Dead Space, Gears 2, Far Cry 2, and so much more......my wallet might wanna try to sneak away tonight!

Hopefully this review did not have special rules, like making no mention of certain issues like frame rates and stuff. Also, there is no mention of the "Bonus Content" you are supposed to get for pre-ordering it at Gamestop.

Overall, I am glad to see that the game was not "Dumbed Down for console players" like Instincts was because I pre-ordered for my 360. That game was terrible (especially since I maintain a powerful PC to play games on and played Far Cry on it first).

This is definitely getting a nice spot into my library, but on the PC thank you!

And reading your review, why give it a 9? Your biggest gripe is that it's hard, but then you complain games are too dumbed down nowadays... You say the health recovery system is cumbersome, yet many complain about self-regenerating health at all... If this gets a 9 for being hard, then Mega Man 9 should get a 4 for being excruciatingly hard, no? :P

Just sayin', great review nonetheless and I'm getting this game no matter what.

I played the first one got frustrated and turned it off, im not excited about this game at all, im sorry to be the downer but i diddnt like the gameplay of the first one i thought it was very simple and slow, although the graphics do look epic unless they pull a 180 from the first one theres little chance this game ends up in my hands, FABLE 2!!!

does anyone know if you can remove limbs from your enemy's or is there just blood?

Two words...
LV BUILDER!
Surprised it wasn't even mentioned... wonder if it was considered when scoring the game.

I totally agree with statuslegendary. Anyway, looks awsome, cant wait.

Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Call of Duty World at war, Fallout 3. OMG THATS ONLY 240 dollars :O I guess ill only have to get 2 and wait for Christmas, uhhhhh.... Call of Duty and this. i can wait for the others...but i dont want to X]

they gave it a because they found 2 problems that a normal person wouldnt notice? they didnt even mention the multiplayer and the map editor

OMG!!!!!! im getting this today wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

loved the review,this game is clearly a smokers delight

I love it so far. The review is honest and true. I'm coming for you Jackle!

I agree with understudybass.So,apparently,Bioshock and GTA 4 are the 2 best games ever.Bullshit.Fable 2.That one name is enough.(Yay,acorns!xD)But I suppose Oblivion got a 10.But Gamesradar have gone mainstream.Yathzee Croshaw is the only man left in the world with the balls to say no.No to Societies.No to Mass Effect.No to GTA 4 even!Not outright noes all of them,but he's the only one who points out the flaws the community complains about.All critics care about is meaningless glitches no-one will ever notice.They find it impossible to believe that any game can go above incredible.But,like in GTA,it's the little things.If I'm able to chop off branches of trees to make haste in my escape from enemies or predatory animals (I think they've been confirmed in an update) and then use my hanglider to dive off a cliff before falling into the lush green canopy below.The monents of flying and seeing the sun shine on the jungle.The beautifully rendered sea lapping at the shore.Getting into the speedboat while seeing my foes make desperate last attempts driven by advanced AI.These things are what matter,not some technical bugs or slight,one-off,completely minor,SINGLE,flaw.

This game looks amazing.
I cant wait to buy this and get to it asap!

I actually like the Xbox live play alot better than the actual campaign (go ahead and flame me) because of the bad ass course creator... campaign's still great though. I think Fallout 3 is better though.
