I'm sorry, did IGN just say "5 hours single Player campaign"?????

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I don't care how long the multiplayer are, I don't have gold membership, 5 hours single player means I'm out

either way theres co-op and all that good stuff. replayability is also good. you should be on board for this one, it looks really good.

is the co-op playable via local split-screen?

 

else it's still 5 hours for me, too much for full price, regardless how fun the 5 hours are.... Potential rental.

9/10 from GameInformer too.

 

So: 8, 9, 9, 9.3...

Thats IGN UK and how can a game get a 9,3 without a 9+ in any of the 5 categories?

Yep, local splitscreen has been confirmed.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

IGN's review is REALLY odd...

9.0 Presentation
Stylish menus and cool projection technology make for a unique experience. The story is an amalgamation of different seasons of 24, but it's nice to see Sam so angry.

8.5 Graphics
Nice animations. Gritty but good-looking environments. The framerate occasionally dips, but it's nothing major.

9.0 Sound
Michael Ironside does a great job reprising his role as Sam Fisher. The enemies have some nice quips. Solid musical score.

9.0 Gameplay
Stealth is fast and fun. Mark & Execute is a great addition. The AI is excellent if you play on Realistic difficulty.

8.0 Lasting Appeal
The single-player and co-op campaigns are short, but there's a lot of other things to do. And you'll probably want to play through everything more than once.

9.3
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10)

9.3, with no single score over 9... Including an 8 and an 8.5? (The 8 being a biggie as it's lasting appeal)

Seems strange to me...

Oh, and it just turned into a rental.

5 hours? I'm out.

it's called... being GTAIV-ized.

 

also known as.... early review bonus points.

GTA IV didn't just get good reviews early, it got them across the board.

^
but they could have at least gave 1 or 2 categories a 9 or 9,5 to making it look more realistic
guess this game will have an 85%-88% metacritic
if even EDGE gives this game an 8, it cant be too good
