A little worrisome, but looking at most of their other scores, they seem pretty untrustworthy.

Most of the games don't seem so hot based on these scores. I'll wait for some descriptions and summaries.

Greatest game on that list is One Piece. We need that here in America.

I seriously doubt we need anymore anime games, Mario 1-7.

Ouch! I was almost definitely going to support ths title ,but not if it brings in review scores like this!

I don't put too much stake into number scores, but a general guideline for me is that if the average review score is less than 70 it isn't worth buying right away. There are too many other titles that deserve my money. It isn't that I will never revisit the idea of buying it, but it becomes an optional title if I have enough extra expendable income.

It's a harsh reality for games. I wanted spyborgs to be so good, but if it ended up not so great, I don't want to waste $50. I still want to support Capcom and original IPs, but they should have pulled out all the stops to ensure the game was worth supporting.

I obviously will wait until I see more reviews before I make a final judgement, but a game that pulls in 60s cannot be all the great. Sometimes I feel a game that pulled in 70s is really a 90s range game or a game that pulls in 90s and up may not be my cup of tea and I'd personally rate it lower, so I don't just go off of review scores, but once you start pulling in less than 70, I tend to start agreeing more with the scores and it becomes less about personal interest in a title and more about it potentially being a semi-broken game. I hope that makes sense.

I will definitely be eagerly awaiting more reviews (with text) and scores to do more research.

Bottom line, Scores are pointless without reasoning why.


And they gave the same score to Mega Man 9.

Spectrobes is just as low and got a decent score on IGN so who knows how Spyborgs will actually fare?

Oh, come on.
No need to worry, it's just NGamer.

Yup. NGamer is one of those places that doesn't seem to be terribly impressed with anything that isn't Mario Galaxy. And even THEN........lol

Whatever. This game is going to be a classic Capcom beat em up. I'll wait for more respectable reviews before condemning it. I'm hoping it might be awesome, because I love old school beat em ups. I'm still waiting for a GOOD new Double Dragon.
