Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is certainly making a name for itself, with many people debating whether it surpasses the likes of Mario. The pre-release conversation on the Tuesday letters page was no exception, as readers shared tips for finding cheap video games, and praised the highly rated Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch.
John Atkinson asked if the review embargo for Super Mario Bros. Wonder was up, and was interested to know how a 2D Mario game would fare against Spider-Man 2. The two games are so contrasting, it's hardly a fair comparison.
David shared a clever way to get two games for the price of one. By taking it in turns to buy games and sharing them, he and his friend could each get a game for £35. This is a great way to save money while still playing the games you love.
The reviews for Sonic Superstars didn't reach expectations, and Barry was disappointed. Sonic Mania and Sonic Frontiers are the only exceptions to the cyclical rule, but Sonic Superstars is better than average.
Big Boy Bent praised the familiars in Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch, which work in a similar way to Pokémon. He thought this could be the direction Pokémon was going to go - unfortunately, this hasn't happened in the 10 years since.
James Monnelly from Jersey finished Pikmin 4 and thought it would make an excellent movie. The Pikmin don't need to talk, as they have enough personality already.
Dangeraaron07 suggested moving the star rating at the top of most reviews, as it spoils the experience. Perhaps it could be hidden under a 'click to reveal' button?
It's clear there's a lot of enthusiasm for the video game industry, and it's great to see readers sharing tips and advice.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been receiving generally positive reviews, making it an interesting contender to Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It seems as though the two games are being considered in competition with each other due to their simultaneous release date, even though they are so different from one another.
David has an interesting approach to saving money on video games. He and his friend take turns buying games and sharing them on two separate accounts. That way, they can get two games for the price of one. It is a great way to get the most out of your money, as each game usually costs around £35.
Unfortunately, Sonic Superstars wasn't the special title many were expecting it to be. It's better than average for a Sonic game, but far from the quality of Sonic Mania. It's clear that Sonic Mania and, to a lesser degree, Sonic Frontiers are the only games that have been exceptions to the cycle.
The familiars in Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch are described as being much better than Pokémon has ever been handled. The familiars can be called into battle with elemental and physical attacks, and can be trained and evolved. It's a shame we haven't seen the same type of gameplay in Pokémon games.
Finally, Dangeraaron07 has some constructive criticism for the reviews on the site. He suggests that the star rating should be hidden under a 'click to reveal' button, as it ruins the experience of reading through the review before finding out the score. It's something to consider, as it could improve the review reading experience.
