Forums - Sony Discussion - Great Heavenly Sword Review. 9.7/10

Sorry Hus, but who the hell is nextgenireland? Did they give Sonic for the PS3 a 9.5, or did they give Bioshock a 5.5?

I don't have any sort of problem with the score, just with the site. Guess I have to wait for EGMs score....

I had my hopes up, but then I realised what site that was. No offence to anyone, but that place is about as neutral as Sony Defence Force, Play Magazine, Nintendo Power, or any "the Official *console* Magazine".

My guess is that this will be about as good as the God of War games. A solid chance of hitting a million copies sold this year, and the lower age rating should help a bit.

They gave Gears 10, Halo 2 9.1 and Forza 2 9.3, hardly PS biased. Also Play is a multiplat reviewer.

They gave out a 9.0 for COD3 on PS3 and a 9.4 for Motorstorm, so I'd say its safe to say this site ranks things just a little bit higher than they should be.

Saiyar, where are the Gears, Halo and Forza reviews on that site? I clicked on the reviews tab and all it has is PS games.

nice review

Play isn't a total joke like SDF, but it had the highest variation from the average scores in favour of Sony and away from the other two consoles. That's pretty much the definition of bias to me.

However with the site in question I never noticed they had anything else than Sony games reviewed either. They even rated CoD3 higher on the Wii than the PS3, so it does seem rather silly to blame them for Sony bias.

So err... please partially forget what I just said. Completely ignoring me just this once is fine too. =P

 They gave high points that is true but they don't give it only for PS game so one thing (for me) is that they don't look biased.

Seems like a pretty good site to me, im glad ps3 sites can give honost reviews to other consoles

Maybe they could be completely and total unbiased like sony defense force?



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Guys just face it, this game is going to get great reviews, maybe not reviews like this, but it is still gonna be an amazing game. We should wait for IGN though to make sure that when people buy it they don't get dissapointed.
