I got the game early.. cuz some idiot put it on the shelf at London Drugs and i got a copy.

Anyways.. I really didnt think this game would be that good, but i saw a copy, grabbed it and was honestl yjust gonna sell it on ebay.. because i hated the demo and thought it would be another GTA clone.
But boy was i  wrong, i gave it a chance and i am loving it... being a super hero rules!
And playing with a friend online doing all the missions and jumping from roof to roof attack crime bosses is so fun!

The game is just alot of fun IMO, i think gamespot messsed up on the review of it, but other sites game it pretty good reviews.

THoughts? anyone else get this game early?

So your friend just happened to grab another copy off the shelves at London Drugs? In the US they have an empty box on the shelf and you have to ask to get the actual game from a store rep. If you didn't like the demo then what's changed in the final version that won you over? I'm not saying you are a liar. I'm just heavily implying that.

Actually the GS review is yet another review in which the vid/written review doesn't match the score. During the vid review he praises the game and has maybe 2 negatives, yet he gives it below an 8.

Any way the 3 reviews I pay attention to (GS, GI and IGN) all seemed to like it so I'm getting it.

The game was made in europe, nuff said. As for the difference in how game stores hand out the games its different across the world. Some will have it out back, some stored in a draw, some just take the dvds out and put them into the case when you buy the game.

Check my gamercard and i have a picture uploaded to photobucket of me holding the game...
London Drugs made a dumb mistake in putting the game on the shelf
And BTW London Drugs has the games in the cases, not behind a desk, so no need to ask anyone for it

They didn't mess it up. No story really weighed down the score. That doesn't keep the game from being friggin fun as hell.

Uhh... haven't you figured out that Gamespot reviews are weird because they average the different parts together. A game with crappy graphics and sound but with great gameplay usually gets an ok review. That's why so many DS games get so-so ratings compared to other websites/mags.
