I think those kinds of reviews should be banned from metacritic and gamerankings, its obviously fanboy drivel.

Why aren't the perfect scores banned as well? They have just as much of a chance to be fanboy drivel....

People should just be happy the game got a 92.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

91.90 now :P lol so many damn reviews piling in...

 

For reference heres the other Halo rankings.

Halo 1 95.58%

Halo 2 94.56%

Halo 3 93.53%

Halo Reach 91.90%

Halo ODST 85.14%

Halo Wars 81.92%

It's interesting that if Reach gets a 92% basically each game basically dropped 1% in overall score. Though so far It's pretty close to my 93% prediction .



It's just that simple.

Reach - 20 100%'s/69 reviews
GOWIII - 20 100%'s/100 reviews
RDR - 25 (X360) 100%'s/96 reviews - 21 (PS3) 100%'s/73 reviews
ME2 - 30 100%'s/98 reviews

Updated, could pass RDR on 360 for amount of perfect scores still.

Maybe it could pass Uncharted 2 on 39 100%'s out of 105 reviews if it does extremly well :)

But do sales equal quality? :) Sorry had to butt in

Halo Reach had some really good reviews, maybe it deserved higher, maybe not. It's probably wont win game of the year though, atleast for IGN.



Scores of 50 like Gameshark and AVClub posted are obviously trolling. Even if shooters aren't your cup of tea, one must admit that Reach has a high level of production and gameplay tuning, combined with the culminated feedback of four previous games.

I've hardly seen reviews mention the finesse of the new healthpack system or how 4 shot has been eliminated, how skill allows one to fend against the previously invincible sword lunge. With a game as high profile as Reach, reviews are fairly pointless; either you like Halo and you know you're going to get what you want with Reach, or you don't like Halo.

Touché and indeed :D



Halo Reach is down at 91 on metacritic, same score as Killzone 2 (Which is a good one). Hoping Killzone 3 will make it higher and future Halo games aswell :).



He's not lying guys...

Reviewers can suck my dick!
