:? Errr, what?!

Wow scores like that make it easy for me to decide on games that I shouldnt buy.

Edit: nvm didnt see that it was Aaron Thomas...

I am going to give it a whirl tonight and see what happens. Hopefully I don't run into any major bugs or glitches.

The only good thing about that game was the trailer.

Harsh GS is back.

SW shall become fun again.

Wow.. the ownage hurts.

Um... I don't see a review or rating there...

EDIT: Nevermind, finally showed up for me

DAMMMMMMM

They're not playing around anymore.

Damn 5.0 on both, Critic score is 8.0 for Ps3 and 7.7 for 360 though...is it really that bad, or did GS drop the ball here?loganh92

This should answer that question...

I always laugh at lot of you complainers. Apparently, you do not understand the meaning of "opinion."

Wow.

I have to say I agree with IGN's 7.9 moreso than the 5. The game is fun and that is all that matters

seriesly :S :S it isnt 5/10 bad at all

wait....

didn't GS have some Mercs 2 ads on the site some time ago? :o

2008 is nowhere near as good as anyone originally thought it was going to be.

Four more months left to prove me wrong.

Oh yes! Once again I am right about a game! Lyphe2k's spidey senses never decieve him. Saw it coming a mile away. Mark my words - Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Killzone 2 and the new Silent Hill will fall into the same fate.Lyphe2k

You'll regret leaving Dead Space on that list. :)

Ha, people actually hyped this crap. kool-aids

Ha, and how is it crap? Solid A rating across the board, bud.

This game has bugs, but it's no 5.0. Sure, it's an opinion, but Gamespot should be reviewing for its readers and not just for the reviewers themselves. They give this a 5, yet they give the buggiest trash pile, Two Worlds, a 7 score. Absolutely ridiculous. BioShockOwnz

I know the bugs dont justify it being a 5. I'm having a hell of a lot of fun with it.

It deserves less then that if you ask me. The game is a pile of crap, the only reason I bought it was because pandemic made it. Its one of the only games that can make my rig turn into a ps2.

There is literally no ai. You can walk up to a group of 10 people and they will stare at you while you melee them all to death. The only time the ai wakes up is when you get in a vehicle; they will shoot the vehicle even after you jump out of it.

Isn't that a PS3 exclusive? :lol:

no its multiplat

Just image what GS is gonna give The Force Unleashed in a few weeks. It aint gonna be a pretty sight. Ninten007

2.5 confirmed

Either that or a 10 :P

Does anyone find that Gamespot has been overly harsh on average games (giving them awful scores), yet overly appreciative to great games (giving them 10's)?BioShockOwnz

I was never excited for this game!!! I didnt see all the hype surrounding it. But geesh, flops. lol.

You had to bring fanboyism in here? Go to the 360 page and there will be a review of this game.

:lol:

Worse than too human, I'm going to play it just to see how bad it is

Terrible review is terrible

5/10 yeah right...

Another offense to add to Arron Thomas's long list of review crimes... -_- He did make some valid points, but seriously...5.0? It's been getting solid AA reviews everywhere else.

I don't like it, that's why. But even I wouldn't give SR a 5. I gave it a 7.5 on Gamespot, because even though I don't like it, it's still a solid game, much like Mercs 2.
