IGN only gives BiA an 8.0 - Jul 01, 2007 12:06

I didnt expect this game to be great compared to a console game, but for the DS I thought it would get atleast an 8.7

8.0 for a shooter on the DS? That' s fantastic if you think about it.


It' s freaking amazing. Played it yesterday. It' s definately on my must-buy list.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

If you like cell phone ports of mediocrity, then go for it.

Otherwise, there are better things to do with your time.

I must admit I never thought a shooter would really work on the DS with the touch screen and everything, but a score of 8 is good.

What about Metroid on DS? Which got a 9 at IGN.

They even thought that the online part with voice chat was almost on the level of PC and console shooters. I guess it can' t be bad.

Or did you mean WWII shooters in particular? That being said, Brothers in arms looks great for a DS game.

Metroid eminates awesomeness. It matters not what console it' s on.

I' m talking about games that weren' t directly created by the hand of God.

If it were mediocre in their eyes, it would have been issued a 6.

If it were anything but then it would average higher than 71 on metacritic and would garner favor in the gameplay department, and not just in the fact that the DS can have a playstation quality game on its system.

We could spend all day arguing about which review is more accurate, but I won' t.

Simple fact is, I' ve played it and you haven' t. Go play it, & I' ll be glad to pick this up, because arguing with you on a topic you' re ignorant of is nothing short of asinine.

No thanks, I don' t purchase mediocrity because it looks cool on two GBA size screens.
