I will never trust anything they review ever.
Black is always going on about how everyone else's games are boring. How does this guy think he is? Good for you gearbox.
something special.
Ign says it's 5-6 and so does GI. That seems much more likely.
From several sources i've heard this game is 5-6 hours he's just a speed demon. I don't like how the reviewer pointed to that for the reason it didn't get perfect. These kind of games, puzzle platformers, shouldn't be long. I finished Portal in 3.5 hours and felt accomplished, I would have got bored if it was something like 10 hours.
He mentions the achievements being hard. Does anyone know why they are so hard or a general idea of how to achieve them?
Infamous and GT5p (albeit an extremely fleshed out demo)clearly sold in stores. WipeoutHD is a great game and that point holds, but using "retail games as downloads" as your argument is weak. Your comment reeks of sony fanboy-ism
It's such a charming game.
I read the review and didn't agree. I read most of EG's stuff and almost never agree. You brought up one example in UC2. It was GOTY obviously they would rate it high. That was a bad example. With everything there are exceptions.
Don't abandon the game cuz EG gave it a 6. I would have never had my inner child cry happiness when I played transformers, if I listened to EG.
I hate EG. Their so pretentious and uncomprimising in their reviews. They underate anything good and overate clear middling games like Singularity and CD2.
It's arrogant to think reviews don't matter at all. If you're gonna spend your money, you want to get a general idea of what works and what doesn't. Reviews or word of mouth are essential to your pre-conceded notions. They aren't always good, but are almost always informative.
8.5 seems to be the consensus. Good to hear!
His reviews are so widly blown out of proportion. Give it a break. It's a $15 xbla shooter. It's main problem is hat it isn't anything special. It's ok,not deplorable.
Hopefully :)
I played the demo and it just felt so vanilla. I played snoopy flying ace and downloaded that instead.
Looking foward to it next week!
I love how you are declaring this game a flop on this review, rather than much higher reviews everywhere else on this site.
you gave that garbage a 10? I can't help but question your credibility.
I already read and reported this.
EDIT: I see,it does have a score. This review is very peculiar and doesn't follow their usual structure. Good review but very oddly done.
EDIT #2: They added the score to the actual article now.
