Very good score, not heard of NZgamer before but just looked at a few of their recent reviews and they seem to be quite close to other review sites scores.

The first reviews are NEVER reliable, especially when its from a no-name site that is out to get hits If it is this good than that would be great, but I still skeptical

Graphics 10? LMFAO. The game has so many jaggies. Overrated gameplay too. This game deserves no more than 8.5. Wait for 1up or GT, this site is worse than IGN.

Sure they are never reliable. I mean we should listen to some PS3 fanboy instead of someone who as actually played the full game.

Don't they overrate games often? I want this to get great reviews, but I won't put too much into this review.

Nope. They gave Fable 2 and Far Cry 2 an 8.9. They gave Lego Batman a 6.5, and Fracture a 6.

I don't know if this is credible or not, take my words with a grain of salt, but at the end of the review he complained about the text size being too small and unreadable, which was supposedly only in the demo since the demo was an old E3 build, and apparently Rare fixed this in the retail version, I'm not sure since I'm going only based off what I've heard, but yeah... something to think about.

You've never played the demo have you... because you'd find its nto jaggie at all. Perhaps screen shots look it, but not in game. Based SOLEY ont he demo, this game deserves a 9.0-9.5

NZGamer hits fairly close to home. They gave Resistance 2 a 9.2 and Lair a 5.0. They did however give Too Human a 7.5.

I'm expecting a 8.0 from gamespot. I'll get this anyway, the demo was pretty good and its a good deal at 40$.

Yeah thats a great score, but honestly I'm expecting this to be another one of those love it or hate it games. There will be those who welcome the change to the gameplay while others just wanted more of the old Banjo gameplay and I'm guessing the reviews will reflect that. Fortunately for me I played the demo and loved it so regardless I'll be picking this one up.

360 gains another AAAE. If this is anything to go by, atleast. And btw, NZGamer means New Zealand Gamer. It's probably the site of a magazine that is released in New Zealand.

I loved the demo and I think I'll get it.

The music was so awesome. It reminded me of the N64 games. And the characters would be weird with a voice, I like the fact that they don't talk and just grunt with text.

I predict AA here.

what you mean 2 points. Are you saying 9.2 or an 11 which I don't think is possible.

Not really surprised by 10 graphics score, it truly deserves it, I can say that with certaintity after playing the demo. And NZGamer is counted in Metacritic ratings, so they are not really obscure, at least to me.

And they only gave sound an 8? If there's was one aspect of the game that leaped out at me in the footage...it was the awesome music.

do you have enough space on your hdd? go to memory and make sure you dont have some weird corrupted versions of the demo that just aren't showing up either.

The music is much more subjective matter than the graphics, ultimately whether you like or don't like any given art style, you can't deny more objective merits, like technical prowess.

I have enough memory, and I tried clearing the cache a few times after the download fails. This is not the first time, it failed doing the Mirrors Edge demo and Bionic Commando Rearmed game.

I will say this, its very irritating, since my PS3 can download fine through the same connection/router/etc.

Rare's technical Prowess is too good for this gen. Man I really wonder what PD2 would look like now.

Its not something with my connection or router, as this is a fairly new phenomenon, and I didn't make the 360, so....
