    Sales figures will be undeserverdly poor.

    For example, I asked for it in Game last night and chap behind counter said "never heard of it, are you sure you've got that right".

    "It's new out today I said"

    "?" said his face

    Then another customer told him that he did have it on the shelf and pointed out the 1 copy they had. Filed in the A-Z rack with only it's spine on show.

    Class.

    King of the Indies, I love both my DS & PSP and believe that both will succeed and that both deserve too. To me they offer different gaming experiences but I want both of those experiences.

    I think DS's GBA compatability will ensure it's future.

    PSP ?, simply do the coke/pespi test. People see my DS and PSP. The first one they go for is PSP. If Sony get the price right it'll be a success even if some don't think it deserves it.

    Good luck to them both.

    Oh and I'm no fanboy of either Company.

    Plus I'm available to hire if you want me to do some in store promo work ;)

    The button with the musical note on it appears to be a mute button - if you hold it in for a second.

    As for smudgey screens - don't touch it - it's not a DS you know.     Reply 0

    Been playing Lumines for last couple of days and have to say that I think it's a great puzzle game but in a puzzlem-up way doesn't offer any great new advances.

    The music however, even though I don't like Techno sort of stuff, is excellent, the tunes are addictive.

    It appears that the columns of the playing area are "channels" on a graphic equaliser and as you complete a block on a specific "channel" then it ups the corresponding graphic equaliser thingy to alter the tune.
    Remember to plug your PSP into your speakers for this one.

    Also the backdrops to the game are excellent with trendy techno pop video style effects that keep catching your eye whilst playing the game. Such as the lips on "Shake Ya Body" level.

    It also has various game modes -

    1p challenge - where you unlock "skins" - levels (tunes/backdrops)
    1p single skin - where you can play your favourite "skin" (level)
    1p puzzle - complete set shapes to complete puzzle
    1p vs CPU - split screen play off where you can unlock skins
    2p WLAN - 2p split screen play off

    Puzzle mode is quite good but tough - it tells you what shape to make (i.e dog, cross) but you only get a set time limit and it's easy to cock it up. Not got past the 4x4 square yet (only about puzzle level 6 ).

    mustard-sandwich, I've just checked on my PSP for charging over USB and it does not appear to charge.

    Battery charging indicator doesn't come on, Battery Status says battery "in use", charge % decreases over time, battery life timer decreases over time.     Reply 0

  • Six golden tickets to be found in Zelda bundles

  • ReGuRgIt8oR 15/11/2004

    Got my bundle on Friday - no gold ticket though :(

    So ... "Gold has always been closely associated with The Legend of Zelda" has it.....

    Well why the feck didn't you make the game cartridge gold so it matches the bloody SP then.

    As I've said before - Words Fail Me.

    Tom, do me a favour and ask Dawn Paine to explain that idea to me.     Reply 0

    For Link-Up play also bear in mind that it works with the GBA Wireless Adapters. Although this isn't mentioned on the packaging, in the manual or even in the game.... until you plug in a wireless adapter and then another option appears in multi-player. It does work, trust me.

    Plus, it works well and signal strength / range is reasonably generous.     Reply 0

    Well I quite like it an get to have regular 3 player games of it as my sons both like it and between us we've got two SP's and one GBA. I already had one link cable for use on Zelda WW, got second in with FF:CC and had to buy one more for from Dixons.

    Therefore my additional outlay was minimal, but I wouldn't advise anyone getting this if they had to acquire more than one extra SP to play it on.

    Not amazing but good fun.     Reply 0

    Dr., it is RGB. I've got a couple.

    The left hand button is to switch RGB pass thru on/off. This allows you to get rid of the green effect on DVD's via a PS2.     Reply 0

    R&C was good, and J&D was very good.

    J&D 2 is good and so I'm sure R&C 2 will be.

    However what I'm really looking forward to is the next evolution of the 3D platformer, the one that really pushes the PS2, yes I mean Bunkum & Hogwash, the screen shots look ace.     Reply 0

    Anyone ever tried playing "Real Tetris" ? No ?, just me then ?

    How you ask ? Why, you use kids coloured building blocks of course and get someone to drop them from a great height whilst you sort them all out. It's crap though.

    Oh and TipTop, there are two things you should know about the Wise Woman (your Nan). 1 - she is wise, 2 she is a woman.

    I'd rather the console manufacturers hiked up their prices. €500 - €1,000 seems a better price point to me.

    Why ?

  • Soul Calibur II

  • ReGuRgIt8oR 26/09/2003

    Nice review, brave score.

    It's the score I'd like to give it but doubt I'd have been brave enough to if I were Shinji (just look at the flak).

    All I can say is that it - IN MY OPINION -

    it is without doubt the best fighting game out there and the best incarnation of the series.

    I have owned many a beat em up but the three most played/most enjoyed were the 3 of the Soul Calibur series (by a long way).

    I agree with Shinji in that you will already know if the "style" of fighting is not to your taste, if so, stay away, otherwise buy it. It's that simple.

    Despite owning the Gamecube Jap version I'm struggling to resist buying this again :(     Reply 0
