italy ans spain of course will give poor scores.... of course.

dont worry

france is coming too. Europe will keep this good game to the expected sub-9/10 score it deserves

Finally, a Halo game rated fairly !

You played the game?

nah

but it is common sense that a 9/10 for ODST is overrated

it was already true for Halo3 ...

marketing is marketing.

Same go for GTA4 ... (never played any GTA games but I remember a time when reviewer put them 6-7/10 ...)

You seriously think Halo 3 didn't deserve its scores?

The campaign can be replayed many times even with friends cooperatively (2 players on the same screen, 4 players online), the online component is good old Halo (though misses a few tricks from Halo 2, but still), Forge is just incredible, etc.. I just can't imagine how addicting ODST will be with Firefight and the single player mode. Bungie have a good track record, no need to diss a game because it feels like an expansion pack.

And about GTA, GTA Vice City and San Andreas deserved their scores as well because it changed a lot of things in the series. GTA4 was also very good, the new driving controls, physics engine and storyline with the cutscenes were really well done. Plus, you can expand your playtime with DLC episodes. It's a living breathing city on a little disc! Rockstar are the kings at doing just that.
