I can already see this coming even though the game is still several months away.  It's going to get docked points for being a "button masher" with incredible graphics but "not as good as Gears of War's", "short story" and "little replay value."  Ugh, my prediction, 7.9.

I'm going to look back on this topic when the game is released.  MARK MY WORDS.

AA I think. Probably around 8.7/10. It looks great but I think if the story is short they won't give the game AAA.

It seems they made the game too much about combat so it will probably get knocked as shallow. No online from the looks of it so they will probably complain about the lack of a co-op feature. Unless the fighting engine is hella tight and evolves through the game so that it stays a little fresh it might well be a 7.5 even if the graphics are excellent. I think a co-op mode for this would be cool...

I'm thinking A-LOW AA.  You know they'll try to point out every possible negative thing.  I mean, for GOW2 they put "the ending" for something bad.

Online really won't work for a game like this.  Can you imagine playing God of War online?  Bunch of Kratos' slashing the crap out of each other.  Mayhem.

lol, that's true.

If the game is unique enough and still provides non stop action like GOW why wouldn't they give it a good score though? It's not like they're rushing HS like they rushed Resistance or Motorstorm.

This game is looking good. I'm just hoping the devs aren't copying GOW exactly.

Just like Gears, it'll be a normal game in next generation graphics that will justify a perfect 10 by some websites... For some reason.

All that does is remind me that PS2 is still getting fantastic games while MS/Nintendo have halted support for their Xbox/GC.

LOL, no Sony-related thread can be spared from some sort of negative comment made by jealous Lemmings.

Naw, the game'll deliver.  It won't deliver what God of War hasn't already delivered a few years ago, which will keep it from being a high AAA game, but it'll deliver.

My guess: between 8.8 and 9.1, at most.

You know because the ending is bad? Not to say as bad as Do not want to watch. But if your idea is to end a game on a chiffhanger. It deserves to be taken off a bit. Only something like .2. But that means you have to wait 3years to find out...What happened.

Didn't stop God of War 1 and 2 getting AAAs. But yeah, co-op would be pretty awesome, dunno how they'd logically work it in though.

Some one could say that god of war is a button masher with no online and yet scored AAA, so why not HS. Anyways you better get your eyes checked.
