How can a 6 hour game be worth a 9? $10 an hour to play the thing to completion. Some people aren't into multiplayer. All I read from this review is I'm a sucker for Halo games. It's one review. It's fine. Hopefully you take it for what it is; one man's opinion. And who judges games by Metacritic? Look at where their scores come from...I use IGN usually, they seem to be very fair with their reviews. If there is a discrepancy, I'll look around. I hope Halo is a 9, but I dont see that being true.

They can't really split the review into something like this:

  • If you aren't into multiplayer, this game gets a 7-- it's short.
  • If you're only into multiplayer, THIS GAME GETS A BITCHING 10!!!!!11!!1

The general Halo audience likes multiplayer a lot so that's factored pretty heavily into the score.  Also, from reading the legitimate reviews of the game, it's a really good six hours (assuming you like Halo).
