I was only expecting a metacritic score in the 70s (probably low 70s) and this review only seems to confirm that eventually happening.

Looks like I'll stick to my original plan of passing on this game. If the reviews were 'good' (good=metacritic of high 70's) then I may have considered getting it but from the looks of things, my money is better spent elsewhere.

not pointing you out... but am always shocked over how power ppl let reviews and numbers have... these ppl may not have your taste all,

The thing is I was never interested in this game in the first place. However, if the reviews were high enough I'd consider 'giving it a go'. Given I don't have enough money to buy every game, I obviously have to choose some games over other games, and if that means using reviews as a guideline to make my decisions, so be it.

Also, WKC is essentially a 1 year old game, that will be selling for full price. Standards/expectations rise over time (thank Uncharted 2 among other games for that). What chance does it have agaisnt games that are essentially 12 months ahead of it.
