And they also claim the game is twice as long as IGN said it is. Odd.

that would mean both of them are idiots. It should be common sense to play the game on normal when measuring the length.

first killzone 3 is gets 8.5 and now bulletstorm gets an 8. why do so many mainstream reviewers have such an aversion to quality and ingenuity and yet such a fetish for overrated, un-innovative tripe like halo and call of duty?

How is Killzone any more innovative than Halo or Call of Duty? Because it looks better? :|

Seriously dude, get real. Halo is 10x more innovative than Killzone. All Killzone did was copy everything. H2 introduced regen health, and was pretty much the only shooter on consoles that had the same capabilities and customization as shooters on pc.

Yea seriously, though I agree. Most reviewers give pretty high scores to trashy games. The reviews for this game are much better then I expected, might have to it pick up later in the year.

It really depends on what you mean with that question. Would I put uniqueness over gameplay? HELLLLLLLLLL NOOOOO.

Huh? Halo's definitively innovative in terms of console games. Most FPS's in general infact.

True statement right there, the only shooters more possibly innovative were Doom and the original Goldeneye.

I'd like you to name ANY other shooter in the last decade with more influence on multiplayer shooters than regen health.

Bulletstorm is hardly generic - it's one of the most unique shooters to come out in quite a while. It has a unique "skill kills" system. And one of the weapons is a gun that shoots two grenades attached with a chain.

I was more or less referring to the fact a great deal of people find regenerating health somewhat of annoying trend. Also, there have been a number of shooters that have had a lot of influence in multiplayer in the last decade, including the Battlefield series, COD, TF2, etc.

Baranga

But they only give that part a 5.5. So basically 1 point for every hour? I think this rating is too too high. Another game that got sucked into the "blah we don't know how to use the scale properly" games.

Tribes actua/lly introduced a regenerating health / energy mechanic. Halo hasn't been particularly innovative, rather influential in droves.

Interesting thing - around the time of Halo 2, a lot of people called the series "Tribes without jetpacks." Then Halo: Reach comes in, and there are jetpacks. Hmm...

Good thing Reach plays nothing like Halo 2.
