After seeing all the previews, and seeing how much people have been raving about it (goto neogaf for instance, the place is very excited for this title) -- it is NO wonder at all that they've given it 93/100.
For me, I think it well deserves the score. The graphics are terrific, the gameplay deep and engaging. The mechanics are excellent and innovative.
This is Game of the Year 2008.
I'll be buying this Day #1.
Only on Planet Sony Defence Force is this even a discussion.
Gears of War: 5.19M sold. 94/100 on Metacritic. Dozens of Awards ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Resistance: 2.97M sold. 86/100 on Metacritic. Uhmm, not so much (outside of "best * of Ps3").
Gears of War 2 is going to DESTROY Resistance in Sales *and* critical reception.
" The 360 is a lost cause in Japan and Microsoft is just preparing the market for next generation because there's nothing they can do to make it better this generation"
blah blah blah blah blah blah. You're talking out your anus. If MS is *anything* they are persistent. They are bringing more Japan-centric games to the Xbox 360 than Sony (japan) is!
You're fooling yourself if you think that Tales of Vesperia, Last Remnant, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undi...
Agreed.
I simply dont have enough time for all these games. It took me 100+ hours to reach the end of Blue Dragon.
I just cant invest that kind of time -- its like a MMO! no matter, Blue Dragon was the best JRPG I've played in years, I loved it.
I'll be picking these up for sure, but I'm going to have to resist the tempation to "see everything" -- i'll have to force myself to "move forward" and not "complete" everyt...
Jetpack Refuelled is just terrific. You should check-it-out.

Its a great challenge, and just so much fun. If they do a sequel, that would be terrific.
Keep up the great work Rare. I cant wait for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise - a sequel to Jetpack Refuelled would be terrific.
What?
Xbox 360 games *vastly* outsell PS3 games.
Do you people even pretend to live on planet earth?
Kameo 650k
R&C: Tools of Destruction 1.26m
Viva Pinata 1.41m
Haze 360k
Crackdown 1.47m
Lair 350k
MGS 4 2.69m
Gears of War 5.19m
WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Xbox 360 games outsells PS3 games by leaps and bounds.
No one is playing PS3 games -- that is clear by...
This game is going to be so terrific. Viva Pinata is one of those "slow growers" games; interesting and cute at first, but it just sucks you in.
My GF loves Viva Pinata, as do I. It has a lot of replay and a lot of depth; we cant wait to get our hands on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise.
Totally awesome new features and more of the stellar gameplay. Its going to be an epic victory.
Rare has hit another home-run.
@1.1
"stop please - almost all 360 games are coming out on all console "
Are you retarded? Can you read?
The ARTICLE ABOVE TELLS YOU OTHERWISE.
Xbox 360 has **more** exclusives (both disc and download) than PS3.
SHUT UP AND READ THE ARTICLE YOU DOLT.
And, to all the "its quality vs. quanitty" Sony Defence Force cry-babies; Xbox 360 exclusives have **CONSISTENTLY** had higher Metacri...
For Xbox 360:
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Tales of Vesperia
Infinite Undiscovery
Left 4 Dead
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
Halo 3 94/100 on Metacritic.
MGS 4 94/100 on Metacritic.
LBP == unreleased. You've never played it. Neither have I. But 3D Lemmings with a level editor == LBP == snore. No thanks.
@7.1
"Get that straight, cause you always bring up the mulitplats on the 360 being better. It`s just not true anymore, if anything 360 versions are having more problems (FrameRate, Installs) than the PS3. "
What dream world are you living in?
What game -- EXACTLY -- has the PS3 outperformed the Xbox 360 version? There are none. ZERO.
Further, WTF are you talking about "installs"?
Agreed. IT is about quality.
That is why I happily own an Xbox 360. The exclusives are stellar (as is widely accepted by reviewing the Metacritic scores) and the multi-platform games are better quality.
I agree with you, Xbox 360 clearly has the best quality titles.
"The year of the PS3 was/is an myth as it always is"
Aint that the truth. The numbers dont lie. The Xbox 360 has been owning the PS3 all year in quality and sales, yet here on alternate-SDF-reality-N4G, somehow its not.
Even when presented with neutral data -- like this damn article -- the SDF is saying "oh, it shouldnt count... blah blah blah".
Its amazing these people go to such great lengths to fight reality.
...
LOL @ the disagrees of 360 Man's comment.
"360 is truly the home for RPGs eastern and western
by september we would have too human and infinte undiscovery
just two more to add to the already long list"
Is 100%, without a doubt, true. No doubt about it.
If you want to play a well-rounded catalogue of games; get an Xbox 360.
Something for everyone. With the New Xbox Experience (NXE) due in the Fall, ...
You get that feeling because you are paranoid and delusional.
The fact is that sales for PS3 are abysmal. The games are worse.
You are experiencing what is called "cognative dissonance"; this is the discomfort you feel when reality doesnt match your well-held and dear (but fictional) vision of the reality.
It's ok. You can seek professional help.
The relationships MS is creating with Japanese devs is paying off for everyone.
Keep up the good work MS.
Tales is going to be *great*. Another JRPG game for Xbox 360 gamers, great. I'll add it to Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata when I get the opportunity.
Kameo is exceptional. Viva Pinata is exceptional.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is looking to be a massive hit.
What part of this is confusing to you? Get your shiat straight.
Disclosure: I've not played Perfect Dark.
BUT, I have played the HELL out of Kameo. It is an exceptional game. From your loud-mouthed nonsense, we can tell you've never played Kameo, because for those who do, they have a great respect for it.
Kameo is one of the most under-rated games of the generation.
And, clearly you've also *never* played Viva Pinata, which, again, is massively under-appreciated.
Sure, both games have a very-go...
Based on the low PS3 sales, and the lagging PS3-game-attach-rates, it shouldnt be a suprise that Sony wants to recover its development costs by selling onto Windows.
No wonder at all, games cost money to write, and they're not going to continue to write games to loose money.
Another PS3 exclusive lost -- instead of selling the PS3 as a BluRay player, perhaps Sony should have concentrated on attracting game players and they'd be able to keep games exclusive.
"I guess 360 fanboys have nothing eles to play ..."
Read this and repeat it:
Xbox 360 cross platform games are consistently better.
Xbox 360 exclusives games are consistently better regarded (see metacritic).
You: are in an absolute dream-land.
