Stinky on 20 March 2013
I've observed a pile of reviews break down to "+great game" then knock some score off "-it's gears". This is hardly objective appraisal, each game released should be assessed on its merit, downscoring it because it's part of a franchise is highly disingenuous and borderline fanboy. The buyer either loves gears and has all the series, and is buying because they want more gears fully aware of what a gears title will be, or they are a gears noob and the prior titles have no significance to them.
This applies to any franchise.
