Gamespot: You Read Why We Gave Ratchet and Clank A 7.5, Now Watch The Review

Here is Gamespot's video review of how Insomniac's next great addition to the Ratchet and Clank series, received a lowly score of 7.5 from Gamespot.

[Antan]

Hehe, how nervous does the reviewer look?

[techie]

Greedy theiving Gamespot...hits is all they want. Nothing he says sounds like it's a bad thing...I expect he used to dribbling a basketball accross a court in a game, or shooting a rifle again and again. This is kids game that appeals to adults because of it's varied gameplay...and having so many different mechanics and minigames is what gives it it's charm.

IF RAC Tools didn't have all these different mechanics and minigames, I guarentee that Gamespot would have given it 9.5...but every other site would have given the game 7.5 - They have everything the wrong way round.

[icdedppl]

i know right!

and gamespot, leave the video reviews to gametrailers and ign. they know NOT to put ugly people in front of the camera and let the game footage do the talking.

[Kleptic]

exactly...he comments on the game, and shares the exact same "issues" with other reviewers...the difference is that this guy slaps a 7.5 on it, where others feel the 2 hits the framerate takes during the game...enough to keep it just under perfect...

and whats with the "identity crisis"...what does that even mean?...that it doesn't look like a Ratchet and Clank game...

can't wait for the review of Uncharted...hopefully this guy gets to do it..."it simply looks and plays way too well...I like toilets...so I give it a 5.0"

[TheReaperOfHearts]

looks like he has some issues mommy didnt give him a hug or milk maybe ^^ haha XD

[neogeo]

.

[Proxy]

I was thinking the same thing. "This looks like a IGN video review."

The only difference being that IGN would close by saying "Although, not perfect, it's preaty close, and earns R&C a 9.4 out of 10."

GameSpot ends with "Although not perfect, it's a preaty good game, and on a consol that's in desperate need of good game."

That's the difference.

[unlimited]

This dude is fat ugly and bald..he gave a lot of compliment to the games but give it 7.5...lol..gamespot is losing all its subscribers they need more smarter professional people reviewing games..

[SinnerMark]

What a total BS. If it was too easy adjust the difficulty; if the story's ending was such a cliffhanger why did Halo2 got such a high score, you'd think if it affected R&C's score to such a low score, does Halo2 as God Of war2 deserve an 8 or hell a 7.5. And the graphics wasn't about the lighting, the graphics is good as most Ps3 games because of the coloring,textures,and design;lightng has very little to do with it unlike most 360 graphics; Bioshock a 9,eventhough its graphics on the characters was crappy. And if twelve hours of gameplay was short, I finished bioshock and other great games in about the same time. Again the game is great and doesnt deserve a 7.5. Gamespot just want attention, they did it with Nintendo fans by giving Zelda TP an 8.5 when everyone else thougth it was perfect.

[marcdz1]

Why would anyone let this fat s.o.b. rate anything is beyond me. But it seems like he scored it lower only because his damn brain was processing as slow as the 360 and obviously could not keep up with cell processing. LOL anyways why would you rate the game so low because there's too many fun minigames in it. WTF who ever heard of that CRAP!!! EVERYONE TOO FUN IS BAD IN A GAME>.

[SlappyMcTaint]

Fvck fat people!! Seriously. All they do is b!tch about stuff. This guy, after probably running out of donuts, actually complains about having too much to do in a game! Well fvck you, fatty. Go eat with Gabe Newell, and be happy fat fvcks together, instead of b!tching about PS3 stuff.

If this were the first xbox version of the game, they'd all be ejaculating all over it. I'll bet $100,000.00 on that!! Haters!!

[popup]

After his last Album scored a below average 7.5, Kyle quit the band and decided to go all out to destroy the very foundation that ruined him - journalism.

[Makroyale]

Email the editorial team...

http://www.gamespot.com/mis...

I emailed Jeff...

[aliveinboston]

Poor fool must have lost the rock paper scissors to become the scapegoat for the idiotic review. This kind of thing happens now and again.

Gamespot gave GT4 getting an 8 for gameplay while Forza got a 10 because apparently cheap unrealistic damage (even a Forza dev admitted that GT4 could easily have had it), painting and stickers is more important to a Sim than accurate track and car modeling and physics. Granted Forza had slightly better AI (I say slightly better because if you stop in the middle of the road the opponents would often simply run into you) but a sim is about accurate physics, cars and tracks. Forza's physics were so unrealistic that they made their version of Nurburgring (the most important track) 30% longer than in real life to compensate and keep track times from being way too short! GT4's Nurburgring was a nearly perfect recreation of the real track!

Anyway, the real question that not just gamespot, but most reviewers need to answer is this:

Give the consumers 3 reasons why Halo3 deserves as good a review score or better than R&C:TOD.

That 7.5 thing is just hilarious.

[Killfooler]

I sent Jeff this email:

Jeff,

I’m sure you’re being inundated with emails filled with outrage over what looks like an irresponsible review of one of the more worthwhile games this season, namely Ratchet and Clank. While a high percentage of people disagree with what looks like an apparent ill-willed review toward this Playstation 3 title, it wouldn’t be half as bad if the final score were even remotely parallel to the praises you give the game. In both the video and written review, you note that almost every aspect of the game is fun and complain that there is too much to be experienced (as though a plethora of fun game mechanics is a bad thing). Making assertions like, “Ratchet doesn’t know what kind of game it’s trying to be” makes little sense in an industry that rallies against inside-the-box thinking. Why do you feel the game has to “be defined” outside of itself? While I realize that controversy gains interest and traffic, what it won’t do is bring in new subscribers. It affect the credibility of a site that I have traversed for over 10 years. I’ve been right with Gamespot through years of controversy and criticism, but this time it really *IS* hard to defend such an off-the-wall score for a game that is praised unanimously by industry and praised in your own review. You truly leave no other option than for gamers to suspect that you are indeed a biased site and the respect that you’ve garnished throughout the years is deteriorating quickly. I am a gamer, pure and simple… and for those that you respect (customers especially), explaining a 7.5 would be nice given that it doesn’t represent any of the “pros” or “cons” that you listed in your review. Gamers want consistency more than anything else, so please…. With cherries on top, help your customers make sense of what appears to be blatant fanboyism by on of the most respected gaming journalists on the planet.

[Bubble Buddy]

"too easy"? so i guess deadlocked was so hard right guys? all i had to do there was strafe and shoot =P. but good game though. yet gamespot rates deadlocked higher than ToD. smart.

P.S his buck teeth and his stare is creepy

[gamesR4fun]

Sorry man but who cares what this guy says like the story being so bad well news flash its r/c we dont expect a lot of dept has for the cliffhanger ending lets say its pretty much tradmark on the series. So whats left too easy wtf try to beat the game using only your wrench....
Then try it again on hard mode if you make it the first time then tell me the games too easy.
Nothing he said justifies his biased review Gamespot needs to clean the xbots at least off the ps3 reviews.

[marinelife9]

Great email to Jeff. Mine was a little less elegant.

[xhi4]

Okay, usually I don't get angry over reviews, but 7.5 when this game got 3 perfect scores. Okay what the hell.

The flaws:

He states that the main reason why this game is not that great is because it has "too much spice"......."too much variety".....other games with "too much variety" usually get praised for this saught of thing WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, 10-12 hour game? ITS A 14-16 HOUR GAME INSOMNIAC HAVE STATED THAT!

HE DID NOT EVEN MENTION THE REPLAYABILITY LIKE ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS DID!

Then he ends with the most fanboyist biased conclusion ever........"it's a good game for a system that badly needs it"...................... ....oh come on nothing sus here boys.

WTF!!!!!!!!!! I've emailed Jeff and he hasn't replied and I am extremely angry! I used to think gamespot was alright, I knew they gave lower scores than other sights, but i mean WHAT THE HELL!

[Bigmac573]

This will not end well.

[Violater]

that feels that this dude consistently contradicts himself?

[jackfatal]

u r not wrong!

sometimes he says its the best ever and some times he says the opposite!
he complains about:1) too much game play 2)the story is bad 3)bad ending!
the first shouldnt be a complain and the second is his idiot way of thinking of what is a good story!! and yes if we take his words they still should have gave it above at least 9!!
we all know that they gave higher scores for games that lacks many things!! e.g halo 3 lack frame rate, campaign length,bad ending, almost nothing new from halo 2!! yet they gave it 9.5!!

[skagrerrrr]

was too easy?

[squallsoft]

...post a transcript, i dont have sound at work. i want know what this tool has to say...

[cloud360-7th_account]

" A really good game on a system that needs just thats"

So why not give it a high score . You gave it a 7.5.

A systems that needs awesome games and then he gives it a 7.5

[Shankle]

He's reading out the written review.

