Forums - Sony - Dissenting opinion. G.I. gives S.W.F.U. PS3/360 8.75. Do you like it?

Game Informer seems to be disagreeing with many other review sources and seems to really love the PS3/360 versions of Force Unleashed.  Both reviewers gave it a 8.75/10.  Personally, I'm REALLY enjoying the PS3 version.  They gave the Wii version 7.75/10.

We've talked a lot about the modern "broken" review system.  It's kinda funny when I think about GTA4 getting tons of perfect or near perfect scores and I had to force myself to play it, but SWFU mostly gets average scores and I love it.  Perfect example of how you need to be in touch with your own personal tastes in gaming and take review scores with a grain of salt.  At the very least, try to find a review source that seems to mirror your personal tastes since their opinions are more likely to match your own.  Bottom line, don't let reviews completely sway you one way or another on a game.

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

I agree with that. 2 of my favourite games are scored in the mid to high 50's. If I read reviews, then I wouldn't have played them for the ~100+hrs I did.

 Don't leave me hangin'.  What are those 2 games?

They also rated Infinite Undiscovery higher than Tales of Vesperia. They're really going against the grain this month.



OFF TOPIC. Hey makingmusic...are you the same makingmusic that used to post on eProductwars? I used to post as Brian. If so, nice to talk to you again. I took a peek at that site for the first time in many months and, if you can believe it, it's even more overrun with spam than before.

Digimon World 2 = 52%

Digimon Digital Card Battle = 58%

All the digimon games are ranked poorly (except the DS ones).

Brian?  That Sony shill?

In other words, yes, I am one and the same.  And yes, I can totally believe it. 

Haha, it's been so long since I've been to that place.  It seemed pretty useless after the legendary January 4th, though it was basically useless long before then.
