From what I've seen of it, it's nothing but FEAR without the blood splatters, with worse graphics, and without the scare factor. Still, it did deserve a higher score.

That's preety low, I was hoping that it would get atleast 7.5

I also liked the game, one of the games I'm planning to buy after Cod4, Assassins Creed, Kane & Lynch, and another 2/3 games.

Very wrong. The visuals are far better than FEAR. They're not amazing, but they're surely better.

Oh yeah, it's nothing like Fear, except for the slow mo.

Actually, nevermind. The review was written by Aaron Thomas and he underscores every game he has ever reviewed. He's never given any game above an 8.5. Hell, he even gave Ratchet and Clank a 7.5. I don't even own a PS3 and I can still tell the score on that game is way too low.

I feel that gamespot is pretty good with their ratings... I tend to share the same opinion on a lot of titles and scoring. I am disappointed that this game scored so low, I was hoping it woulda been better. But at least I didn't shell out $60 like I almost did, instead it's probably sitting on the counter at home in the gamefly envelope :)

As I said, Aaron Thomas strikes again. Every time I see a low score, I look to see if he reviewed it before trusting the score because if he did, you can count on it being the lowest score the game will ever recieve from a credible reviewer.

Dude, you do know that all of Gamespot contributes to the reviews, they dont just let one dude review games. :P I think it would be ludicrous if they did that.

They really should have delayed it, not to make improvements, but to save it from the onslaught of amazing games being released this season. I predict that few copies will be sold and, if they postponed the release,sales could have been a lot higher. Oh well, it must be embarrassing to release such a craptastic product.

reviews written by aaron thomas are written by aaron thomas and nobody else. reviews written by george washington are written by george washington and nobody else (except maybe his ghostwriter). "all of gamespot" does not contribute to the reviews - only the author of any particular article.

I played the demo, and I thought it was a generic game with some neat features, so I cancelled my preorder. I initially had high hopesfor it :(

I'm not gonna say there wrong (I haven't played it yet), but ever since they gave Halo 3 that 6.5 they've been giving a wide majority of games low scores. Primarily shooters and original games, just because it's not as goodand overhyped asHalo 3 (I doubt anything will be till Halo 4, god forbid), dosen't mean it's not a good game.

The Two Worlds and Halo 3 scores are fair. Those games have flaws warenting the score deductions they got, but you are right about the Ratchet and Clank one.

Of course it deserved a better score, but it did have flaws. The only thing I saw wrong with the game was how amazingly easy it was. even on the hardest mode. Repetitive, too. 1. Freeze time. S2. Steal weapon. 3. Shoot in head. 4. Sit in a corner and wait for recharge. 5. Repeat.

I thought the demo was enjoyable and i'm shocked at the 6.5. Oh well i might rent it first to see if i like it more. I will disagree with you about the graphics though. Timeshift is more polished and detailed in the graphical department than FEAR.

Definitely deserved something higher then that. This game combines so many elements into an appealing game. This game was supposed to be an XBOX title with a completely different story, the way it turned out is a lot better for sure.

8.2 is a well deserving score for this game, personally I would give it a 7.8 rather then a6.5 which I find is completly overrated and unreasonable.
