The review is up, and I dissagree with some things that ar mentioned. I don't think the platform elements are "awkward" as they say, I thought they were great in the original and so were the dungeons. So if everything is the same, then it should be just as great.

I think it's kinda a dissapointment that after all this time, the devs can't seem to go around slowdown and more importantly, the long loading times on the PSP. I'm sure there must be some ways.

IMO I think it's more than worthwhile for people that never played the original, as it's a truly great RPG.

Also nevermind the review, the original one sucked big time to begin with.

This is why I HATE Gamespot reviews, 10x more recently with Loco Roco's, I guess its because it wasn't a GTA Clone, right Jeff? :roll: The first game deserved a 9, MINIMUM, and it got shafted hard, so it was obvious it would happen for this as well, gamespot screwes over every RPG that isn't mainstream or Final Fantasy. I'm going to get it, because the PS1 version is so expensive now.

Greg reviewed it. He has been known to give reviews that many people disagree on. As panzer pointed that out yesterday " the Greg May Cry 3 sig":lol:

I need a PSP, but the Wii and 360 are just so tempting. I had intended to get a PSP this year, you can see where that idea has gone.

Okay, does anybody else seriously not have a problem with the slowdown or the load times? I've only just finished the tutorial "episodes" and neither of the two have come up as a serious problem. And I can easily spot such things, too!

Well I've only played the original and it didn't have them. So it's just what GS said, and they tend to exaggerate things.

So if it's nothing major, all the better then.

GS has been making crappy reviews alot nowadays. I am still busy with NCAA2007 to worry about it. I glad I just rent it because it is crappy compared to last year's.

I just watched half the review and turned it off, I can see why developers hate reviewers. The story being uninsteresting.. and having to fight to stay awake during cutscenes? WTF. Also that the dungeons are boring to go through.. seriously.. if you want DMC or Ninja Gaiden, go play those, don't review an RPG thats MEANT to be the way that it is. A real Reviewer who enjoys RPGs, wold have given it an easy 8.5, and a 9 to the original (just because it is just a port, even though the 3D cutscenes are really sick). Gamespot fails me..

Edit: Also, he talked about how most of the game concepts you won't understand for over half the game.. within an hour at most it should all become very obvious. Now we know he sucks at RPGs like GregK sucks at action games.

Its just like the artical I put up a short while ago. GS keeps giving games to people who aren't fans of that genre. Greg doesn't like JRPGs, Jeff only likes blood and boobs games. Stop giving them games that they don't like. GS' reviews have gone down the crapper since the redesign.

It's apparent with Greg. I'm sure he's still spoiled with Oblivion (which after the first few hours of awing me, it started to wear off and I lost interest in the game; IMO, not deserving of the 9.6. An 8-8.7 is my range; looking to sell it now.) They really need to fix the reviews though. What is the point of giving the duty of reviewing a game to someone who doesn't enjoy the genre?

They should go the way of GI and EGM and have more than 1 person review a game, but make it someone who loves the genre, and someone who hates it, to find an average.

Even that would be better. A POV from someone who loves the genre so avid RPG players can get a review from someone who plays them just as much as you and a POV from someone who doesn't play the genre on a regular basis or at all so people who are the same as them can get it from someone just as new or not experienced in the genre as the reader.

Well the problem is.. 1 reviewer would be fine if: a) They are actually somehow 100% neutral towards the genre, but have played enough of it it and they don't hate it. b) someone who enjoys it, but knows it well enough so they dont give alot of games AAA just for being the genre that it is.

Whatever I can get for it. I'm having my bro take some 360 games into EB and whatever I get is going towards VP and preordering FFXII CE. From there, I'm saving for PS3 and will probably only pick up 1 or 2 more 360 titles (360 games have mostly been "miss" for me so far.) and the rest will be PS2 titles (sig) and 2-3 PS3 launch/around launch games. That's the rest of my year pretty much. Christmas is the recovery period (or if I don't have the money/can't find a PS3 on launch, then X-Mas money will be a big help) I need to see about setting up a eBay account.....

Edit: Also, he talked about how most of the game concepts you won't understand for over half the game.. within an hour at most it should all become very obvious. Now we know he sucks at RPGs like GregK sucks at action games.

Its just like the artical I put up a short while ago. GS keeps giving games to people who aren't fans of that genre. Greg doesn't like JRPGs, Jeff only likes blood and boobs games. Stop giving them games that they don't like. GS' reviews have gone down the crapper since the redesign.

It's apparent with Greg. I'm sure he's still spoiled with Oblivion (which after the first few hours of awing me, it started to wear off and I lost interest in the game; IMO, not deserving of the 9.6. An 8-8.7 is my range; looking to sell it now.) They really need to fix the reviews though. What is the point of giving the duty of reviewing a game to someone who doesn't enjoy the genre?

How much are ya selling it for?

Whatever I can get for it. I'm having my bro take some 360 games into EB and whatever I get is going towards VP and preordering FFXII CE. From there, I'm saving for PS3 and will probably only pick up 1 or 2 more 360 titles (360 games have mostly been "miss" for me so far.) and the rest will be PS2 titles (sig) and 2-3 PS3 launch/around launch games. That's the rest of my year pretty much. Christmas is the recovery period (or if I don't have the money/can't find a PS3 on launch, then X-Mas money will be a big help) I need to see about setting up a eBay account.....

Well I wouldn't mind buying it from ya as I havn't seen the 360 version in town anywhere and next week I'm prolly gonna put a 360 on layaway.

I'd be happy to. How much? Cause I'll have to get it back before my bro takes it in. I told him to trade in Oblivion, GRAW, FNR3, and X-Men (Obl. and GRAW are going for $32ea + $10 bonus for 2 360 games = $74 and whatever the other 2 + $10.) and to preorder FFXII CE and pick up VP with what he gets.

Hmm, thats actually not a bad price at all, considering Gamestops usual. What are you willing to sell it for? My computer can't run the PC version anymore so my brother bought it from me.

kewl, I'm gonna pick up this game payday...it's getting pretty good reviews across the board :)

And my PSP needs a new game, the DS has been taking all it's attention away from me. :'(

I doubt that'll last too much longer once I get Tekken and this >_>

Well it was pretty much a straight port of the PS1 original. That's probably why it was scored a 7.5. GS usually frowns upon ports and rehashes (not saying that makes this a bad game or anything).

It scored .5 higher than the PS1 version. Though the game deserved a 9+

The PS2 version is another game. PSM had a preview on it and says it is one of the most beautiful looking PS2 games they've seen (really. Look at the screens.) IGN has some gameplay vids if you're interested.

OPM had good things to say about it too. Havn't got around to reading EGM's review of it. I'm still two issues behind in EGM.

EGM gave it a 6.5, 8.0 and 8.0

This might be old, but I just saw this today: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JtPlv7AemIg&mode=related&search= I'm sold. I'm getting this game the second it comes out. :P
