Scroll up.

This is why I refuse to use metacritic.

L4D shouldn't be AAA to begin with. Metacritic has always scored A+ as 100 and A as 100 as well, when it should be a 95.

If a site they use doesn't give a number score (Variety), they choose a score based on what they think the review equates to.

I don't like them. Never did.

IGN AU's review is yet to be added...

Dont get too excited JUST yet...

Metacritic does not consider IGN AU nor IGN UK.

They sure do. http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/assassinscreed2 first game I looked at (Just a random click) both 88.

Shame about the aussie government toning this game down so badly.

Valve have risen the bar with this one, i like Left 4 Dead, but i LOVE Left 4 Dead 2, a truly exceptional game.

I hope this does not succumb to Fable 2 syndrome: Where it's AAA classification is stolen at the last minute.

I hate how the grade their letters too. A B = 75? In school a B was usually 80 - 90. 80 being B-

Metacritic is a crock of shit. Always has been.

Thank god fables was cause it is so lame. LFD series probably will fall too even though it is the best rental only game ever. It is just to short to be worth buying.

^^

you need to add IMO to that because your opinions do not weigh anything. It seems to me though xbox games have been getting robbed of aaa status. A bunch of games are rated 89-88 and are so close to being in the ninty's. So I'd this game can do it, good for it.

Holding barely at 90% at Gamerankings.com. Anyways AU's review shouldn't count considering It's censored to hell. The first one was 89% btw, close enough to be an AAA console exclusive.



It's just that simple.
