I've been wondering why this Game 3.0 nonsense only applies to one game and not all the others that could use it.
Not completely true Sony only started spouting off the idea/initiative to devs this month and Lemmings came out way before then. Although to keep to that initiative they should release a pack with the extra content that is present in the PSP version. |

@Spadge
Don't worry, I think the price point is perfect for the amount of gameplay on offer. Then the consumer can decide whether or not they want to buy more when it's made available. Much better than just sticking everything together and forcing people to buy it at a higher pricepoint. Its not like the Lumines debacle either, its a steal for the amount of game you get! Oh and compare this to many of XBLA's "retro" offerings for a similar price, no contest. If you like lemmings, then this is a must buy! /Rant over :-)

Its a simple, visually clean game, thats easy to plan, and u cant argue at that price. £3.49!!! FFS! Come on.....do u want the moon on a stick for less than a fiver!
considering everyone else has given it between 7 and 8.......6/10 is a joke to be fair. AGAIN, £3.49!!!!!!

Compared to the generous ratings ancient barely updated games on xbox live arcade get... 6/10 seems pretty harsh. Yeah its still lemmings, yeah there aren't that many levels. But you clearly mark up live arcade games for being so cheap; this is just as cheap, is actually properly updated graphically and offers far far more gameplay time!
Not that I have any intentions of buying any of the next gen consoles yet! I'd still rathar play this on the interweb for free! |

I'm not getting a PS3 in the near future so I won't be in a position to try it out anytime soon. If it does have some enhancements over the original then that's a good thing. I'm mainly disappointed that the excellent multiplayer mode of the original was dropped for Lemmings 2 and has yet to return in the modern remakes.

MrTonyMontana, you're going to the wrong pubs sir. Or buying the wrong beer. I bet you like that Kronenbourg Blanc stuff dont'cha?
At any rate, at this price it's a steal. I think its an unfair comparison to put it up against Tekken; for a start Tekken is twice the price! |

£3.49 is to much eh for a first gen ps3 EDI game with 40 brand new levels, with all new gfx, music etc? So what is a fair price point for it (when compared to the full price (~30 quid) psp version). Would 2 pounds be about right? 99p? ffs what do u you guys expect for that price? Actually we know, for that price (or more like 7 quid) eurogamer expects a gazillion all new levels, map editor, online multiplayer and the preverbial moon on a stick..
"when you've already coded them on PSP?" That line really did make me chuckle... I spose you must be referring to the "make psp to ps3" button that all devs have on their version of VC++... ...Jesus wept. |

I would rather go back and play the original on the Amiga, it looked nicer then this HD OTT looking version, and I get to use a mouse :)

MrTonyMontana, dude, I have no idea what you're talking about. Was that a pro or a contra?
Anyway, as the very wise MrAtheist said, simply because something is cheap doesn't mean it automatically deserves a 8/10 minimum. Again: The price IS cheap and most people will end up buying it without regrets afterwards, but I think Lemmings is the better game on an SNES than on a PS3, therefore the 6/10 ten is deserved. |

the 6 / 10 wasnt the issue.. The issue was that the reviewer said there wasnt enough content for £3.49

Exactly.....its the fact that for £3.49, Eurogamer expect more for that price.

Might I interject here?
I think nothing more needs saying other than the reviewer is clearly a total fucking clownshoe! I mean really, WTF were you expecting for a paltry £3.50 ffs? Seriously, stop pretending you have the first fucking clue about objective journalism and go back to stacking shelves or your old Mc job. And breath.... ;o) |

Just to state the obvious, a review is pretty much the polar opposite of "objective journalism".

Smelly,
I dont know which DHTML version you are refering to of lemmings. There are a few. But none of them are in HD 720p, with dynamic lighting, dolby surround sound, 40 original challenging levels, teleporters, cloners (lots more lemmings?), gorgeous lightning and water effects, and collectible pickups (does this even mean multiple ways to complete a level?). Seems pretty good value for money. This review is pretty unjust, along with the resistance one.

"What's wrong with Kronenbourg Blanc?"
It's overpriced pish-water with a splash of fruit juice. If you're going to to drink one of "those" beers, at least drink Hoegaarden. |
