Famitsu scores Pokemon XD

[Misty]

Pokemon XD: Yami no Senpuu Dark Lugia (GC, Nintendo): 8 / 7 / 7 / 7 - (29/40)

Really, kind of expected.

According to GameStats.com, Famitsu gave Colosseum a 9/8/8/8 (33/40).

Of course, since XD appears to be little more than just Colosseum with added areas, a younger protagonist, and different set of Shadow Pokémon, I'm actually surprised that they didn't score it even lower, like 7/6/6/6 (25/40).

Meh, too bad. There was still a part of me hoping it was at least a little better. I know I'll still end up getting it because my younger brothers wants the lugia, but a little disappointing.

 

[Misty]

Note that Famitsu has a history of being pretty tough. This isn't necessarily a bad score, and further we don't have the real review.

 

[bell02+]

no, I know how hard famitsu reviews, I was just hoping that maybe it would at least get a 30-32/40

It's Yami no Kaze!
I don't understand why everyone writes Senpuu. Who invented that nonsense?

EDIT: WTF even play-asia wrote Senpuu ...

 

[Zhen Lin]

The kanji says 旋風 senpū but the furigana says カゼ kaze. The furigana is in tiny, tiny print, and often omitted in writing, so...

Also, welcome back from Tōkyō. I trust the earthquakes didn't affect you much.

Oh I see. But in the comercial movie the voice says kaze and I think at other things I also heard people saying kaze

Thanks. Hm no, Once the elevators in the hotel were shut down because of an earthquake but I didn't feel any earthquake o.op Were there any in Nagoya?

 

[FireEmblemPride]

I also heard Kaze in the commercial, and it means wind. I think the real meaning in senpuu, but kaze for younger kids or something.

 

[nYoo]

Hm and what does Senpuu mean? Also wind?

 

[Zhen Lin]

旋風 senpū means Whirlwind - probably referring to Dark Lugia's signature move. It's pronounced kaze, because senpū is ugly and unpoetic.

What do they rate? Graphics / Music / Plot / Gameplay?

 

[V Faction]

Those are actually the scores of the individual raters. All 4 of them rate it out of a score of 10.

Ohhh, now I get it. Hehe. I thought it was like those old-fashioned mags that rated those aspects...

But if they're rough, as it's been said, then those scores are quite good.
