Not necessarily what I'd choose or how I'd score those titles, but their selections and scores seem largely defensible. Not bad for a mag with which I rarely agree. Is Otogi really that good-looking?

How the fuck do they justify a 4 for Z.O.E. 2? Sure, it's short, but that doesn't completely ruin the game.

I wondered about that as well.

I also question the 5/10 for Rayman 3.

I copied this from another board, so it might be wrong. Sidez can probably confirm this...

Don't know if they are counting DOA3 and Fatal Frame too.

edit: And if you haven't read the mag or back issues you shouldn't bitch too much about the scores.

I cannot wait for this one to hit the States.

Fatal Frame should count - I think it came out in March 2003, and was improved for the Xbox in November.

Yeah, those are the scores and awards as they appear in the magazine.

O.To.Gi... Yeah, I think it is really good looking. Tho not as good as impressive as Panzer Dragoon Orta, it's still a thing of real beauty. (Orta got 3rd place in the graphics award in Edge.)

Later.

Hm, since Famitsu is considered the GamePro of Japan, you'll need to find something more hardcore.

This is the biggest fuck you Edge could have possibly given. Not only did Compile and Psikyo die this year, but Midway Games West, who you may know as Atari Games were closed this year... These guys still employed people who've been there since the 70s. These are the people that pioneered the industry, and they give the award to the shit heads that inflicted Incoming on us.

Dark Cloud 2 a 6 out of 10? I question its credibility right then and there.

The pure fact that they put Metrpoid Prime as game of the year, and then give Tecmo the developer of the year award?! Thats outrageous! And the fact that they gave Zone of the Enders 2 a 4/10 makes no sense to me at all.

It's funny the way that the Edge scores spread from message board to message board like a virus, causing misery and strife wherever they go. TNL is one of the last to be infected, so you guys must have some kind of immunity or somthing. :)

Those scores are wacky.

I'd be curious for the reasons behind DC2, and especially ZOE2' scores.
