Isgoed #3 Posted December 9, 2005 Wow, the Doom rating is high! I am surprised that Burnout only received a 4 HoverStrike is also more worth then a 3 in my opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superjudge3 #6 Posted December 9, 2005 Game Informer must have not played Zool 2 all the way through because that game in my opinion is right up there with Sonic and Mario. I love it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love it! 979493[/snapback] That explains why I never got into those other two either :-) Really strange since everyone seemed to love it. I played Sonic and Knuckles a bit longer and was always flying around with knuckles so I must say that I enjoyed that but I sucked so bad at Mario I think I never finished any other version than that first one on the game boy. Rayman on the other hand....... Well guess I am just not such a good platform gamer. Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd give Cybermorph a 7 and Tempest 2000 a 10! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd give it an 8.5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter 979518[/snapback] Zool 2 is a very good game except for the occasional slowdown and the supreme difficulty of the last level. Peterghiea, you NEED to pick up SMB 2 and ESPECIALLY SMB 3 as that is one of the greatest video games of all time. It really is an awesome gaming experience. Then after you beat those you NEED to pick up SM World and SMW 2 Yoshi's Island, which is a supremely awesome game. None of these games mentioned are near as difficult as Rayman so don't worry. Rayman imo IS a bit too hard, but it's also a great game. Just not QUITE as good as the Mario's... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd give Cybermorph a 7 and Tempest 2000 a 10! 979642[/snapback] Gameinformer got their start around september of 91 in a funcoland store with Sonic being on the Cover. They became biomonthly until the November 1994. The also did a article on they're on the hopes of the Jaguar being sucessful. They also did a two page preview and writing on Alein Vs Predator,Doom,Ultra Uortix, Double Dragon 5,Kasumi ninja,Flashback,Redline Racing(checkered Flag), and Wolfenstein 3-D after visting atari. This was in the July,Auguest 1994 issue. They even mention what months they come out for most of them. Gameinformer typing hopefully and Should with many of the titles with Kasumi Ninja being available July 1994 along with, Double dragon 5 around November, Wolfenstein July 1994,Doom 1994, and Alien VS Predator July 1994. They did two envent covering Atari. the Winter Ces 1995 and the first Ever E3. Remember this was way before funco inc. was bought by the people who run gamestop with gameinformer being purchased too by them. Not the same Megazine since Gamestop tookover.

8th lutz #12 Posted December 10, 2005 Wow, the Doom rating is high!I am surprised that Burnout only received a 4 HoverStrike is also more worth then a 3 in my opinion 979437[/snapback] What you have to understand that gameinformer before being purchased by the people owned gamestop, was their reviews were allowed to rate by their own opinion not by potental sales by movie names, by the hireup at store chains wanting high and low scores based on potental sales, what scores should be by what buyers want and not how good the game is. In those days gameinformer had 3 or more reviewers of one game except for on a glace part. That means what ever genre they like has to accounted for. That format was up to 2001 to prevent 10 from happening very much. If the Jaguar was gamestop stores, and gameinformer being under gamestop, the games would be looked at based on license of the game, and what they think what gamers expect for Jaguar reviews. That means doom would be a 10,Alien vs Prederator a 10 ten, and Wolfeinstein 3-d would of got at least 9.5. But at the same time, if Checkered Flad had a Major license with tons of extras would be given at least 6 or 7 despite how bad the game plays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley #13 Posted December 14, 2005 I remeber way back when that egm scored the sega 32x version of Doom higher than the one for the jag, despite all the extras in the game and the better graphics/gameplay..they musta hated the jag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
