I would caution the Sony Defense Forces to be wary of premature boasting. This title has seen mixed sentiment from the media. This score may simply account for the lower ebb of that sentiment. So while you are thinking four to seven. The range may very well be six to nine. Nobody was positive about Haze in the media, but some in the media are decrying low balling this game.
By wary of proclaiming this title the Haze of the 360, because if it ends up averaging out well over a seven or even close to an eight. Well it only highlights the disparity of the quality between the 360 and the PS3 when it comes to the gaming library. You are basically saying that on the 360 the bar is set higher. When you consider a near seven on the 360 mediocre your really saying that, because the 360 has so many highly rated titles a seven is just not good enough. While you are implying that on the PS3 such a title is above average.
Honestly I expect the title to score well over a seven when averaged out. Perhaps not universally acclaimed, but hardly universally derided. The way in which Haze was with an average score on Metacritic of 55. To me the Haze of the 360 was Circle of Doom which also averaged a 55. The reason this was not recognized was, because 360 owners were more then happy with their upcoming selection. The title was not for them going to fill a gaping void.
Anyway almost being a seven isn't necessarily a bad or mediocre game. More along the lines of average to slightly below average. So the magazine was not saying the game was bad. Just that they did not think it was good, great, or fantastic.
