shep Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Oh man, now I'm really excited about this game! I always thought Iridion II deserved more popularity and sales than it got. I hope Nanostray is a big hit for Shinen. 890606[/snapback] It's all the first game's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptik76 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Iridion II is 15$ at my local toys R us should i buy it? 891245[/snapback] I'd say definitely. Unless you're really good at 2D vertical-scrolling shooters, and think anything less difficult than Ikaruga is for babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it seems like most reviewers hate anything that not gangster related or has buckets of blood. I mean X-play gave metal slug 4&5 a 2/5 for god sake they said it was time to kill 2-d games. Yeah i know their ass holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 I look at it like this, if a game get's pretty much across the board 7.0 and over ratings I try to get it new. I take into consideration the biasness of the reviewer too. You mentioned that G4 show, well it's an alright channel overall for getting to see previews of games etc.. but you need to take their recommendations with a grain of salt. They are not really preaching to us anyway, they are talking to the "average gamer" with his PS2. I hate reviews for one system that bring up some completely different game from another system, for instance I dont care much if there is a shooter on the PS2 that is better then Nanostray on the DS. Getting back to what I was saying, if Nanostray doesnt get good reviews (taking into consideration people on this board too) I'll still get it eventually thru Ebay, but Im not paying 30 bucks or more for a game that isn't top notch... it's just a waste of money. For example I still dont have Goldeneye or Splinter Cell, why pay top dollar for 2nd rate games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 IGN gave it a decent review, but I havnt got it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) and now the third review is in: http://www.gamespot.com/ds/action/nanostray/review.html that's two 6.5's and one 8.0. Today I decided to bite the bullet and buy this game, it looks too good to be bad, but I couldnt find it anywhere... noplace local to me has it (Elect boutique, Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us all have it on their websites, but not in their stores). This is the same company that made Psychonauts, I heard they are not doing to good financially, this might turn into a rare game for the DS. I finally ended up ordering it online (via Ebay) I should have it sometime early next week. so I guess I will let you all know how it is..