[ownallconsoles]

He gave the game compliments through out the entire review. So why did it get a 7.5? I hate gamespot even more, and the fact that this guy is executive editor.

It's a conspiracy, especially the other site that gave Ratchet and clank a 7.5 for lacking multiplayer yet gave Bioshock a 10. ??? WTF?

[EZCheez]

If i'm playing a game that last about twelve hours, I would expect variety, not shun it.

[Violater]

he would rather u just run and shoot the same things over and over for 12 hours.
That dude is officially a biased douche who came up with a score long before he played the game.
Too much variety???
come the hell on!!!!

[iceice123]

You sony girls care to explain why you flamed Halo 3 for its art style when you have this game? Come on I dare you to try and justify yourself. That's right, you can't. I can see this score being legit. The game has too much crap thrown in and isn't fleshed out at all. 7.5 sounds fair.

Dood below me is leik un funny lulz.

[ownallconsoles]

Where's the janitor? Cleanup on Aisle 6.

[jackfatal]

its an action adventure game!
its suppose to have all the colors in the world! and it suppose to be like a disney movie! and halo 3 suppose to be the bad ass killing and shoot em up these freaking aliens and is advertised for adult gamers also!! u get the differences now?? or should i spell it for u??

[WafflesID]

Interesting. I own both, and...How can you even begin to compare the two art styles?

The two games are so drastically different that they are beyond compare in any single aspect of the games.

That's just an absolutely retarded argument.

[SlappyMcTaint]

Or should I call you TheMart? Have you actually played the game, or are you just regurgitating what he thinks?

The double standard in game reviewing for 360 and PS3 games is nauseating, and we're pissed about it. What takes away points on the PS3 game will be forgiven on a 360 title.

[ARBitrator]

This ridiculous conspiracy theory going around that it something does not happen good for the PS3 that the person who said it's bad has either been paid off by microsoft or a 360 fanboy.

Now, some of you are saying gamespot hates the ps3. (Which think is ridiculous.) Even if this bozo missed the spot (no pun intended) on this particular review, it doesn't mean gamespot hates the PS3. This same argument is applied to any reviewer that give a ps3 game a negative review. I remember a while back PSM gave a PS3 game a lower that average rating and people were saying that the guy at PSM use to work for MS and that he is bias.

This type of whining doesn't help your case, IMO it actually hurts it. If you didn't b!tch about every single negative thing said about the PS3, maybe when you have a legitimate argument someone would actually listen. But right now you all sound like "the little boy that cried wolf" (Hopefully you've read the book or my comparison would be moot.)

Anyway, I agree 8.5 maybe, but 7.5 no way. But it is what it is, if you like the game then for god sake help out the developers and buy it. But, if you are on this site b!tching about the ratings and you're not even going to buy the game anyway, then you're just another whiny frickin' B!tch and you need to STFU!

[SlappyMcTaint]

1. Your point about the PSM editor... It wasn't just a rumor, he actually did work for xbox magazine. Fact.

2. About having a valid point and b!tching about it: Well here it is, silly. You contradict yourself, saying we're crying wolf, b!tching about the review, yet you disagree with the 7.5 yourself. Need I say more? If you can't see the anti-PS3 bias in this review, then you're blind.

[ARBitrator]

There you go again with another one of your conspiracy theories. First off, just because it was found to be fact that the guy a PSM did indeed work for MS at some point; that does not mean he hates the PS brand and would purposes and maliciously give PS3 titles lower ratings or lie for that matter in his reviews. Why would anyone risk their job and livelyhood just so they can hate on a stupid console. That's ridiculous! You know there's this one word, it called a "professional". These people are actually capable of objectively judging a product without bias. Look around you, if you look hard enough, you may actually find one near you. Like a friend that's not blinded buy the same paranoid beliefs that you have.

Secondly, just because I disagreed with the marks that the guy gave R&C doen't mean I am b!tching about it. There is a difference you know! For example: "This guy is and @$$ hole, I can't believe he rated this game so low." or "Man that jerk is clueless, what a douche, RC is better that, he must be getting paid off by Microsoft." vs "I agree folks, I would have given the game an 8.5 vs a 7.5." Now, can you see the difference?

Everyone on the planet that rates a PS3 game lower that you felt that they should have is NOT necessarily a HATER of the PS Brand or a MS implant.

Please man, it is what it is. If you like it go buy it and enjoy it. Everyone else doesn't have to. It's not mandatory you know.

[uxo22]

I couldn't agree more, well said.

[GaMr-]

TheMart reviewed it. That tool has to be the TheMart. I mean honestly dude. The Game has an Identity crisis? Wat the Fucc..... RETARD. Sorry for adding content to the game and variety. I guess this guy would of rather stared at Ratchets furry asss for 12 hours while continously hacking and slashing the same batch of enemies with Wrench. What a Lame-o. Learn about video games corn ball and stop bashing good product.

[ownallconsoles]

Themart? It has to be. Bubbles for you.

How does he manage to sneek into all these places. Remember how he got into the GDC and tampered with Lairs controls before it went into mass production?

Now he snuck into Gamespot and gave Ratchet and Clank the worst score for no reason. What a determined hater.

[TheMART]

Guys you're right....

I AM EVERYWHERE!!!

TheMART is in so many peoples head. It's like a religion...
Wanna see how Ratchet&Clank was in Leipzig on the Games Convention? (pic 1) and I sh!tted even on the PS3 (pic 2)

[whitesky]

@ TheMart

STFFF^ wow you sound like such a tool when you post anything here, why do you keep making yourself look like such a loser? You should collect all your posts here in a Notepad document and save it and not open it back up until your 30th birthday, and you will read and think back and just fvuck1ng CRINGE remembering how stupid you were lol WOWW

[GaMr-]

RINSE AND REPEAT !!!

[Skerj]

Your avatar is too damn hypnotizing!! That should have been a weapon in R&C.

[ATLRoAcH]

I agree I love that pic.Look at the girl on that ass.

[macsto]

Seven. Point. Five.

:)

[wil4hire]

This guy?!?1

LoL. What a tool...

Guys y ou know I am the #1 ps3 fanboi of the year here.. but this guy/gamespot isn't worth the text anymore.

He cant even speak, let alone review games.

If you want to look at reviews, look at the 15 other sources that gave this one a 90%+.
Let the Xbots enjoy suckling at the tit of Gamespot, acting as if its the king of reviews.

That guy can't even brush his teeth.

[wil4hire]

The average of the game is 90%. In the world of math, that doesn't mean that its average. This score is only based on 20 or so reviews as well.

Although I don't see how Halo3 came up, Halo3 is a good game, its average score is also 94%.

Personal attacks aren't accepted here xbot.

[tmatte]

You say there are no personal insults... then accuse him of being a fanboy. I <3 hypocrites.

[kss]

nice ass

[SmokeyMcBear]

yeah thats a first for me.. a negative score because it has too much different stuff you can do. Also he marks it down because some he uses some weapons too much because they are effective, so its the games fault that he only uses certain weapons rather than the dozens of different weapons and combos that are possible. Simply wow, just looking at that dude makes me want to punch him.

[Douchebaggery]

the biggest complain is that there's too much different sh!t to do in the game

that dude looked like he was in pain having talk about that game

[Captain Tuttle]

The guy should stick to writing and stay away from cameras.

[ownallconsoles]

that says something when a huge 360 fan can see the conspiracy in this review.

[macsto]

I think he meant he is ugly. The review is spot on.

[THE_JUDGE]

a PS3? and you beat it already? Shut up and go back to your crib, grown ups are talking.

[Skerj]

Yeah he has a face made for radio.

[skagrerrrr]

Captain!

[Real gamer 4 life]

They didnt find nothing bad with it so they made something up. He look likes a hardcore halo fan.

[PimpHandHappy]

maybe because he knows he is over his head in the game review department. That fat bastard looks like a total tool

I will agree with him on one thing thou from what i played in the demo. The game is 2 easy.

But like Stephen King said

"its not about the ending its about the Journey"

and at 14-16 hours long atleast this game has a good journey that looks awesome

[blusoops]

What you played in the demo is the first level, so yeah, it is supposed to be easy so you can get used to the controls...but once you start on level 2 and onward, it gets harder. Plus you can unlock a harder dificulty level once you beat the game. I got this game yesterday and I'm having a blast!!

[m9105826]

Gamespot Guy # 1:"Crap! There's NOTHING wrong with the game. How can I justify a bad review. No multiplayer? No, we didn't mark Bioshock down for it... There's just so much variety, it's amazing!"

Gamespot Guy # 2:"Yeah... Maybe a little TOO much variety..."

