IGN AU review: 8.9

IGN AU says that the story is just an excuse for the gameplay wheras Gamepro says that while not perfect, the writing and dialouge are better than the original.

I thought they said the Gear of War series was supposed to be a trilogy....

My favorite games for this gen:

1. Gears of War 2. MGS4 3. Killzone 2 4. Halo 3(Underated by many) 5. Mass Effect

ign(au) gives it a 8.9/10 which is quite unreasonable
look at the review, it's roughly done and lacks detail

Both IGN UK and AU reviews for the game for roughly done. They are only 2 pages long yet IGN US's review was 6 pages long and went into serious detail

No idea with the new Gamespot review (and other reviews), but it's probably still at 9.5. I'll update the OP tommorow.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Updated the OP.

The game now has an overall score of 9.4 (thanks to the 2 reviews from PALGN and IGN UK).
