They gave Lunar on PS a shit review because it was a 1992 game repackaged in 1999 for $59.99. It wasn't even the lunar collection, it was just the first game sold at the same price as FF8 or xenogears.

Final fantasy anthology was also released in 1999 which ported FFV and FFVI to playstation, and this was the first appearance of V in the west. That offered far better value so it got a better score than lunar.

Sandy Petersen (Creator of the Call of Cthulu tabletop RPG and one of the developers of Doom, Doom 2 and Quake) did video game reviews for Dungeon Magazine. Here is his review of Ken's Labyrinth - he is pretty harsh despite it being made by a 17 year old kid and his brother - that 17 year old kid was Ken Silverman, who went on to develop the Build Engine used for games like Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Shadow Warrior, and this was his first game. Considering that I think Ken's Labyrinth is damn impressive but Sandy just completely shits on it.

Ohh yeah they mostly look like shit, Lunar 2 especially. They removed music tracks and all sorts of animations like doors opening. Just saying, shitty as they were they weren't just straight ports. That probably would have saved them tons of money and had a much better end result.

The average game, or anything, is trash. Again, the 80/20 principle - 80% of worth is concentrated in the top 20% of a population. This bears out naturalistically, and it certainly bears out in gaming. A 7/10 game... I mean is there any difference between a 1/10 and a 4/10, in terms of how worthwhile it is to play?

Yoshi island suffered from the curse of the Super Fx.

Gimmicks instead of gameplay

While thats true I still liked their use of Super FX and wish more games implemented it instead of giving us shitty Starfox and Stunt Racer looking games.

Let's see

SMW:
>you can fly
>you can control yoshi as the beast master
>you can shoot fire as a master of the elements
>memorable music, back to back bangers which have become culturally iconic and important to human history
>iconic art style, extremely pleasing to the eye
>very snappy, responsive, and satisfying controls
>very few shitty levels, gradual increase in difficulty feels organic and natural
>very memorable enemies, everyone can name 3 to 5 off the bat
>normalfags can hum a song from the game
>goal of the game is to defeat the evil fire breathing turtle dragon's vast army, who have taken over the kingdom, and rescue the princess and her people from ruin.
>you can team up with your brother luigi for this quest and have an awesome 2player adventure, strengthening familial/friend bonds
>back in the day if you busted out smw in front of a girl and played it with her you were going to have sex

SMW 2: YOSHI'S ISLAND
>mario shits his diaper immediately, he is a baby wearing a diaper, right off the bat the game throws this bullshit at you
>game establishes you as a slave to a shitty diapered baby who is crying nonstop
>baby powerup has him turn into a baby who can walk, he cant fly he can only float
>yoshi turns into a shitty helicopter machine and a dildo shaped submarine for no reason
>baby mario crying nonstop has been linked to giving players migraines and tinnitus
>goal of the game is to get mario a fresh diaper
>very linear design, no real secret exits or paths
>controls are a slippery mess
>has a literal fart sounding soundtrack, yoshis nonstop talkin sounds like farts and shits, baby diaper visual also supplements this theme and drives the creator's obvious scat fetish home
>if you busted out smw2 in front of a girl she'd call you a pedophile and you'd be on a list right now
>yoshi gets high like a degen
>no memorable music
>no multiplayer
>awful chalky artstyle made for babies that did not age well

no-brainer why it is deservedly shit on

When this game came out I thought it was shit and none of my friends who had the SNES would buy it.
Middle schoolers from the early 90's had better taste and were in a better mindset than the grifting collectors and Nintendo onions faggots of today.

Yep. Our school grade point average is a 0-4 point scale and last I looked the "average" gpa was 3.3 now. hell you have to get a 2.5 to be eligible to do extracurricular activities for the school like sports now a lot of times because that considered unacceptably low when 2.0 was originally intended to be dead average. I fucking despise grade inflation

A six from Edge is a really good score though. They've rarely gone above eight, I think there's something like 12 ten scores in the mags entire lifetime of thirty odd years.
