Best Ikaruga review

[FF6]

I saw this on another page and thought some of you might enjoy it.

The review was kinda entertaining. It seemed like more of a rant then a review actually. At least the person showed some passion though, that's something that is truly lacking in game journalism.

I loved the shots at Tekken. After reading that, I can't think of Heihachi without images of Werther's Originals dancing through my head.

Pretty funny review, but I like both Ikaruga and Tekken, so I'm conflicted. Why do I have to find great enjoyment in too many games?

[djbeatmongrel]

very indepth :roll:

[BHvrd]

Mmmmm, purty pics. I like reviews with purty pics. I like chicken too, mmm.

Maddox rocks the house. For those of you who have not read his site, go back to it (with shame, no less) and read everything on the page and archives. Some of the funniest stuff I have ever read. Yes, it is a collection of rants, but they are funny rants.

[Jorpho]

Maybe the rants were funny the first few times I saw them, but now they just seem arrogant and sad.

Well, he IS right at least about the game being hard. I have no shame in admiting I've worked on that for six months and I STILL can't beat the damn game. x_x

BTW, Zach, what the heck is your new avatar? :eek 2:

Oh. Sorry, I, uh, never have seen the show. :embarrassed:

Maddox is a profane idiot. The first sentence of his Ikaruga "review":

"If you suck at video games, don't bother reading this review because this game is hard and I don't want whining retards who can't pass the first level bitching to me about it."

This isn't funny, this isn't witty, this isn't well-written. This is the childish ranting of yet another Web-empowered moron.

Actually, he doesn't even believe in most of the stuff he rights about. He put a writing about things he hates up a while back, and it was popular, so he kept doing angry rants. He finds it funny that anyone really cares.

I'd be willing to be he would agree with you. If you try to take them for anything more than what they are (poorly written rants about nothing of worth), you'll be disappointed.

Deinfetly one hard ass game. Im having much more of a hard time on this than any other shooter ive ever played. Sheesh, and Im playing this game on easy. Im am getting better.
The best part is that it's a hard game but sooooo much damn fun that I keep going back to it.

Anyways, This guy gives half a Ikaruga review than half a Tekken review. He goes way off topic. But it was funny and intertaining.

I dunno. I laughed. I'd still rather read "the childish ranting of yet another Web-empowered moron" over the flaccid opinions of self-appointed experts* in the media 99% of the time.

Besides, in this case, it strikes me as hilarious that anyone could take something so obviously over the top seriously or even care what some schmuck thinks about something. Why people get their panites in a wad when some critic slams something they like, I'll never understand.

I've read the Maddox Iky review before.....its more of a rant against crap filled modern gaming than anything else.

[SegaTecToy]

Ikaruga is one of those games that comes along, kicks incomprehensible amounts of ass, but nobody notices because everyone's too busy playing dog shit football games. I don't get it: they re-package the same shitty football games every year, update a few stats, call it a new game and millions of suckers keep buying them.

Sadly, some things he says are very acurate...

[SoulBlazer]

Oh God, not the football rant again..... x_x

They do more then that every year or I would'nt keep buying the new one. Of course, it's impossible for me to convience anyone of that.

I just never liked 'non serious' reviews. ;)

He was just another moron... until a random encounter with the Internet gave him powers far above that of the average human being. Now, he fights jocks, McDonald's, and the designers of Tekken as the mighty hero known only as...

MADDOX.
