"The Last of Us is not just the finest game that Naughty Dog has yet crafted and an easy contender for the best game of this console generation, it may also prove to be gamings Citizen Kane moment a masterpiece that will be looked back upon favourably for decades"

The Naughty Gods have done it again.

-Reads like a preview

-No specific details

-Fu**ing Empire??? Seriously???

-Early review with a 5/5 score

 

Who cares? I mean, seriously? I could write that review right now and it would mean just as much. We know it's going to be a good game but what a terrible, terrible review.

It was a HORRIBLY written review, no doubt about it. The game will still be amazing, though.

Naughty Dog are great developers, but i've bought games of theirs that didn't live up to the hyperbole that gamers and press spew about them so i can't get excited for this.

Will probably rent.

5/5 review from the Internet's best gaming website, truly, the Citizen Kane of video games.

No matter how excited you may be about this game, you can't argue that this is a terribly written review.....5 paragraphs with very little detail? :|

This is a review from a paid professional so no your review wouldn't mean as much.

He's a professional journalist sure in the broadest sense of the word, doesn't mean that review wasn't terrible. I think I'm being a bit hard on it because I'm sick of seeing reviews like this in any media, be it a good review, or a bad one. The only time I can excuse them is when they're working to an incredibly small word limit, but he's writing for a website not a magazine, there shouldn't be a limit.

The length doesn't matter so much as the actual writing. It's horrific.

Expected. People are so easily impressed by realistic graphics. -_-

Naughty Dog's best game is still Jak and Daxter by far.

I doubt The Last of Us will trump it.

Looking to be good, but I agree that was a horribly written review.  For all I know he didn't play the game but like just the demo.

That's the second game reviewed this year wherein a critic declared it to be gaming's "Citizen Kane" moment.

On the bright side, the first was Bioshock Infinite, so TLOU is in good company.

I hope it's not so convoluted with nonsense like U3 was. Buying guns and perks for performance? Whatever happened to working for your earnings!! LOL

Multiplayer will probably be mediocre don't count on it. Campaign should be beast though.

They said they nailed the feel of the single player (like the tension and pacing) in the Multiplayer and they're extremely excited to show it off. However they haven't shown anything on it and the release is in less than 2 weeks, so we'll see.

Naughty Dog is making it, and for some reason that elevates it to God status for cows. I think this game will be great, but all this hype turns me off. I'll probably still get it.

Nah, the least they can do is if they are selling microDLC it shouldn't be streamlined into the regular game. When I click on a weapon, it's not because I want to constantly be taken to the PSN Store with no warning.

I sincerely doubt his issue is the score, and has more to do with the way the review might as well be a PR bulletin.
