Eurogamer Brutal Legend review- 8/10

Hm, having seen the whole game being played, I have to say I think anything under a 9 is off the mark for this one. Regardless, good score.-

As expected, but this game still looks to be very good, I will definitely pick this up after I am done with Uncharted 2.

Anything 8-10 is buy worthy. I see no issue with the score. Just a different opinion, but still a good one.

Brutal Legend scored higher than inFAMOUS (7/10) and the same as MGS4 (8/10) on Eurogamer. Uncharted 2 beat all, though.

Good for it, I wasn't bashing it at all.

I was just saying that the reviews won't reflect the actual game.

You kids/people care too much for review scores. Back in my day, we loved the developers, we bought the game. With new IP, we took a chance, hence System Shock and Half Life. Forget these lousy review scores and enjoy some video games..mismajor99

Even though BL has been getting great reviews, I agree. Reviews are a joke. I buy whatever I want and usually enjoy AA's more than AAA's. Not always, but usually. I mean, look at Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Psychonauts, etc. Some of my favorite game's ever made. Classics. Unique and imaginative. All AA titles.

Looks like we should change the name to Brutal FLOP.

You gave KH a 9.5, which is an 8.0 game. So you like 8.0's and think they're AAA worthy titles. When will you be picking up this Brutal Legend, my dear friend? :)

Does Eurogamer uses the "full scale" system like EDGE, or does it uses the "5-10" scale used by American gaming publications?

Everyone seems to be praising the writing, something that's overlooked in games ;P

Full scale. 5 is average and 8 is a must buy.

Can't wait to play it when I get home. :)

8/10 from Eurogamer is a great score .. in a way it's a shame that there are some little problems that stop it being a 9/10

But hopefully the lower quality sites and mags that give 8/10 for a game because it has a pretty box will give this lots of 9/10 scores and metacritic scores will stay high.

I hope this still sells well .. it should also come with a free F&*£ you Activision badge with every copy

Anything 8-10 is buy worthy. I see no issue with the score. Just a different opinion, but still a good one.

Why are people posting scores for this game like it's a exclusive, like it's going to disprove on fanboy side. It's a Multiplat...

I am sorry, I was unaware that a game had to be exclusive in order to post reviews for it. It is a highly anticipated game, regardless if it is multiplat or not, my friend. I was merely posting the review for those who are interested in the game, nothing more.

Unfortunately this is going to have to wait. I just dont have time for this right now. Sorry Tim Schafer, I promise Ill buy it eventually.

Good enough. Can't wait to pick this one up.

I gotta raise the big ol' BS flag on that one, no offense. An 8.0 on Gamespot is "great" and an 8.0 on IGN is "impressive".

Anything 8.0-10 is buy worthy.

[QUOTE="MrEnvelope"][QUOTE="Verge_6"] Hell, I usually enjoy AA games more than AAAA games. In fact, the best games I have ever played are A-AA titles.

The Production values, graphics, story, controls, and soundtrack were all great but the game was missing something. The game lacked the fun that other sandbox games (like Saints Row2 and other GTA games) had :P.

EDIT: I play games for fun not to simulate reality.... I prefer something fun like Arcade racers to those Racing Sims that get high scores.
