Metroid Pinball:

Very very cool so far. It has sharp and clean graphics and plays smooth. The various environments are cool and are straight from the cube games. It has certain parts in 3D like Specials u can activate ' wall jump game ', and also shooting of creatures. It's real good so far

Spyro:

Oh my god, who the hell fucked this game up. First of all the text font is tiny and irritating, second of all, the graphics are so unclear it makes your eyes bleed. They also made it possible to make everything run slow as hell!
each time you enter a new area it also takes 4 to 5 seconds for it to load.
BLAAAH! It looks like the so called pre alpha version IGN Had previewed end up being retail lol.

Sims 2:

This game starts up with a nice movie showing Strangeland and the Hotel. You are required to run a hotel in this Sims version. After making your Character,you start of by getting the car fixed and entering the hotel to do various missions like putting nuclear sticks in the furnace ( lol ) and vacuming the place. It has pretty good graphics for the DS but don't expect too much. It also runs pretty smoothly.

That's it for today's game impressions. More info as I play them more :grin:

Thats not very nice is it.
-1 Rep for you.

Thanks for the impressions on Metroid, but Spyro was always a dead loss IMO.

Yeah I agree with that. I've never even bothered to look at screens for it, as we all know it'll be lame. They sell Spyro on the name alone now.

Cheers for the impressions Social. And I wouldn't mind reading some more info on Sims 2 if possible.

Hey! Thanks for your impressions!

I had Metroid Pinball on preorder, but had to cancel it yesterday (for now) because i had to buy two copies of GTA: LCS for the PSP this month! :hmm:

I WILL buy Metroid Pinball in November though, i really really want it! I've promised myself, hopefully it won't sell out! :D

Why two copies of GTA!?! Because the game is half as good as others so you have to by two to make it good :)

Kidding of course.

Though I actually really dont like GTA games!!


Except the birds eye view originals!!

Was the rumble pack with Metroid Pinball? If so was it as bad as IGN said?

Hey, they are great reviews, if another person hadn't already taken away a rep point I would. Can you tell us more about Sims 2?

Seems like Metroid Prime Pinball will have the same atmosphere as Prime on Gamecube. Brilliant!

I'd like to know this too. Did IGN just get a duff pak, or is it noisy and not very effective?

I got this game today from VGP, my first import game actually.

About the rumblepack: the rumblepack is not really rumbling a lot, you can barely feel it. And when it rumbles it makes a short sound. I thought it would rumble more, but it's good enough, and better than nothing.

first post \^^/

It's noisy. Kinda effective, play alone with the rumble pak though.
