If the demo is any indication of the the whole game, and I believe it is, than it is far better than a 3 out of 10. The gameplay is more than solid and the cutting technique is both fresh and fun.

The only complaint I have is the plot is nonsense and the writing is nothing but exposition. But that is the very definition of Metal Gear story telling. It may be nonsense but it makes about as much sense as any MGS I've played. Well except for the first MGS, that almost made sense.

I've read three reviews for MGR:R and they have all been very positive and match up with what I felt about the demo. I'll have to read this Playstation Lifestyle review just to see a differing opinion, but since I've never heard of the website before I find the situation very dubious. Is it even a legit website or is it just some dude's blog that desperately wants to be a legit website?


lol you must've never owned a PS console to not know who PlayStationLifeStyle is! They are legit alright, Metacritics counts their reviews in gamescores even.

I own nearly every Playstation console/handheld. I just stick to multiplatform websites. I haven't frequented a fanboy website like Playstation Lifestyle since the Dreamcast days.

I would not consider Metacritic as a legitimize of websites. Quarter to Three is just plain terrible and it's reviews get ranked. Metacritic sweeps with a broad broom and trash gets caught in its bristles more often than not. I'm not saying Playstation Lifestyle is trash, I'm just saying that Metacritic is not the authority on trustworthy reviewers.

BTW, I read the review and it doesn't match up with the demo I played. I'm calling shenanigans on the review. The game is not an unplayable 3/10. It may not be better than a 7 or 8 or even a 6, but a 3 it is not.

 

There's a distinction between 'fan' and 'fanboy', careful! Playstation Lifestyle is generally a decent resource for information; they seem to take their journalism and integrity more seriously than most sites.

I haven't played Revengeance though, so I can't comment on the accuracy of the review.
