Tom Mc Shea got it right... again :P (GS got it right)

Wow its not often that I agree with GameSpot but I must admit in my opinion they got it right with Dante's Inferno and God of War 3

I thought that GS had heavily underrated Dante's Inferno giving it a score of 6.5, because I really did enjoy this game and thought it was a great piece of work, but GOW 3 out shines DI in absolutely every way possible. The Story, Combat, Graphics, Scale and difficulty levels are vastly superior to anything I expected.

I have not played GOW 2 in about 2 years so maybe I forgot how good the game really was and DI gave me a feeling of nostalger more then anything else. its a shame tbh because if DI had of been released at the start of the gen it may have been AAA.

Has anyone else that originally thought GameSpot underrated DI now changed their mind after playing GOW3?

While I agree with what you are saying.. I agree with some of there reviews but then the other 80% of the tiem I dont agree with them.

For example Metro is not a 7.5 and a 8/10, its a 9/10 for me personally.
Awakenings expansion pack for Dragon Age is also to low of score imo.

Perfect Dark remake on 360 is WAY WAY to low aswell.

Once in awhile Ill agree with gamespot but most the times I dont.

In the end they are opinions of ONE PERSON, so thats why I dont give much thought to review scores.

I have'nt tried DI, but I was stupid enough to buy Darksiders. And compared to that, GOW3 is a whole generation ahead.

Yeah I was not expecting metro to get a 7.5, I have not played it because I not got a 360 anymore, but that game did look great.

A another game that I thought should have been AAA especially at the time it came out was Heavenly Sword, It defiantly filled a gap in the PS3 library.

I'm thinking that God of War 3 and Heavy Rain should have switched scores.KHAndAnime

This dude is right.

God Of War just hasn't done enough new to get AAA imo.

Whilst I agree with the GOW3 score, Heavy Rain was defiantly a AAA game.

GoW 3 deserved a 9.5 imo. Its almost at the level of perfection. Dante's Inferno deserves a 9 as long as you put it down 1/3 of the way through, after that it slowly drops down to deserve like a 6.hexashadow13

no it wasn't. The gameplay in that is so pointless. The whole game is just pressing random buttons at different times to get to the next cutscene.

If that's all you think Heavy Rain amounts you have truly missed out on a awesome experience.

I am sure the story is great and all but it 's just an interactive movie.

Well i tried the demo and aside from the weird voice acting, the movement control it did have was very cluncky.

I never played the Demo mate, but I can say I never had the same grips as you with regards to the final release. But as KH said it is really engaging, not everyone will love it but it's hard not to appreciate what the developers tried to achieve.

I played the Dantes Inferno demo, and my hype dropped straight away. I didn't doubt GS on this one.SaltyMeatballs

I agree, Its amazing how many game sales developers are losing because of a demo.
