Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony explains the lack of MAG reviews.


MAG box art.

MAG is one of the biggest exclusive games on the Playstation 3 in 2010. Despite the released date quickly approaching, the ambitious first-person shooter hasn’t been reviewed by the media yet. Jeff Rubenstein, the Social Media Manager of SCEA, explain why this is the case in the comments section of the Playstation.Blog:

Reviews can’t be written until the game is actually out. I mean, you can’t pass pre-release judgment on a game whose major, industry-leading feature (256 players in a single battle) can’t be tested until release day.

MAG will be released in North America on January 26th.

I concur. It was hard finding people on a 32 vs. 32 battle



That actually makes tons of sense. Why don't other games do this? How do you review any FPS when 90% of the experience is online.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Epicness has been seen...

then again, it was made by sony so no one can really cry wolf...



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

the review will probably end up like this though:


77 IGN

What can be a really exciting team game experience is marred by having to play with uncooperative idiots, monotonous landscapes, long wait times to get into the action, and some serious lack of definitive purpose.
