The whole written part could fit like on a page, a page and a half maybe. I like pics, but I wish they would have gotten a little more detailed.

Well compared to Nintendo Power's recent reviews this is practically a novel. :\

Cool. 94's a pretty decent score. Guess it's gonna be worth folking out 35£ to get HeartGold.

Even good remakes of don't typically get such high scores, considering remakes aren't completely new games.

This is certainly a good sign. :)

Cool, it's the same price in Game and HMV, I wanted to subscribe to it, my mum said she'd prefer just to buy them as they come out. She thinks it'd be too hard to unsubscribe XD

Starting to stray a bit off-topic here, so a reminder to discuss the review itself more rather than whether you subscribe this magazine or not. =P

Still pretty upset about them taking away a cornerstone of the Game Corner. Seriously, it's been slots since 1995! And I also like the card game they introduced in the original GSC (precursor to the RSE Roulette).

RSE Roulette is not much fun without a gun, but since we've got the EU, we must make do without one. (Sucks!)

Im surprised I got the reference. XD Im fine with the new game but it would be cool if they included the slots as well.

I can't believe they would even take away slots. Everyone is becoming too politically correct and all that. They could have just changed the rating.

Hey guys, starting to fall a bit off-topic here again. If you wish to discuss the loss of the Game Corner slots, then you can do so here in this thread, http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=207207. Other than that, please leave this thread to discussion on the ratings and review of HG/SS.
