PS2 Shining Force Neo 8,8,8,9 (33)

Despite any abuse of the franchise's name, the video of this lookged great. The score is promising!

Xbox Spikeout Battle Street 7,7,7,7 (28)

This score suggests it's not totally fucked up, which means it's probably great as far as beat-em-ups go! It's tough to imagine something in the genre getting a 10.

DS Egg Monster Hero 8,9,7,8 (32)

Not sure what to make of this score, really...

DS Touch! Kirby 9,8,8,9 (32)

But this one seems kinda disappointing! What did they give Yoshi Touch & Go?

Wasn't it co-developed by them? Anyway, nice score! Hopefully people will be a little more optimistic about this game now.

Uh, that Kirby total is 34. Nice score for a game that isn't an RPG! :p

Looking forward to playing Kirby and Egg Monster Heros.

Yikes. I hope this is just another typical Famitsu screw-up... :/

Isn't that the Side Scrolling Ys? That one sucked.

The rubber-band level up trick was neat though. :D

Wow a 32! WHODA THUNK IT??

For reference, Wild Arms Advanced 3rd got 32/40 and Wild Arms Alter Code F got 33/40. 32-33 scores for big RPGs are standard, regardless of quality.

the famitsu/ds lovefest continues. they sure like touching. anyway, it's good to see indications that shining force turned out well and that spikeout isn't a disaster.

PS2 Winning Eleven 8 Liveware Evolution 10,8,9,10 (37)
====================================

Highest score in Winnign Eleven history. Is it right?

Anyway I hope that the score is not just due to the new ONLINE feature (that we worldwide player won't be able to use). Ok, now the countdown begins. Super hype mode ON.

Only if you also believe that Nanobreaker is better than Spikeout and KHCoM is way better than Shining Force Neo! :lol

Hey Jonny, if you actually have the damn issue, it'll be appreciated if you can tell us what they said about Ys3 that made it deserving of a 19/40 even in Famitsu terms. :D

All reviewers say that there's not enough content. The one that gave it four says it's got some element of nostalgia to it but whether that is good or bad depends on the user. The real killer is that it's so expensive for what is basically a port. (6090 yen)

I can't access some of the pages. Can someone see if the PS3 > Xbox threads are openable? It won't do it for me. Just goes to a null page. What is happening?

Was willing to get Egg Monster Hero already, but this completely confirms it. Might have to grab Shining Force Neo now as well.. wasn't too keen on that sucker though since no Camelot means no Shining Force love.

Yoshi got a 35. If my math serves me right Kirby got a 34(???). I find this hard to believe. Kirby seems to have a lot more strategy and the drawing looks to be a lot more forgiving. IE the lines stop Kirby instead of slowing him down and the loop-de-loops look super fun as opposed delicate temp clouds.

Just wanted to bump that the Bleach PSP scores make sense now.

According to the official website it's fighting game with a whooping total of FIVE characters + 1 unlockable character bringing the total to SIX

wow, that's gotta be the skimpiest I've ever seen a company be with a fighter.

Cool. Now I can also post in this thread and say I agree with Famitsu that Yoshi is better than Kirby, but that's personal preference for you :)

Very interesting... I loved Lufia 2 and CIMA, and Chaos Seed looked really cool as well. Definitely one of the most underrated RPG companies there is. Those scores for Shining Force Neo are making me very interested...

Eighting developed the Naruto games? Didn't know that, although it makes sense...but according to Gamefaqs it says Tomy developed the first and second Naruto fighting game for GC, while Eighting made the third one. A misinterpretation on their part?

What was reason for low Ys 3 score? crap job like Ys 1 and 2 ps2 or something else? Given Ys 6 crappy sales here and these scores, sadly it looks over for Ys here and that just plain sucks.

Huh, it was released on ps2 week or so ago, so it started. Game does exist outside of PSP, honest. Ys 3 by taito was claimed to be remade ground up like Ys 1 &2, which is why wondering that reviewers said. Though not as remade as what Falcom is now doing, confusing. But my statement still stands with Ys 6 sales extremely low no way we see more of then sadly.
