No thanks. And it has nothing to do with the 'questionable' level. It's just another arcade shooter.

pfunk

I dont understand how it can score 10s though, so its the perfect videogame?


I read the gamesradar review, and he lists about 5 or 6 problems with the game, yet they still give it a 10?

Ill probably still get it in the future, but unfortunately Im not 15 anymore so the MP aspect would be an exercise in frustration


dude

I do expect it to be a great game, but agree... I don't think I have found the perfect 10 game yet... I do wonder if hype more then content is giving those scores... whatever, I can't wait.

All review sites state that a 10 is not "perfect" since that's impossible, 10 is just reserved for what they consider the best of the best or must buy or whatever.

I have no doubt the game will be incredibly well polished. COD games always "move" well and have nice punchy gunfire and pretty exciting Die Hard action. However, the game relies too much on being pretty and doesn't bring much to the table in the form of gameplay. MP is still based mainly on TDM, one of the oldest and most worn out game modes there is. S&D is good, but then they handicap it with small maps and short game time. Quantum of Solace was based on the COD engine and very smooth--and the MP actually brought in some new and interesting game types. Arcade for sure, but I have no idea why that game didn't do better. They pull COD off well, but the game is still pretty basic--which is why it's so well done--there isn't much new about it. Basically a rehash of the last 2 games. I have no doubt it will be well done for what it is though and I do look forward to most of the SP game. MP...not likely.

LOL the haters are out in force at metacritic, user rating of 5.9. Metacritic should just drop user ratings all together. When any big release comes out the haters swarm there to give the game low ratings, even more so if that game is a console exclusive.

Sometimes its just OK NOT to hit reply. even for admins... this is a thread about review links and scores, not one liner, I hate it threads.
