@Shtinky You need to play more games and talk less b$ - :D - this game is ace so go and trollaway under the bridge until the next new release is reviewed - u lame a$$
Why get a RPG nut to review an arcade action game or beat-em up release?
Mr Van Ord enjoyed this game because of its RPG content - anyone buying this game and not expecting a decent RPG needs an education in gameplaying.
I got Dragons Dogma and its a great game - the review is fine if a little spoiler orientated - but I forgive Mr Van Ord's enthusiasm - he is pasionate for this genre - and I prefer this to the usual mix of non-plused reviews.
See, Mr Van Ord has reviewed action games in the past and his seemingly lack of love / appreciation for the genre has also surely affected the overall scoring in those reviews - imo the choice of reviewer in respect of genre is crucial to the gamesplaying public..
With a dedicated game site like GS, the leading editor should be the one deciding who is right for reviewing titles ie. specialists in said genre.
What i'm saying is considering the reviewer's gaming preferences should be a given.
