So short it can be finished in an afternoon? Total waste of money in my opinion this is a rental only.

Good news for PS3 owners. Don't let anyone tell you this is a huge flop. It's a SW flop- and that doesn't mean anything at all.

Another flop for the Waitstion 3 or is it being called Flopstation 3 now? I am sorry but i would be ticked if I had spent $599 on a PS3 right about now.Eltroz
It's a good game. Start living in the real world and not System Wars Land and you might realise that.

I stand corrected. :P I don't like to be too positive though. You never know when someone might jump out and shriek flop into your ear. >_>

this is funny after all that hype the cows gave it and now the game has not lived up to the expectations. what is even more funny is the damage control. "but all that blu ray space for sound the game has to be great because of blu ray"-a cow typical sony undelivering.

With this gen being littered with FPS's and TPS's, a good old fashioned hack n slash is welcomed. I need a break from shooting things.

Lo_Rising
Huh? This apparent "damage control" only exists because of the stupid way that the hype and flop system works. No one has anything bad to say about this game other than typing FLOP everywhere, which is just annoying and totally pointless/ meaningless. It's a "flop" based on the "hype" of the people of this board.... Yeah, I'm sure that's an accurate way to rate games.

The truly funny thing about this is how Lemmings were saying this game was going to score sub-A here @ Gamespot and now that it scored AA, they're so quick to jump back on the fact that we Cows were initially hyping this AAA.

wow a 8 is damage control. so your saying if halo 3 gets a 8 or an 8.5 it is not a good game you won't buy it. blu-ray comment show me a game for the 360 that has animations as heavily sword. i love it all the lemmings say this game sucks because it is not AAA. damage control for you guys that think this game is not another great ps 3 title for us to play that is not shooting or fps.

That wasn't initial hype. That was OFFICIAL hype. It failed to meet it's OFFICIAL hype. In the end, that's all that matters.

As I recall, Cows said the same of Lost Planet, Crackdown, Saint's Row and others that scored low 8's or slightly below. Why is it when the roles are reversed it's so much more horrible? Why is everyone an expert in serving comments but totally against being served?

I'm very proud to see PS3 owner not bent out of shape to the point HS needed to be sticky. Goes to show that HS was expected to be a great game, but was robbedbecause the lenght of the game was too short. Yes, it's a SW flop, but I promise you this is a new franchise that Sony has created.

Which I honestly can't understand. When I was here looking at HS hype, there were more A and AA predictions than AAA and somehow this thing ended up AAA official hype. Unless we considered the threads that came right after E3 2006 to be the official determinant of hype, I really don't know how this thing got AAA. I continued to push it down people's throat myself, but more or less cause I really like this game and for the most part was kinda playing around with the whole AAA hype concept.

Regardless, the game delivered. Review have been very good so SW flop-status means nothing to me and the pre-paid in full order I get to go pick up on Wednesday!

Im a Cow and i dont make the mistake to be impatient and overhype all PS3 games,giving the lems,sheep and hermits the opportunity to bash my console.

PS3 top games will come and ruin the competition.

As for HS i hyped it AA and so im glad for it,definately going to buy it.

Looks like a lot of precious little AAA's to me... but its ok. Like father, like son. So I wouldn't expect a lot of honesty coming from Sony fanboys.

I was very excited about this game! But hearing that it is a short game is very dissappointing. But I will most likely get this game after it drops in price. If there is a sequel hopefully its at least 10 hours long.
