80 - 85. It's a game that focuses on gameplay rather than being an interactive movie so it loses 10 points by the gaming media automatically.

I'd wait for it to come out at least before explaining away the low score you think it will receive.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Going to go with 85 on this one.



85 though I wouldn't buy it even if it gets 90+. RTS isn't for me.

I'll go with 78. That reminds me of the original Halo Wars: I had three friends who were really big fans of Halo, and then they played Halo Wars, and not understanding that it was meant to be different, all hated the Halo series after that.

I hear you, but hopefully this being the second game will mitigate that.

I just don't see it getting over 82 though. Its a console RTS...I just don't know that people can love that enough. Really console RTS is a genre in itself, its not meant to have the depth of Starcraft or Civ or something. And obviously its not a shooter.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

I think it'll get a decent MC score, but idt it matters necessarily in terms of sales. RTS games on consoles are pretty niche. And Amazon isnt the end all be all, but HW2 is 1 day from release and is still at #26. And it was at #33 still when I saw it Wednesday evening.
