this was about gamespots double standards in rating.. not about how they rated that particular game
as for the game itself im just suprised that they gave it a 9 when it has these flaws with the singleplayer... if the story is bad and the characters generic and unlikable.. that does seem like a big problem for singleplayer.. because you play the game partially for the story dont you?
before this discussion turns into the vgchartz typical 4 pages and beyond dialoge between us .. , this is all i have to say about it
i dont understand a 9 from some of the most rigid reviewers i know ..while other games that have only minor flaws get a 7 or 8 . something
