seemed fair.. he didnt substract points for the current server issues since they are obviously temporary in nature..

I really want to play this game. I've never played a SOCOM game, but I've heard nothing but good things about them.

I couldn't really comment on the game, haven't played it yet. But I do agree that the game should have points subtracted for temporary server issues.

Sounds good. I see this game getting AA in the majority of reviews. Apart from these imbeciles who gave it 5/10:

I played it over the weekend and shockingly i had no problems with the servers really, i connected to the servers fine, and there really wasnt that much lag at all, nothing outside of the norm. But this seems to me just a bit too high, i would go with a solid 8.5 tbh or an 8.4

Meh. This game looks boring. R2 is probably the only game I'll play online this holiday.

Not surprising. They also said the 360 was the best console of all time.

Oh yeah, I remember them saying that. They had a list of the top 10 consoles of all time and the 360 was number 1. Good grief, even the majority of Lemmings didn't agree with that.

why would you base your permanent review score upon temporary server issues that are sure to be resolved in the coming weeks after launch?.. issues that wont even be relevant to consumers who didnt purchase the game within the first 3 weeks, yet will be reflected in your final review score for months and years to come... doesnt make much sense to me..

the developers are saying that they are consistently seeing almost 100,000 people log in everyday with peaks of 25,000 simultaneous users.. that's huge for a game that released a few days ago.. and obviously with that kind of immediate load, they are having server issues at launch.. based upon these issues and how they currently affect your experience, you may give the game a 5/10 score.. which is a terrible score.. but do you really think that this score is representative of the product that consumers will be playing once these obvious issues are resolved?.. no.. and that's why all factors should be taken into consideration when reviewing a game of this nature..

Personally I think that's a bit high, I would rate it anywhere between an 8 to an 8.5.

personally, i think it's a solid AA title.. and i forsee it providing an eventual AAA online experience with continued support and updates.. similar to Warhawk.. a solid AA at launch and thanks to consistant updates and support, it provides an even higher quality gameplay experience currently...

It's a 7.0-7.5-ish game. That's way too high.

i would think from 6.0 to 8.5 from GS. It just depends on how they look at it.

The gameplay altogether is broken, I shoulda warned lemmings & hermits before release, this game wasn't supposed to be a system seller. I wouldn't buy this game, maybe get the headset then sell the game. I just came from my cousins house & sure the communication in the game is great, but the gameplay isn't well designed. 0/10 If you want an online shooter, dl a free PC game like Warrock.
