Considering the internet circumvents this "review embargo". I'm having a hard time wondering how Rob Yescombe still receives a paycheck from FR. The absolute worst script and voice acting ever in a military video game. Maybe he should apply to KOEI.

Exactly what I was wondering. How does this Rob hack even have a job?

"Another sign the game is God awful. "

Bzzzztttt!!!

Ubisoft should have done this for all reviews and just let the gameplay footage and demo speak for themselves. They were naive in not recognizing the fanboy hate for the game being a PS3 exclusive that was canceled for the 360. Their marketing types, if they had been doing their jobs, should have long ago seen the giant red flags of the 360 fan rage against the game and desperate desire to see the game fail as revenge for Ubisoft snubbing their platform.

The fact that IGN gave this game a 4.5 proves again that no reviewing site is perfect. I truely believe that the reviewing process at big shot web sites like IGN and gamespot should be done by more than one person. Also, i think the final score must be approved by a manager or something. Game reviewing is not a joke anymore, this is not 2-4 years ago and IGN and the rest of the gang should act responsibly.

Yu guys can try to blame 360 fans for the bad reviews, but you can't tell me that this game isn't doo-doo after seeing that terrible actual in game footage. Craptastic! This game is bad, really bad. But hey, buy it and find out for yourself that you just wasted 60 bucks.
Sorry to you folks, but there is no real innovation here. This game is like FarCry leftovers.

Lucreto...or maybe people in the UK are more tolerant and more willing to play crappy games. Enjoy.

LJWooly - 582 days 17 hours ago

Lol BeaArthur... I can tell you, I'm from the UK, and I'm not sure there's any nation full of as many moaners as us... if anything, we're far pickier than you guys (both a good and bas thing, for both nations).

I don't think what Lucreto's saying is true either, though. I think the degree of "understanding" Haze would garner from the player is more dependant on the individual, rather than their nationality.

Well, not jumping the gun here. But I get the feeling, for the US market this goes a bit against the political correctness here (or maybe not). But using drugs and then switch sides to team up with the rebels ( = terrorists ?) - and they even speak spanish, quel misere! - is something which will have a hard time to be marketed in the US in these times around. And, well, in addition it isn't hyped (and not on the level) like say Resistance, MGS or KZ2. That doesn't help either. That said, I haven't seen any good European reviews, either (except the Italian PSN one).

IGN gave Godhand a 3.0. They arent always accurate. Besides, it's entirely based on one persons opinion.

PR0NE - 582 days 18 hours ago

what?! Godhand was a blast to play, the first i played it was in japanese and didn't understand what the heck is going on yet i had a wonderful time with it...
reviews are becoming more like pieces of opinions and fanboys rants

update: yeah you're right, they were the only tards to give it a 3 http://www.gamerankings.com... it was a very decent game, it deserved an 8

MediaStream - 582 days 18 hours ago

God Hand an 8? No...

God Hand is the pinnacle of fighting games last gen. Maybe it should have gotten 9.5s instead of 10/10s for the austere graphics.

Asking someone their opinion on God Hand is the quick and easiest way of separating the true fighting fans from the pretenders.

PR0NE - 582 days 18 hours ago

yeah maybe you're right, maybe it deserves a nine or a ten(depending on the ratings standards: 10 doesn't equal not perfect but equals must buy) , but my only problems with it were that i played it for the first time in japanese and some obvious texture tearing every now and then, but it was a blast to play nonetheless

MK_Red - 582 days 14 hours ago

Yeah and with IGN and their 4.8/10 being one of the 3 available ones...

It seems that they finally understood how dumb their move and have lifted the embargo.

Hard Work? you call that voice acting hard work? Haze has been pushed back several times and the result is this. I think free Rad is on Nectar and it caused them to slack off.

MK_Red - 582 days 18 hours ago

And the funny thing is that one of the most important reviews is already out. IGN's. And that's a 4.5/10.

This has got to be the dumbest tactial move by any publishers. Seriously, when a negative and international 4/10 from a respected site like IGN is out, whats the point of this move?

How will this effect the ps3? If its a crap game its a crap game, every console has them, and dont forget ign are fanboys which noone should trust. Before making up your minds on this game wait until 23rd when you can see some more reviews.

Sad, sad xbabies. They have to go that low as to use a bad game as a way to bash the PS3. 'Oh noes, the PS3 has one bad shooter so now it must be a really baaaaaaad console! All of our shootas are perfect!~111'

How sad indeed.
