Yeah and imagine how much money you'd be throwing away if you played everything gamespot did tell you to play.

Since, I have not played the game, I thought I would throw a contradictory view in.

Contradictory to what?

Me enjoying playing the demo?



Because the only thoughts on actual reviews offered thus far was:

Originally posted by RJT I can almost guarantee an average print score of between 6.5 and 7.5, but I think fans of the series will rate it a bit higher.

Regardless, 12 hours to go here... w00t.

Yeah. I am not even sure there is a single site whose reviewers I trust much at all - if anything they at least give you a good idea of what people don't like about games, but in general they rarely echo my own feelings on certain titles.

I *might* trust Destructoid reviews more than others, but even then while I'd say I agree with the majority of them, I certainly don't all the time.

All I know is I love sites like Metacritic. Averages and trends seem a much better guide than long-winded reviews on most gaming sites.

Shame the game is getting average reviews, but seems that poor level designs and repetitive actions are plaguing this game. Im gonna give it a try tho, since I do enjoy the Star Wars story, but gonna give it as much high expectations as a Dynasty Warriors game lol.

Gameplay is as expected, cut scenes are awesome, and some of the environments are jaw dropping (the first mission with Vader is epic - I literally just looked around for quite a few minutes).

I like it a lot, but I like it a lot because it's a solid Star Wars game with a good Star Wars story.

I understand where the 6.5-7 reviews are coming from, but for me it's an 8 (that is, 3 hours in) thus far.

Too tired for any more tonight, will post more after I've gotten a bit more into it tomorrow.
