  • i had this game for a week, dont get me wrong it's a god game but i just couldn't get myself into it like battlefield or CoD, and no im not a fanboy, those are just the games i play the most on

  • I agree so much with this review, MAG might have been a bit unoriginal, but the intense 256 multiplayer battles "when they worked" were a thing of beauty, win or lose. It was and is incredible such a game exists, I hope Zipper comes through with MAG 2.

  • I THINK ITS XBOX THAT CAN'T HANDLE BATTLEFIELD & PS3 CAN!

    CUS 256 ,MORE THAN 64

  • naruto games aren't shit asshole

  • @adad87821 Yes they are. In fact, ALL anime sucks.

  • lol just about anything is better than modern warfare 3

  • Comment removed

  • so mag is better then modern warefare 3 :3 fuck off stupid fucking assholes !!!

  • Mag is bullshit hello ?

  • MAG 2!

  • MAG made COD jealous

  • his mom get 0.5 out of 5

  • @littlejayz365 But your mom gets 5/5. She's great at giving head.

  • hey tell the guy who did this commentary his mom is one of the laziest titles

  • @Th3Fr33Burd Thats like all the countries that play

  • MAG FAG DRAG PAG LAG STAG RAG GLAG RUG STUG PLUG thats my review suck it awwwww mane

  • @cubsbeliever yeah. plenty but mostly in Japan, Australia, Britain, and the US

  • Are people still playing this?

  • who calls maps Boards?

  • I wanna get this game for Christmas but do people still play online?!?

  • Yeah I know

  • I swaer to god this game reminds me of Homefront, did they use a the same engine for this game, just slightly better?

  • @Psychocide This came up before "Homefront"

  • @mkewl209 I know...but it looks the same graphical-wise.

  • @Psychocide The question is, is that a thumbs up for MAG or a thumbs down for Homefront?

  • MAG: The first game that actually makes me somewhat sad that I have an Xbox instead of a PS3. However, given a choice between MAG and HALO, I am happy that my needs still lie predominately with HALO :P

  • DONT HATE ON NARUTO

  • @Darkfoxz8743 naruto is for kiddy fagz

  • Adam doesnt review many of the games he VOICES. He Voices the reviews.

  • I love mag! Second favourite online shooter out there! (First is BFBC2)

  • dude i have not watched xplay in so long

  • Join us Reapers Murder [-^-] my psn is JIMvc2

  • 1:24 looks like a paintball gun

  • @TheL1LxJCx99 thats the medical kit, it shoots a blue mist which is really nanobots that attaches to your wounds and heal you.

  • @swbfwarrior i know i have the game i was just kidding

  • "Or renaming a Naruto game S.teaming P.ile of S.***!" That comment is the most accurate comment ever!

  • They should have just named it shadow war

  • i hated mag

    

  • @korno96 me 2.......ima stick with callofduty and battlefield

  • @korno96 when it came to being a team oriented tactical shooter, it blows cod and battlefield out of the water. BF doesn't let you talk to other squads or have a party bigger then 4 players WTF. MAGs dom and acqui mods are nothing like gamers have ever seen. Plus, what other game uses bunkers, AA, roadblocks etc. the same way mag does? because of this you can attack in a different way every game

  • Game looks good

  • Game looks good

  • lol. steaming pile of sh**

  • i dont ever lag on mag!!but then again it had quite a few updatesn patches..love this game..dont care much of the graphics but still alotta fun!!

  • Wasn't this show canceled? >,>

  • @Patadude100 thank god no.

  • @coolkorsah1 I dont see it on TV though... >.>

  • @Patadude100 its on G4TV. It airs on 6:30 pm or 2:00 am on eastern time

  • @coolkorsah1 Im in AZ, I dont get G4 but my dad does, yet we never see it. Infact on his TV, the channel, just like, died or something.

  • good review unlike ign

  • @PSNfruitrollup11

    yea,

    ign= pro bias xbox fanboys

    xplay=little bias to xbox, but good reviews i can trust. i can see they hella love uncharted

    gameinformer= not sure, someone did say they are bias to xbox.

    gamespot= not sure

    why cant they be unbias?

