Fragile Dreams GS Review

http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/fragilesayonaratsukinohaikyo/review.html

Finally a GS review. I'm reading it right now.

EDIT: 7.0. good score.

Not bad it got worse other places

this game could have been a lot better. There are a ton of annoying little things that really hurt it.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon has its share of faults, but they are far eclipsed by what it does right.GabuEx Review

I C WAT U DID THEIR.

:P

seriously now... so the story is compelling enough to "eclipse" the bad combat? might actually check the game then.

GS gave it a higher score than almost every other source?? Blasphemy!GamerForca

Yeah I'm surprised that they did like the game over some other sources. Even higher then IGN.

Honestly, that was actually completely unintentional on my part. :P

Well, as I said in my review, if the premise of the story interests you, then I would recommend it. It's told very well, for what it is. If it doesn't, however, then the gameplay isn't going to cover for it. This is really one of those games where review scores are pretty much useless. Those who want what it offers will like it; those who do not will not.

Where is the Gamespot bias now?! :PKenny789

The Fire Emblem review.

that was unexpected

nice score

I'll pick this title up eventually, I got the soundtrack off Itunes a few days ago which was suprisingly good as well. I now just feel compelled to get it at some point in the near future.

.....um 7.0, rly? wow GS what happened? OK guys GS isnt biased anymore :P

Yeah, the soundtrack of the game is definitely a huge strong point in the game, understated as it is. The final boss music in the game was probably one of the best final boss tunes I've ever heard in a video game.

Nice review.

I would have bought this game even if it got a 5.0 though as this has been one of my most anticipated Wii games for the last two years.

The Fire Emblem review.

Fairly solid score. I'll be picking this game up in the future. Have been wanting it for awhile now, but I just have so many games in my backlog right now that it's better to wait for a price drop. Still looking forward to playing it though. The game has intrigued me ever since I saw the trailer for it.

That was surprisingly positive. :shock:

Lol at all the people that have been shouting GS bias!

Of course NOW they agree with GS but if heaven forbid GS reviews a wii game poorly its teh BIAZ!!!!11!!!!1

The Fire Emblem review.

I really just think they chose the wrong person for that review. The primary complaint of that entire review was "it's soooo hard" when most FE fans agree it was one of the easiest in the series.GamerForca

Don't forget the lack of Mii integration. You gotta have those Miis.

It's one thing to criticise a review. It's another thing to lie about what a review said; the Radiant Dawn review said nothing about "the lack of waggle."

"Despite being a Wii game, (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn) doesn't make any attempt to use any of the system's strengths, such as Mii support, online support, or motion controls and pointing, even though the advantages of such integration should be plainly obvious." (emph. added)

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] and the lack of waggle. because, you know, turn based strategy games have so much space for waggle commands.GabuEx

Motion controls and waggle are not the same thing. Waggle is a motion control, but not all motion controls are waggle. BrunoBRS mentioned waggle, which is not a factual part of the review.

I've seen people equate the two terms, and even if not, waggle was clearly the most common sort of motion control at the time of the writing of that review.

[QUOTE="osan0"]it seems like a bit of a marmite game but i think its worth a punt.Sancroff

Wikipedia to the rescue. I guess "marmite" refers to the marketing slogan "Love it or hate it." Am I right? Learn something new every day. Thanks!

Another disappointing Wii game :(locopatho

Nothing disappointing about it for me. Was exactly what I both expected and wanted when I first heard about the game.

I had put 20+ hours into the game by the time I finished it. I don't know where reviewers were getting the 6-7 hour figure from; they must have been blazing through the game as fast as they could go or something.

Overall I want this game but I think I'll get it later after Metroid Other M during the summer since their are a lot of other Wii games I want to get too.

I never looked into the game much but I did get a copy of the soundtrack while at Gamestop, good music.

And the complaint about how they were captured at the end of one level and then the next scene just jumps to them being in jail for some reason

That was one of the worst reviews I've ever read

Eh, won't complain about the score. I for one would give it an 8 or something. So far my only complain is pretty much the fighting too. A lock on or something of the sort would really help.
