We'll be honest with you. After long delays and total silence from Nintendo, we're not expecting much from Disaster: Day of Crisis. Surely a game is only kept tucked away like this if it's a bit of a dog, right?
Not if the first review is anything to go by. Japanese publication Famitsu has scored Nintendo's mysterious third-person adventure a whopping 34/40, getting 9/10 scores from two of the magazine's four reviewers, according to NeoGAF.
Unfortunately, translations from Japan fail to detail exactly what is said in the review, but a score like that pretty much speaks for itself.
The game's out over here on October 24, which means we should see earlier versions of it soon.
Sounds good, I've liked what I have seen from the videos of the gameplay; but if it does turn out to be decent then that just makes me wonder why its been hidden away.
Typical Nintendo though, no games to buy for months and then several appear on the horizon. Barstewards.
i have zero hype for this and as a result probably won't pick it up any time soon (if at all, depending on western reviews). I am surprised Nintendo has kept it so close to its chest.
Good grief - a must have Wii title? There hasn't been one of these for months. MONTHS I tells ya!
Eh, Wario Land, Megaman 9, Bomberman Blast and De Blob are some of the fairly recent releases with similar review scores.
34/40 is far from 'must-have' territory, even from Famitsu, so similar scores similarly belong in the usual 'meh' category which so characterises the Wii's software library.
Must be for the gameplay story etc coz the graphics look terrible!
Don't get me wrong though, i'm not a graphics whore
Games can be amazing without graphics...but games should aim to match Galaxy. De Blob has done the business, alot of polish. This game has been in develpment for ages...should have had a lot of polish .

I was the only person who believed in this title - good work Monolith (though here's hoping none of the reviews were biased as Famitsu reviews tend to be - remeber the 40/40 for Nintendogs?)!

Just using basic math here but it looks to me like 34/40 is precisely six away from ''must have' territory'.
Do you teach math in the West Yorkshire area by any chance?
