Edge have always been a tough crowd, it’s part of what makes their reviews an enjoyable read. Got this on pre-order, really enjoyed the demo (dirtly little tease that it was) and can’t wait to get my mitts on the real thing.

Well if in doubt rent it first, seriously you shouldnt listen to what other people say so much. 7 hours to me seems very short, but then people said Darkness was short and I found if you took your time and enjoyed it it lasted plenty long enough. Expect these reviewers were 360 fanboys…

Same difference and pedantic I know, but Edge gave it a 6/10 - not 60%.

The review actually reads like a 7 or 8 game, Edge just don’t like it when production values move on, but gameplay doesn’t.

Well..not looking at the scores, and based purely on what the reviews wrote, the only complaint is that it’s too short. All other problems cited by reviews are countered by other reviews for example IGN though pacing sucked but Games Radar thought pacing was one of its best feature and best in action games. IGN hated the arrow guiding sequences, Games Radar found it wonderfully refreshing.

@13

How can anyone be impressed by the demo?

Button mashing… Too short… Linear repetitive game play…. etc etc

I think to sum up edges review

Looks good but is ultimately shallow and short game.

EDGE doesn’t do percentage scores, so you must mean 6/10 (which in EDGE-speak means slightly better than average, but not much. They are harsh reviewers… even GTA3 only got 8/10).

well play lose my respect lol,
for something to have 100% it is perfect!
so they’re telling me this game has absolutley no flaws? lack of a jump button is one surely
will still be buying as the story looks very good, as well as the scenery!
