They said it lost a point because it was too familiar. Was that the only con of the game. If so it deserved a 10. This is the same magazine that gave Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2 a 10. Weren't these game similar to the first game. I'm not saying they didn't deserve a 10 but wouldn't the same concept apply with them. I think this mag just dislikes god of war.

this is a very old discussion in video games review ...

It is hard to determine when you have to change or when you can continue to make the "same"

I do believe the problem may be because GoW1/2 were on PS2 and GoW3 is on PS3 so they were expecting a more next gen gameplay, perhaps, also, because of bayonetta recent release ... I dont know.

At the opposite, a game like SFIV (or the future Super SFIV) is praised to hell despite being the EXACT (90%) copy ot the past SF 1/2/3 in false 3D ...

Same go for all the FPS (from Halo to CoD) were the gameplay is mostly the same ... since 10-15 years ?

Time to Work !

Kind of low if you ask me.

The big problem in reviews nowadays is consistency. Company doesnt seem to regulate on how much point should be given to each category. Sometime a fairly small problem will substract a whole point while a much bigger one on another game will not substract any. Reviewers inside the same company should have the same evaluation grid, but it doesnt seem to be the case with most companies. Another thing is that, many video-game reviewer do unrational hating or loving. Even if he dont like a game, a good reviewer should be able to see what can please other and the work/effort put behind a game. I think in the whole media industry, its by far, the video-game reviews that are the most unprofessional, sometime its like reading a fanboy whos suppose to be journalist, looking at IGN.
