Is the Dodonpachi score the iPhone version or the 360 one?

Actually, it'll be about this:

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - 8
Dead Rising 2 - 7

Enslaved got a higher score than Dead Rising 2?

subversus · Sep 27, 2010

Enslaved is good as I expected.

But Hydrophopbia??? hmmm...

Holy shit, seriously? Awesome.

Hydrophobia looked good in the vids ive seen a 3.:lol

sublimit · Sep 27, 2010

Edge loves UK developers.No surprises here.
I expect DMC to get a 10 when the time comes.

Cosmonaut X · Sep 27, 2010

I thought the cover was for Bloodstone?

Wii Party score is as expected - any particularly interest reasoning, or is it the usual Edge complaints for that type of party game?

Even better, it's Enslaved 360 vs Dead Rising PS3!

Fight fight fight!

will wait for review comments, though I am pleased Castlevania turned out well.

So that Castlevania game is actually good. Cool.

Enslaved looks like a bloody good game. Get over your pathetic prejudices.

Got a good score cos its a UK-developed game, shine a fucking light!

f0rk · Sep 27, 2010

Does this issue include the Bobby Kotick interview Eurogamer is spamming posts about?

Pretty much. :lol

Hydrophobia - 3

Hmm, still thinking about buying this game, i like the concept of it.

Except they gave Heavenly Sword 6

lucablight · Sep 27, 2010

Why didn't they review the PS3 versions of Enslaved and Castlevania?

Vasili2K38 · Sep 27, 2010

I would like to read the reviews for Enslaved and Castlevania

More than likely, Konami and Namco sent over 360 review copies and Capcom sent a PS3 review copy for DR2.

It looks like a tech demo.

Famitsu loves Japanese developers

GamePro/Game Informer loves US developers.

I wonder if there's anything behind this if that is the case?

They gave Heavenly Sword a 6 so that's not true. Unless, that was because HS was a PS3 exclusive.

Now the thread can really begin!

Anyway, this makes me more convinced that the Enslaved demo was bad as it undersells what may possibly be a good game.

Pooya · Sep 27, 2010

wow at Hydrophobia, I thought it was supposed to be a good game

.

No Halo review due to wanting time to put in to the multiplayer.

Halo Reach review is already on the site, 9/10

Novella · Sep 27, 2010

Another win for PC gaming.

British person found.

Anyhow, I'll be curious to read the actual reviews for a lot of these.

SmokyDave · Sep 27, 2010

Excellent scores for Dodonpachi Resurrection and Civ 5, must remember to pick up this months mag.

OMG 360 version of Castlevania and Enslaved are the best! DR2 superior on ps3 confirmed! That's what you wanted to say, right?

They are small fish...small fish that are sacrificed to cover the love affair with the big ones.
When was the last time a big AAA UK developer got scored under 5 by Edge?

I'm really curious to read their review regarding Enslaved because either the main game is completely different than the demo or they'll try to justify the score by playing the story/concept card with broad generalizations.

By the way, when's this issue out for non-subscribers? Could do with something to read while bedridden.

Sub cover is Goldeneye, retail will be Blood/Joss Stone.

As for Wii Party it seems to be very much like Mario Party, the 80 games are very mixed.

That by popular demand it now controls precisely like MW2 and runs at 60fps.

nothing to moan about here. Civ 5 goooood, Enslaved gooood, Castlevania goood

V_Arnold · Sep 27, 2010

Whao. I guess EDGE did not approach Enslaved as something that aims to take the throne away from hack and slash games. They should have known better. They should have read GAF
