Coolyfett has heard of massive denial, but these replies to this truthful review are very comical. IGN is the gold standard of reviews & really so far there are no games for this new system, that is dated prior to its release. Putting a 3D effect on 2003 graphics may be a nice selling point, but not many gamers are stuck in that age. Now gamers want to beat up IGN for a realistic & accurate review?? There is a word that best describes this sort of whining & crying. No review should stop anyone from wasting 250$. Its a free country, do what you want. Coolyfett

I've never really been a fan of IGN's hardware reviews, really.

They seem to be correct, in my opinion, on a lot of things, but there are always things on the user end. Take battery life: I never spend 2.5-5 hours playing a handheld away from a charger anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Reviews aren't much to come off of when it comes to hardware. I've gotten the first iteration of all of Nintendo's handhelds and I'll keep with it.

PS3 slim is much better because the Fatty is prone to ylod, uses more electricity, has less GB and the fan is way too loud. I also like the slim design better.

Slim

+

• Quieter
• More GB
• Uses less power
• Smaller
• No smears, fingerprints

-

• More freezes
• The cracking noises. The goddamn cracking noises.
• No PS2 BC
• Less USB ports but I never used more than one at a time. So ignore this.
• Not as nice to look at.

Slim. Just.

I've had slim, never played on a fat. I think the slim is better in almost every way, but I could definitely go for some backwards compatibility. :(Razor-Lazor

I really don't know what to say about the score. I'm disappointed that the update in graphics and gameplay didn't help the overall score. I'm going to get it anyway, but from what I can tell, a little bit more polish would have given the game that necessary push it needed.

The problem with Pokemon is the fact that they always do a good job on the series, but not something that warrants an amazing score. I personally believe that given the track record that Pokemon and Nintendo has that they have the ability to craft a phenomenal game that pushes the boundaries of what's possible on the system.

The graphics are just not up to par with other devices like the iphone. It's nothing to be ashamed of. With all the horsepower the iphone has it has the crappiest set of games ever. Don't get me wrong, infinity Blade is really good, it's just not up there with things like mario and Zelda. Nintendo makes good games without the unreal engine.

As for INFINITY BLADE the graphics shouldn't be taken seriously because they achived them with a engine and because the game is nor actually controlled you are just slashing the screen to play. It is just a trick. The problem is that most American developers want gaming devices to have a similar architecture to the one of PC's they don't want to work harder.