  • @SONYOFJAPAN They're not biased, they have their own opinion.

  • @Godzillah1

    how come all those sites, and gaming stuff always use gameplay from xbox. the only time i see them using ps3 gameplay is from a ps3 exclusive

  • @SONYOFJAPAN Because the Xbox 360 is cheaper, and there are almost no differences between multi-platform releases, with some exceptions of course.

  • @Godzillah1

    no, thats what you think 360 is cheaper, if you know how to do your math.

    me and the other still think the are using 360 because they are bias

  • @SONYOFJAPAN It doesn't matter, like I said before multi-platform releases almost never have any major differences between each other, with the recent exception of Mortal Kombat. So use an Xbox 360, or use a PS3, it doesn't matter, the outcome will be the same either way.

  • @Godzillah1 Actually, the 360 has slightly better graphics on multi-platform games.

  • @Alteonify Yeah, slightly better. Overall it isn't much of a difference.

  • @PSNfruitrollup11 Classic Game Room is even better

  • @Lopez4848 Yeah, I know

  • This is why I quit subbing to Game Informer,their a bunch of 360 fanboys who are biast. Their AVP review was laughable. XPLAY is wayy more accurate. A 4/5 is good in my book.

  • MAG is 5 out of 5

  • @james65508

    Definately on the greatest ps3 shooters out there but I'd have to critisize the Valor and Raven soundtracks and 720p graphics (not the graphic style) and the frame rate. But those aren't really anything to ruin a game experience.

  • @james65508 ...no its not...

  • @Gdawg1298 Dude if you buy MAG today its much better :) BF3 might win on graphics but MAG owns every game

  • @james65508 its just a less team,and vehicle oriented version of battlefield.

  • @james65508 Well, it IS fun, but it does have some major balance issues, and it is VERY hostile towards n00bs. you start with guns that have moderate damage against people with uber guns that kill in 3 hits, which kind of sucks, and it has other issues with gameplay choppiness that games like BFBC2 and BF3 don't. HOWEVER, MAG brings a lot of awesome things to the table that no other FPS has, like the leveling tree, extensive loadout system, etc [TO BE CONTINUED...]

  • @james65508 [CONTINUED FROM MY LAST REPLY] and the tactical leadership stuff is great, but that only works if everyone communicates and follows orders, and no one plays selfishly. 4/5.

  • @james65508 yeah but isnt SVER overpowered?

  • @james65508 No, it is not. Graphics isn't up to par, the sound of the guns isn't that great either. But it's a pretty good game.

  • @PatrikN793 Does it look like we really care about the graphics? -_- Look what MAG has to offer us. Motor batteries, Strafing run,AA Gun,Turrets,Bunkers,APC,ect... Not every game has this,so MAG is a great game.

  • @james65508 I've never said that you care about the graphics. But for a game to be a 5/5, 10/10 or what ever, everything about the game should be pretty much you know.. great. And graphics isn't anything great in MAG. I know what it offers us PS3 gamers, and it's pretty good. But it isn't great.

  • @PatrikN793 I know :) SVER pawns COD, Raven pawns halo,and Valor pawns Killzone 3 xD

  • little lagg are you fucking kidding me!?

  • this game is 2/5 not 4 wtf?

  • you gave this 4/5 and gave alien vs predator a 2/5...

  • @TarikThaIraqi23o0

    Because I give AVP a 2/5 AVP sucks trust me check my review on Gamestop.com

  • Yeeeesssss the demo came out yesterday for all users

  • Should i buy this game i was about to today but ive heard before that its not all that good so what you guys rhink??

  • it goes BFBC2>MAG>little big planet>...all the way at the end...COD(zombies is better than it)

  • @hockeybrat95 What's wrong with LBP? Or another way to look at it is to say you complimented it by putting it at the top of your list.

  • @aRMEd8uLL lol i love LBP, just making a point by saying even a game that is meant for kids(but not only kids play it cause it's a good game) it better than COD

  • I don't know, but Mag reminds me a little of Battlefield 2!

