Formula One Championship Edition (PS3) - 4
Arma: Armed Assault (PC) - 5
The Sims Live Stories (PC) - 5

"Worse, the steering is woefully and systematically imprecise, as if the player is on a sled with rubber reins. Your actions do not translate directly to movement; you steer, you wait for the driver to catch up. And when he does, the car lurches inwards; the moment at which it does this remains for you to guess, as there are no audio or visual clues. And despite the van-full-of-lead feel on turn in, the cars are all ridiculously twitchy in a straight line, making them hard to place. Subtle alterations are near impossible. Accuracy is near impossible."

The latest 1up Yours podcast also spoke about this (John Davidson - a UK driving game fan checked it out). The control is terrible with all driving assists off, yet the game is too easy with them on. They agree with Edge in that the game plays like the terrible EA series.

I assume you meant CoD2? If that's what you meant, then GS actually has a lower score than average.

No, I meant God of War 2, sorry I misspelled it. It scored a 9.7 on IGN and 360 fans said this is GS not IGN.

yes thats true, but i highly doubt that a game that got a 4 out of 10 will get a good score here on gamespot. Lets be logical here, F1 wont get higher than a 6.0 on gamespot

Ah, I see your point. I don't see why Lemmings would get worked up over it though. It IS a last gen game, after all.

I don't understand first they say its unresponsive and then they say the cars are too twitchy. Maybe they just don't understand that formula one cars are twitchy by nature seeing as they are going 200+mph. gamespots preview as well as ign preview seemed much more positive and until I see the full review can't really judge it by just a blurb needless to say I'm predicting AA here at gamespot and ign.

They gave Arma a 5 and Supreme Commander only an 8. Kinda hard to take what they say seriously.
