Yeah, for a few days I was beginning to think PS0 was being severely neglected, cause there has been only 2 official reviews of the game. The main video game news/review site I follow, 1UP, finally put out their review.Honestly, I really don't like this guy's review. I don't feel like he fully justified the score he gave, and his negative slant on pretty much all of his reviews makes me grit my teeth (whoever lets him formally write for 1up should be reprimanded). What do you guys think? Did this review do the game justice? I'm still puzzled by the lack of media attention this game is getting (as far as I can see at least). Hell, I have never even seen the game at any stores in my area (bought it online, even though I pass by stores daily).
I thought that the point of the game was to draw in new players to the PSO experience, but it's relying mostly on word of mouth and the Nintendo Power review.It stings a little that the only other review doesn't sound too positive, but B- is I guess not a very bad score. For a DS title that is able to pull off what this game does and that offers a free and enjoyable online experience, I think it deserves higher though.

I don't think PSZ should get a A or some other ungodly score, but it deserves a lot of merit. It's one (of hopefully two) attempts to bring a series out from the pit of failure, as many people have condemned the series to be in.
A feat such as that, as Zero has demonstrated, should be mentioned in a 'quality' review. Welp, I'll be finishing my own review of it over the weekend, and it'll get posted right under his for good measure.pixel i saw you come online as Hard Humilias stomped me to the ground for the seventh time!
