Better than Ratchet and Clank on PS3 :P

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/acecombat6/review.html?sid=6181570&page=1

The Good

-Excellent flight model and smooth controls make flying simple and fun
-Exciting action surrounds you with huge explosions, radio chatter, and squadrons of enemy fighters
-Looks amazing, yet still maintains an even frame rate
-You can experience the excitement online with a number of great multiplayer modes.

The Bad

-First half of the campaign is a little bland
-Not as many aircraft or missions as prior installments.

Score: 8.5

Been up awhile...

I've read that review... Seems on par with other reviews for AC games...

I guess the series has a consistency to it for the most part.

Just as I suspected, another solid entry. The demo was great so I may pick up the game. I might want to get Tomb Raider Anniversary first though.

i dunno if i would buy the X360 for 1 game. Im not saying the X360 only has 1 game, but if AC is the only X360 game u wanted...i dont think its worth it.

Check metcritic and gamerankings before you say that.

Only GS ratings count on these boards. With that said R&C flopped.

Well, if we are going by GS, then every PS3 game will flop. Anybody that has half a brain would now that GS ratings are only one opinion. To get a true feel for the game you have to look at all the major rating sites. Therefore R&C did not flop. It was hyped AAA and it got AAA.

The majority of GR reviews = fanboy mag or site which drives up the score.

That being said, after playing the demo of R&C, I thought it would had at least got an 8.0. I was .5 off.

Ace Combat 6 sounds like a great game, but just not my type of game.

I do agree with the fanboy mags, but IGN and 1up are also fairly non biased reviewers at the moment.

This game looks brilliant though. I have never played an ace combat game before, but this one is making me want to try this genre out. I have never heard any hype about this game yet, which surprises me because this game looks magnificent.

Sorry dude but using GS reviews is NOT a rule. Some say it is an unwritten rule but care to tell me where it says in the TOS you have to?

GS Rating- The numerical average of catagories that rates the worth of a game. To be used to judge how good or bad a game is in System Wars, though in the real world personal opinions are what matters.

AAAA- The rare and perfect game which recives a 10.

AAA- A game rated 9.0 - 9.9

AA- A game rated 8.0 - 8.9

A- A game rated 7.0 - 7.9

Flop- A game that has not lived up to System Wars expectations, such as when a game is hyped AAA and gets below AAA status, or when a game is hyped to a certain score and fails to achieve it. DOES NOT determine the worth of the game.

You can scrap IGN from not being a fanboy site. They have their own sections dedicated to with the Wii, PS3, PSP, XBOX360, etc. and the IGN PS3 reviews are 9 times out of 10 overrated. They are probably the worst reviewers on the whole site IMO because their reviews never measure up to what my gaming experience is. Take the R:FoM review. They gave it a AAA score and said lots of great things about it. I nearly fell asleep playing that game it was so generic and bland.

As far as R&C goes, from playing the demo I thought it will get an 8.0 here, but I had a feeling GS would be hard on it because of the lack of MP, co-op and a lot of other things that should just be standard in todays gaming world. If a game like Bioshock could barely get AAA here, games like Uncharted, HS and R&C have no shot. I wouldn't be surprised to see SMG get the GS backhand with an 8.5 which would have the sheep grabbing their pitch forks andtorches ready to burn down the GS HC, LOL!!! :lol: Of course I think SMG will share the same fate at Bioshock and barely scrape by with a 9.0 because it is Mario after all.

Sorry but that is not a rule. Those are definitions so people understand what they mean, but those are not the rules of SW. Check the guide to not getting modded for those.
