I'm not too impressed with the synthesized transcription for "Black Powers" here, though it did take me by surprise on initial viewing.
Like I said, I feel hopeful for this; Tantalus could make something good if they keep their heads in the game, and would make a great way to transition what we loved about the GBA version of The Eternal Night over to the DS.
And Robo-Spyro, stop bashing everyone who DOES like it - it's THEIR opinions, and you can't change them so convincingly.

I'm happy the graphic's are actually good, most of the time for the DS the graphic's are bad when they really could be better, but still it all comes down to gameplay.

Okay, I've got to admit it, the graphics did look amazing for the DS.

Grapics=4.6
Xbox360=3.3

I guess that the PS3 and the Xbox360 has a much less favorable chance of having this game released on time. Also the DS version of this game may be released early. smilie

Correct me if I'm wrong, but am I the only to notice that the music sounded like the music used for when you are battling Gaul with Dark Spyro?
It sounded very cool though.

The fact that one part of my initial comment was based on the synthesization (is that even a word?) of said track shows that you aren't the only one smilie

ESRB did say that they would only rate things games 30 or less days from releasing day. And they did give the game an E for everyone a while ago.

No, ESRB rate things and then put it on their site 30 days later, it has nothing to do with the release date.

They did recently start a new policy that allowed publishers to ask them to hold back on showing the rating if they wanted them to but that's only really to stop unannounced games being announced by the ESRB by mistake.

Oh I see. So ESRB is able to rate things many months to a week before the release date. The console rating may come in september, interesting.

PS3 might do it for me since it has no fatal errors, but the PS3 probabilly won't drop the price tag by much.

The game play graphics aren't bad for the DS, but I can't say the same for the music. I agree with Rexy on that one. Rock Band for the DS can tell you that it's more than capable of music, so why the synthesized "midi" stuff??

Well, considering the power of a stationary PS3 to the power of a mobile DS, I am not surprised.
