Keep in mind this post is just my opinion folks:
After reading the 1UP review I actually came away thinking they pretty much had all of the complaints the IGN guys had only they seemed to whine about them a bit more and in general they thought they were a bigger deal than the IGN guys. Just from the written reviews it seems like the score for the IGN would be a 9.6-9.7 to me and the 1Up based on their written review I would of guessed they had given it a 9, so their review justifies their score more but I still don't agree with it...at all.
So I am fine with the 9.5 from IGN, I personally would of rated it higher based soley on what their review said. But 1UP giving it a 9 sort of strikes me as off. Then again just about every game has a few reviews that are statistical outliers and not everyone is going to (or needs to) love the game.
If a 9 is the worst review it gets (and that seems very possible) then the game is doing just fine. I am psyched to get it and play it, I feel bad for Rol having to hear about all this coverage when the game is still 2 months out ><
PS - I plan on doing an in-depth review once I have completed the game so, for those who might be interested in a fan's perspective it will be coming shortly. Unfortunately I start classes on Tuesday so it might take a bit longer than I like. Luckily I only have classes on Tue/Thur and I have one of the best jobs in the world so work is a non-issue
