Good early sign.

A solid shooter, even if not AAA.

Are you really wanting to make a statement as bold as it's not AAA based on one review? Didn't your beloved Fable 2 get a 7.5? Not to mention the metacritic is still 100. And don't give the excuse of it being rated 5/5 only because it was a PS mag either because calculate just where your beloved Fable 2 would be sitting metacritic wise without the xbox mags.

 

I made no such statement.  I said that at the very least the title is a solid shooter, but may not end up AAA.  If you look closely, you'll find Fable 2 is already mentioned in this thread

As for PS mags, whether you like it or not, the last year or two they have been FAR more generous than Xbox mags, which have been particularly harsh in recent times.

 

That is not 100% true when they give Uncharted 80% and Warhawk and Motorstorm 2 60%.

I would buy a PS3 this month for this if it had mouse and keyboard support. But it doesn't, and FPS with dual analog scheme just sucks.

 

 Okay thats a valid opinion. I like the mouse for aiming, but the keyboard sucks for controls. Thats why I never play computer games.

 

People only like keyboard and mouse because its easier. Get some skill seriously. I bet if you made a PC gamer play a FPS on a console, and made a console gamer play a PC FPS, the console gamer would do much better.

Is that based on your playtime with the game, or on what you expect it to score on an aggregate site like Metacritic?

The latter.  In fact, according to my bet with MakingMusic, if this game gets 90+% on Metacritic, I have to purchase it and add him on PSN to prove it.

 

 

I don't remember that part of the bet, but why the hell not?  :D

Guys, lay off of Starcraft. If he's wrong (is this really a question? lulz), then he'll be posting with a Helghast as his avatar for a couple of weeks.

Here's a list of their other recent reviews:

"I am going to buy a PS3 at the next substantial price cut, so how's this?  If Killzone 2 goes AAA I will personally buy it and add you to my PSN list to prove it!!!!"

Link in your sig.

That's a bold statement for something completely subjective.

A whole three paragraphs? What a review! :P

I'd like to see some details of what reviewers think about a game rather than a very generalized view.

You mean it's not the best thing ever?
