Might as well give it an 8; they'll react the same way.

But if Skyward Sword gets less than a 9, I'm taking a trip to Croydon. And I wont be bringing biscuits.

Oh yea, can you give Uncharted 3 a 3? Make the Sony fanboys heads explode.

My play-through of the game took me just shy of eight hours, a fact that I referenced in my review with the sentence -- "The eight hour-odd campaign is fantastically well paced." Anybody completing the game in five hours will have (probably) played on easy, and not taken their time to 'collect' all the Skillshots.

There is indeed 'real' multiplayer too, it exists, and I've played it. It's just not the tried and tested deathmatch style of play you are perhaps accustomed to. It is, however, fantastic.

Mussttt... Proteccchtttt.. SooOnyY..

No, I jest.
What I will say is:
A remote controlled cyborg-dinosaur that shoots lasers from his eyes? SOLD! Why hasn't someone got a real one of these?

Great review there Jamin! Certainly going to be at leas playing this over the coming months! No idea when though! It's on my mental list along with games like Dead Space and Arkham asylum!

Aaaah, the good old Sony Defence Force. Give it a rest, eh, droids? Nobody here cares for your whining.

I wasn't sold on the demo, but I have to admit that this has pricked my ears up somewhat. In particular, the multiplayer aspect pleases me a lot, and is probably the reason I'll end up buying this game. Also, I am a fan of any review that pisses the droids off, so all in all - Good work, Jamin!

The review of Killzone 3 was of the single player only not the online. What has been said many a time is that, Neon will review the multiplayer of Killzone 3 when the public servers are out and then adjust the score then.

a 9??? LMFAO LOL... WAIT WAIT.... LOL! So Killzone get's a 7... this gets a 9 with a 5hr campaign... no real multiplayer, tongue and cheek story, and pinball machine type shooting of enemies? Also you scored Killzone 2 a 9 and Killzone 3 a 7? LOL wow

What a joke, a game witha 5 hour campaign and virtually no multiplayer getting this score? Killzone blows this away yet it gets a similar score? LMAO, game reviews = trash, EPIC must like bribery.

Good review, I thought the demo was pretty funny so I'll be picking up the game. That said, the ending reminds me a lot of a piece I read over on FPS Tribe recently...
