They gave MW2's graphics a 10 and GOW 3's a 9.5. Something is seriously wrong here, IGN should be forced to explain this one. No this thread shouldn't be locked because it's about IGN buying into hype rather than GOW3.

TC, Maybe they are right regarding GOW3's graphics.

I can't comment on GOW3 nor can anyone really, since we all haven't played it in the comfort of our own homes, at our pace, on our HDTVs. :P

We are still waiting to buy it.

Now that I think about it though, COD6:MW2 having a 10/10 graphics is a joke.:| Eh.

I tore MW2 up, beat all 69 Spec Ops on Vet, then I did it again on PS3 getting a Platinum. A 10 in graphics is a joke.

I never pay attention to IGN in that category I guess.

COD games seem to be measured against themselves, because those aren't the best graphics at all.

I haven't played it yet but does 0.5 make this huge difference? Maybe they wanted to point out that GoW graphics isn't as good as they expected. Then you know, reviews are very subjective.

IGN suck. They act like cheerleaders for the games they review, all praise and gloss over any critiscism. That's how it seems to me anyway....

they have about as much credibility as here don't they?

after all, a review score is still somebodie's opinion so is there really any point in ranting at a score you don't agree with?

and if i'm perfectly honest i the only thing about the god of war graphics that i'm impressed by is there sheer scale of them. but the fact everything about the game is collossal and epic doesn't mean it automatically deserves a top score

Did the IGN reviewer who rated MW2 also rate GOW3?

If you read my post above in this thread regarding the TC and GOW3, you'd know my feeling on God of War. I agree with you, but that's not my point.

COD is my only point. Those graphics are not 10 worthy, and that's from looking at it critically and from playing it so many times.

I think I may agree with you on that last part :P. While COD's graphics aren't terrible, frankly...well, I've seen better.

Maybe GoW graphics arent 10/10, but thats not the point. I think the point TC is trying to make is that its ridiculous that MW2 got 10/10, especially when imo the GoW demo looked better than MW2.

Absolutely.

They aren't terrible, they are sufficient. They are decent, they do the job, it looks nice but MW2's graphics aren't 10/10 worthy.

You're right I wasn't moaning GOW3's graphics never got a 10, I was complaining that MW2's graphics were rated higher when they don't even come close, especially considering the much bigger scale of gow3.

well in their video review they said the graphics were amazing, but wasn't consistent in some areas

that could be why

but yea...i agree, MW2's graphics are like an 8.5 or a 9.0

different reviewers though maybe?

something tells me infinity ward or activision payed for good reviews on websites, because its score is so high and the game is average, and then a game like bfbc2 gets lower score than mw2 and bfbc2 is a much bettter game, sometimes this reviews are not really trustable

They also gave GTA IV a 10 in graphics. Now, I'm a fan of GTA IV, and still play it, and in no way are its graphics a 10... they're just not. IGN is weird like that sometimes, but I generally agree with most of their reviews. I don't care what they rate GOW III's graphics tbh. I know the game is going to look amazing, regardless of what they say.

They gave MW2 a 10 and BFBC2 a 9 in sound, in SOUND! I'm sorry but in terms of gun, explosions, vehicle and personell sounds, it is a FACT that BFBC2 is superior. In BFBC2 you can identify and pick out individual guns in a heated fire fight just based on their sound alone, you can identify where a vehicle is on the map and which vehicle it is without even seeing it. In MW2 all the guns have the same sound with varying tempos, guns being fired on the other end of the map sound the same as if they were being fired right next to you.

Not really "no cred" but MW2 should not get a 10 in anything other than value and maybe gameplay..

IGN is a freaking joke now...all they do is have a Playstation team that over critisizes games, while the Xbox 360 team under critizises and ignores problems within the games they are reviewing. MW2 looks like complete garbage on all systems. It has probably the worst texturing this gen, pixelated shadowing, static lighting, and average at best character models, and they give it a 10 in graphics? IGN:"Weill itz da big leapz for COD4z" well its easy to make a big leap from COD 4, as its plagued with the problems i listed above, but its somehow uglier than MW2...Anyways, they gave Bayonetta, a game that had a crappy story,horendous character models, and average visuals at best a 9.5 while GOW3 a 9.3? I understand though, because the Xbox team rated Bayonetta, while the Playstation team rated GOW3

Yeah their ratings are usually really screwed up, GTA4 a 10 in graphics, MW2 getting a higher score in sound than BFBC2 they are not a priority site to me anyway.

They did say the graphics can be "disjointed": some parts look amazing, whilst other parts don't. MW2 ran at 60fps, but I cannot understand their rating.

TC, Maybe they are right regarding GOW3's graphics.

I can't comment on GOW3 nor can anyone really, since we all haven't played it in the comfort of our own homes, at our pace, on our HDTVs. :P

Yes we can. I don't need to have played Uncharted 2 to see that it's the best looking console games. Or play Crysis to see it is the graphics king.
