go ign uk!!!

... loved this game btw

 You think they could be taking in other parts of the game that arn't listen in those categories.  Like... the story for example.  Which isn't taken in consideration in any of these 5 categories.

2 people with different opinions, very shocking.

I'm sure there are people within IGN US that would have scored it differently as well (higher or lower).

Also, the thread title is misleading.

Reviews are subjective, only sales are objective

IGN UK and IGN USA are completely different reviewers.. what difference does it make how close they were to each others score.. its like comparing gametrailers scores with 1ups...

No More Heroes is a game with monumental amounts of awesomeness, attitude, and great writing, but some pretty notable gameplay issues, like a very linear structuce, and lots of repetitive mini-games you have to play between plot development.

The scores the game gets depends a lot on what the reviewers are emphasizing, and possibly how professional they are, if you want to put a negative spin on it.

I have a history of being able to ignore certain issues in a game if I absolutely adore other parts of it, and No More Heroes looks like it'll continue the tradition.

I dunno.  On my first playthrough I didn't play any of the Mini-games more then once.  Just did each one once and then did the assassanations as they got you more money.  After i got the "Kill 100 people" mission i didn't even need to do any of the other minigames but did just to see what they were.

8.9 i much closer to what the game deserves. 7.8? I think that guy missed the point of the game.

finally!!! a great 3rd party exclusive for Wii!!! :)

If this game gets a 8.9 the GTA4 should get a 12.
