Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Mass Effect 2 IGN Review. 9.6

Mendicate Bias on 22 January 2010

I was going to wait a while to buy this because I'm really short on money and time but I think I'm going to have to work some thing out because this game is just looking too good.

Heres a quote from IGN's review.

"It's incredibly personal while still retaining a sense of epic sweeping scale. The combat and mission design are outstanding. The visuals, voice acting, soundtrack, and direction are miles ahead of the competition. Perhaps most impressively, Mass Effect 2 manages to fulfill its incredible ambition while only suffering from very few technical hiccups."

SO my hype just jumped out

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

a 9.6..

IGN doesn't give 9.6's..

They give exceptional games 9.5 (See Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2)

They give extra exceptional games 9.7 (See Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy)

They give sequels that near perfection 9.9 (See San Andreas, Majora's Mask)

And they give overhyped games, overrated games and bribed reviews 10.0 (See Metal Gear Solid 4, Ocarina of Time, Grand Theft Auto 4)

Is that true? That's awful. It's so unnecessary!

OT: great score. +93% Meta is secured.

1. Its true

2. Yes unecessary for GTA 4

3. Yes awful for MGS4, it deserved a 11/10 as IGN stated in their conclusion to that review, but the score couldn't go that high

4. Woof!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

This IGN 360 reviewers new graphics king.

What i don't get though, is that if he thinks the graphics are "miles ahead of the competition"... Why did they only get a 9.5/10?

Interesting...

Oh come on. Is that the spin? So when IGN said Uncharted 2 was the best graphics, it only applied to PS3? That is not how PS3 fans took it on this site. They would have said best looking 360 game like they did with Gears 2.

The truth isn't spin... Is it?

Oh, and i don't know why you brought it up... But Uncharted 2 backed it up with a 10/10 on the graphics score (From all 3 IGN reviews).
