Yikes. Well at least I have Heavy Rain and Bioshock 2 to keep February a great month. Too bad, I had high hopes for this one :(

Not surprising at all. The demo was very unimpressive and too uch of a copy off of GoW for me to take it seriously

I'll be honest, I did not want this game to do as good as God of War 3. But I was hoping AA. This is really disappointing. :(

No real surprise. Oh well, 'least its nothing I was interested in. Won't be much argument in this thread though so I'll spice it up a bit. Probably scored lower for having GoW's button masher combat. Enjoy, SW.

Looks like Viseral Games is nothing more than a one trick pony. At this point they might as well cancel dead space 2 so it will not tarnish the franchise.

Worse than Conan? I thought this demo was better than Conan's demo. Rest of the game must have been even worse.

Frankly i could care less what GS scores games anymore... They gave WKC a 6.0 and I am having a blast in that gaem and loving thi story and gameplay... It's so refreshing to have a game that is like a moderinized SNES/PS1 era jrpg with modern graphics and fresh online features (which GS didn't even play the online or georama...pathetic!) They also gave Legend of Dragoon a 6.0 which was my favorite jrpg of the PS1 era.... yet they gave boring eternal sonata a 8.5 (hmmmm, whats up with that crap?) All the Monster hunter games got 5.0's and I loved every one of those. Most psp games they bash... I really don't respect GS or IGN for revieiws... You see I have something called a brain and make my own decisions about a game. If it looks interesting I will try it, if i am not sure i will look at reader reviews as usually they are done by fans of the genre and don't ding points on games for having simialr elements to others in the genre. So I take Dante's inferno review and shove it. I will find out for myself.

Can't say I'm too surprised. The demo was rather bland. Great cut scenes, but the gameplay was boring as hell.

I knew this was coming, but nope, nobody listened. From the demo I could tell it was going to be around this. I wonder if God of War III will outscore it...? :P

It has a shot, but I wouldn't hold my breath. 6.5 puts the bar pretty damn high for a button masher

I rarely ever (and I mean EVER) want a game to do poorly. But I really want this team to see that blatantly stealing ideas and mechanics just isn't going to fly in this industry. With that being said, I'm glad there will be no more question about it being better than God of War III...

I at the very least expected a good game, I knew it'd be derivative and not be as good as GoW3 but I thought it'd be a decent alternate to it. But man o man, thats a pretty hard flop. I'll still play it but nothing more then a rent. Save up my $$ for GoW3.