  • @Anoush13

    Me too thats a good thing BC2 is awesome. Lol this guy makes fun of MAG the entire time yet gives it a 4/5

    Plus he wasn't that good either. ''Musically adept guineapig'' ? I was like did he really say that ?

  • @psnidDeadsea17 No, it reminds me about Battlefield 2, not Bad Company 2. Two separate games. I actually liked the review. It made me laugh :)

  • so funny, "Squirt pistol and a napkin to wipe up your own remains off the battlefield"

  • LIEK CALLIHN A NAREWTOUH GAME A STEEMUHM PAEUL UV SH*T

    On-topic: This game does look cool. Curses it's for PS3.

  • 4 out of 5 give it a 5 FUCK CALL OF DUTY MAG KICKS ASS

  • anyone who has mag and is a valor

    add me

    ChaosStorm57

    i want to make a clan and play serious with friends so add me !!!

    YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MIC

  • This looks fun!!! I think I'm gonna buy. Do peoples still play?

  • @Daimen555 o yea they do theirs no problem at all finding a match even the bigger 256 player ones

  • Mag sucks you can't even throw a grenade without stoping and cycling to it

  • xplay is bull****

  • i though MAG stood for Magizine as in magizine of ammo

  • the guy sounds like a actual PRO

  • your moms anoying

  • i was extremely disappointed in this game

  • I love MAG because it is the most realistic MMOFPS I've ever played. Unlike Call of Duty, there aren't many run-and-gunners. In this game, you actually have to use team work, which I love.

  • @KevinScottFries

    Far from it.

  • @R96069 If you're going to share opinions, at least be more descriptive on WHY your opinion is so.

  • @KevinScottFries

    The most realistic FPS is sadly, BFP4FREE, if you'd only said FPS I'd say ArmA 2, or Operation Flashpoint right away.

  • @R96069 And why is BFP4FREE the most realistic? As I said before, if you're going to share your opinions, at least be mroe descriptive on WHY your opinion is so.

  • this game...made me want to punch babies

  • MAG is better 

  • they gave mag and bfbc2 the same rating? adam just lost some major respect.

  • (example of generic comment on any video involving MAG) omfg battlefield is better DUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I clearly haven't played it DUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR!!! I have no life, and no sense of teamwork... DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR!­!!

  • Mag sucked battlefield came along and everyone forgot about it

  • lol hahaha this is really funny

  • rolfmao "thats why it get a 4" im like awww dayum..."out of 5"

  • should get 3 stars in my opinion....

  • MAG is better than MW2

  • if reviewers compare games for graphics, they should compare withy Killzone 2, not fuckin MW2

  • @thereviewer1234 they shud compare them to Crysis Warhead it has better graohics than killzone 2 fag and it will have bttr graphics than killzone 3 aswell so gtfo

  • @Ext3rmin8er101 well, at least i didnt have to buy a 2-3 grand computer to play a certain game. So thats a stupid ass move on your part. so you can STFU and let me be happy with the money i saved, douche bag

  • @thereviewer1234 i believe that you are the douche bag, as i did not buy my PC to only play Crysis, but also COD Black ops, F.E.A.R 3 and more. Plus, the PC is a better long term investment as multiplatform games are usually cheaper on it.

  • @Ext3rmin8er101 i just think its funny how i spent not even a quarter of what you did and yet i still get the same games you do, expect crysis of course. and yeah, the games are not as sharp as the pc but its not that much of a difference. Apparently you didnt realize that when you bought your mulit thousand dollar computer when you couldve gotten a lot cheaper machine for less than $500. So its a win for me, and loss for you

  • @thereviewer1234 Not that much of difference? The console versions= Pc versions medium settings

  • @thereviewer1234 Not that much of difference? The console versions= Pc versions medium settings. maybe a bad example, but check out the old xbox version of Doom 3.

