How are we supposed to respect the ''no file download'' rules if we are to make texts for reviews?

By the way, if I make a year old game review would that work? I'd like to make a Digimon World Dawn/Dusk review, and maybe a Worms Open Warfare 2 as well... and maybe an Animal Crossing City Folk review if you don't mind

[Kayorei]

Giga: Interesting topics. I'm not sure how those would fit, but I'll see how I can make it work.

NeoArashi: Nothing is stopping anyone from just putting the text straight into the submission message. That was the intent. As for the reviews, any game is fine so long as it's not too recent (less than two weeks old = too recent). The three you mentioned are fine, and it's good that someone's filling the void. Three pages into the thread and you're the first to volunteer to make a review.

Another Question Kay, if I do a Recruitement guide for digimon world, would it be ok if I sharked to get my digimon to have max stats. After all, stats only affects what digimon your digimon will evolve too, not how digimon will join your city. That would be a lot easier especially since I'm making a 100% city recruitment guide :S

[Kayorei]

Do what you have to. Just make sure to keep it perfectly clear that it was done solely for the purpose of making it easier to recruit the 'mons and that stats have no bearing on which ones you can and can't recruit.

[LightEffexor]

Okay, then. *removes the Silver playthrough (not from YouTube, of course)*

[Inebriated Gamer]

Plan to do reviews. My first is on Wario Land: Shake It! I got it finished, just waiting for Kay to accept it.

[Onishiba]

Ooooo, reviews are allowed, too? For oldschool games, as well?

The more recent the game reviewed, the better, but try to keep the game older than two weeks.

I guess that COULD work, fay, but seeing as Kayorei asked for recent games as much as possible...

Hmmmm... I was gonna say that I wanted to do Donkey Kong Country 1 and 3 but I'll try to make a deal here and I'll do one and you do three?

Since your doing 1&3, I can do a 100% walkthrough/playthrough of DKC 2.

[Crawdaunt PWNS!]

Hum, hum... I guess I'll give it a try with a first review now...

By the way, this text assumes you don't know me, and is a downloadable text file (I copy/pasted it through a text file, and I dind,t bother copying the bold parts)


Digimon World
Dusk/Dawn

A review by NeoArashi


Hello everyone! My name is NeoArashi, and as you may expect, I like video games. One of my favourite series has always been (since 2000) Digimon world. My favourite game(s)
of this awesome series is Digimon World Dusk/Dawn for the Nintendo DS, released in September 2007. I will review this game by categories, which will be: Story, Graphics, Music, gameplay. I will give a score out of 10 for every categories, as well as some comments. So, I guess I should start someday eh?


STORY

The story is a very simple one: You are one of the new, but with a lot of potential, member of the Light Fang (if you play on Dawn Version) or Night Claw team (If you play on Dusk version) The intro is very different depending on the version: In Dawn, you are in the Final of a group tournament so you can participate in the ''Normal Tournament'' in Dusk, you, your friends and your boss are all training so you can be properly prepared for the Tournament. After you win/lose the tournament, you see a shady character that vanishes just before he gets captured by the local guard. A dya after, Digital city get hit by a digital earthquake and then get attacked by a mysterious virus. You manage to defeat the virus, but the two part of the city, Sunshine (Dawn version's main city) and Darkmoon (Dusk version's main city) gets separated from each other. Then your team starts to suspect the opposite team of attacking your city. Over the game, you will learn the reason the opposite city attack yours. Also, there's a shady Digimon that goes by the name of Grimmon who shows up several time in the game. Near the end of the game, you learn that the opposite team was in fact possessed by Grimmon's virus. You will need the help of an illegal item makers team to get to the opposite city to stop this mess. Grimmon gets the help of the Chrono Core. Upon reaching Grimmon, he fuses with the Chrono Core to become ChaosGrimmon. After being defeated, he digivolves into the final boss: EXOGrimmon.

After you beat the game, there are a few post-game story stuff, which will lead you to become the legendary tamer everyone would like to become.