*both look at each other and laugh maniacally, not understanding how dumb that argument sounds to real humans*

@pete below: lol, I could see that conversation too. I watched the video again, and realized that this guy really is complete hypocrite. He talks about how everything but the story is stellar, and then says that that is forgivable because of the amazing gameplay. Then: 7.5. Also... apparently the BEST game this guy has every played is CoD3. His highest rated on his page.

[pilotpistolpete]

haha, funny stuff.

Gamepot guy #1: Oh, and whats the deal with playing both rachet AND clank?

Gamespot guy #2: Yeah, it confusing. I don't know who I am supposed to be playing

Gamespot guy #1: Seems like this game is having an "identity crysis" (wiggling his fingers to make imaginary quotation marks).

[Juneyp15]

these HAVE to be the funniest imaginary dialogues ive seen lmao

[xionpunk]

eh, i dont understand... he keeps saying it s a VERY good game, so why 7.5? He does seem to contradict himself a bit throughout.

[smash1031]

Actually according to gamespot 7.5 means "Very Good".

[kss]

somebody please tell this guy he is not funny

[iceice123]

Ratchet and clank:TOD is an average game.

[fenderputty]

Why would anyone tell him that? Seriously ... this is the only review that gives off the impression that the game is average. Every other review has been above average and most WAY above average. Keep grasping st straws though. Your desperation is at least funny to laugh at.

[notsonice]

While Icewake is an exceptional tool.

[SofaKingReetodded]

i think its time this tool icefake lost his bubbles.xbots are in love with taking bubbles let's see how they like being shut up.

[HondaSIRowner]

He looks as if someone has a Chrome piece aiming at him if he starts giving it a good review. BLAM!

[beavis4play]

funny! you get bubbles

[Ares84]

I hate this dude!!! He has no taste in games...all he likes is COD3 on Xbox 360...that's his highes rated game (8.5) wow!! Way to go dude frikkin' way to go!!

[sleepbox]

Bioshock is a new IP, therefore, it is not an old game series that removed features as R&Cs last game had multiplayer.

[Ares84]

...I rahter not have mp in R&C!! If I wanna play an mp game I go on to Warhawk!

[THUNDERMARE]

No, Bioshock is not a new IP, it is the spirit prequel of Systemshock.

[Hapimeses]

Well, that didn't help me understand the reviewer's final mark of only 7.5 for a game that seems to do everything every other R&C game does, but better.

Hmm, perhaps I'll think differently when I buy it, but at the moment, I'm a little bit stunned. Are all the other reviews wrong? I think not.

It seems pretty clear to me that ignoring this review is the best way forward. All the rest, after all, paint a very different picture.

[Yo Mama]

Too much Variety!!!?? Too much Variety!!?? Haters are grasping straws now!!!!!!!

[iceice123]

Not too much variety too much crap thrown in. Everything they thought of during development seems to have been implemented into the game. Nothing fleshed out or thought through just thrown in to add more content.

[Captain Tuttle]

Calm down man...you're hysterical.

[Devr]

I suppose you've played the game then?

[Drano]

No, he didn't play it... it's not Halo something.

Jump Beyond.

[Yo Mama]

Double Post

[Bonsai1214]

the way that he talked about it, if i didn't know that he gave it a 7.5, i would have guess a 8.6 or 8.9 at least.

but i'm still confused about how an incredible array of possible gameplay mechanics is a bad thing...

[WilliamRLBaker]

if those multiple gameplay elements detract from each other and breakup the pace.

This game isn't ment to be a sandbox game its a 3rd person shooter/platformer but its got puzzle elements/racing/skate board type levels...ect

[Bonsai1214]

which is variety, which is something new to the genre. but like its been said a million times, its just a matter of opinion.

[Topshelfcheese]

"This game isn't ment to be a sandbox game its a 3rd person shooter/platformer but its got puzzle elements/racing/skate board type levels...ect"

Except, every single Ratchet game has had those elements. Stop trying to help this guy out, he looked like he had a gun pointed at him off camera, but it doesn't matter, the game is great and I'm enjoying every minute of its multiple gameplay features.

[WilliamRLBaker]

Wahhh wahhh *cries* who cares if every other site gave it a high score we only care that gamespot gave it a lower one, wheres my rattle?

we all know sony paid off all the reviewers sept gamespot and thats why this is the only true review.

[Ares84]

You are out of your element!

EDIT:
So SONY who is not willing to pay for games, exclusive games, are paying reviewers insted??? Yes, probably you are right /sarcasm!

You should rethink your conspiracy theory!

lol at the ones who disagree

[Azures]

is that really your stance? please don't slip into that level of delusion. i'm sure 20+ other game review sites risked their credibility and were all paid by sony.

[WilliamRLBaker]

have you ever heard of sarcasm? no wait Its because its a ps3 game thats its delusional but when every sonyfanboy on this site made the bold claim of Microsoft paying off all reviewers when it came to halo 3 then its fine? lol fools

[DeadIIIRed]

Since when has too many features in a game been an issue? Tell you what, buy a PS3, get The Red Star and Ratchet & Clank. Red Star is a good game, but I guarantee you'll have a better time with Ratchet.

[Charlie2688]

I am still COMPLETELY confused on why exactly is a Sports game Reviewer...reviewing this game...

so what is next GS...give Madden to the FPS reviewer?

Edit: But I am confused, they didnt do that a while ago >.>

[Devr]

As a sports reviewer, he probably isn't used to games having any variety. :P Zing...

[squallsoft]

Icewake is a bigger tool than this reviewer. no ratchet and clank game has ever been average. period. this one is no exception. who cares what two tools think (icewave, gamespot)... bubbles please?

[kss]

icewake my posts are more real than your silly little existense

[dfcm2003]

Wow, First time iv ever heard of getting a bad review, for having to much stuff in the game? Wasn't lair, and HS slammed for being to short? How dare those Devs put in everything They wanted in a game. Dang you, Dang you.

I said it once before, I truly believe they are covering up for the Xbox reviews on Halo. Not that Halo is bad, but seems that They want it to be the Number one, so R&C gets the smack down.......

[Captain Tuttle]

Makes it seem like he's comparing it to previous R&C games and he thinks it falls a bit short. He really should review the game on it's merits and by itself.
It's just one guys opinion though.

[segasage]

turtle but how many times we have seen others call halo 3 halo 2.5? see ps3tards can look at games that way but one honest guys opinion doesn't matter...

[jackfatal]

u 2!! am gonna ask u a bunch of questions and i want u have them answered immediately!!!!! why the hell r u posting here for? who is ur sponsor?
who payed u? to what other sites u posted?

[Joecrazy]

Dont think Icewake can reply you now...I think he use up all 5 of his bubble spamming

[Devr]

Never before seen a game getting bashed for having variety. He listed swimming, space shooting and grinding on rails... But those have always been in the series, so how is it an "identity crisis"? Wtf?

[Pain]

The kiddies must have let them have it the prompt a responce >.>

[vaan]

Gamespot is the same site that gave DEF JAM ICON 8.5!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!
What a pile of sh1te that is!
Anyway, I got Ratchet yesterday and it's great.

[pwnsause]

yea seriously, gamespot crew was kind of high when they reviewed that dumb game...

[cr33ping_death]

regardless of the gamespot scoring,,,,its still a AAA game. that is what you MS faithful call games with such high scores right? am i right? im right arent i?

[Expy]

lol @ the poor reviewing by GameSpot.

[Bill Gates]

I haven't visited GameSpot in about 2yrs. Ever since they when all biased. which was about two years ago.

[TheReaperOfHearts]

Well this is one of the worst reviews ive seen it shows that its all good n give it a smack anyway 1up n gamespot r the only (basically) 2 sites that gave this game a low rating otherwise every site is givin it a 9+ well yea im disappointed that the game let go of its multiplayer ehhh was lookin foward to that :( anyway according to its looks n gameplay it atleast deserves an 8.9 XD gamespot (gamespit) u r the cheapest site ever :p giving no ps3 (sony game) a good rating XD

[xionpunk]

I think gamespot has these ridiculously high standards for games that are not halo (on ps3 or 360). Kind of like a super geek refusing to date anyone who is not a perfect 10 super model that can magically summon beer...

[XxZxX]

their reviews just down the drain

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

*Submits CV to Gamespot*

I can make way better reviews!

[mistertwoturbo]

Gamespot is the only website that has given the game anything less than an 8. And the websites that do give it an 80% are the ones who only base they're scores from 1 to 5. So it gets a 4/5. But websites who base it on a 1 to 10 scale or 1% to 100% scale all gave it at least a 9 or 90% and above.

7.5? That's 3/4. Which in actuality isn't that bad. This Aaron Thomas guy is not a M$ fanboy. He's just a sports fanboy. Which is mind boggling why gamespot even chose him to review the game.