  • @Ext3rmin8er101 the doom is actually a good example cuz the xbox version did kinda sucked. But highest settings for a game could maybe easily crash a pc and yet the game is still the exact same for the consoles, except the graphics. If i was a graphics whore i would have a pc but im not, so i bought something a lot cheaper unlike you

  • @thereviewer1234 running a game highest settings will NOT crash a PC. even if your PC has no graphics card, you can still put the game on max settings, but you will get 1 frame per second. Also, console versions tend to be more prone to slowdown, just check out the ps3 version of The Orange Box. And i am not a graphics whore, i also play StarCraft, Diablo 2, F.E.A.R, Serious sam and other old games like that.

  • @Ext3rmin8er101 but you probably bought a pc mainly for the graphics, right? and if your right, the pc wont crash, instead it'll have 1 frame per second. practically the same thing. and slowdown? what, like lag? ive never played the orange box so i dont know if you're even right. but every game i've played had no "slow down", except for the piece of crap Two Worlds.

  • @thereviewer1234 Having 1 frame per second in a game is not the same thing as it crashing. It just means that the game will lag. "Slowdown" refers to a games' framerate dropping below 30 or so frames per second. (60 frames per second is perfectly smooth gameplay, 30-40 is good, but it may lag when a lot is happening on-screen). However, i will admit that not only console games are prone to slowdown. The PC version of GTA 4 is crap even on a good enough PC. And you are right, two worlds was crap.

  • massive awesome game.

  • Yo Adam, we get it! MAG might be a lame title for this game, but you don't have to keep coming up with acronyms for it!!!!

  • Adam ripped on this game throughout the entire review almost, but gives it a 4/5? Weak Review!

  • @austiiiiiin

    Yeah, I woulda given it a 3

  • You don't see the movie industry always compare movies to Avatar, Titanic, The Godfather, Star Wars, etc.. So why does the gaming industry do that? It's called Thinking Outside the Box. Try it sometime, game developers.

  • MAG is so much better than Mw2.. Barely any lag, when i say barely i mean i sitll lag but not as much as Mw2 OR black ops. black ops i have been disconnected, unable to start matches, timer stops at 1 second 3 seconds or looking for player for about an hour. I swear to god Zipper needs to make a MAG 2 Better guns better everything. Its the only game that can support so many people with no lag and is still fun.

  • this isnt suppose to be mw2 its a tactical shooter

  • I hated mag

  • MAG was such a great game but it never got popular enough or enough team players which made it kinda of boring. it was always apain when your doing good trying to get the objectives and you turn aroudn and see your team hidding behind boxes and walls

  • @pressApressB lucky, I got all of the laggy players.

  • @1337lolguyman lol that sucks ive played with them too i ahe when your unloading your clip into someone and you drop

  • @pressApressB seriously, all of my friends think I am lying when I say that happens. I sold the game and haven't touched my PS3 since then. I am now really hoping to get StarCraft 2 for Christmas (I hope that isn't offensive to you).

  • This game was so horrible

  • @9cloudersprofile Hey can you explain why because I'm thinking of getting the game for Christmas but I wanna hear people's opinions on it. Thanks

  • @GoldenAkCallOfDuty4 Alright,my PSN is 9Clouder,I am NOT a 360 owner,im one of the few people on here that tell it how it is,as I STILL own this "Steaming pile of shit as he said",1. There are really NO DIF between the factions,all the pro people play as one faction,and there are three,YOU CANT CHANGE FACTIONS ONCE U CHANGE!The guns are all sound,look,or shoot crappy,and u have to spend soooooo much time to even get one gun,and once u get that,u have to spend double,if u want more,pm me,so much

  • @GoldenAkCallOfDuty4 the game is actually nice once you get along with it, its pretty different of many FPS´s, you can maybe like it or hate it. but i think there are better games out there, heard of Metal Gear Solid 4, or Battlefield BC 2, or maybe Singularity?

  • RAVEN :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • much

    assholes

    gaming

  • @iiilikeps3 Perhaps if you say Many, instead of Much, it'd make much more sense.

  • @DragonLight369

    but it won't sound so good xD

  • This reviewer is too funny.

  • This reviewer obiously can't play FPS games. I had a buddy getting 35kills+ with the first AR.

    Its the best FPS on the market. Biggest game with the least lag.

