*The title should be GamesMaster

GamesMaster has settled on an 81% review score for Final Fantasy XIII, calling the game 'a classic example of style over substance'. Ouch.

But it's not all bad. GM praises the title's 'stunning vistas' - calling it the 'sumptuous eyeball feast you'd expect from Square Enix'.

'[It's] wondrous, yes, but a tad soulless,' GM reports. 'The vast majority of locales seem sadly impersonal and static.'

It concludes: 'There's not enough raw game packed into the 35-40 hours it takes to complete the narrative.

'And that leaves us with a distressing situation - a Final Fantasy game scoring less than 90%. Dear friends, we're as shocked as you.'

What do you reckon, readers - are you still interested?

The majority will probably be around 8.0 scores. There's already 2 85's on metacritic and one 90

So, for them Heavy Rain is better than Final Fantasy XIII. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=99386&page=1#

I will preorder Heavy Rain!

ouch.

I guess this'll end up in high 80s.

First non AAA Final Fantasy?

Non AAA Final Fantasy confirmed.

Still loved the game, It definitely has its faults though.

What about Final Fantasy XI?

...Runs and hides before the FF XI fans come

Who cares if FFXIII is not a AAA game, I'm sure millions of people will love it :D
