True, just noticed that. Other sites are giving 8s and 9s.

Scores all over the place are never a good sign for me, especially when IGN AND Gamespot can agree on something.

It will lower a bit. Trust me.

He was playing on hard and bitching... The hell, I was thinking he was on normal mode. Why would I beleve any reviews after this.

I was expecting a better score, but oh well!

You don't have to play it on hard. Some of the things he said don't ring true either. He mentions that even when he was hiding in a locker, he still got caught, while Jim Sterling pointed out that even when you're hiding, you have to be careful when using the radar because the sound can attract the alien if it's close by. My guess is that Ryan used the radar too much while in that locker. His accusation of it being 'too long' sounds more like his own lack of patience and if you have a lack of patience, stealth games are not for you. To call the AI 'unpredictable' is to call something all developers are striving for, a bad thing. Interestingly he's now changed it to 'frunstrating AI'. Funny that, sisn't it. IGN is so far out of whack with some of the better reviews that I simply have to think Ryan is into shooters. He'll give HALO a good score though.

Please people the buck doesn't stop with IGN/ Gamespot. Look to other places for more ''rounded'' opinions and see for yourself.

I've had a chance to play the game, it does have its flaws, but ''15hr campaign'' and ''unpredictable AI'' I can assure you is not something that should hacked knocked the score down so low.

Look at other reviews. Eurogamer gave it an 8. This reminds me of Zombi U reviews.

20 points behind the game's Metascore.. I personally wouldn't trust it too much.

Gamespot and IGN basically gave it the same score.

Based on IGN video review, I don't think this game is for me. It sounds like many hours to tedious gameplay.

Essh, looks like I will be skipping another one
