Never Gonna Guess GamePro's Game of the Year
Well in a year that saw the release of many great titles such as Vice City, Ratchet & Clank, Splinter Cell, Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime. One game stood out among the rest at the office of GamePro. That game was none other than Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem for the Nintendo Gamecube.
I don't know how, I probably will never know why, but Eternal Darkness was voted Gamepro's Game of the Year. Ok technically, they had no game of the year, they had all 10 of the editors pick their top 10 games, Eternal Darkess got the top spot from 3 reviewers while every other game got one vote apiece. So what are the thoughts? |
Thats...interesting...ED was good, no doubt...very innovative in a lot of ways...polished too...but I dont think it stood up to some other stuff out there...but I cant complain...
|
you gotta be sh*ttin me, ED does NOT deserve GOTY, especially with so many other amazing games that have come out
|
YAY!
ED:SR is one of the most unique games I've ever played. I thinkg Metroid Prime and Zelda Four Swords are better but ED is prolly third on my list for cube.
|
I agree with it. In some ways it was even better than MP.
|
Kind of late, too!
|
game informer, which i just subscribed to (it was only 10$ for ten issues, and i like the mag) gave vice city game of the year
|
I'm sorry, but what's with all this disfatisfaction with ED? It was definately one of the most unique games this year, and I think my second favourite behind Metroid Prime (SMS, R&C joint 3rd, with Splinter Cell a very close 4th)... I reckon those who didn't like the game were those who bought into the immense hype surrounding the game. It's a shame really, because the game was really awsome, but it was still impossibe to live up to the unbelievable hype.
So maybe I agree with some of you with the fact that Metroid Prime should have got the award, but not for the same reasons :D. |
This is why sometimes games that could be GOTY are released early in the year. With Zelda:WW being released in March, will we still look back at this time next year and say it was GOTY if other great games come out in Nov. and are more talked about still at this time(ie: MP and GTA:VC)

ha, I would have given it to Tekken 4 before ED...
I think most places agree than Vice City deserves the award. I personlly don't care. I would have probably given it to TS2 for being so great despite being a multi platform game. |
I've never played ED so I guess I can't say anything. Except I thought Metroid Prime was really an "above and beyond" game.

Although GTA:VC was a close second... I don't think MP should be the GotY though... *shrugs* it was a great game, but I think I had more fun with GTA:VC, even if the fun ended up not lasting as long as it did with GTA3 :p |
And people always ask me why I don't subscribe to GayPro. Eternal Darkness is a good game but I personally think it's one of the most overrated games on this planet. Honestly, I think IGN, Gamespot, and GamePro are exagerating on this game.
