For some reason I see Gamespot being the bubble-buster, so I think it'll get an 8.5.

I think gamespto will either give this game a 9.5, or 10. I was wrong about gran turismo but that game features weren't up to snuff. Also I expect the game to end around 94-96 range on metacritic

Would that make it the best PS3 exclusive (going with the high end 96)?

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]

[QUOTE="LP4EVA2005"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"]I take it you mean the same exact score, and not a better score (since I just listed a handful of games that all got better scores than the first one. I also listed one that got the exact same score. Forza Motorsports and Forza 2 both got 9.2. Of course, they were on different consoles. Also, COD4:MW, COD:MW2, and COD:BO all got 9 on PS3 and 360. Halo 3 and Halo Reach both got 9.5. Assassin's Creed and AC2 both got 9.

cool, its rare you see same scoring games so i really wasnt sure, thanks

It is more common for sequels to score higher or lower, but some franchises stay pretty consistent.

ND is the best.

To make this appropriately SW related, the only current-gen exclusive games rated higher than LBP2's current metascore (94) are Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Uncharted 2, and LittleBigPlanet.

[QUOTE="Vinegar_Strokes"]

i don't get it. IGN gets blasted by PS3 fans for being 360 bias and they go give LBP2 a 9/10. things do not add up

Giancar

and IGN got blasted by 360 fans when the 2 years before they gave the console of the year to the ps3 =/

That makes perfect sense. People cry and complain and then they get their way. :idea: We should cry and complain that game prices are too high!

9/9.5 probably, wouldn't be surprised if it got 8.5 though, or even 10. :)

Just a random question. Do costumes cross over? I want to buy the Kratos costume for the first, but not when this is being released in two weeks or so.

Twin-Blade

The only thing that doesn't cross over is the story missions in LBP 1, and I would imagine a few create things that got outdated.

DLC, costumes, collectables, and even all the user made levels from LBP1 cross over.

Wow, that almost makes LBP an obsolete game to own. I mean, the campaign was fun... but... LBP is about user created content more than anything. The campaign seemed like it served more as an inspiration to give to creators.

Reviewed by the one and only Jim Sterling of course.... And the sad thing is, Destructoid reviews are still counted on metacritic.... I wonder how heavily they weight their ones.

Nah, they just rate it whatever everyone else doesn't rate it. So a critically acclaimed hyped game gets a low score,and a hyped bad game gets a high score.

Why is GS always so slow with reviews? I assume they get their review copies the same time everyone else does, yet they are always weeks later with the review. Well, excpet that one time when they reviewed FF14 after having their copy for about 15 minutes, but it seemed like that was mostly just backlash at SE for asking reviewers to wait to review it. Anyway, one week to go!

I honestly stopped listening to Destructoid a long time ago. Their articles are fine, and some cases, funny. Their reviews, however, are extremely inconsistent, especially Jim Sterling's.

"Yeah we use the full 10 point scale"

*Slaps 9.5's on L4D2 and MW2*

Ouch at the destructoid score. LBP2 for me will probably be AAAA. The first one was almost, but it had a few problems. If LBP is a lot better, I can look past them easily. That said, I can see this game getting AAA or AA. I was predicting AAAA, but that was more of my own hype I guess.

It's good that they don't try and rush a review, but at the same time it's annoying. They should be able to do both ideally. (love their reviews though)

The first game was great, so I expect LBP2 to be even better. I have no plans on getting it immediately however, but I will pick it up later in the year. I still haven't beaten the first game.
