A fair review, I wanted it to be at least AA though, flop but oh well what can you do.

This game will be lucky to score 8 here, me thinks. Anyways looked pretty "meh" after the demo.

Not the biggest fan of IGN, but that seemed like a fair review. I am guessing the average for this game will probably be in between 7.0 and 8.0 when all is said and done, and that is a good game in my book. Regardless, it is the subject matter that sold me on this game and I am looking forward to it.

Great review. Everything got an 8.0 except for the gameplay and lasting appeal. IMO, im sure most people who want to get the game are mostly aiming for the story, setting & atmosphere. Good to see the soundrack/sound is great too. Can't wait for the other reviewers and for the game itself!

Lots of people said the demo was not so great I think I'll wait for GoW3 and maybe try this game when it hits the bargain bin.

Looks like a solid game. But honestly, step aside Dante, let the real hack and slash king show you how it's done.

This seems like one of those games that gets a wide range of reviews (from 7-9+).

because it's a straight-up clone. like no shame at all.

i mean, when you watch GoW featurettes the devs say they get inspiration from Devil May Cry, but in the end they made a totally different game. Dante's Inferno though, idk. tsktsk. seeing as they made Dead Space you'd think there'd be so much wow factors in this one. lawl.

lol well I guessed 8.5 in a thread here today, I guess if IGN gave it a 7.5 it won't be getting close to that here! I sense a flop on its way ...

I suppose if you played the GOW series this game would qualify on the 7-8 rating. However, if you are one of the people that never played the GOW series, I would bet you would find this game to be a 8.5-9 easily. Reviewers can't give this a game a 9, they would then be forced to give GOWIII a 9.5-10 since we all know it is going to be a better overall game.

Strange. I liked the demo. IGN UK also gave it a 7.0 so I guess that it wasn't a random low score.

No dummy, you can't beat Bayonetta by button mashing, so it's not a real hack and slash. :P

LOL.... the reviewer is an obvious GoW fanboy.

Did anyone read the review or just glance at the score?

The reviewer knocks the game for having unoriginal combat.... sorry but there was absolutely nothing special about GoW's combat, it was shallow as all hell.

I'm sick of this GoW Worship that everyone has going on. GoW is fun, entertaining... but its combat is weak, just watch though... it'll score a 9.0 in gameplay even though the gameplay will be the same as GoW I & II and Dantes Inferno.

I wish people had the ability to remove the fanboy goggles, and be honest...

So GoW's combat is amazing and original in what ways exactly? Prior to this gen did you only own a PS2?

1st question is rhetorical... I've played through GoW I & II, fun games for the most part.... but certainly nothing revolutionary when combat is concerned.

No where in that link does it say "Hack & Slash" has anything to do with button mashing.

In the definition of "clouds" does it say anything about them NOT being rocks? I guess we can conclude that since they didn't rule it out, that clouds do have rocks in them... huh?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/clouds

*check mate* you have no more moves.

In other words... you can't assume that because the definition doesn't make any reference to something that it somehow, magically, includes that which it doesn't mention.

I never said GOW was amazing. Just that DI was an exact ripoff because it is.

So what you are telling me, is that I must go by YOUR definition of Hack & Slash, I'm assuming that it's YOUR definition of course since you have shown NO evidence as to where you have gotten the definition. Your opinion ⊁my opinion.

I agree 100% it absolutely is a ripoff.... so how is it that GoW is sooooo amazing, and DI is such crap? Perhaps you are not one of the people claiming GoW's superiority... I can't tell by your original reply to me, since the sentence doesn't indicate anything other than you believe GoW's combat to be original.

WHich is WRONG!

OMG DUDE.... YOU are the one who posted the wiki link to show me what "Hack & Slash" means... you proved yourself wrong and myself right with the link that YOU gave. We already covered this... next time make sure that the link you provide actually supports your claims, rather than proving them wrong.
