I played that yesterday on a display. Seemed to be as good as the N64 one, which kicked ass. I just wish it had online play to seal the deal. Oh well.Quote:

I suck at both Mario Tennis and Top Spin, and I suck at tennis in real life. :(
I'll be getting Metroid Prime 2 for certain and hopefully a PSTwo and MGS3: Snake Eater.
Burnout 3 is my next christmas purchase, is it any good on LIVE though?
If I wanted to play a game as good as the N64 one, Ill, surprise surprise, play the N64 one. Releasing the same fucking game four years later is inexcusable. There are so many examples this year of great sequels - Rome: Total War, Half-Life 2, Ratchet & Clank 3, Halo 2, San Andreas - and its funny that the one big company doing the lazy rehash sequel this year is Nintendo.Quote:

Ratchet and Clank 3 is really, REALLY good stuff. It is certainly an excellent sequel.
But anyway, on the Nintendo front, Viewtiful Joe 2 and Metroid Prime 2 seem to be some good sequel outings, though I agree that their efforts in porting over old N64 games to the DS seems lazy.
I had fun with RnC 3, but the single player is still derivative of 1 and 2, and the multiplayer is only good because it exists online (just as with a lot of non-racer type console games)
Ratchet & Clank 3 has a brand new full-featured online mode, for one thing. And San Andreas is a lot bigger, with a whole shitload of new features, like the territory, and bikes, and character customization, and so forth. Halo 2's a huge improvement on the original, and Rome Total War, yea, huge jump over Medieval Total War.Quote:

Yeah, but adding stuff doesn't matter when it isn't as good as what already exists.
RnC 3 isn't much fun online.
Halo 2 plays like the original but with support for mor eplayers (which is good, but PCs have done this since 1996)
GTA's character customization is stupid. Everything takes way too long to load, and building muscle is annoying. Riding bikes sucks too (X, X, X, X, X, ad infinitum to get anywhere)
Do you have any of these games yet, or what?
I love you, Joust.
