EDGE issue 201 - Little King's Story reviewed & more

Little King's Story - 9 8)

"You couldn't call Little King Story deep, but its replacement of a linear narrative with a single objective that's accompanied by many discrete narratives besides is an achievement many games would do well to learn from."... "Little King's Story is as rich as it is long, and it's a very lengthy game indeed."... It's a game of rare quality, and exactly what the Wii deserves."

this is I believe the 2nd review for LKS. First one being 92% from NGamer. And anyone who knows EDGE know they are pretty harsh reviewers which is the reason why they get so much hate sometimes. So ya, a 9 from them is pretty darn good. Lucky Europe get to play this game in a little less than 3 weeks.

I don't how they could give Madworld a 6 while No More Heroes ( which is a worse game than MW imo ) got a 9 ...

Good for LKS, gonna buy.... BUT what in the unholy **** happened with Madworld´s score?

Is the reviewer braindead or something?

I've been excited about this one since the first time i layed eyes on it.

Glad to see it's getting good reviews, too.

Yeah, there's something about NMH that allows people to overlook its basic flaws that I just don't see. Whatever it is, maybe the Edge reviewers didn't see such a quality in Madworld. It's hard to even guess based on the numbers alone.JordanElek

I feel like i'm the only person who hates Madworld on this board. It's just driving spikes into people's heads, stuffing them in trash cans, and then putting them through a rose bush or spike. There is occasionally an environmental hazard unique to each level and a bloodbath challenge but it still feels repitious. Bosses are basically chainsawing the enemy with shaking the controller during a cinematic attack. I got bored of it by the end of Asia Town.

I preferred No More Heroes because of the story and i never really got bored of the combat. It was fast-paced and hectic and bosses had interesting ways of killing them instead of just slashing them constantly.

Sweet.

Great score. I cant wait for this game.

This game looks very interesting. The next game I'm getting is either Rythm Heaven for DSi, or ExciteBots. After that I'm getting Punch-Out which is the game I'm most looking forward to. I must say, this is the first year on Wii that I've had trouble keeping up with all the awsome games. Still haven't played MadWorld or Deadly Creatures. Great year for Wii.

Its cool it got a 9 but whoever wrote that quote needs to familiarize himself with commas and periods. geez.

Awesome. What's even more awesome is that I'll be able to play it April 24th.

That's an amazing score. I am so happy for the game, now let's hope it sells well.
