Same for the story. “There's some good humor in it, but the story isn't very interesting, and the ending is a letdown.” I understand they don’t want to spoilt things for people, but is it not interesting compared to previous R&C titles, or what? He does explain the ending is a cheap cliff hanger however, but is that what ultimately made the story a letdown? Because even a simple story for a game works fine, provided you still get proper closure.
Perhaps they do have very good reasons for their scores, but they need to further elaborate on why to avoid these kinds of accusations of favoritism or incompetence. It’s also cop-out to use the collective anonymous asses of the internet to avoid answering valid criticism when you’re confronted with it

I agree, but I don't think there's a truly objective reason for the score if you compare it to Conan or much higher rated yet boring poorly executed games like Condemned on the XBox 360.
Their criticism with regard to the story is interesting as some other reviewers especially praised the story telling and highlighted it in their summaries.
IGN: "Insomniac has created its most intriguing and diverse universe yet. The story is strong and ends with closure and a cliffhanger (figure that one out), while load times rarely exist."
To Gamespot: Where's the story in Gears of War and where's the innovation in Halo 3? I like hard reviews and criticism but please do so equally with all the games you review.
