![]() ![]() If a game is going to score a 7 then, as NL's own policy dictates, there must surely be some? What are they? I can't find a single paragraph in this review that talks about "areas where the game is blatently let down". Like I say, I'm not saying comparison pieces can't be useful or shouldn't have a place on VC sites with all the duplicating that goes on but I don't feel a review is the place for them as I'd rather read about the game itself and see it judged on its own merits.Īnd thus my point remains. ![]() More detail on the game itself and less details about the NES version might have got across the merits of the game as a piece of entertainment rather than a duplicate of something you feel most people will already be familiar with. The review summary says "If, for some reason, you haven't yet bought the NES version" which makes it sound like you feel it has been a pretty essential purchase in its NES incarnation, but then the game only gets 7/10 which doesn't really scream 'must buy'. Simply stating why its better than another version doesn't help me decide on it as an individial purchase it just tells me that if I do get it I should get this version. There's nothing to tell me why it gets the score it does or why I should or shouldn't consider investing in it, which, in my view at least, is why I would read a review. The bottom line is that after reading the review I have a firm idea that this is a better game than the NES version.but that's all. ![]() If you were reviewing another version of Super Mario Bros then that might be a reasonable assumption but Soloman's Key, while not being outright obscure, isn't exactly the sort of game that is known to the masses. Just because a game is already available doesn't mean people will necessarily know anything about it, least of all 'most' people. ![]()
