Yeah... That is not going to happen, but it is possible for it to actually turn out well. I mean, that guy at Comicon told Kori it was going to kick ass, and why would some guy who works for SEGA lie?

Bayonetta got 10/10 from Hyper Magazine, thats Australasia's biggest gaming mag! (I think).

Also, they gave Monkey Ball Step and Roll a 5/10, maybe leave that one out.

The I'll put it in... This thread is for good games, if it turns out to be a good game I'll happily happily include it in the thread. But as of now I don't expect it to be, so it isnt there.

Again if any of these games turns out to be a complete and utter shit, I'll take it down.

I guess Bleach: The 3rd Phantom counts a one of those average-at-best titles. It has some 7/10, but then it's all downhill.

I'm guessing nobody here has high hopes for Monkey Ball Step And Roll?

Post by: Aki-at on February 09, 2010, 08:03:46 am
Yeah I am liking what I see of Monkey Ball so far, especially the co-op mode. I am though worried that they have not made an analogue control scheme for the game though, especially with that one Australia magazine complaining about the controls of the game.

But in terms of SEGA games yet to release, Monkey Ball is near the top of my list.

Title: Re: Good Sega games & reviews (2010)
Post by: jonboy101 on February 10, 2010, 01:06:41 pm
I personally don't have high hopes for it, namely because of the exclusion of the analogue controls. Or at least I think I read that.

They gave SASR a 5/10? Their latest issue didn't have a SASR review, it only had the AvP one.

Are you sure of this?

To be honest I was not expecting much from the Monkey Ball game.

Does anyone have the Japanese review scores for games like Yakuza 3, Valkyira Chronicles 2 and  others I may have missed.

Ok so, first you post sonic chronicles reviews even though the title says 2010,
then you post a bad score even though the title says 'good' Sega reviews.

I know 'making relentlessly dumb posts' isn't in the forum rules thread, but it's kind of an unwritten law.

The light is on, but nobodies home...

But still better than Final Fantasy XIII :afroman:

New Hyper Mag just came in:

Yakuza 3: 8/10

Interesting to note that Yakuza 3 scored higher than Final Fantasy XIII (7/10)

Phantasy Star Zero got a 5/10 but from what I skimmed it sounded like he never played Phantasy star since part IV and was upset it wasn't the same.

Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing got a 6/10

Much love from CRazytails towards SEGA. That is some awesome shiz right there.

SEGA, thank you for becoming awesome once again. I don't know about you guys, but I have been noticing SEGA is coming back more and more as years pass. The fanboy in me wants to cry...

Hey, Crazy tails! Glad you are happy and I agree Sega are getting much better and I think their worst days have passed. 2008, 2009 and 2010 Sega have gotten better each year.

I must say this though, please try to use the word 'Gay' as a negitive term less often as we have some gay forum members that might take offense. =)

Also, what EDGE happened to say about Valkyria Chronicles 2.

Quote from: "EDGE"
With Peace Walker having so recently demonstrated what can be done when a complex, home console series is carefully adapted to PSP, Valkyria Chronicles feels like a missed oppertunity. It's battle system still provides an excellent alternative to the rigid chess boards of many a strategy RPG, but one that feels comprimised rather than optimised for it's new setting. There's nothing wrong with heading back to school, but Valkyria Chronicles was already qualified.

Sonic Free Riders

IGN: 7.5/10 (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN1XU0ST5J0)

A little shallow, navigating with menus is terrible unless you use voice, but the rest is top notch. Not bad for a Sonic spinoff series that had two previous underachieving titles.

added the 7.5!

it's interesting that they called the game "shallow" and yet they said the controls weren't "casual friendly". Perhaps what they meant was that the gameplay was simplistic, but the controls are complicated? I'd prefer that to both complicated gameplay AND controls.
