Word of mouth is the exact same as critics reviews really. And I think HVS's previous games should be enough to sit on the fence about the Conduit 2. |
They are not. Chinatown Wars got tepid word of mouth compared to reviews, and load of "casual" games get better word of mouth compared to critical bashing.
Black Ops has pretty good word of mouth despite how critics insist it's a vastly inferior game to Modern Warfare 2, and I've seen Homefront getting better word of mouth compared to the reviews.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
