I'm going with 8.0. You can call it AAA, AA, or A, but none of this A to AA crap (e.g. saying 7.5-8.0). I'd actually say 7.5 to 8.0 'cause I reckon it's around that range, but let's keep things manly. Give one number.

I voted 8.0 - 8.5. It looks like a great game but it also looks a little too generic gameplay-wise to score AAA.

It would be a crime if this game received anything less than a 9.0. Its the most outstanding in depth shooter ive had the pleasure of playing.

V Guy who's reviewing the game.

Working on it, my man! I've been playing full days of MAG all week for the review. I'm enjoying it so far (the little squishy sound that bullets make when they hit an enemy is particularly satisfying) and I'm progressing up the ranks in an effort to earn command abilities. The review proper will hit early next week, but you can check out the reviews blog (Under Review) later today for my early impressions and some gameplay clips.

Anyone else playing?

Probably around a 8.9-9.3 if that is any proper reprensentation. Lemmings are going to **** RAGE if this scores higher than Mass Effect 2, or even in the same vicinity. Popcorn anyone?

Hi, Xbox how are you?

And I'd presume logically that it'd be higher than that, if he's thoroughly enjoying it.

After spending time with the full game im saying AA(8.0-8.5). I am having a blast with the full game, if they were to have a possible singleplayer to play with like maybe a bot skirmish it might have a chance at AAA, but it doesnt, and the biggest downside to the game is if your internet doesnt work or the servers go down, your copy of the game is useless. I havent had any trouble with this yet, but its still a possibility that cant be overlooked.

There's more to games than just the "fun factor". Just read gamespot's latest review of Blood Bowl, he made have had a good time with the game, but it still only got a 5.5

Yo, dude, like totally, how's your Xbox 360? Because you for damn sure like criticizing games on a system you are obviously biased towards.

my original vote was 6.5-7.0, however with the most recent things being released I think 7.5-8 would be a more accurate guess

It won't score better than ME2 (I'm a cow too) but lems will rage when Me2 gets announced for ps3. Lems will be surprised when MAG scores AAE and Heavy Rain AAE or AAAE

If it gets a nine you'll see "Page cannot be displayed" all over the forums and countless threads entitled:

"WTF GS, LAG as good as Mass Effect 2!!?'

"FAIL GS FAIL."

"CREDIBILITY=GONE."

I don't get it, do Lemmings like being referred to as Xbox fanboys? It's not an insult, as it is the appropriate definition of a Lemming. And if it's the other way around, I'd happily prefer to call "them" by the latter.

(Here...I precured a definition for you:)

Lemming (n.):

A person who is obsessed with the Xbox 360, usually accompanied by unexplained biased towards any other platform.

lol I know wat a lemming is senor. I used to BE one :P

anyways off the topic of fanboys and back onto MAG, wats your guys specific reasons for thinking itll score wat it does.

My main point is the fact that you can ONLY be one class, in order to chance classes you literally have to start your whole character over from scratch, and from what i saw from the giantbomb quicklook you cant have more then one character at once.

It wouldn't surprise me if it got a 9. But I'll say AA (8.0 more than 8.5). I'll be upset if it gets AAA, and No More Heroes, and TvC didn't.

I play more 360 games to be fair, but now that I have the PS3, it took me away from it, but it'll come back with Bayonetta, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Crackdown 2, etc.

Sounds good too. Though I heard Sega or Sony patched up the PS3 version of Bayonetta pretty well, from what I heard.

Lems should be "raging" that ME:2 scored in the same vicinity as Killzone 2 imo. On-topic, I'm leaning towards 7.5 since people are saying it's much better than what the beta presented (which was in the 6's atm) I just raised it.

It only fixes the load times, and the screantearing. It does not fix the framerate, or the visuals.
