the poster on neogaf was just some random member...like we always say"pics or it didnt happen" I will torch EGM if they give LAIR a 6 for graphics!! I'll send you digital copy of EGM. Save it to your flash drive and then torch it ;D. But seriously, last week Play mag review gave it a 9/10 and lot of guys questioned its credibility. I wonder where EGM stands now. PLAY also gave sonic 360 9.5 which automatically makes them less reliable than egm

the poster on neogaf was just some random member...like we always say"pics or it didnt happen" I will torch EGM if they give LAIR a 6 for graphics!! you're still doubting it lol Lair score doesn't surprise me that much i've played quite a few factor 5 games and usually they are more of a graphical showcase rather than doing anything special gameplay wise heck even rogue squadron 2 for the gc looks good to this day which is another factor 5 game yep this is exactly where the review fails,anyone who has seen the pics,video or even read previews know that the game's graphics are atleast more than 6,unless the game runs at 10 fps ,there is no way the game can get 6 atleast for the graphics. gameplay is still up in the air,i personally think going motion sensing only was a mistake ,i think the analog control shd have been an option even if motion was the default,maybe they'll add it as a patch.

gameplay is still up in the air,i personally think going motion sensing only was a mistake ,i think the analog control shd have been an option even if motion was the default,maybe they'll add it as a patch. Most of the context sensitive stuff involves jerking the controller in the direction of prompt on screen. If you disable motion sensing, you might have to reload all the level again to change the screen prompt to button presses and that's nuisance. But yes, there should've been an option to disable MC just for flying.

^^ This has become an everyday occurence now. In general a magazine gets flamed for being biased when a hyped game is given a poor score.
But I think there is a lesson in it for all of us. We need to learn to judge games ourselves rather then wait for some Reviewer to support our stance on a certain game. That and perhaps a generous dose of gamerankings.com should help anyone. Go by most previews and Gamerankings myself.
One simple example. Proven games like FF I and FF II on PSP has got 6.5 and 6.1 respectively. Don't we know that they are great games? We do. Don't we understand that they are remakes to give a chance to new gamers to get a feel of the games of the yesteryears. We do. Yet we find, time and time again that these games are given very low scores.
That aside, I think it's high we stop relying entirely on someone else's "review" to get a game. Nowadays a review has just become a way to one up other people who don't like that game.
