Pow! Ouch! 2 points just for the trash golem, huh?
And they release this at the same time as Fable, Fallout, LBP and the rest of the 9+ joy currently screaming for my credit card's lovin? Bye! |

Damn, thought that review was written by Ellie for a moment and on that note why wasn't it? I thought it was written in her contract that she got the bad games.

Eurogamer showing their Xbox bias again ;-)
After the total glut of good games over the last couple of months, plus what is coming up, it's about time we had some low scores. |

Wow, sounds awful. Which staffer wrote the preview which said that it was almost ready, and was feeling like a 7 or 8 for its fast paced, back to basics FPS fun? Clearly wasn't Dan.
Edit: Turns out it was Rob (Shinji), who wrote the following in the comments thread: "It's probably not a 9 or 10 out of ten kind of game, unless multiplayer is really stunning, but from what I played (about two and a half hours of the game), it's one of those 7 or 8 out of ten games that you develop a real fondness for while acknowledging that it's not doing anything particularly special."

You have to admit that some of the screens do look nice though. At least it's not another horde of generic aliens that you have to shoot.

I bought Quantum of Solace special edition yesterday because of the fantastic metalbox. Hoping for a review today to decide if im going to start playing it or not.

Although I feel for the developers and hope they go on to have successful careers elsewhere, I really really hope Spark Unlimited disband as they do not deserve to produce games.
I thought nothing could be worse than Turning Point. Trust them to prove me wrong! xD |

Dan, Dan, Dan, you really sound like an incredibly hard man to please. I've played Legendary through to all but the end and i loved it. Of course i saw the same glitches you mention, but i had fun. More fun than i had with Fallout3 tbh.
This review stinks of someone deliberately setting out with a bad impression in mind. |

Two sounds a bit harsh.
I notice your slating things that EVERY fps since the dawn of time had... Sure repetition is bad etc, I thought Fallout 3 had levels in the sewers and "train lines"? I've no intention of picking this up what so ever though. |

After the spore review, reviews on Eurogamer mean nothing to me. However, given Sparks track record, this will be crap

Two paragraphs of that review would work well in the Far Cry 2 review.

actually this is the best time to release a bad game, it's like when the government releases scandals and bad news when they know no one's paying any attention, this is the same slip it past the reviewers and we'll get sales based on hype!

Shinji, the guy writing the preview, said:
"I wouldn't say I've got an excessively sunny disposition over this one (I hauled myself across rush-hour London with a grotty head-cold to see it - sunny I was not! :) ), rather that I don't see the problem with simply taking traditional FPS play and doing it really well. It's probably not a 9 or 10 out of ten kind of game, unless multiplayer is really stunning, but from what I played (about two and a half hours of the game), it's one of those 7 or 8 out of ten games that you develop a real fondness for while acknowledging that it's not doing anything particularly special." http://www.eurogamer.net/article_discuss... Like, wtf? |

Yes Nick you were absolutely correct (I suspected you might be...). Shame, could have been fun.
EG you cruel people, inviting this game to the expo then slating it just a couple of days afterwards! |

You ppl should be ashamed to bring Fallout into this thread. And deserve a public immolation the ones who are comparing the two.
Fallout 3 is Fallout only by name, lets not get that confused, and they are far more similar than one would realise. I'm still going to pick it up (F3), as it looks fun (in a very different way) but as soon as I'm past the title, it's a whole new franchise. |

I really like the idea behind the game, but they just can't make good games!

"Glowing green items to help the player....Fable 2 does similar things. That got a 10. Probably is a bad game, but review did smell of someone who wanted to late the game regardless."
Ah but in F2 it's a gameplay mechanic (did you actually read WHY the reviewer thought that it was a bad thing in this game?). In fable 2 you can soak up the experience orbs but you are defenceless against enemies when you do so. If you don't on the other hand, it might fade away. |
