LOL @ two lines per paragraph, stating "no interactivity" as a con (wtf at that) en completely missing the point of the entire game :s Also lol @ how they feel it was a failed attempt at something extremely bold.

You don't see "no interactivity" as a con in a game?

Some of their reviews (Their website is really strange so it's hard to find something but anyway) :

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (8/10)
Mass Effect 2 (9/10)
Forza Motorsport 3 (8/10)
Halo 3: ODST (7/10)
3D Dot Game Heroes (6/10)
inFamous (6/10)
Killzone 2 (7/10)
Uncharted 2 (9/10)


not much wrong there... maybe one point too low here and there.

inFamous is definately 8+ game, Killzone 9+


In your opinion and thats fine....  imo killzone is an 8.5 and infamous is a 7 at best.  Its about opinions. 

The ps3 fans here arent doing themselves any favours constantly picking on poor reviews of games like a set of childish bullies...

I ask again... does it matter?

Yes my dear, it's my opinion, and than opinion of over a hundred critics:

inFamous - 85 (98 reviews)

Killzone 2 - 91 (95 reviews)

We all know you are dead set against the PS3, so it's not surprising, but you are the one, who's in the minority here (not as a Xbox fan, but without universaly recognised opinion). Thanks, case closed.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Well he certainly made some good points that I could see from the demo.

Even after only 30 minutes my hand started to hurt from holding the L2 button (I hope it was L2...) and some of the QTE are really unnecessary and too long (demo fighting scene was a good example of that)

However I think the review is fair, while the score is probably a bit too harsh



jneul on 23 February 2010

This is bad, reviewers should be taught to give unbiased scores not based on their tastes of gaming, if there is nothing wrong with the game i.e. bugs, glitches, freezing, then there is no real reason to mark down as this much, from what I have played on so far it is not a game for everyone but to me it is a 9/10 game, can't wait until I can afford to but it.



it's the future of handheld

Uhm... in the game that's probably the most interactive you'll see in a while, stating "no interactivity" is a laughable con though :)

Teletext has been around for years and reviewed games for just as long, so there's nothing mickey mouse about them. Either way I'm still getting the game.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Still can't understand why they gave Killzone 2 such a high score.

I love every 80+ released FPS this gen, but Killzone 2 is the one I had by far the least fun.



Icyedge on 23 February 2010

I cant see how any mature person would hate this game to that point. Edge 7/10 was fair enough, since its all a matter of liking and opinion, but 4/10 really? Cross edge or Rogue Warrior got more than that. lol

How silly.  you quote averages of metacritic to prove my opinions wrong?   I said 85 for killzone 2... average is 91...there will be reviews on there much lover than 85...    just stop.

Dont people realise how silly it is to say "I think a game is worth 9/10 therefore any review lower than 8 is not a worthwhile review"... thats how it has been here recently.

 

 

Well, I'm not attacking the review because of its score, but mainly because of why he gave it that score and his way of justifying it. Having played the game, there are just some things that are plain wrong, even if you hate the game.

Ah, another "praise/kill the review site depending on score" thread. This time it's pitchfork time.

Of all the many hypes we already saw this gen on all consoles, the one which emerged around Heavy Rain during the last few weeks feels like the strangest and most faked one to me. Quick time hype, so to speak.
