| Gamerace said: The camera must be bad, although Bozon at IGN didn't get into it, the review is otherwise a glowing endorsement of this game. Only the camera seems to have kept it from getting a 80-90 score. As for the 1Up review, that was a pathetic review if I ever saw one. He's entitled to his opinion but it said almost nothing about the game. I doubt he even played it for more than a few minutes which is hardly enough time to determine how balance characters that control differently are. |
1up.com has a habit of crappy, inconsistant reviews. When Manhunt 2 was effectively killed in July 2007, they put out their review of the A-O rated version, with which they scored a 9/10 (before they did letter grades). Then when the actual game was released, they pounded it with a 4/10--never once complaining about the censorship or changes. They essentially rated the exact same game with a 50% difference in the score. I've usually found IGN and GameSpot's reviews to be about the best out there. They generally coincide with how I feel about a game.
