Its by Jim Sterling hence it shouldn't count.

But metacritic will still use it.

I will include the review in my OP but I will say its not to be trusted.

Edit: lol he's getting flamed on the comments wall of the reviews



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Jim Sterling is the biggest troll in game journalism.I'm guessing he thinks he's all intellectual and stuff but I think he's despicable . Oh well shame on Destructoid for supporting him.

*is waiting for twesterm to say how much he loooooves Sterling bla bla bla*

I'm guessing the lack of multiplayer is to blame for these scores, although i wont know til i actully play it.

I thought it was due how incredibly short the game is (6 hours max). But yeah, a good multiplay would bring a lot of lasting appeal.

Any quoted timeframe for completing this game is suspect. The game's in-game timer keeps track of yoru progress down to the second, but it only tracks your time when you complete missions segments. Die and the clock is reset. Cutscenes don't count, either.

I just spent four hours beating the first two Acts in the game. My in-game clock time was 2:17:some odd seconds.

Also

It should be noted

This game is a blast.

I would get the game but the 6 hour game length is why I probably wont......

Maybe when its cheaper or used, Sorry Sega...should of made it freaking longer

6 hours isn't a realistic expectation for gamers of roughly my skill level - I just spent 4 hours getting ~40% of the way through the game.

Still gonna pick up the game because it's fuckin awesome but don't have the time this year so gonna have to play next year.

The scores are getting lower and lower YAY!



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

darth when you said Jim Sterling gave it a 5,  i thought you meant 5 out of 5. it seems that he didnt like the game at all as its 5/10 not 5/5 as i thought. either way, its obvious that the western reviews that are about 8.5 or lower are focusing on things like story, character development and length. comparatively something like MW2 has a 4 hour campagian, or can anybody really say that western shooters like Gears or Halo have rich characters built over a tapestry of Shakesphearian storytelling.

either way, its obvious that a lot of reviews are discrediting things that are probabily weaker in western shooters, gonna trust the Jp reviews for this one!!
