No, they weren't. But BAR's shortcuts and lack of gravity are, I'd say, ripped straight out of Rush...
Quote:2 handles not quite too shitty if you customize the hell out of the controls, but with Rush 1 it is totally impossible to get decent controls.
2 and 2049 are meant to be customized so everyone can get it a way that they like it... I've only played 1 in the arcade (and only a couple of times) so I can't comment much about that one.
Quote:You're so full of shit it's coming out of your ears, ABF. So I suppose Metroid Prime is a "safe" game because it got such great reviews, and Enter the Matrix is just a misunderstood masterpiece.
That hypothesis would only be valid if ETM had some HIGH scores, you know. I bet it didn't, so you are wrong.
i just checked. ETM got scores between 40% and 86% (and just two sites scored it an 80 or above), with averages (for the four platforms) between 66% and 71%. Not exactly like Rush scoring between 60 and 99, with lots of scores high but also many in the middle. Not even close. Actually it proves my point! Rush is a love or hate game. The poor or mediocre reviews reflect people like you -- the ones who don't get it.
Metroid Prime? That's just a great game. "Safe"? Hmm, probably not, it was not your typical FPS or action/adventure... but it was just so great in every way that that didn't matter. :)
