Michael Bay's Transformers got slammed to Hell and gone by the critics in general. Roger Ebert, the greatest critical voice in cinema today, called it a four-star movie simply because it fulfilled what it was trying to do. He deviated from the mean and median opinions so far he's practically in another country. Nobody says anything. This demand that game reviewers all think alike is bizarre and worrisome and has been so for years. |
You missed my point. Movie reviewers are considered snobs, so they aren't paid attention to that much, so not that many notice the deviations enough to care.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
