Should a game maker have to send a magazine a copy of a game before they'll review it though? Sounds kinda like pimping.

Um, that's the way it's been for YEARS. If the mag can't get a copy from the company, they'll review the copy of it that they bought themselves, of course, the review will come out way AFTER the game's release, which negates part of the reason to review the game in the first place.
Hm, I'm suspicious of that Disaster Report score. Everything I've heard about the game leads me to believe that it's much better than 5.5-average material. I'll be picking it up regardless of EGM's taste.
Despair, have no fear about DMC 2, they gave it FOUR PAGES and quite a bit of praise. Disaster Report is apparantly marred with slowdown. Best thing- being able to have a huge wardrobe. Yipes...
We actually reviewed every potential Late Feb/Early March Gamecube title that was made reviewable to us by publishers(in a timely manner). It's not our fault that the number of GC (and Xbox) titles during this period paled in comparison to the PS2 list. You will find an excellent 4-page Zelda preview in the issue...Quote:

If mags didn't work with publishers to acquire final reviewable code prior to release, no reviews would be timely.Quote:

Maybe, just maybe it sucks?!?!:confused: Seriously, I loved DMC and for some reason I could care less about part 2. I'm not sure why, I think it might have something to do with the city area instead of a bad ass castle.
after seeing the video review on EP the game does look VERY rushed...the background visuals are just ugly...Quote:

With all due respect Mr. Despair, you have not played this game, so have no right to say "WTF???" Just because it's the sequel to your favorite game does not make it immune to below average scores. And they're not even below average. Those are pretty decent scores.Quote:

DMC got what it deserves.:P How much longer should we tolerate filler puzzles and a camera that gets stuck inside bosses?:jest:
The action sections of the game probably are great ( just as in the first one), it's just it's probably an unpolished bastage.
