ;)
I think he\'s one of the few Troll-BS-Zealot-Nintendo FanBoy here,he has become a joke,and I\'m sure nobody takes seriously what he says:D
Be a Man,Have at least the decency to admit:"Yes,I\'m a Zealot Nintendo Fan" and you are so pathetic when you say:"I\'m not a Nintendo-Fan because I have got a PSX and I\'m buying a PS2! You\'re making yourself a fool!
I\'m a Sony Fan,what\'s the problem? But at least I have the decency to not dirty a Nintendo Forum with ****!
Don\'t get me wrong Jump-Man...I\'d like to help you:D

Nobody should even follow what video game sites say anymore about game reviews. They are just like movie critics... biased. Oh well i saw a jaggie there and it was ugly ohhh knock a point off. For true game reviews I would recommend listenening to people on gaming forums or visiting game websites that are made by average everyday videogame fans, the ones that make the sites because they love the games not for money.
And just because i have my own site (very very bare and amaturish at the moment) and forums is not why I am posting this.
  Did you see the new feature on daily radar ? You can use one of their piece of sh!t poorly written articles on your own website for something like 600 bucks a month or some crazy sh!t

Who cares what DR UK has to say, maybe they have bad taste about fun mech games like Z.O.E.I will probaly like Z.O.E it wont be like the bouncer.It still has awsome graphics.The Japanese people liked Z.O.E.Im sure this will be good and Sony will still make alot of money from Z.O.E because of the MGS2:SOL demo. :laughing:

NEVER TRUST DAILYRADAR UK

they post crap, make up stoopid stuff and talk out their a$$holes

remeber the fake naughty dogs pic...after that they posted another one from the same 3d art site!!!

This makes me angry
Do you believe in a god that statisfies
Do you believe in a god that opens eyes?
Do you believe in a god that tells you lies?
Or do you believe in me??
