I loved MUA 2, it's fun all hell, but only if you're a comic book fan really. Even the worst bits of DMC 2 piss all over it, and DMC 3 doesn't even know where to begin disrespecting it.

Average scores of 8.5 is bad? Especially for a comic book game?



8.5?

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360 ... alliance-2

73 is "mixed or average". I guess the complaints I heard were in comparison to the first game, which rated almost 10 points better on average: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360 ... e-alliance

Crash Bandicoot 2. So far, I've had two thoughts: the longer I spend playing PS1, the less terrible the graphics look, and man oh man did some PS1 games totally waste the PS1's sound capabilities. Crash 2, for example, has music that wouldn't be out of place at all in an N64 game, even though it's on a CD.

I thought it was still a fantastic platformer aside from that fact

I like it a lot too, I was just pointing out some things I noticed about it.

I made it to level 100 of bubble bobble without much trouble. Level 100 is crazy.

Suikoden III. I got about 90% of the way through this when it first came out. Not as good as the first 2, but better than IV at least. It makes me sad to think the Suikoden team no longer really exists :(
