how was it, ive got all the halos no doubt il deffo pick this up later on down the line. how does it compare to halo 3

And only 1 is under 89 out of 105 xD. Basically 2/105 are claiming it to be AA and not AAA. Uncharted 2 <333

Reach is at 92 now. Good number, same as GoW3.

Tsk tsk, back to 92. But surely it can't be worse than Halo 3 -  is it Halo 3 overrated then alongside the Modern Warfares? Or maybe the game is indeed a technical improvement but still brings a lot of the same?

To keep it simple...

It takes a huge shit all over Halo 3. Twice.

*clears throat* Okay, everyone. This is not a thread to talk about Uncharted 2. This thread, as per the subject, is about Halo: Reach. Get back to the topic; further deviations will result in moderation.

back upto 93 now, i predict 93-94 when all is settled.

sigh....yea I noticed that

Well since users commonly vastly overrate games I would assume that Reach's user score is because of people coming in with the intent of lowering it.  Just like when we had a user rating back in the day.

Arent there gonna be like 2x more reviews? Theres only 48 reviews now. Should atleast be like 80 reviews.

It could end up at 94-91 if it goes really good/really bad :o

The problem with trying to compare the metacritic score of Halo 3 and Halo: Reach is that there is a three-year gap from when they were released.  Since Halo 3, there have been many great games that have significantly raised the bar for what people expect and hope for in a game.  So even though Halo: Reach technically offers a lot more than what Halo 3 did, Halo: Reach is being judged under today's standards, which have certainly changed from three years ago.

That being said, anything above 90 is still an amazing score, so Halo: Reach has certainly met expectations.
