Oh please, what's not derivative about combat controls in these games? (PS3) square square square; triangle triangle triangle; square triangle triangle; square triangle square; Circle for special move / start a special move. It's how we like it so why mark it down becuase it uses combat controls everyone is comfortable with.
I expect DI to average out to 8-8.5. If it averages below 8 I think reviewers will have been overly harsh because of it having borrowed heavily from GoW.
Derivative will be the word du jour for the reviewers on this one and those of a mind to do it will use it as an excuse to punish the game. A la IGN.
If IGN give GoW III >9 then they will have been unreasonably hard on DI. Based only on the demo of course, DI seems to deserve to be within 1 point of GoW III (can you see IGN giving GoW III and 8.5 or less? I suppose it's possible). And based only on the demos DI deserves to be on par with another recently released game starting with B. Just my opinion.
