[QUOTE="BeErBOnG29"][QUOTE="Velric"]I was disappointed with the review. They happily talk about how fun the game is, how great the presentation is, and how intuitive the combat can be, yet they score it so low because it is seven hours long and plays similar throughout the entire game. Funny, I can think of a game that is half that length and has even less depth and variety yet was given game of the year by many sites. Which game was that again? Oh, yah, Gears of War.
Also, how could they have not given the presentation a 10? It has some of the slickest graphics ever seen on a console, outstanding music, the best acting in a video game has ever had, and impeccable voice work.
The story also deserved quite a bit more praise than they gave it.

Really? GEoW was only 3.5 hours long? Less depth? No variety? Have you even played it? Probably not. Try not to be as much of a fanboy next time, please.
Nice try buddy boy. How about you hop on over XBL and check out my games played. Wow, completelly solved that issue. Yes, the game can be beaten, on first try on normal difficulty in just over 3 hours. Did I say it lacked depth? No, but I did say it is the similar style of gameplay from beginning to end with little variety. Which is true. You're grabbing cover from one end of each senario to the next while you take out the Locust. There's nothing wrong with that.
Why is everyone comparing this to GeoW? Why not something along the same genre?
But if the connection is merely because of a high score on a certain microsoft console, then I'll give my 2 cents.
And I personally think GeoW got the the high score cause it was the first few games that actually Wowed people and reviewers. But that was a year ago, and that Wow factor has kinda like weared off.
A prime example, a lot people will admit that Bioshock is the best game on 360 by far even compared to gears, despite its lower score.
Sure you can argue that PS3 only has only gone through a few months compared to the 360 but peoples expectations increase accross the platforms especially when ps3 and 360 are almost equal in terms of power and service provided.
