When are we going to have one of those Tournaments again. I'm ready to race you all this time.

I also bet no one can outdo me in Curien Mansion's Deadly Route.

Agreed. I gave up playing since I finally accepted there was nothing redeeming about the game whatsoever and should have waited for the inevitable bargain bin overflow. That and the fact that I was being destroyed online by 30 year old men who SOUNDED like 10 year olds, instead of ACTUAL 10 year olds, was depressing.

The best players I know of are in or around their teenage years - i.e., young adults with too much time on their hands.

Well, I might set one up soon but I really need to practise I only got the game this week and I'm not geting nearly enough play time these days. So busy.

I think you guys are missing my point. I'm sure Aliens vs Predator is a fun Halo pastische, but seeing as I don't like 90% of the characters, tracks and music I don't really want to give it a shot period. I also have a shit-ton of other games out/coming soon that I want to play as well so this excuses me from trying the demo at least once. I don't understand why everyone is getting so defensive about the game when it is obviously totally like the game I mentioned because I can see similar characteristics from trailers.

MadeManG has a cap on his internet. So no, it's not just because he had a bunch of better games to look forward to.

Okay, I've decided to at least try the demo out.

I'll report back here when I'm done!

EDIT: 1.03 GB? lolno, fuck that.

So you're implying I should try out the demo of every single game that is put up on XBLM? Even if I have little to zero interest in them? Even though I have download limits on my crappy Australian Internet?

Not very good logic. I mean, if you had no interest in the Alien or Predator franchise, and didn't particulalry like shooters, then why would you download Alien Vs Predator? I doubt anyone would think you're nitpicking and tell you to pull a stick out of your ass for not liking the look of the game much. If it was called Alien vs Predator and featured no Aliens or Predators and instead had Billy Hatcher or something, I'm sure you would like it even less!

Well I just played the game for about 5 hours straight, easily one of the best games I've played this year and one of the best racers this gen. Shits on Mairo Kart Wii and Double Dash easily.

Been doing some time attack annoyingly I'm going to have to admit defeat, Sanus is irritatingly always around 1 or 2 seconds faster then me on most tracks, although I did best him on Monkey Ball Desert.

Played online against Kogen and Sanus yesterday, that was great fun.



Got to say, I'm getting a bit sick of coming into this thread to see the same old lists of 'what sucks' about this game by people that never played it.

The people that refused to buy this game because of very trivial bad choices in an other wise, really fantastic racer are just as bad as the people that didn't buy Bayonetta because 'she looks weird'.

[MadeManG74]

Eh, I started losing interest fast when it was revealed to play like Mario Kart to be honest, it's not just the fact that I hate most the characters and track choices. I'll try the demo out at some point, but likely at the end of the month, because of the download cap I have, and it's a pretty sizey demo.

EDIT: I just realised you said 'trivial' bad choices. When you fuck up nearly every character choice, fuck up the tracks by making as many from the same games as they did (most that have nothing to do with racing whatsoever), and then Bentley Jones and Sonic Rush feature more on the soundtrack than the Original Sonic tunes... that's not really trivial so much as collossal blunders that I can't overlook.

EDIT 2: I'm incredibly sorry, I just realised I may have edited Sharky's post my mistake, but I think I put it back to normal now!

[Sharky]

When I'm having so much fun with a game those choices seem less then trivial. Could have been better but I'm not even bothered... The actual tracks are all extremely beauitul and fun to play in. Doesn't matter what series their from.

Infact, one of Billy Hatchers is one of my favourites, Monkey Ball ones are good too. But Shibua Downtown from Jet Set Radio is by far my favourite track.

Amazingly I haven't actually had to hear the bentley jones song once... I don't know what you expect Mademan but it only plays in the credits which I played once on mute and never viewed again.

[MadeManG74]

You may be right Sharky, I'll try the demo out at some stage at least. Doubt I'll buy the game, but if I really really enjoy it I might do. I just wish they hadn't chosen most of the things they had, and I was really hoping we would be seeing some of these Superstars games geared more towards the long time fans rather than just making them party games etc.

I do hope that if they do a fighter they do it with mostly fighting related charcters rather than Sonic Team mascots etc.

Add a zero to the end of those numbers and you would be spot on.  8-)

You beat me on the first Jet Set Radio level though, but that was after like ten games man, but I had the game for way longer, so I am not trying to say I am way better or sumshit. I had a lot of fun.

I was talking about the time trials not the race we did online!

[max_cady]

I like all the S&S-ASR tracks... But I always mess up in the Super Monkey Ball tracks.

They are the toughest, most hard to do.

That Billy Hatcher lava stage is hard, but doable, just watch out for those random lava bits that fal off.

But those missions are what's keeping me glued to the game.

And getting all the music, tracks and racers. Can't beleive Alex Kidd is so damn expensive and Opa-Opa too. Hope they're worth it.

[Dr. SEGA Monkey]

Just got this game.

It's really fun, but yeah, the flying characters are kinda horrible.

The battle mode is awesome! But apparently, you can't play it online? If so, that's disappointing. (not that I have a Gold account anyway....)

At least the framerate looks nice.

Oh, and the music IS random. The game automatically selects a song at the start of a race, but you can change it if you want. Better than having a "random" option I guess.

[Barry the Nomad]

Music is random in online matches, probably so that the host doesn't take forever choosing a tune.

Local races aren't random, I think they just default to the newest song bought in the Sega Shop. You still have the option to select music at the start of a race. Just wait a moment and the selection bar will appear in the upper right.
