IGN's Lair review (4.9) - edited with link.

[QUOTE="stefanlek"]wel see what gamespot give itDarthmatt

lool :lol:

Seriously, people should quit getting worked out. Yes the game has turned out to be a train wreck and will not at least to the critics and hardcore be a saviour for the doomed PS3 but you have to realise that its still a pretty much Win-Win situation for Sony.

For starters, games sell, no matter what the reviews say, and in this increasing casual gaming market, its even more likely. As a result, casuals will see big giant dragons and epic battles with a beautiful coat of paint and eat this game up. Dare i say it, but this is the best looking game out right now

Secondly, all the reviews so far have criticised one MAIN thing. Yes we all know what it is controls and lock on system. Now imagine they worked, all of sudden, taking on these LOTR esque battles and feeling like its one from the films is a reality. Yes the horrible targetting means you cant shoot youre way through and yes the poor controls mean you cant exactly make up for the former, but with a 2 month or even 3 month delay, this couldve EASILY been a AAA title.

Why? Well nobody has commented on the battles themselves, and the diversity of them as well as their scope. Either way, this is a good kick up the backside for Factor 5 and Sony, next time, they will be back with a vengeance.

this game won't sell. word of this games floppage will spread like wildfire in a central-california summer.

I hereby prophesy this game will not reach 100,000 copies.

Factor 5 made a mistake supporting hardware and not a software company. :lol: They got owned

It WILL sell - Motorflop is selling despite being a pile of mediocre crap, its a casuals heaven and so it beats Forza 2

It shows the power of the PS3

Sony wins = (

i still feel sorry for developers that work so hard only to have the work smashed up in moments by reviews :Ptoxicmog

That has got to be the worst review I've read in a long time.

The only reason he seems to give are, something is lame, or the suck, or something like that.

If the controls suck so bad, then give some examples of things that you wanted to do but couldn't. Say something more than, they suck.

Did someone hack their site and post a fake review or something?

How that got past any kind of quality control is beyond me.

Oops my bad. I only read the last page and thought that was the whole review.

The link goes straight to the last page so i thought that was the whole thing.

I'm not a fanboy of any system. I just have a very low respect for IGN. So lowI actually thought that last page was supposed to be a whole review.

Self owned:oops:
