An NGage game outscoring Spore? Thats unexpected even if the game is enjoyable.

I thought they would have given spore an 8 for what it tried to achieve (but didnt quite succeed), guess i was wrong.

Respect for the Yakuza 2 score, I might buy the magazine just to read that review!

5 for STFU? Typical Edge scoring.... :?

I'd give it 7

You think its better than average? I found it a bit too repetitve, and the combat mechanics a bit "flimsy" (terrible word to use but couldnt think of a better one!)

...it's hard to see how Firebrand could improve upon a game that doesn't so much touch the sides of the technical capabilities of Nintendo's machine as it does smash them.


Trackmania DS. Excited much? :)

Star Wars TFU - 5
Infinite Undiscovery - 6


No no no no no.

Add two to the first, and take at least two of the second

I agree. I think TFU is a 7 and Infinite Undiscovery isn't even average at best, it's just crap.

Predictable Spore score.

I probably won't bother with BiA or Pure now either.

I think 6 is about right for ID but def 2 more for Star Wars

Oh no... not exactly surprising I suppose but I couldn't help hoping it would score a 7 or 8. What does the review say about it?

I've got it pre-ordered, still really looking forward to it. :lol:

So far, so good for me. I'm only on the scrapyard planet level, and I'm having a blast with it!

I'd say 5 is about right, for Edge anyway. 5 for them is merely average, and a bit disappointing, whereas in other publications it's well below average and not that good. 5 is right. My personal score would be a couple higher though.
