x play review

[enigmawielder]

ok i know that most people dont take g4tv x play reviews seriously but here is the review for BBS anyway (hey, at least they gave it a 4 out of 5 not like gamespot 7.5 out of 10 )

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for PlayStation Portable - Reviews - G4tv.com

This made me laugh XD

Ventus is a gelled-up mooncalf desperate for friendship, Terra is a tall hunk of stormy man-child vulnerable to evil’s allure, and Aqua is...a girl.

Thanks for the link!

Birth by Sleep’s disc load times are some of the longest and cruelest in recent memory. Without the optional install, expect long, inopportune loads in the middle of cut scenes and intense combat.

Ugh! Enough of the lies! >_<

 

[KingdomSoul333]

is it a video or the written part?

It's a written review.

 

[KingdomSoul333]

oh that has been there a while i think.

You can't deny that the load times weren't a bit excessive, even for a PSP title (or a KH game period) there were dozens. And what I can most agree with is the load screens between just cutscene's themselves. I can understand shifting from cutscene to boss, but cutscene to cutscene? That's a bit much. The climax of the game was notorious for it :/ doesn't mean BBS is shit automatically; hell 4/5 is quite the generous score considering it's X-Play where 3 and below are quite common.

Nope. It was posted today.

I was expecting better than this to be honest. Seems like NA is a little bit more harsh on reviews then Japan.

 

[Iridium]

Well everyone has their own standards, but for the most part the reviews I've seen praise BBS. And think of it this way: what's a better way to promote a franchise developed in your home land then not by giving one of the products a good review?

 

[rawpower]

Pretty okay. But can't you go into first person view and look around like in other KH games? The need to actually activate shotlock seems a little retarded on the player's side for not knowing you can look up in first person. If the gameboard is a cross between Monopoly and Mario party shouldn't it be quite simple? I heard from others that it was really fun and addicting.

 

[KingdomSoul333]

hmmm i thought i saw it the other day.

 

[Soxas]

just typical exaduration of downside for a game.i can understand the loading time being too long but using shotlock to see the environment?cmon now just pathetic.

WHAT?!?!

Ventus is a gelled-up mooncalf desperate for friendship, Terra is a tall hunk of stormy man-child vulnerable to evil’s allure, and Aqua is...a girl.

Considering he ripped on Ven and terra, I guess being apathetic about Aqua is a compliment.

And Ven is a litte desperate, he he.

And the Terra comment is exxagerated. Terra never tried to be evil or intended to be.

I found the Aqua comment amusing since that's far from the truth ^^

Since when has it been wrong to make jokes at the expense of characters?

Also, they didn't say he tried or intended to be evil, they said he was vulnerable to it. Which is nothing but absolute-written-in-stone-for-the-ages truth.

X-play alway's adds humor in there reviews.

 

[Artorius Rex]

Well X-Play nor G4 are considered to be good when it comes to reviewing. RIGHT?c

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

If I don't care about IGN, I REALLY don't care about X-Play. I have this feeling none of the people reviewing used Data Install.

I agree. IGN's review seems really good right about now. Can't believe Gamespot gave it a 7.5
