I seriously can't wait to get my hands on this baby ;)

For the people that don't like it I know it isn't the most amazing game ever, but I'll enjoy fighting those huge armies and taking in the story. I think its smart the release of this game is so soon to avoid being released near blue dragon, mass effect, gears of war etc.

Now is a very good time to release a game.

If only I could program!

I could quickly tun out Roxwell's revenge 360 and make myself a quick Mill.

You don't need to know how to program they just invented something new where you imagine what you want your game to look and play like and it will happen. The advantage of such game development is that since its generated in realtime via someone's imagination there is no limit to how good the game can look or play regardless of the console's specs.

It will require the next gen format IMAGI though for it to work. :P


Of course this is all made up... until I actually invent it!

It shouldn't follow too long after the usa release I mean every game for the 360 so far has either come to europe first or 2 to 3 days after the usa version.

Hmm true but I'm sure I'd have got wind of it before now if that was the case...I'll get onto the case tomorrow!

Do you know who's publishing it, is it Microsoft still?

It's the Singaporean release date. Hong Kong is getting it at May 25.

The Asian release of N3 is supposed to have 5 supported Asian languages complete with the original Japanese language. The game will maintain the original Japanese audio and we will get the English subs.

I suppose the North American release will be different and have full localization.

I assume you guys are ordering the import version?

So is the English version released on the 8th of June or not ?

How many games have the US seen that Europe haven't for 360, I know PS2 games are really bad for leaving Europe out, I can't think of any 360 games so far, so hopefully all US releases will come to Europe aswell.. (at least MS knows how to look after it's European fans)

This ones a rental for me..impressions haven't been very impressive of the import version imo..it's a beautiful game with beautiful assets, but that's not enough for me. If there's more to it (than a cheap but rather polished Dynasty Warriors rip) maybe I'll keep it..but I'm on the fence on this one..

On the other hand, Table Tennis is out today!

I think its more about the story aspect of things GriftGFX, playing the game through several times unlocking new characters and seeing the story from different perspectives.

Hopefully it has enough replay value to make me want to do all that though :P.

Thing is, Lumines got a pretty lukewarm reception in japan where Meteos fared much better. Yet over here and in the states, the "superficial" merits (because a lot of Lumines is the music and visuals) had the game scoring 9's while Meteos with its hectic gameplay and tinnier sound effects and music got 8's.

With a bit of luck, the gameplay of N3 is fairly standard, but together with the actual understanding of the story - its twists and turns and drama - coupled with the powerful music amounts to something that transcends its hack and slash gameplay that, while decently satisfying, is ultimately pretty basic.

Because in the end, when you take all the music and visuals out of Lumines, Rez and Space Channel, they're pretty damn basic too. Doesn't make them less brilliant though.

It isn't true, and I can't believe this topic hasn't changed to reflect that.
