Apparently not everyone agrees with Hillary's review:
Famitsu Xbox gave it 34/40 (81.6%) - The same score as Tales of Vesperia
360-Live (German 360 mag) gave it a 8.8 saying that it's "maybe the best JRPG for the 360"
So it may not be as atrocious as Hillary is making it out to be.

IGN is a thousand times more credible than Famitsu (who bases their review scores on hype) and a 360 magazine reviewing a 360 game.
|
IU must've been pretty hyped in Japan. Not suprising, all of Tri-Ace's games are hyped in Japan. SO3 in particular had a ton of hype before it was released
|
No. I doubt this game was hyped there at all. It will probably do worse than Radiata Stories.
Anyways, I like how all the Sony fanboys are converging here based on a numerical score. I guess I can understand the 'revenge' needed to be enacted upon tri-Ace and Square Enix for having the audacity to betray Sony. I, however, fully intend on buying and enjoying this game whenever I get a 360.
Can't believe they did 18 characters. I hope this isn't a trend, tri-Ace should have went for at least 30. I guess what's done is done, but SO4 better have at least 12 characters or I'll be disappointed.

But how about the Xbox fanboys who are so willing to ignore a less that stellar review in favor of a higher review? "7.1 just can't be right because it's an Xbox 360 game!!!" |
I don't think people have problems with less than stellar reviews, they just understand the source of the review. In this case Hillary has a poor reputation as a reviewer. If other reviews confirm what Hillary has said it will go long way to restablishing his credibilty in the gaming community...but if the past is any way to interpret the future I think you will find his review will have several mistatements and factual errors.