  • this reveiwer i a prick

  • good

  • Great review

  • The Latest Update MAG 2.0 is Released It Has, Improved Graphics, Improved Game Engine, A Supply Depot(Gun Store) A Better Skill Tree, An Escalation DLC Pack That Will Be Released(Which Comes With 9 New Guns, 3 For Each PMC.)Now Theres More and More Players Online Daily. This Game Has More To Offer In 1 Update Than mw2 Has To Offer In The Whole Game, and 2 DLC Packs.

  • THIS DID NOT JUST GET A 4 OUT OF 5.. He complained about the game the first 200 minutes then all of a sudden said a few good things and it gets a 4? This games a 2/5.

  • @NatePoky He did that because he thinks it's a "haha" factor to bash a game. And 2/5? If you haven't played this game, then stfu and gtfo. If you have played this game, and still rate 2/5, you probably were playing in a shitty squad, where the squad leader didn't do anything, and no one worked together. However if this was not the case either, then I do respect your opinion Sir. You wouldn't believe how many MW2 fgts bash this even if they've never played this. No hard feelings meant.

  • @JayXombie I've played the game a good 10 hours. I was really hoping to get into it, but I couldn't. I fucking hate Modern Warfare 2, it's overrated as shit. I'm a Fallout person, but still. This game's not a 4/5. Maybe it's deserves higher than a 2/5, but it's definately not a 4/5.

  • @NatePoky I agree, CoD makes me sick, honestly. I play MAG for the quantity, not quality. I also play it because I have a really fun clan that keeps me entertained 24/7. Of course this game is not 5/5 or even 4/5. Maybe it really IS a 1/5, but Zipper was the first to get on the idea of 256 players, and I applaud them for it, even if it turns out a flop.

  • @NatePoky Oh thank you! I much rather hear some trolling youtuber's opinion than Xplay's. God i almost thought this game was good!

  • @ClovePsyKoz Because I was really trolling, right?

  • I bought this game yesterday and I took it back to gamestop today cause it sucked donkey cock.

  • i call bull shit. ill bet its like every other console game were half the people don't have mics and the other half just run around with there heads cut off

  • mag sucks sry but its too big and it is very unbalanced (pellet guns v. 7.62mm/ kfc butterknife v. 10ft long sword and pistols.... come on, 17 rounds srysly......... 17 in a pistol, my .22 only holds 15 so wtf?

  • @TheSwampcritter dude mag is one of the best shooters out there

  • @TheSwampcritter wow ur a fail kid.

  • @TheSwampcritter hahahahahahaahah. your .22.....please shoot yourself with that. hell, it'll probably take you a few of your 15 rounds.

  • @marchisballin11 wow dumass i shoot snipers in the head and it takes 2 all they got is a ski mask on and .22 is a small bullet onlt to be beat by the .17 which is smaller and the pistols are 9mm no? so its a bigger caliber which means less clip space but for a cal. 3x a 22 and still have more rounds per mag. if thats not the definition of BS i dont know what is

  • Most

    Awesome

    Games

  • @Wa133D95 first and foremost learn how to spell, valor aint only rednecks, when you start it lets you choose pmc , valor , sver, raven . Valor is made of mexican , united states , canada , u.k soldiers. Mag is a awesome game , just level up to upgrade health , weopons etc.... Mag is the best!

  • I found this game too much like battlefield and i dont like batllefield. It also has unmemorable maps,

    Btw i am level 18 so dont say i havent played this enough, its just too boring for me

  • @extremeloco23 obviously u wont remember the maps because THEY'RE LIKE 5 MILES LONG in the domination maps.

  • @GOOSEBUMPS188 Yes i know , but is that a good thing ? i dont think it is, Every map feels bland and you never remember any map. Havign the maps so unmemorable that you just dont care about them. In other shooters e.g. socom , i wish i get urban wasteland because i love the hostage room, the yellow building, etc. It makes the maps likable whereas in mag i did not get that feeling, i have played mag alot and i dont like its maps. My opinion ..

  • MAG = BF2 wannabe and no I'm talking about BF2 for the PC not that POS BFBC2 they released on consoles.

  • @Freemon34 its the same shit

  • the shooting mechanics of this game are probably the worst aspect.