[Premonition]

I dont see how it got a 7.5, I mean everyone knows how bad people complained about a game like Two worlds, with all the bugs and everything it had in it it got a high score from GS compared to the other sites that gave it a pretty bad score. I mean R@C should atleast be in the 8.0 section, but I guess this is what happens when you look like fat rejected version of Peter moore.

[Kadajvs]

gamespot is full of BS...i stop going to that site years ago..Ratchet and Clank didnt get below a freakin 9 on over a dozen review sites so this actually makes gamespot look like big idiots because as time has proven they suck at game reviews..anywho PS3 owns FTW

[mesh1]

BEST previews tbh rand c is a kiss game nothing else were is the creativity same old game with better grapics and the grapics in my opinion are just standard.

[IdontTakeSides]

So wasn't Halo 3 just the same game with a lil graphical update..nothing creative or innovative about it yet GS gave it a 9+...the graphics is great are you blind..?

[MajorgamerQc]

Yhea just like Halo 3 hein?

[Takumi86]

M'S MUST HAVE THROWN HIM A LOTS OF MONEY

[xionpunk]

actually, i hate all of these types of meaningless ranking systems.
i wish it would just be recommend/dont recommend type of deal. the number based grading has always been stupid now that i think of it.

[IdontTakeSides]

okay so umm what made the game get a 7.5 this review doesn't justify the score..and apparently this douche has never played a R&C game b4 cuz most the mini games he mentioned were similar to ones we found in past games...ne ways..I think the game is great btw that guy needs to learn how to read off que-cards better how convincing was he..!!!

[GameHero]

Oh and I forgot to mention if this were a 360 title it would have gotten a "Perfect 10".

[SpenserTracy]

This reviewer is taking it in the butt.

[Ahmadinejad]

They just love being controversial. hehehe

[remix]

has 2 tripple AAA titles in 1 year compared to 360s 1. rachet and uncharted ftw

[StrboyM]

that review didnt sound like a 7.5....

[wangdiddy82]

and you will see how much of a complete moron this guy is..

I bought the game last night at best buy.. Got home and played it for about 2 to 3 hours.. I stoped at the planet where you first get to play with clank.. I didnt wont to stop but i had to get some zzz's.. Game sucks you in because its soo much fun....

So far this game is freaking awesome.. There is so much you can do and you can roam around the planets on your free will.. This game is pure fun and reminds me and will remind you how much fun games like these can be.. Its for all ages too.. It reminds me of the first crash bandicoot game but way way better.. This game brings me back to the old gaming days.. Everything about the game is top notch from the graphics, weapons, gameplay, and story.. Its good to have games like these because its not your typical shooter that we all play day to day..

From what i have played i will give this game a 9.5
This game is worth every penny and from what i have heard its about 15 hours long..

[frank jaeger]

dude yr the most annoying ps3 fan boi on this site , ur like the mart of ps3 , ur supposed to support R&C thats ur job(just like not even giving xbox a chance)! i played the demo on my friends ps3 and i didnt like it as much as i enjoyed the 2nd game of ratchet and clank , when i played the first lvl of R&C TOD i didnt get that click ,howver this fatso is worng 7.5 is way to low the tops id give this game is 8.9

nuff saidz

[Coke-a-Cola]

Perhaps Gamespot had a massive fight with someone related to R & C or Sony Who knows.
The score is out of line by at least 5 to 10 points in 100 . that much seems clear .
But Gamespot comes up with Egg on their collective face because this LOW score is either
a Fib of sorts of just plain Stupid .

We can't be sure Jeff Gersman wasn't away for the weekend.

In any case they Certainly lost a long time Fan Here.

[parasite]

Ok is it just me, or did that guy look like he was trying to pinch a loaf during the whole review? God why cant people just give credit were it is due, and equal credit for that. I think halo3 deserved a high score, but not for the champaign. I was shocked out how fast it was over, and really let down how it ended. I was hoping the ending would be more dramatic, like the forerunners returning to help chief in the end or something. Oh well you cant have everything. I am thoroughly enjoying ratchet and clank so far. The gameplay is near perfect and the graphics are better then anything to date imo. I urge everyone to just rent or buy new games, because now even videogame sites hire fanboys. FORM YOUR OWN OPINION!

[WafflesID]

I'd hate to be this guy's inbox.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

is not like the others~

http://gsratchet.ytmnd.com/

[Wii60_FTW]

Some legitimate claims.

EDIT: lmao @ disagrees. what? so the game isn't easy and lacking camera options? f*cking fanboys.

[wangdiddy82]

and insomniac deserve way more respect.. They did a great job on this game.. Its a lot better than the crap out there these days..

By the way that guy reviewing the game looks like a child molester.. Where do they find these weird people with no lives or friends?

[harpua]

That guys face was made for radio.

[Razzy]

FU Gamespot. I'm done with ya.

[wangdiddy82]

was made to work at mc donalds or walmart as a stock boy..

[socsca]

I think they maid a type-o the first time, intending to give it 8,5 and then decided to stick with it so as to not look stupid.

[nirts]

this guy has no idea what he's talking about.

what makes a rachet game fun is all those other stuff you can do in it.
if the game is just the core story line it would suck.

[Lionsguard]

there need to be multiple reviews from people on one gaming site and then average them together. This guy had more positives than negatives and his negatives just sounded like b!tching to me. "Too much variety"? WTF...in an age of monotonous gaming and linear gameplay styles all of a sudden variety is bad? Who the heck is this guy? He just needs to stop playing videogames.

[hokieman]

I've been a fan of N4G.com for a while, but hadn't really seen a need to post a comment. This review really changed my mind! So I created an account. I have to say that this is the most idiotic review of a great game that I have seen in my time as a gamer (and at age 30 i've been gaming for a while). I bought this game yesterday and I have yet to find fault with it. The graphics are gorgeous... the gameplay is right on the money.... and the story is even pretty good so far. In my opinion this game shouldn't receive a score below a 9.0 and I think that is even low. Insomniac I give props to you!

[lonestarmt]

aw nice to have a new member! I'm giving you a bubble, think of it as a house warming gift. Plus I totally agree with you! Good luck against Boston college tonight!! haha

[wangdiddy82]

No more gamespot.. send this douche bag hate mail...,

DragunBallZ = Go watch your kid shows and shut up before i tell your mom your being bad..

[PimpHandHappy]

anyone that says this game is average because this fat turd gave the game a 7.5 compared to the 9's across the board you should be adding to ur ignore list and taking bubbles

its funny how the ppl on my ignore list are the ones telling us this game is average.

looks like i know a fanboy when i see one

[jib]

played it. R&C deserves 8.5 and up IMO

[Coke-a-Cola]

...

[N4GayFanturds]

$400-$600 and you get to play a kids game that's easy even on the hardest level?

Hey if Dave & Busters cost $350 to get in and Champs cost $600 to get in yet most games you play at Champs are at D&Bs looking better and coming out sooner, then what justifies Champs cost?

Surely not Ratchet & Clank, Lair or Heavenly Sword.

Ah well, Sony Fantards...back to waiting!

@75.1 - You're right, so lick 'em!

[Lionsguard]

Your name speaks for itself no need to counter-bash.

[XxZxX]

lol dragunballz just got owned.

[whoelse]

They know that this game is superb but they give it a 7.5 out of 10 because they know no other site will give it such a low score and it will stand out from the rest. Meaning more visitors to their site to investigate!

Thats my theory :D

[pshizle]

gspot is always right b1t ch es so dont complain

[cellavie]

It's supposed to be easy! And I will never ever visit Gamespot again because of this stupid review. It's just a 360-fanboy site.

I hope they will lose a lot of users because of this. They've made a fool of themselves.

[Torch]

Their description of the game strongly contradicts their mediocre score.

If I knew nothing about the game, I'd be compelled to run out and buy it ASAP, based solely upon their comments:

-A cross between a cartoon and a Pixar movie.
-Rock-solid gameplay.
-Diverse gameplay mechanics.
-Strong voice-acting; funny dialogue.
-10-12 hours of gameplay.

Yet, their ironic final score seriously compels me to question the author's supposed unbiasedness, as well as the validity of this review.

[WilliamRLBaker]

*cries* wahhhhh one bad review destroys the game *cries* wahhhhh Rattle rattle wheres my RATTLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So because one site gives it what 1.5 points below the average they are biased? paid off by microsoft?...ect
FACT all sonyfanboys say microsoft had paid off reviewers when halo 3 got 9.5-10s did the majority of xbox fanboys cry when other sites gave it lower scores...OH WAIT! now i remember only the most fanboyish of sites fake sites...ect gave it a low score....SO I can now see why you lil babies are so hurt because an ACTUAL professional site, one that has cred in teh industry gave your game an 7.5 you've now wet your pants in fear.

