This is a little thing I like to call 'rate the game'.
It's sort of a collective micro-review thing to inform others of what gamers think of games. I'll post a game title that you all give your micro-review on with a little comment.

I'll post a game title each week to vote on. At the end of the week I'll tally the votes and post the average along with a new game. If you'd like to see a game rated, you can post one in this thread.

I'll update it every Saturday.

Format:
-Rating out of 10.
-Major pro.
-Major con.
-Short additional comment.

Obligatory comment:
Howdy folks. I guess you hated the LOTR games as much as I did. That's why EA is awful. Well I shouldn't say anything about them cause I might be getting a job with them... but they still make bad games sometimes. Regardless... this week, we return to a classic in the making.

8/10
Pro: Much improved graphics
Con: Only Five Dungeons!

8\10
-Really fun, easy enough directions
-Short and Wind Waker based

I really enjoyed the game, but as tails put it, it is too short. It almost makes one think that Nintendo rushed to put this one together, but in fact the gameplay was well planned. The Phantom Hourglass should prove to be a worthy sequel to Minish Cap though... hopefully.

9 for me.

Pro - short.
Con - no new game+ or smething to cover-up it's length

Its good that its short because long GBA games tend to be more boring as the game progresses. The bad side of being short? No new game+ or smething to cover-up it's length.

9.5

Pro: Good graphics, lots of cool things to do and awesome weapons

Cons: Kinda boring in some of the dungeons.

I thought the game was actually pretty lengthy but that's me though...

Awesome adventure game I thought.

8/10

Pro:  Gameplay was solid, to be expected of Zelda games.
Con:  Some of the details of the story just seemed odd to me.  A hat that talks?  Just about everyone has a part of those two-piece stones?  The goddess's from OoT are looking for places to live?  Definitely strange.

*beep* sorry to post in this topic again but I just read thadd's comment on EA and:

Its good you put in "sometimes" there. Because recently I just bought EA's biggest title, The Godfather, and I'm pretty much enjoying it.

I really liked Burnout 3... that's about it.

I'm liking a hell of a lot of EA Games.
