I thought the demo was decent. Nothing special. This is in line with their review.

Surely 5.9 is better then average? Or has the rating system on review sites/magazines been lost over the years.

But I played the demo and thought it okay but then it's not my sort of game.

so both 360 and PS3 versions got the same mediocre score...I think I'll pass on this game, unless of couse this is just a "whipping boy" review as stated above.
Maybe I'll wait for some other reviews first before deciding whether or not to bother renting it...

A score of 5.9 seems pretty low, the game was far from great but it seemed better then a 5.9 in todays review system. I just hope this guy is not the person going to review the rest of the shooters this holiday season. Or R2 and Gears2 could end of with scores in the low 8's.

I should say a 6.9, They are a Game/Business Magazine, must have other factors as invesments/expectations on this too, because it's a well done game, I played the DEMO.. isn't bad, but as others said, "not my type of game - NMTG". I think it's equal the 10 of GTA IV... same way.. bye!

This game is a 7.0. It´s not so bad. The demo is decent and the multiplayer migth be funny, with you throwing people up with the terraforming weapon. The thing is, if it isn´t hyped as hell they bash any shooter that comes out. Pick the demo and then make your judgement. Don´t trust reviews.

Did anyone seriously expect this game to turn out well?

This.

Err it was because I was unsure why there was a difference. The score kinda answers the question now doesn't it?

I expected atleast a 6.5... something not amazing but passable.
