Dude, are you on a crusade against this game? Hahaha, I mean seriously, Did it steal your girl or ruin your hair or something? I mean, we all know this is a low budget game. And of course, it has the usual set of quirks inherent to these "underground" games. Its what they manage to get right, with such limited resources, that often amazes the more open minded (usually older) gamers all over. Sniper Elite V2 is one of those games. Ill give you a tip, when you try the game again, dont approach it like one of the mainstream titles we`re used to. Dont try too hard to judge it, and allow it to show you what it does right. Who knows, perhaps you`ll be thanking me later for it.
its not that his opinion weighs more. The way I understand his comment is more along the lines of the game recieving a score that unjustly brings it down to a level that may scare off potential buyers. Its unfair becuase this game tries so many things (and actually succeeds) and approaches others with such creativity that it boggles the mind to see such a crappy score. Yet, we see Call of Duty doing the same thing over and over, perhaps every time with a bit more eye candy, and getting amazing scores. This helps the franchise solidify its pop culture status and increments the fan base, which translates into bigger and more effective marketing campaigns (not so much better games), and usually bigger market share. You might think this trivial, but small developers (especially) suffer at the store (Point of Purchase) due to limited marketing budgets, The biggest exposure their game gets is when a major site like this one reviews it. Believe or not, this review can very well kill the games projected income in America....and yes, to me this review is unfair an immature. If you compare it against other 6.0 games (within the genre) in this site, you`ll see the damage a bit more clearly. This game has given me thrills I havent felt since Hidden & Dangerous 2. I wholeheartedly thank Rebellion for that.
