2) That's a rumor, and analysts have repeatedly said, there is no way in hell Microsoft and Sony would do that, if Nintendo wasn't going to do it as well, for obvious reasons that they'd get destroyed in competition.
3) Since 1 isn't going to happen, neither will 3. I mean, there will be online support, but its going to be shoddy. Why would they waste alot of money on this if the strongest games on the console are Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Yoshi etc? Nintendo's hits are single player, and local multi, the consoles are built around this.
4) Yup, that's going to happen. That's what Nintendo is, they are a game developer/publisher/console maker. They are best at making games because they own the system, and publish them- they have a distinct advantage in developing the highest quality games for their own system.
Otherwise that would be like saying "I don't know about other people, but I played Gears of War and FIFA 2011, and I will continue to support (insert developer of only one of either of those games here).
Yup, Gamespot scores are highly inflated anyway. The complaints about the 7.5 wouldn't be here if they didn't constantly hand out 8's and 9's everywhere.
It is still an awful review though. The hour-length of the campaign isn't mentioned, split-screen functionality isn't explained (which is important, because while the game says it is there, it is only for Guerilla mode, not campaign.) It also doesn't mention the who idea of the U-play pass being required for the online mode.
If reviews are made to help people be informed buyers, this is not a good review. That's probably why you get many people looking at reviews to revalidate their opinion on a game they already have- rather than getting info before buying
You usually have a choice between stealth and loud shooting battles. Though some segments force you to be stealthy, or force you to go loud and assault. Either way, you rarely can just sneak past enemies in the game, loud or quietly you have to kill them.
The entire campaign isn't worth replaying, but some levels are. You unlock strong weapons once you finish levels in the campaign, so you can use them to go back and finish extra objectives in earlier levels or try a harder difficulty.
The difficulty of the game is just about normal, but you are given challenges that encourage you to complete objectives the hard way. The more you like playing stealthily, the longer the campaign lasts because most challenges focus on beating levels without being noticed.
