I think that that's typical for the site that gave MW2 a 10 in sound and gave BC2's sound a 9.

So I take it that no one on this particular topic has played the Multiplayer Demo huh?

I think it deserves it.

I could list about a dozen other reasons, but I think it's pretty much universally agreed upon that to claim MW2 has better sound than one of the best audio developed games in history is laughable.

So sound is the reason your not going to listen to ign? Good luck with that. I personally think ign is one of the best reviewers out there.

It's funny how no other review site has even reviewed it before today, and Metacritic still shows 0 reviews counted.

I beat the SP on both and played MP on both. BC2 has better sound and voice acting. But hey...opinions are fun. That review is nothing but an opinion as well. But seriously a 10 for sound in MW2? Come on now...that's silly. OT- I do want to try this new Transformers game. Maybe a rent.

Demo is pretty darn good. I was just waiting on a credible review 7.5 or above from IGN/Gamespot. This is my next game for sure. This generation is getting better by the moment. An actual playable Transformers game I am so happy.

Same here. However Armada back on the PS2 was pretty good nice mix between FPS and Thirdperson shooter.

Its IGN.... When they first saw the first trailer(non gameplay) they said it would be like the Arkham Asylum of Transformers..... Anything they hype they will give a good score no matter what.

What do I think? The check is in the mail. IGN has been way too liberal with scores for the last couple of years. The odd time they go lower than average (both UFC games) always makes me think "Hmm, I guess THQ didn't buy enough advertising space to get that 9".

I like it how IGN credibility is questioned, but we're posting on a site that fired nearly it's whole review team behind the Kane and Lynch review a while ago. IGN might not be the most credible, but they're very far from the worst EASILY.

Gamespot is still better, which is only makes IGN look worse to be honest. A 9.0 from IGN is nothing special. The game is good, but how good remains to be seen... in the GS review :P

I have no idea who that is. I trust very few people on that site. I like Craig Harris, and Ryan Clements. I pretty much always agree with their scores, but other than that games get way over rated. I just dont trust them half the time their reasons for liking and hating things sometimes never makes sense. i.e.

One reviewer there when on a rant about how terrible the shenmue games are and why he didnt put them on the list of top 25 dreamcast games (which is the most absurd thing Ive EVER HEARD.. I dont care how much you specifically hate that game saying Charge n' Blast is a better game is laughable) because he said they were boring, not enough action and you do things like have to do dumb things like you have a job in the game... Ok FINE Ill accept that, Shenmue is very out there and isnt for everyone very slow paced etc.. But then he goes and gives GTA4 a 10.. WHAT? You mean the game where you spend half the freaking time calling your girl friend on the phone, drive around for hours having incredibly boring conversations about NOTHING..and taking your cousin to go drinking.. in a game.. when all you are doing is watching your character get drunk.. Ridiculous

Tell that to the 2007 Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction review as well as the Perfect Dark Zero review in 2006. If, I'm not mistaken, at MC, GS score for ToD was one of the lowest, while their PDZ review was on of the highest.

Also on the topic of credibility... it has less to do with CNET firing employees because they refuse to drink the Kane & Lynch Kool-Aid, and more to do with the fact that Gamespot reviews generally line up better with my own scores for games than IGN's. That's all it comes down to. There are cases they are obviously bought, like FFXIII or Far Cry 2, but apparently so was everyone else because those terrible games have 80+ Metacritic averages. IGN hands out 9's like candy on Halloween, Gamespot at least has the balls to tell us that NO, Splinter Cell Conviction is not a 9+ title just because it had a budget and isn't godawful. The bar has been raised. Most sites are afraid to give solid but ultimately unimpressive exclusives anything less than a 9. I never take one review source as the gospel anyway. I take Gamespot, IGN, Eurogamer, Gametrailers, Giant Bomb, 1UP's scores into account, read all of their reviews and then come to my own conclusion based on that to see if it's something I want to try.

:lol: Yeah that's epic, epic fail right there. MW2 was not a 10 in anything. BFBC2 has been praised and lauded internet-wide for it's sound design while MW2's wasn't even mentioned, but hey, 100k from Activision to skin IGN with MW2 ads for the week, they would have given it a 10/10 in game length. MW2 is a "greater than the sum of it's parts" game, I find it hard to believe anyone in the world has not seen better graphics or heard better sound than what's represented in Call of Doody.
