Eurogamer Review: Halo 4

Eurogamer: "It's a beautiful game, with none of the garish colours that spoiled the remake of Combat Evolved last year. Halo has never looked better."

He barely discusses major topics regarding the game, did he even play it? I mean, seriously, one single paragraph for competitive multiplayer? This review is a joke...

Dante1124187d ago

Wow, these reviews have really been mixed as far as complaints and praises go. Overall, the product seems to be good though. Can't wait to play it.

dark-hollow4187d ago

Most reviews sofar is very positive with scores ranges from 8 to 9.8.

YodaCracker4187d ago

On Metacritic, the game currently has more perfect scores than it has scores under 9, with the lowest score being an 8. Sounds pretty positive to me!

@greenpowerz

Dante didn't say the scores are mixed, just that the "complaints and praises" are mixed. In other words, some of the aspects that one reviewer really likes aren't as well received by another. For instance, I've seen a lot of varying opinions on the pace of the game.

But the scores are fantastic, so there's no need to be nervous.

insomnium24187d ago (Edited 4187d ago )

LOL! Greenpowerz is all defensive......again. Who would've guessed that....

Come on it's Halo. It will get 8-10 across the board (mostly 9s and 10s) Happened with all other main Halo game no matter what. What's interesting to me is the way the graphics will look and what the scoring will be on that. Halo 3 got a free pass pretty much.

No offense but how are you supposed to 100% accurately assess the online multiplayer for a game which isnt out yet?

grayfoxx8814187d ago

Right now the Press and 343 developers have access to the multiplayer. I read GameInformer's review, and they also had a video on their website of some of the guys playing multiplayer, presumably against some of the developers because they were getting their asses kicked pretty bad.

lastofgen4187d ago

Testing within the company??
On-line isn't the only way to test out the mp modes.

miyamoto4187d ago

Easy, mate...just ask Captain Jack Sparrow.

@Kingdom Come

Opinions are opinions, leave ur fanboyism aside...
I played the campaign and they are right halo 4 has a weak campaign not good at all. Still gonna buy it to check out the multiplayer.

I give the campaign a 6/10

Loki864187d ago

Not one person cares what your idea of a good game is, you've made clear through your comments that you are a diehard PS3 kid, emphasis on kid. Continue trolling every blog and continue you have a clue what you are talking about. Halo 4 is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, everything has been revamped changed, but still kept in the halo universe, isn't that what everyone wanted. Amazing job 343i.

@Gravelord - this review contains so many contrite nitpicks that it has no business being published anywhere.

GraveLord4187d ago

Eurogamer is the first real review.
All the other reviewers were obviously paid off.

IGN for example had absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about halo 4. The game is apparently perfect.

NastyLeftHook04187d ago

so its a joke cause you dont like the review? please...

Redgehammer4187d ago

I see Eurolamer is staying true to its love of the number 8

Ign(9.8) and Gamespot(9.0) has a much better and detail review than this. Nuff Said.

Ak47Russia4187d ago

And if IGN scored it an 8 and Eurogamer a 9.8 you would say otherwise.

Stupid fanboys.....

Played the campaign and they are right halo 4 has a weak campaign not good at all. Still gonna buy it to check out the multiplayer.

I give the campaign a 6/10

Calling me a stupid fanboy, yet your a fan of it yourself and you still gonna buy it. For all I know you probably bootleg the game to play the campaign troll!!! Freeloader!!! That's the only way you played that campaign cause Halo 4 is not release yet.

AlphaJunk4187d ago

you've played it already???? but you're gonna buy it. wow - you're lame and a troll.

Norrison4186d ago

You say you played it when all your comments praise your god sony and hate on xbox games lol.

kwyjibo4187d ago

Yes, IGN's effusive gushing praise is so much better than this review which touches on how 343 have been inspired by Infinity Ward, and how 343 compares with Bungie, and the motivations of the player.

I mean, who cares about that right? IGN lists all the weapons and baddies and vehicles right? PEW PEW!

A-Glorious-Dawn4187d ago (Edited 4187d ago )

Ah this reminds me of the Uncharted 3 8/10 review.

Oh the messages were all so similar.
Fanboys of all kinds really care about review scores.

I try to focus on what the review says, and learn then make judgements based upon that.

A number is a number..

Walker4187d ago

Oh simon parkin, i know you babe !

shaneTsung4187d ago

The importance of audio: How music makes games better

How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?

A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic59d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

PhillyDonJawn59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8959d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg59d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them

Why 343’s next Halo Xbox game needs to be a return to ODST

With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