And Why am I here? because....I can be....And because I wanna rub it in the sonyfanboys faces they are acting like babies because One game got a low score at one site compared to the others...oh and im bored playing orange box right this 2nd.

@dragonball
Yeah i know its funny how all the sony fanboys are so disturbed by one review its a freaking review.

STONE GAMESPOT! BURN THEM! HOW DARE THEY SCORE LOW A GAME NONE OF US HAVE PLAYED AND Most of us didn't even play the first 4 games! STONE THEMM!!!!!!

Spam=Advertising or posts that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

My posts=comments on the stupidity of sonyfanboys for complaining about a single websites review.
and I've not had my ass handed to be a single time in this article thank you very much.

your a fool, My posts are the ones that sound like an MS commercial? where as all the sonyfanboys in the thread saying Gamespot is biased fake,paid of by microsoft are ok?

fool is you are.

[N4GayFanturds]

You're preaching like a Reverend in Church!

[pilotpistolpete]

Isn't it funny that you wasted all your bubbles ona topic that doesn't speak to you. You obviously just came here to spam, and everytime you commented, someone handed you your as$.

I don't get it. Why do you come and spam topics? I think ms has mastered the art of brainwashing, to the point that they can turn people, such as yourself, into complete tools who try to plug in 360, or bring down the ps3, on command. How does it feel? You're free advertising for MS. And in the end you pay them!

When reading the thread, comments like yours are like MS commercials, and I hate commercials. If you're gonna be an MS whor, at least ask them to pay you, or give you a swag bag of some sort.

[PLAYSTATION4EVER]

boy oh boy!! man o man!!

gamespot.com and 1up.com = microsoft. microsoft pay gamespot.com and 1up.com huge amount of money just to rate PS3 games so low.

Every Playstation 3 games never gotten a 9.5 or higher.

Halo 3 just like Halo 2 with little updates.

Rachtet and Clank is an tripe awesome game. i played 6 hours straight none stop.

Rachet and Clank should deserve a 9.2 or 9.5.

This game rocks as fun as eating hotcakes.

gamespot and 1up is microsoft make reviewers sites. microsoft is doing their dirty jobs by writing dirty ugly pay checks to them both for giving Rachet and Clank a low score 7.5

microsoft sucks and is losing the console war. haha to them. xbox sucks totally indeed.

oh me!! i dont like xbox.

why would microsoft do dirty jobs behind? writing checks to reviewers to rate this game to low 7.5.

microsoft knows that they suck D*** that's why bungie left them for good.

microsoft got no talents and innovation. use the same old devs.

PS3 is future proof console for life.

[batman2million]

Gamespot just does it for the attention. Giving twilight princess an 8.8 was the line for me. Everyone is giving this game a 9 plus-

[AERIES]

7.5 gamespot im looking at you

[PLAYSTATION4EVER]

people/gamers are leaving gamespot and canceling their subscriptions for good indeed.

gamespot give twilight princess a 8.8, that's just not right.

gamespot and 1up seem to rate all PS3 and Nes Wii games so low.

twilight princess should deserve a 9.0 or higher.

microsoft pay gamespot and 1up double of what Sony pays them that's why the only reason gamespot and 1up rate PS3 and Nes Wii games so low just 8.8 or under.

Gamespot.com suck D*** and they just wanted attention.

[badkolo]

have you guys even played the game, the game looks out of this world, but yeah hes kind of right, i wouldnt give it a 7.5, more like 8.8

im having fun with it so i wont complain, it is to easy though, very easy.

[mikeslemonade]

Those are the same F'ing things there going to complain about mario and previous 3d marios and they're going to give it atleast an 8.5. Weak story, too much different good gameplay, and too easy.

[lil Titan]

ok i just watched the vid and i still dont know why they gave it a low score, would anyone like to tell me where GameSpot gets there weed from

[Adamalicious]

What an idiot - pretty much every single one of his criticisms is unfounded

To paraphrase:
"Variety in gameplay is bad, I only like to run and shoot" - idiot
"The story is lame" - WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?!?

and that was pretty much it. He said everything else is awesome, but dinged it that much because of his opinion, which is heartily outside the mainstream.

[SofaKingReetodded]

any credibility are foaming at the mouth xbots, nuff said.

[Relientk77]

so wait (i watched the video) it seemed like that review went over pretty well and it gets a 7.5???? ... um what ... becuz "its too easy".. and the game has "too much spice and too many features" ... features? fine lets put NO features in the game and just make it the same thing over and over ... wow gamespot U FAIL

heres a small record of reviews

R&C Future IGN -> 9.4
GAMESPOT -> 7.5

Resistance: FOM IGN -> 9.1
GAMESPOT -> 8.6

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360) GAMESPOT -> 9.6
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3) Gamespot -> 9.5

Motorstorm IGN -> 8.9
GAMESPOT -> 7.9

Lair IGN -> 4.9
GAMESPOT -> 4.5

Folklore IGN -> 9.0
GAMESPOT -> 7.0

The Eye of Judgement IGN -> 8.0
GAMESPOT -> 7.5

Warhawk IGN -> 8.8
GAMESPOT -> 8.5

oh yea ... gamespot isnt biased at all...

seriously WHAT THE FVCK!!!!

[PLAYSTATION4EVER]

i'm on the fire planet where the little triangle blue thing locate next.

i would give this game 9.0 or higher, 9.0 at least.

9.5 is my real reason.

just like this game so much, i can't stop playing - as goes for Warhawk too.

I've been playing Warhawk for the whole weeks = i've been missing out on my sleeping and eating times + i don't even have times going to the bathroom and take a piss

[gtgcoolkid]

Microsoft ****sucker. I hope he got some money for his trouble. Will help to feed him. ****er.

[caffman]

get over it. It was one review. Or is everyone so paranoid. Its not like he gave it 2.5 and called it scratchit and w@nk is it?

[PLAYSTATION4EVER]

gamespot rate all PS3+Wii games lower than xbox 360. what the FVCK?? gamespot and 1up is microsoft make reviewers sites. everyone knows that so i just wanna repeat myself again and again even more.

to let people know that gamespot sucks and is being pay by microsoft. cnet is microsoft site.

boy oh me!!

gamespot put down all PS3 games even they're better than box 360.

that's for sure.

microsoft pays game developers just to make PS3 games delay.

this dude is just like the fat dude in the orange box leader. they both fat and ugly.

[mariusmal]

"too many game mechanics" c'mon since when is that bad if they are all well done. most of the time these reviewers criticize that the gameplay could be more diversified. and now it's bad? i tought that they didnt liked the game... but now im jumping in gamespot hate carriage with my machete on full swing. the guy seems he is nervous with the game.

[Bolts]

Per the review: Fun gameplay, great graphics, but too many fun gameplay mechanics, final score a 7.5.

WTF!!??

[Maddens Raiders]

This game is too good in too many areas and since it's on the PS3 we have to find something to b*tch about, so our gripe is that it has too many OPTIONS and FEATURES & we all know that that just sucks.

LOL@Gamespot.

[PLAYSTATION4EVER]

you can tell that all the PS3 fans going to POOWHOOO, call him fat ass.

the way he talks he's so nervous, saying positive comments about Rachet and Clank and then 7.5 is just not right at all.

Is this fat ugly ass guy retardedededEDED or what?

this fat guy suck D***.

╜9╩τ§ô╫╫╫⌂»

EDIT: xbots are fat and bold, stupid as well.

Blu-ray is going to own HD DVD for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

gamespot just a lame crappy reviewers site. Fcuk that fat ugly ass dude. he got no hairs at all.

no one would ever respect a dude what half hairs. i just laugh at him in his review. he look hella nervous, i smell him really good. poopoo in his pant.

[Skerj]

So by that logic, they should have the same guy review Mario Galaxy right? Because it seems to have "too many gameplay elements" as well, dying to see how that "works out". Geez come the eff on, that has to be the dumbest thing I've heard come from a reviewer next to docking a game that didn't need a multiplayer component for not having one. He didn't even say the "numerous" gameplay mechanics were broken!!

[xg-ei8ht]

This game has too much, so they give it a lower score,lmfao.

Hhahahahahaha.

Now thats Stupid, He's not only confirmed he's fat,bald, but now stupid as well.

Ding Ding Ding!!!

[Spinitus]

is that wat an XBOT looks like??? LMAO

[th3_d3an]

BECAUSE OUR HEADS ARE SHOVED UP MICROSOFT'S ARSES!!!

THIS IS SAD THAT THEY EVEN MADE THAT VIDEO

[IdontTakeSides]

haha im pretty sure they won't let this guy review ne more platformers..imagine if he reviewed Mario Galaxy and gave it a 7.5 also...haha..besides I never take GS reviews seriously look at the score they gave Lair...and I found it to be a very enjoyable game...and this video only makes GS seems even more biased...leave the video reviews to IGN..plz..!!

