P.N.03 - official

[Kinopio]

Most of the reviews of this game are awful. its like they set out on a mission to be needlessly negative, even about the smallest things.

Did they fix the animation hiccups from the trailers and videos? The game looked alright but this was noticeable.

Worst fucking review ever (from GMR):

"If it were a novel, pretentious intellectual critics would love P.N.03 for its minimalism, defiance of convention, and cryptic title (never explained). So postmodern!

Screw that. As a game, P.N.03 is boring and repetitive... (the rest of the review is bland ninth-grade level trite)..."

Seriously, what the hell is his (Paul Brynes) problem? Who could possibly love something because of a cryptic title? Does he even know what 'postmodern' means? And then the phrase, "as a game"? What delusion! How can he think a videogame can be reviewed as anything other than a video game? Fuck, I curse the day I walked into the EB to get the Edge card..

Wow. What an ass. I have an Edge card as well, but I've not read a single article prior to playing it because, get this, it didn't interest me at all.

It seems this game is getting a maximum of "average" from every pub I've read since I've played it. Dave Halverson raved about it (and went on a little to long about Vanessa's body... ), but I've lost all respect for that man since the Ape Escape debachle, not to mention he publishes a niche mag, meaning his opinion is valued at a little less than crap.

It's a shame.

The animation is fluid looking to me.


I'm currently writing a glowing review of P.N.03. Maybe we can form a horde or posse and drop our positive inmpressions of P.N.03 all over the internet. Sort of like we did back in the day with Smashing Drive, except with a slightly less niche game

Yeah, and one that doesn't outright SUCK either.

What happened?

He went on and on about Ape Escape two and it's inherited "innovative" use of the dual shock anologue sticks, and in the very same mag, not 15 pages before, he pans a better game (whose name I cannot remember, but I have the issue, so I'll see about looking it up) for the same use of the anologue sticks.

After that I swore his mag off. Or at least paying for it.

Hmm... i hated the demo, but this thread makes me want to give it a chance, maybe there is something i missed, I will give it a rent as soon as the local video places start carrying it.

Edit: This belongs up there with my previous post.

Vanessa says: "Fuck that shit and buy my game already. Oh and check out my ass."

Silly. It's too bad since Play had such potential. I think I'll stick with XBN because, as Halverson might say, it features a clean design and attractive colors that ignites within me a conflagration of abstract meaningful feeling that every person must have lying dorman in their souls and the writing is good enough to quote and recite while standing on a high cliff basked in the midnight moonlight overlooking a forest filled with furry horny critters.
