    I've still got to get me LEGO Harry Potter when I've got some spare cash, demo on PSN/XBLA was fun.

    Puntastic!

  • mingster #3 2 years ago

    SuperPun.

  • Stomp224 #4 2 years ago

    Poor Demon's Souls. It might have still been in the top 10 if there was more stock available. I had trouble tracking down a copy here.

    Incredible game, not quite as difficult as I was led to believe, but very punishing on mistakes

  • Widge #5 2 years ago

    Thats it. Its not unfair but will leap upon you if you're careless. I was expecting the game to be fierce from the off but its only now as I push into the later parts of the game that it is becoming more and more tense.

  • Eurolamer #6 2 years ago

    "Sales are Rowling in."

    It's an 8/10 from me. Very Good.

  • PeacockDreams #7 2 years ago

    I love this game but at times the graphics can be a bit 'blocky'

    /rates own pun, realises it isnt actually a pun, gives it 4/10 anyway

  • axman303 #8 2 years ago

    Just Dance still in the Top 10! Surely this is some kind of record run?

  • ignatiusjreilly #9 2 years ago

    Will we get a Dance on Broadway review?

    I always enjoy the "how-the-fuck-are-we-supposed-to-review-this" reviews.

  • StooMonster #10 2 years ago

    Lovin' playing LEGO Harry Potter with the kids.

  • green_nifta #11 2 years ago

    Yeah, I'd love to see some comments on Dance on Broadway too! I noticed it's hit number one in the Amazon sales charts since the weekend, yet utterly ignored by the gaming press. Hehe.

  • ignatiusjreilly #12 2 years ago

    I found a review! On HealthFitnessSupport .com (whose most recent article is Urinary Tract Infection Cure - I'm not even joking):

    "In short, while I gave Just Dance 5 out of 5 stars, I’ll give this one 4 out of 5 mainly because I would have liked to see Ubisoft improve the motion tracking more than they did, as well as include more cardio-intensive choreography. Still, it’s a solid title which I definitely recommend.

    There are a lot of titles coming in the next few months like Ubisoft’s Gold’s Gym Dance Workout, Majesco’s Zumba for Wii, and Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution which will also focus on real dance moves. I definitely commend Ubisoft for starting this trend, and hope between these companies they can really perfect the motion controls and get the world dancing"

    Watch out EG, you let these guys get the scoop on you for a top-10 game!

    edit: In fact, 4/5 translates to 8/10. Just hire them EG, they already know how the scoring system works around here ;)

    Since it's from Ubifail I give it 0/5 out of principle...
