    Wow, that was a poorly written review. There are several general statements without any supporting evidence for his opinions.

    "Unsurprisingly, PC players get a much-better-looking version of ruined Berlin, enjoying crisp details and lovely skies while Xbox 360 owners deal with softer, more muted visuals. "

    Really!? I would have never had guessed.

    He says: "You're an American sniper sent in to stop the Russians from scooping up Nazi scientists. Naturally, things don't go as planned and you have to improvise. The story plays out in nicely acted voice-overs and perfunctory cutscenes, providing a decent backdrop for your missions."

    Alright, so does this American sniper have a name? Emotions? Motivations? Does the game explain these things at all or is the story rather cardboard? Is it the lack of these things or other elements of a story that makes the story lackluster? What makes the story have "nicely acted voice overs and perfuncotry cutscenes..."

    This is just bad writing in general. I'm not dissing the score or his opinions. If Chris Watters feels it's a 6.0, fine. But, this is not good writing.

    Well that's bad... I enjoyed the demo a bit and hoped it would get at least a 8. Too many games to come out to get a 6.0 right now... I guess I'll get it during a Steam sale.

    I paid $30 for this game from GetGamesGo and I will say that it is worth it.

    I still haven't beat the game yet but I'm enjoying it a lot. I played about 4 hours of it yesterday (which says a lot because I can't play a majority of games for more than an hour because I get bored).


    Since I haven't beat the game and played the coop and multiplayer, I won't make a final judgement. But, from what I have played so far (btw: I'm playing on the hardest diffculty) I would give it an 8.0.


    I'm also playing the PC version btw. If that was ever a question.

    The review was terrible, he was praising it the entire review, then gives it a 6.0

    Considering this is from the guy who gave MW3 a 8.5.. and MW2 a 9.0...

    And Master Shake is nowhere to be found. Cannot face the e-shame, perhaps?

    All I know is that he set himself up to make himself look stupid. Why would anyone want to do that?

    Don't trust reviews.

    The only really negative thing he mentioned was shoddy A.I. in some places and yet all the games he gave high rating for had that same issue.

    GS gave Nier a 5.0 which is one of the best games of the gen. So 6.0 = 10!
