I haven't seen single best scale comment, and from all I've seen from AW, it won't come anywhere near the scale of first 5 minutes of GoW3. Reviewers are pointing out bad textures, dated character models, stiffy animation, not impressive daylight settings and sub-HD resolution.
The only thing everyone is praising is lighting. Which is to be expected, since it's the main focus of the whole game.
So drop these delusional googles and accept the fact, that AW is nowhere near as you claimed it to be from the technical standpoint. And remember this for the future, to save yourself the embarasment.
MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
