8.5. Called it.

Unfortunately this means even if its Metascore is above a 90 the fanboys are gonna consider it a AAE...

If it is as easy as the videos reflect. There will be 6/10 and 7/10. I still can't find how easy is enjoyable. It is awful (really awful when a game is a joke and basically a screensaver). No way this will get AAA on metacritic.

Seems like a trustworthy review and reflected my own observations from trailers and gameplay previews. It's got me psyched to go out and get the game.

It's at 89 currently. Reviews were excellent ranging from 8 to 10 before some random site (Kombo wtf) Gave it a 6.5 lol

Too easy is the worst part of a game. It is a total slooze fest when a game is too easy. My vehement hatred of R&C TOD among other games should reflect this. Easy games are easily the worst. Even broken games I find more enjoyable.

Pretty much exactly how I feel. If there is no challenge whats the point? Might as well just watch a video walkthrough on youtube and get the same amount of enjoyment.

I bet on a high AA, like it has now on MC (89), but it seems a few very high reviews have yet to be entered so it could go back into AAA range. I picked it up and I absolutely love it. It's true you can get through the game really easily, but I take a while to finish each level, explore every last corner of it, and I try to get every single bead and not lose one. If I get hit and lose a lot (and trust me to get Gold you can't get hit more than once or twice and not recover), then I start the level over. By the way I started at 1 and played to 3:20. So 2 hours and 20 minutes logged. I've only done 4 levels of the first world and 1 of the second. There are 6 levels per world, alternate paths which I haven't figured out how to play yet. So if you really stretch it out, look for everything, play the available minigames (which are very fun, thus far I've unlocked a hide and seek minigame on a few levels and a time trial bead collecting one for one level), and put just a little time into the Animal Crossing-esque apartment minigame, you'll get a lot more than 6 hours out of this game. Hell I'm past 1/3 of those 6 hours and I haven't even done a full 6 level world yet. By the way, anyone who has the game, is it just me or is it literally impossible to get Gold on the first boss? I collected every bead and star and didn't take a single hit but I can't get Gold. Looks really bad since every other level I've done is Gold, and I even restarted one five times to Gold it.

Ok question: who the f is Kombo and why does Metacritic use their reviews scores?

Seriously very unprofessional website, they don't even have boxart for Medal of Honor in their review for it and they gave Ivy the Kiwi a 9.5 and called it a "gaming gem."

Is it THAT easy to get on Metacritic these days?

I totally agree, having played through the first two worlds of the game at this point, and I'm actually rather pissed off that the utterly misguided Kombo review has pulled the score down below 90 on metacritic when this game absolutely deserves to be in the 90+ range.

Yeah and I looked into that Kombo site, it's a total joke. Like I said the look of things is completely unprofessional, it might as well be a fan made site, and they gave Ivy the Kiwi a 9.5 and called it "A gaming gem." Really now?
