Giving bad marks to highly expected games = hits = money from advertisement nowadays.

Also, too highly expected games can disappoint. You want it perfect, so every little flaw becomes a big deal.

Probably the best example of that being GT5. If it was GT1, everybody would have been blown by it, and the sales would have been very poor. But it's number 5, high expectations, high disappointment, but still high sales.

Anyways, I didn't play the game, so maybe 86 "only" is diserved.

agreed

Holy shit. Jim Sterling gave KZ3 a 10/10? Did he get layed right before he did the review or what?

Most of the reviews are awesome... All of them had one thing in common...

The Realism and the Graphic technology is phenominal and something you HAVE TO SEE....Perhaps the BEST YET for console games....

Some reviewers are stating that Killzone 3 makes Killzone 2 look like Killzone 1... I cant wait to dim the lights and load this 44 gigabyte next gen masterpiece up....  

this game would fit on 9 dvds lol

download the beta, game looks great. but considering we saw so much on the snow level you wont be that impressed. 

lol the beta is nothing... just wait till you play the game.. ur gonna be shocked...

Wait till you see the jungle level... and all the varieties of locations... the snow level is the weakest .. trust me 

After playing the Beta I can see why this game has a average of 86% on Metacritic. Overall Killzone 3 isn't doing anything to distinguish itself from other FPS. Instead of worrying about Killzone it's trying to appeal to other crowds which is dumb. The Multiplayer to me isn't really that good and it is lacking a lot. Only 8 maps and 3 different game modes ? Really ? GG adds Co-op and didn't even have a brain to add online Co-op ? Killzone 2 we asked for online Co-op.... This game has splitscreen Co-op but doesn't include online. Also the maps can be extremely unbalanced... Yes I'm complaining about the online since that's all I can judge least for now. I believe Killzone 2 is rated higher of the impact it had when it was released. I actually prefer Killzone 2 over Killzone 3 for numerous reasons. GG took a step back on this game. 

I've read the reviews. Second I've played in both the open beta and the closed beta. So I believe I know what I'm talking about. Reviews are just references. So should I take the reviews over my own opinion ? Especially when I've played 3 out of the 8 maps already ? 

Why wouldn't my post say what it does ? I wrote it from a personal experience playing both the closed beta and open beta. I believe I implied that I can't say anything about the single player because I haven't played it yet. However I can comment on the multiplayer since I've played that.  Reviewers say a lot of things. They also said MW2 online was amazing. Yet in reality most of the COD fans hated MW2 online.
