After reading the Gamespot review of Vanquish, it looks like Platinum Games (those behind MadWorld, Bayonetta etc) have another hit on their hands. WILL YOU BUY IT?! |

Jim Sterling gave it 5 out of 10. Said all the good stuff was in the demo, and nothing else happens in the game. Also Punching and Boost bar are the same thing, so you cant punch someone then rocket skate away... Yeah it sounds like a miss for me. |

Uh huh. To be honest, I'm keen to give it a go. Looks fun, and you can't really go wrong with Mikami. |

Jimbo be trolling - check the other reviews: Game Reviews Summary Game Trailers: 9/10 http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-vanquish/706375 Game Spot: 9/10 http://au.gamespot.com/ps3/action/vanquish/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review IGN: 8.5/10 http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/112/1128417p1.html CVG: 7/10 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=270478 Eruo Gamer: 9/10 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-18-vanquish-review Joystick: 4.5/5 http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/19/vanquish-review/ Destructoid 5/10 http://www.destructoid.com/review-vanquish Metro UK 8/10 http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/844332-games-review-vanquish-conquers-all Demo's are pretty good - TPS ain't really my thang but looks great and is quite fun to play. Gameplay's apparently a bit on the short side but grab it cheap from the UK or wait for a price drop and reckon you'd definately get your money's worth Edited by luniac, Oct 21 2010, 03:54 PM.

It's hard to take Jim Sterling's word for anything because he has no baseline. He rates some games super highly and defiles others. Much like an eccentric man on a polygraph or the boy who cried wolf, you can't really tell when he's trolling or when he's being serious. Still, the man writes some entertaining stuff and is probably not meant to be taken seriously, like the Zero Punctuation reviews. And yes, Rags. If I had the money at my disposal I'd be playing it right now. The demo and Mikami's involvement has me coloured interested. Edited by Kart, Oct 21 2010, 05:25 PM.

Yeah, because all the those outlets were giving Modern Warfare 2 9's and 10's when it an utterly piss poor example of a Game. Sorry for not blindly gobbling down the jizz of them all like you do. Because you know, Gamespot is the bastion of reliable reviews and not taking cash for good scores. Edited by CloneTrooper, Oct 21 2010, 10:39 PM.

... but you are listening to Jim Sterling? Why? He was the only person to give it a bad review and he is an awful critic. You're just becoming more of an old man, CT. Ya old man. And I think MW2 is a bit different seeing as it was heavily hyped and Vanquish is from a n excellent developer. Get dat sand outta ur vagina. |

Its not about the game, its about the fact that these reviewers these days will give anything high scores. I've disagreed with scores he's given before. Like Alpha Protocol. Get their cocks outta ya mouth rags. |

Well here's 2 early impressions from some people on WP who actually are playing the game as it's supposed to be played - not rushing through on Easy so they can slam out some half-assed review ![]()
