FOIST!

7/10 - disappointing, yet maybe a tad expected.

I thought about getting in first, then I realised IT'S A VERY SAD PRACTICE AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

ouch! not as good as little big planet, resistance 2, metal gear solid or even siren! Rare better pray the avatars take off or M$ may be looking to 're organise' a few internal studios next year.

epic fail from rare/microsoft

I was going to say "win the respect of my peers"... but I can lay that to rest now. ;)

So... as good as Dead Space, then? :P

Gutted! Guess I'll have to play the original when it comes out on arcade instead.

Good score for a unique game,

However Rare seem to shoot themselves in the foot, sales is the name of the game and if they had stuck to plat forming they could have sold millions as 360 owners are crying our for a genuine platformer and with their graphics engine it would have been phenomenal.

It could potentially have got 10/10s all round

I'll believe a PS3 exclusive is two points better than a 360 exclusive the day a black man becomes president of the USA.

7/10 is "bad" in a fucking ocean of 9/-10/10s. Perspective, good sir.

I had my fears this would not score higher.

Hmmm. I was playing the demo the other night, and all I could think was: "Why couldn't they do a proper platform game instead?"

Also, from the car-building tutorial at the beginning.... cripes, I can't imagine anyone over 18 caring enough to read through all those explanations.

Hmm. Damn shame. There is simply too much good stuff to play to warrant a purchase of this. I was never convinced by its new direction either, so this score is doubly damning for me. Heh ho.

7/10.

Not shit, but not something I'd rush to buy.

Saying that Ive never been that much of a 'Rare gamer' . I had however assumed this would have been =>8/10.

consider it CANCELLED.

I'll spend my money on BK and BT when they come out on XBLA. I'm gutted they've stripped out all the platforming goodness. It would've been fine if they hadn't used iconic platform game characters. so so so wrong.

'Get yourself a PS3 people. '

'So much for variety of quality games on Xbox 360. '

I am glad as if this was another 9 my family would probably be going without presents this xmas, so many must haves my wallet can't take it. I will pick this up cheap next year or in the bargain bin.

I'll get this at some point, it tickled me in the demo.

As for all you PS3/Rare/MS/whatever the fuck you've decided to be your deterimistic factor of the day-haters/lovers, shut the hell up.

It's like there's Laws of Videogaming. That contradict themselves depending on the fanboy. Oh woe.

This review + finding the demo really dull = cancelled pre-order. I'll be missing out on the original for free but I wasn't a big fan of it on the N64 anyway.

Which now means I've freed up a bit of money for Mirror's Edge if the reviews are positive. I loved the demo.

Not surprised lovely to look at but a chore to play, why isn't this a platform game with Diddy Kong Racing elements, rather than a mechanno style collect em up.
