Actually, a Metacritic Score of about 85%, or even lower, wouldn't surprise me at all. Many reviewers are going to be very picky with this one. Unless the game is perfect, some will mark it down heavily for failing to meet their personal expectations. If it had come out a year or two ago, things would be different, but, after the enormous delays, everyone is expecting something special, and a solid GT game will not be special enough for most.

Many fanboys may be in tears by the end of tomorrow.

Looks like I hit the nail on the head yesterday.

Looks like i agreed :p
Its sad though :(

I wouldn't say it's sad. The reviews will be overall very positive, interspersed with those who are disappointed for one reason or another, those who didn't give play the game in depth, or those who bear a grudge for whatever silly reason; however, none of that matters as we still get the game, and we can all play it.

So, in short, a reason to be happy, not sad, as we can all play GT5. Finally. We've waited long enough for the game, and it seems it does exactly what any sane person expected it to do, so what's not to like.

Personally, all I really want is a reasonably priced car on the Top Gear track -- kinda sad, I know.

Good post! I really don't understand why people are so hung up on reivew scores anyway, I learned years ago to pretty much disregard them for really big titles. I've lost count of all the 90 metascored games that have disappointed me this gen, seems like almost every game with a decent budget is pulling in 9's so there's something fishy about.

I doubt it'll get below 85. Seems like a lot of reviews rolling in are 8's with a smattering of 8.5s and 9's and the odd 10. I think only the churlish, the overly critical (because it was a long time coming), and the non-fan of car sims will give it below 8.
