The game is great. I would have given it an 8. There was a lot of hype built around this game. My main issue with it is the controls, sometimes mid battle the inventory would come up because I pushed down the R stick too hard. Or the camera angke would get screwed up.
It's nice to read reviews from multiple sources. But def don't think gamespot has the best reviews. I've played games which I thought were a 10 and they were reviewed 7 ,6 etc
