Hahaha okay then.

I just listed what THE REVIEWER said. Not my words. And asked how the game came close to a 9 when "nothing" new has been added. How can INNOVATION be at ~9?

And stop flaming me! You say it dosent play like any of the others, but almost every review out there so far says otherwise. And then you go on to say that you havent even finished reading the Review. Fail much?

I think, and stop me if I'm wrong...that you believe the game is getting reviewed too well?

What do you think about the game? What score would you give it, if you had to guess?

Go ahead. Guess.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

It's not a typical Halo games though, I just think MS wanted a Halo games this time of year and knew it would sell millions, and it payed off. It's not GOY, but a good addition to the HALO games. I say 85 average which seems fair.

It's an expansion pack also, for 59.99 and a 4 hour campaign, with little new MP content.

Considering all that, these reviews are beyond spectacular.

where are you getting the 4 hours campaign from? Anyway, any other game without Halo name on it, this game would have been distroyed, Ign gave the graphics A 9, lol, but as always the multiplayer aspect saves it. Does this game deserve a 9, Let wait until the fans play it.

Great reviews. Hopefully my roommate gets this. Can someone tell me if the firefight mode will allow two players on the same system to go online, like in Halo 3, 2+ players can go online as guests and play competetive multiplayer?

Who knows what it "deserves."

The G4 review in this thread said it's between 4 and 9 hours long, if I recall, depending on how you play, because the game is non-linear.

Also, the muliplayer has co-op.

Dont see how Innovation can be at 8.7 when he complains about old graphics, same gameplay, no new guns or vehicles, and that Bungie had lied about this being completly new game experience.

8s have become the new "average" with alot of reviewers.

           How is that ice cold glass of hateraid.  Seriously, looks like reviews are going to be great and sales will be through the roof.  Well.......you can always hope that Reach will suck......right.......right??

Yes because I clearly said the game was shit and sales would flop!? Stop hurting youself.

           Thats just it MAFKKA, you didnt say anything productive, or possitive at all.  You simply jumped in, posted that "8's seem to be the new average with a lot of reviewers" and "how bungie lied" and then jumped out.  You didnt add anything remotely intelligent to the thread.  Thats what haters do.

I am not hurting myself, but your fanboy comments hurt my soul......

So, for the "negative" (with respect to a halo game) reviews..

8 from eurogamer

8 from destructoid

7 from gamesradar

A-(Less than 85) from 1Up

8.6 from IGN UK

8 from Gamesdaily

8 from gamespy

8 from giant bomb

 

 

Okay I laughed out loud at the bolded part. Assuming the written part of the review coincides with the score, an 8 is not being negative. All this AAA nonsense seems to make people forget that an 8 is a very good score.

Never played it so i wouldn't know. And thats not really what i was asking. I dont have anything against a game i havent even seen gameplay videos of, i mean how could i?

What i asked was how the reviewer could put down a 8.7 for Innovation when he complains about nothing being new? Fair question... atleast i thought so?

If Innovation hadn't been apart of his rating, i wouldnt have thought he was off on the scores, since he clearly enjoyed the game and the review was well written. But when all the "bad" parts was that nothing had changed and that he felt that Bungie had lied (his words) about the game being completly new, i find it "strange" that it still can be rated as GREAT INNOVATION.
