Kor Qel Droma Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 I just picked up my copy today from Wal-Mart(ugh). Has anyone else tried this and if so, is it just me or is Count Dookoo pretty hard to beat? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Yst Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Reviews look poor enough there's no way I'll bother with this one. There are enough good games out there that playing a mediocre one just makes no sense at all to me nowadays. I'd have to do absolutely nothing but play games and sleep just in order to have enough time to get through all the games in the "great" category and on into the "pretty good" category of releases in turn. Mediocre doesn't even register on the radar.

Bokishi Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Wal-Mart sucks, the whole store is a slop. Especially where I live... Current 3DMark
ErictheFallenJedi Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 I have no choice but to shop at Wal-Mart. It's the only place in my town to buy video games, plus my sister works there. I'm atleast gonna rent Revenge of the Sith along with Lego Star Wars, just to see how they are. Well you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.
Cloris Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Revenge of the Sith only took about six hours to play, and I had a good time. It's much more of a shooter (saber?) than role-play. but it is good for getting some glimpses at the movie ahead of time -- well, the action parts, anyway. Yes, Dooku is hard, but he's only the first of the boss types, so it only gets worse from there. Cheat codes are widely available already, and by the end I had used the one that allows you to regenerate force/health at a slightly (and they do mean SLIGHTLY) faster rate. I haven't played through the bonus missions yet, or done much dueling, but they both look like fun. Playing co-op is supposed to be a different experience, so in the end, there may be a lot more playability than I first thought. You could always get it from Amazon or Best Buy or who-knows-how-many places online if you really don't want to shop at Psycho-Sam's Neighborhood Destroying Juggernaut... Cloris
Volourn Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Waaa.. Wal Mart is evil. Boo hoo hoo. No, Wal Mart is awesome. As for the game, I don't play SW games. KOTOR series is an exception, of course. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

KOTOR series is an exception, of course. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I admire Wal-Mart because they are capitalism incarnate. However I admire them in the same way I admire someone who's particularly devious/manipulative, but leaves a bad taste in my mouth doing business with them. The same way I try not to deal with people like that, I try not to deal with Wal-Mart. They're just too unethical even for me.
Volourn Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Meh. They pay a decent wage and they give good prices. Good on 'em. Oh, you eman they get cheap stuff from other countries? Boo hoo. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Boo hoo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um, no, I was talking more about hiring illegal immigrants so they can pay them less and screw americans out of jobs. Paying women less in the same position as their male counterparts. There've been lawsuits man, their ethics are pretty dirty.

Gotta love unbridled laisez faire capitalism. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Meshugger Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Last i've heard about it, was when gamepost loathed it: 6.3/10.

Cloris Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Last i've heard about it, was when gamepost loathed it: 6.3/10. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not bad, but it is certainly no KOTORII, in my opinion. Cloris
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 10, 2005 Author Posted May 10, 2005 I agree with Cloris. It's not KOTOR. So don't expect it to be. It's more of a side scrolling LOTR game with better graphics. I was frustrated that I couldn't really do what I wanted to in this game, but I do realize it's not a RPG. Wal-Mart does suck, and to tell you the truth I went to future shop every day since the fifth hoping they would have it, but they still don't have their **** together enough to have it on the shelves. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Its a game based off a movie. Of course it will be bad. Harvey
Musopticon? Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 The rabbitt has spoken, d00ds. Face the facts. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
213374U Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Its a game based off a movie. Of course it will be bad. That's so cynical, even for you. And now PLEASE. How bad are the spoilers for this game? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Musopticon? Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Come to think of it, all good games based on movies are easily countable with just one hand. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Cantousent Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 How can you rate something 6.3/10 as loathing it. The damned scales are meaningless for these companies. My favorites have always been the 1 star rating from CGW. Now THERE is a magazine that's not afraid to give a low rating to something they truly hate.