The story is pretty classic, and not THAT interresting until the very end, even the post-game story is not that great. It's still better than the first Digimon world on the DS

STory: 6/10

Graphics

If you hate first person view RPG battles, then stay away from that game. Yes, the game is one of those Dragon Quest-like RPGs, but with a better battle system. The graphics outside of battle are pretty good. Not as good as the likes of Pokemon or Dragon Quest MOnster Joker, but still good. They can be compared to Digimon World 3's graphics, but in cel-shade. The graphics IN the battles are also nice. The sprite animation is pretty good, concidering there are 398 obtainable digimons (about 406 digimons if you count the unobtainable ones. The ability/Techninque animations need a serious makeover though.

Still, graphics don't make the game

Graphics: 7/10



Music

The music of this game is incredible. There are 3 normal battle theme, 2 of them being very good, and the other is not that bad either. Most music on the dungeons are also good. Darkmoon city's music is better than Sunshine's in my opinion. There is one thing I dislike about the music of the game: The game's msuci library is pretty slim. Many music will be used in more than one dungeon. But beside that, I have no complain at all!

Music: 9/10


Gameplay

Now the fun part. The game is very short, I'll admit, but getting/training more digimon is the fun thing here. If you want strong Digimons, you will constantly have to Digivolve/Degenerate your digimons. AT some points, you can also DNA and Armor digivolve certain of your Digimons. I personally got Omnimon, and am trying to get Imperialdramon Paladin mode. There are 398 obtainable digimons. Many of them are only available in one version, or only after some events. A few interresting things here:

-Instead of only having version exclusive Digimon, there are some version exclusive dungeon as well (example: Task Canyon is Dawn only, and Magnet Mines is Dusk only)
-When you get to a dungeon for the first time, it will be most liekly that you can't meet all possible Digimon in that area. SOme Digimon must be unlocked through Quests before showing up, even if you unlocked an area.
-After completeing the first post-game mission, there will be a bunch of Incredibly strong Digimons unlocked in several areas. These digimon gives massive EXP.

Thanks to this's game's digivolution system, you can ahve any digimon have max stats with many powerful ability. Want a super-powered Agumon? Just abuse the Digivolution system!

Gameplay is perfect in this game, I have nothing to complain about.

Gameplay: 10/10



Overall

Digimon World Dusk/Dawn is a pretty solid RPG for any digimon fans. EVen if you are not a digimon fan, if you are, at the very least, a monster collector game fan, you should give this game a try!

Overall score: 32/40 (80%)

[Crawdaunt PWNS!]

Sorry for double posting, but if I dind't double-post here, no one would noticed I edited my previous post.

I restarted playing Starfox Command, and I though that maybe I should do a Ship analysis, seing as tere are roughly 13 available ships/Characters in the game. Telling in which level each characters/Ships are available, which is the best one for each situations (Normal fighting, MotherShip takedowns, missile chasses) Of course, I can start the Ship analisys guide NOW, but for the latter (which ship ara avialable for each level) I will have to wait 'till I get to all 9 endings.

Just for now, I'll list all playable charcaters, ship's names and stats will come later:

-ROB 64
-Fox Mc Cloud
-Slippy Toad
-Falco Lobardi
-Krystal (Star Fox team)
-Lucy Hare
-Amanda
-Dash Bowman
-Wolf O'Donnell
-Leon Powalski
-Panther Caruso
-Bill
-Katt Monroe
-Krystal (Star Wolf Team)
-General Peppy Hare
-James Mc Cloud

Hmm Kayorei I could make a few reviews (After stealing Arashi's template of course) of games I used to play, such as CRash bandicoot and stuff like that. Is Call of duty world at war too recent? It came out around 1 month and a week ago.

[Kayorei]

Once it passes two weeks of age, it's open for reviewing.

To be honest, I'd much rather be seeing some more challenges. On a side note, I'm also seriously questioning the whole "inherently difficult game" having immunity to the "no plain playthrough" rule. Yeah, I'm struggling for challenge submissions, but when it takes half an hour to watch someone get past one tiny segment of a level... The more I think about it, the less I feel it to be right.

Either way, though, I have enough to open the site with. I just have to review and compile what's been submitted, so I think I'm going to go ahead and close this thread for submissions for the time being so I don't have a never-ending stream of pilot material.

Oh, and no offense, Shinji, but your stuff is taking the most time to pull together by far.

[Shinji-kun]

I'm not surprised, to be honest.
All of those would be about 130 videos?