[techie]

lol you're all playing into their hands

[FunnyBone]

Then why are all you (Seems like Women)B*t*hing over 1 yes 1 reveiw...Is it insecurity or what.....You girls really dont know how stupid you look crying over 1 yes 1 reveiw.....Get over it..Buy the game and enjoy....

Passing around Midol to all the B * t * h y Women in here....

CALM DOWN...

[TheUltimatePS3Fanboy]

Gamespot stop trying to cover your asses you have a bad review on your hands. I mean if you had been this harsh on Halo 3 we would've seen Halo 3 with a score of 6.7! I mean come on one of your arguements is that theres to many FEATURES in the game! What kind of BS is this Gamespot thats what me and thousands of other people want to know.

[Daz]

Does it fuoking matter just enjoy the game, god sake lol
Someone gave it a low score lets bash and send hate mail :/ lol
SO many people takes reviews to seriouly its sad to see.

Everyone goes on there own opinion wright? i hope so anyway.

[FF7numba1]

f gamespot aka lemspot!!!lol i'm done with them.

[cmrbe]

Heres 3 possibilities
1. They want attention.
2. They were paid off.
3. They are just incompetent.

They said that the game has too many gameplay mechanics, It too easy, The story is not serious enough. Common GS this is RC. I guess they were expecting a serious story like Killzone with the difficulty of Ninja Gaiden. Again i'll say this. I don't mind a low score from a reviewer but please be reasonable with why. Perhaps Insomniac should have just allow one weapon. "Too many gamplay mechanics" WTF

[FunnyBone]

1.Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2.Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
3.STFU and GET OVER IT....

[cmrbe]

What is
1.Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2.Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Daz]

most of the people in this fread enjoy the game wright? then why complain? it does not matter to me, its only a number someone gave on there opinion.

[Nth RooCH]

I don't visit here much anymore due to the disgusting fanboy orgy that goes on in almost every thread. However this thread thus far has garnered well over 100 replies, and not one has actually looked at the reality of the review. So I figured I might as well inject some rational, heterosexual opinion into this massive sausage fest.

THE REVIEW'S BAD POINTS...
*Too easy
the game is 12 hours long, yet only gets even mildly challenging at the 12th. So to put that into fractions, there is only ONE TWELFTH of the game that is even approaching challenging. You don't think that would reduce the score way under a nine?

*Bad story
Despite nice voice acting, the story is lacking in any drive, so throughout you never really feel driven to go to the next level. Again, you guys ignore this point, but he makes it quite clear. What is high scoring about a game of 12 hours, which from each hour you never actually feel compelled to move on? And when you do finish it, a rubbish cliffhanger. Halo 2 anyone?

*No control over content
Now I know you are all rubbing each others crotches laughing at the words "too much variety", but the way he puts it if you listened, was that it seems whoever was planning the content had no concept or denying an idea. And worse still, for the hundreds of random ideas, you wind up getting into a routine of using the most effective few anyway. Imagine another game with 100 weapons, of which you wind up using the same 10. High score? Hardly.

Fact of the matter is you guys all whined about Halo getting nines and tens because it was too easy, and didn't look good enough. You all went off about how at best, it was a 7.5. Yet now you have Ratchett, which is too easy and has a crap story, and you're all lambasting the low score, claiming it deserves a nine or ten. So keep whining, keep insulting the guys looks and keep jacking each other off. Because if you don't keep yourselves busy, god forbid you might realise you are all hypocrites. And all the disagrees in the world won't stop this comment from being absolutely factual. I hope you all enjoyed having the worlds biggest spotlight raised on your own idiocy.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I agreed. But honestly "too easy" has always been associated with ratchet and clank unless your like 6. The story has never been compelling for me, I kept playing because I liked blowing stuff up and laughing at the goofy weapons. Thirdly, maybe their is too many weapons making it even easier, but the fun part is you get to experiment with them and have fun and say you play the whole game using a few weapons, well ok now challenge yourself to play the whole game WITHOUT using those weapons...I don't know too much variety too me is still a quite odd remark, in my eyes it keeps it fresh and invigorating.

[Daz]

If your a fanboy or not he is right lol. Good post.

[eleaz14]

so... i guess that you played the entire game?

i doubt so....

[ItsDubC]

lol ouch.

+1

[IdontTakeSides]

well R&C were never known for it's difficulty , next thing bad story..? not driven to move on to the next level..okay then..well I have been playing the game since yesterday and I dont see how this make sense..cuz Ratchet was never known for it's fantastic story telling okay..it's more about the humor of the game..

No control over content...did you even listen to what the guy pointed out as the problem...ohh too much variety Ratchet can swim , grind rails..use the motion controls to unlock doors , fly a space ship ..dude all of these gameplay mechanics have always been apart of the series all they did was use them all in this game...lame excuse
ohh about the huge amount of guns isn't that the trade mark for Ratchet & Clank games..the weapons add replay value to the game

And ur beign biased cuz from ur post I can see you've neever played a R&C game b4...dont compare this game to Halo..kk..wait for Killzone dude...and ur beign a hypocrite for actually judging a game base on another hypocrite opinions and then stating it as fact...

[Nth RooCH]

PS360ROCKS :
Fair comment dude. My point with this post wasn't to directly insult the game, rather to point out what this dude was saying. The majority of this thread is people going "TOO MUCH VARIETY, LOL" and ignoring 90% of the valid criticism.

eleaz14 :
No, nor ever have I said so. Does that make this reviewers criticism any less relevant? I have never said I played it, and haven't said anything about the game from my part. What I have done, is put the criticism into bullet points, and asked those complaining to tell me a game with these flaws deserves more than 7.5

IdontTakeSides :
First of all, lol @ your ironic name. Second of all, actions aren't content. Content is stuff like weapons and gadgets. If a game has a hundred weapons, it's clear someone isn't doing their job. Variety is wonderful if all of the variations are usable and provide something new. Sadly however, this is a linear platforming title. To give a linear title a hundred weapons is pointless, the story and levels will still be the same (and as mentioned, the story is said to be poor). So for you to call me a hypocrite is ridiculous. I have never said these are my opinions. My point is, these are HIS opinions, and you ignoring them won't make them any less true. My post was factual, because they were what he said. Does that mean he was right? No. It means I accurately documented HIS opinions.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I noticed three things

1.) He's very ugly
2.) His huge teeth
3.) Petty ass reviewing, TOO much variety!? Oh my god no please no, NOT VARIETY! How dare you Insomniac! How dare you!

They might have something on the difficulty, which kinda sucks, but these games have never been hard for me.

[Dpa]

I kinda feel sorry for that dude, seems like he wasn't the only one to blame for that terrible review.

[cellavie]

It doesn't matter even if we're only talking about one review. This is just ridiculous. He says the story is lame, game is easy - but that doesn't mean the game deserves a 7.5.

If I was the game developer for this game and read this guys review, I would be so pissed off. This is one of the most anticipated games for PS3 and the game developers have done a fantastic job, all the other sites gave this an average of 9.0.

This fatass should be ashamed of himself.

[eleaz14]

they were the last site to show their review, because they were thinking and burning their heads, trying to find a excuse to not give R&C the AAA place, that it deserves.

Personally i don't care about reviews, but i care about those people who let themselves be influenced by reviews, so i think that all GS loyalist wont buy this game, is truly sad :/.

Imsomniac and all their work will be underapreciated, because of this guys.
NOw the game will sell like 10% less.

[UltramanJ]

I mean, I do take their reviews into consideration, but I've never gone by one site/magazine's review anyway, and I'm sure most of you don't either. Ratchet is a fantastic game, bottem line, so who cares if one Gamespot reviewer didn't find it to be a 9?

[gamesR4fun]

Dude does nothing but blabber about how good the game is cause its impossible to say otherwise then tries to justfy his crap review on pure bs......... yep a real reliable source

[Timesplitter14]

It's still unacceptable. GS has lost all of its credibility ever since the Super Smash Bros review (7.5/10)

[shysun]

R&C:Dead lock was just a pure shooter,which GS bashed to high hell.Now they return to their roots and guess what...GS bashes it!lol retards

[Antiomo]

it sounds like there is alot of goodness in this game.

[soccerstar]

o no a 7.5 because there is too many fun things to do what a dumb@ass

[Wolfmoonstrike]

1.made it to attractive
2.made it to fun
3.made it so that way you are not doing the same thing over and over again
4.made it pixar quality
5.made a funny and interesting story
6.made it 3d
7.used to many colors
8. and most of all made it on the ps3! (I mean seriously how could they!)
what they should of done:
1.made it 2d
2.made it grey
3.made it the same thing over and over again
4.made it on the xbox
then it would of got a 10/10
dont you guys know anything?!

on a seperate note
this game is wicked! bought it last night but haven't been able to play because my girlfriend won't stop playing lol

[ElementX]

God, give it a rest. So the reviewer doesn't like it. Big deal, move on.

[SofaKingReetodded]

enough of retarded xbots and their crap, we stood by while other good titles have gotten unfair reviews, we have stood by while outrights lies about the capability of the PS3 have been spread, now they are trying to dis a genuinely fun game that is beautiful to look at.

I think xbots in their idiocy have managed to wake up the sleeping playstation fanbase giant.

[gunnerforlife]

i think he nearly sh1ted himself doing that video lol that d1ckhead should never review another game in his entire life

[Cutnell]

This guy doesn't even know what he is trying to say. "The game is beautiful, it has lots of options, many different gameplay mechanics and weapons, and it's fun. However, it's easy and there are about 5 weapons(only 5!? isn't that more than the average shooter?) you will constantly use because they are effective. Also, sometimes it seems like there are too many gameplay mechanics. So I'm going to give it a 75."

Granted I don't know what this guys previous reviews are like(I'm not going to look because I'm sure he will be just as contradictory), but I am having a hard time grasping what he expects from the game in order for it to garner a higher score.

This is also one ugly man, please refrain from video reviews(or reviewing in general) in the future.

[tordavis]

1. I would hope that none of the GUYS in this thread found that reviewer attractive
2. Do you think something bad will happen because he gave the game 7.5?

I think that PS3 fanboys needed something. They needed something to talk about. Something to shove in the Xbots faces. Halo got great scores from every magazine and website. Ratchet and Clank didn't. Now they are pissed. They really can't use the, "Ratchet & Clank scored 90+ everywhere" argument. Don't worry about it fanboys. Go buy the game and enjoy it. That's all that matters.

[HerbZMan]

Listen all fanboys and everyone else, I own both true next gen consoles, and I don't favour one over the other. I value un-biased reviews. Why, because this is the only true scale we all use to determine what games to spend our hard earned cash on. Now when a site like this (Gamespot) is obviously biased toward the other next gen system, the fact is, you can't beleive anything else they post.Why, because the if their gonna give quality PS3 games low scores, then their gonna give mediocre games high scores for their system of choice (360). This is a serious issue because it plays with my money and yours. So when you come across a biased game review site like this one, do all us gamers a favor, never go back again, and soon enough they will realize, hopefully not before they die off. I'm tired of wasting my money on terrible games, i'm sure you are too. Death to gamespot.

[boodybandit]

all I can say is the person (I didn't watch the interview because there is no justifications for his review, NONE) that wrote this article should be fired. This is one of the most brilliant in the series with absolutely amazing visuals and sound. This is an incredible game from start to finish. Every new level wows me more than the one before it.

[gololo]

bad review

[skagrerrrr]

the review should be constructive, not non-positive!

[BaMYouRDeaD]

Variety is a bad thing?

I really didn't see much reason the video review gave for them giving the game a 7.5. Basically the written review with a very nervous reviewer talking.

[raub]

AWESOME game

[ashtar313]

the guy who is reviewing the game is a total ass hole

[Padre]

LOL all the PStards.

Get OVER it, Ratchet & Clank Future IS NOT an AAA game. Go and see the metascore of the game, is below 90!!!! Don't commit suicide after you see this, PStards:

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

R&C IS NOT AAA GAME - R&C IS NOT AAA GAME - R&C IS NOT AAA GAME - R&C IS NOT AAA GAME -

Face it fanboys.

[Solid_Skip]

Iam proud of every one who posted a comment, its about time we can all agree on one thing and not let our egos take over. i loved every comment, an its true, why cant the reviews just be even, there are great xbox games and great ps3 games, just want a fair review on the games so i dont have to waist my money for no reason.

[progx]

You fanboys are getting even worse, maybe you should all get together and cry with each other. Seriously its one review, GET OVER IT.

[BSigel81]

I bet IGN was laughing at Gamespot when they took my $19.95....hahahahaha. Almost had me Gamespot I'm just to intelligent for your lies.

[stuntman_mike]

hey remember its only one review out of plenty that think its great, also who gives a damn what gamespot says people are still gonna buy it in droves believe!

[BloodySinner]

I love how most of you would dare comment on someone's looks over the internet. Where are your pictures? Because I would love to see most of you greasy, pimple-faced geeks. But you know what? I don't think so because something tells me that most of you are on UGLYPEOPLE.COM.

As for the GameSpot review, YES I do believe 7.5 is quite low for such an awesome title. No, I do not own a PlayStation 3 and NO, I have not played the game yet. However, judging from screenshots and game videos online, this is definitely a title that seriously deserves rating of 9 and above.

[Cutnell]

I also stand by my comment. Even if I was as ugly as him, does it matter? Is it unacceptable for another ugly person to call someone else out for their faults? It's like making fun of somebody for being old when you are the same age as them.... It's a relevant observation. This kind of criticism happens all the time. Sure, you could argue that it's hypocritical, but is it? Calling someone ugly, when that is your opinion, is simply stating your opinion, nothing more/nothing less.

I agree with your take on the gamespot review.

Edit: @137.2 point well taken. See correction. However, this still doesn't change the fact that if you think someone else is ugly, regardless of what you look like, you can still call them ugly.

[BloodySinner]

How is that fact? If I saw your mother and called her ugly, does that make it fact? No. It's an opinion NOT a fact.

[hadouken007]

he say's there's to many gadgets in the game, but i read, and maybe it's just me, TOOLS of destruction! then he says its not better then going around shooting people, figure that one out. i bet if halo 11teen came out he'd still give it a 9.5.he's a fish.

[arika]

gamespot, game revolution, gamespy and 1up are all biased. they are all pro-microsoft. if you read all their hate reviews on ps3 its like they are only looking for the faults which is hard to do with a game like this and not look into the beauty of the game. this game has almost all the aspect in flawless cohesion. i mean if you are a real gamer, just try spending a little time with ratchet and clank and it will put you in a state of awe and happiness that can only be experienced with a game like this. i tell you guys give it a whirl and you will know what i mean.

[Skizelli]

Look at you fools, calling this guy names like children over a review. That's pretty pathetic. Since when does one man's opinion about a game prevent you from enjoying it? If it's so good, go play it. Why whine about someone's opinion?

As if mailing the reviewer with complaints and blaming M$ for having something to do with the bad review is going to change or solve anything. Grow up, kiddies. It's not the end of the world.

[Rossi-4-ever]

WTF

i have had a ps3 since launch, bought f1, motorstorm and ressistance,

F1 prob has best graphics of racing game on any system,

when i fist played resistance i knew it was good but i always thought halo3 would be an awesome game, now i have seen halo3 and resistance looks so much better, insomniac are an awesome game developer.

Now i downloaded Ratchet and Clank demo and even though i am a racing fan, i thought the demo was brilliant, good to see how a insomniac can utilise the ps3 system capabilities so quickly to make a visually astounding game,

The game deserves 90%+ and gamespot i am sure have not been honest in their review, they should hang their heads in shame.

p.s I wonder what the next XBOX will be called??? xbox xbox360 xbox???

[Ahhhh]

@SlappyMcTaint - and I bet $1,000,000,000 that if that did happen then you'd be right there watching them.

So.. Simple Question, actually two.
1. So whats wrong with this game to deserve a 7.5?
nd
2. So when this dude gives a bad review, why is everyone saying something about the 360 an games? Let me guess.. M$ payed them to give a bad review right? Just because he gave a bad review don't mean you hafta diss the 360 and games..

WE ALL know this (well hopefully) is going to be a great game just like the other R&C Games, so quit b!tchin and just buy the damn game, and have fun with its "too many fun stuff to do" gameplay. I know I will.=]

[demolitionX]

this game has already set the bar for next gen gaming! agree with me or not! it'a FACT. My only catch on TOD, why don't we have a co-op campaign were one player can play with ratchet and the other plays with clank;P
maybe next ratchet!!!

[ParaDise_LosT]

I though you guys don't like Cartoonish games O_O!!!!

I kid I kid! please don't kill me T_T

Seriously tho..........
That guy...
is......
FAT O_O

[Ahhhh]

You kid? I thought they really didn't like Cartoonish games?=/

[Enigma_2099]

That being said, here's my gripe... The game suffers from having TOO many game mechanics... weren't they PRAISING the GTA series for this sort of thing once? is he saying that variety is a BAD thing?

And just once... ONCE, can you people chill and knock of the fanboy baiting and bashing?!?!?

[JosefTor]

I can't wait to get a PS3 to play this game, Killzone 2 and Motorsport. I currently have a 360 and a Wii. This generation is just too expensive with three great consoles.

[INehalemEXI]

If you look at PS3's new release page , you see 3 of the new releases were rated 7.5 including RC:ToD ....... Like they just waved the ps3 haters wand.

Gamespot has lost its way.

[Daishi]

It breaks my heart that this is the most commented on "news" at N4G today....

[Genki]

According to him, the game is loads of fun and has lots of variety, but the variety is in some way a bad thing because it detracts from the platforming. I just don't get it to be honest. I've heard of entirely too many games get slammed for repetition, but then again, there is such a thing as over-saturation. I can't say one way or the other, so I'll reserve my own judgment for when I buy the game. I will say that I enjoyed the demo very much though.

In any case, most of the video spent so much time harping on the bad. It seems as if he was trying to defend why it was given the score they gave it, as opposed to simply touching on it and delving into other aspects. Oh well, you can't please them all. It seems fishy because 7.5 is not a bad score by any stretch of the imagination. Heck, just check out their guidelines.

I think it's just controversy to generate hits to be honest. If that is the case, it's working. There's nearly 800 comments form this website alone between just two articles about this game...it's most definitely working.

Maybe they genuinely didn't like the game, but it sounded like reasons were trying to be found why it wasn't a killer app. Sorry, but "It just can't find it's identity" doesn't cut it for me. Then again, that's why I come to my own conclusions, as journalism just isn't journalism when an industry such as video games gets as big as it has. Not everyone is sure to like this game, but these reasons seemed as if they were fishing for issues as opposed to genuinely experiencing them. Just my opinion, don't kill me, trolls.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Quiet, Fignuts!

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Tell me...how ELSE do you keep a platformer interesting without MULTIPLE GAME MECHANICS!!!??? Insomniac did what needed to be done! They're doing something that no one else is doing right now and they're REALLY GOOD at it!!!

[Genki]

Among all of the games we've seen come and go that were hammered with complaints of being too repetitive, getting stale, not enough variation, etc. We've all of a sudden been given a title with too much? At the very least, you'd think it would be a breath of fresh air of sorts, or an "A for effort" sort of thing.

Ah well, can't please everybody.

[Prismo_Fillusion]

I don't see the big deal about this.
Why do people care how some random guy reviewed an obviously awesome game? This is what metacritic is for.

[arika]

gamespot officially ps3 hater club! they have lost all their credibility as a game review site. never again would i visit their site. never....

[MadMax]

If a system doesnt have anything to show then thats the way it just is, great review. Right on the money! You kids better start putting your PS3s UP ON EBAY before the price drops again, which will be coming real soon by the looks of it. Comon Sony, another price drop so i can keep laughing at all the idiots that went out and bought a PS3

[Jinxstar]

I can't wait to see GS's review of Drakes. If they knock that game too.... They will lose a lot of fans on both sides for sure.

[mirroredderorrim]

Gamespot fails. I don't even have to start about why or how they do. They just do. (well before the Xbox was even thought of)

[Daishi]

as long as Drake gets the same score as Just Cause then it gets the score it deserves...

[DJ]

I can confidently say that this is the first PS3 game that deserves a 10/10. The gameplay is extremely varied, the graphics are to die for, the story is surprisingly witty and engaging (and even manages to be told outside of cutscenes), and the weapon upgrade system is ridiculously addictive.

Can't wait to see what Insomniac pulls off with Resistance 2!

[mirroredderorrim]

Don't say that. Gamespot might give it a -1900087.5 for having too many people in multiplayer.

[arika]

to all gamers out there wether you are ps3, xbox or wii lover it just wont matter if review sites like gamespot (which has lost their integrity to review games by the way) can dictate to us the games that we like or dislike by stating their very clear and very biased review. just take a look at ratchet and clank that is almost one of the first games that shows how powerful the ps3 is, and what do they do because they taught that all gamers are dumb enough to believe or follow them, they tried to put it down but we know better. because most people have tested this game themselves that is why having demos is important so that we dont have to listen to morons from gamespot!

[MadMax]

Comedy, you say followers but i bet you stood in line launch day for a PS3. You sound like a follower that didnt know any bettter and bought into all the Sony hype for 1 lousy game! haha

[MadMax]

lol, comedy. You PS3 kids attack this guy because he gave yet another crappy PS3 game an ok score, so you attack the fact that he is fat? lol, what a crack up pretty funny I have to admit, but comon i mean is that how desperate the sony f@gboys are becoming? Who gives a sh@t, sell your overpriced machine and get a 360 or Wii or something with some games for gods sakes already!

[arika]

ok i think somebody here is very jealous. hey madmax you know what can cure your jealousy buy a ps3 gaybot and relieve yourself of all the anger and pain of not being able to play ratchet and clank and by the way i just don't own a ps3 i also own ds lite, psp slim, ps2 and wii so don't give me that fanboy approach. i just want people to enjoy playing quality games and quality consoles not like yours it must be in the repair shop again. well my condolences my friend. you can always go to your friends house and borrow or better yet go find a job so you can have money to buy yourself a ps3. peace out dudes! hey by the way no crying crybaby!!!

[heavyarms]

after watching this review honestly that games sux. this is not my type of game. This is a kids game so if you're like 8 years old enjoy. In all seriousness, dont give me that bs about wow this game is awesome, only thing is it looks nice, but the gameplay just suxs. But i will buy kz2 and msg4. This game gets a 6/10 from me. If i was 10 i give it a 9/10. lol

[DaEnforcer]

Are you mad your console have just crapped out or why are you so full of hate? haha

[MadMax]

My console is running just fine. They dont call me MadMax for nothing!

[nix]

Gameplay: most addictive but too much of variety(?).
Graphics: mix of cartoon and pixar.

Conclusion: I like shooting around so 7.5. Haw Haw.

Freaking loser!

[frank jaeger]

they gave him a nice big meal b4 they decided to send him to b attacked by every last ps3 fanboi on earth lol *after the review* AHHhH! there after me lol

the score is too low , 7.5 , seriosuly maybe a lil more than that but not 9.5+

nuff saidz

[gamesR4fun]

Probably cant bring his fanboy self to play the ps3 cause he'll know what a crap box he got...

[whateva]

Whoa this game score is driving People crazy.

[Bathyj]

Id ont wants more pathetic.

Him trying to justify that score after he admits its a great game, or the Xbots trying to justify him when they've never played the games.

Probably the Bots are more pathetic, but only cos they've had more practice.

[mirroredderorrim]

Don't get so bent out of shape. Gamespot is known for being pro-Xbox.
Why should any of you give the slightest "F" what they think? Buy it, game on and forget what the rest of the world cares about. R&C for PS3 to me is 9.5. LOVIN THIS GAAMMMEEEEE!

[Trebius]

Considering the praise Aaron was giving the game basically throughout the whole interview, you feel as thought the game will be getting at least a 9, then you see that 7.5 and wonder...is that really necessary?

Any Xbox and Ps fan can look down the list of all the PS3 games rated better than Ratchet and know that it was a mistake letting this person review this game.

And Icewake, you obviously chimed in only to stress the fact that it's a terrible game and this and that, but you most definitely do not own it, and have no frame of reference to grace us with an opinion on the game.

Ridiculous to drop points because of too many extra functions...that man is simple minded and should be fired or just asked to judge games that are simple like sports games.

I'm not a ps3 fanboy, but I love the ratchet and clank franchise, and it has never failed me before. I suggest everyone just forget this review even happened and enjoy the game.

[brothersimon]

this score is right, should be lower. game sucks... dont see whats fun about it.

[skinzfan]

I think that he missed the whole point. The game is call Tools Of Destruction. Hence all the tools.

[Grim Visage]

now you sony turds know how i felt when blue dragon got a low score, but oh wait, now that r&c got a low score life must be unfair. didn't stop you trolls from talking smack about blue dragon, so do you sony tards just come with double standards or do you upgrade your firmware for that? here is some advice, get over it you crybabies!

[techie]

Slightly Different. Blue Dragon review average 77%
Ratchet review average 90%

Gamespot are out from leftfeild...and the review is poorly written.

[Leg-End]

+2 on the N4G-Loser-List!
-brother simon
-grim visage

looks like u'll be joining nasim and the mart

[Leg-End]

cos hes an xbot - and i dont likefanboys, i have yet to figure out how you can be a "fan" of a piece of plastic... a band-yes....a tv show-yes...a games console-NO. just no.

[OutLaw]

He complained about too much content but the game controls well and graphics are beautiful. Yeah I could see how this game should get a 7.5

I have Ratchet & Clank and it is one of the best games for this type of gaming.

This guy is just a moron.

[Grim Visage]

hey leg-end, if you bothered to read my comment you would understand that when blue dragon got a 6.0 from gamespot, all the sony droids were talking smack about how much it sucks and all this and that. then r&c gets a 7.5, now they cry foul, i have blue dragon and i say it is a really good game, but it is only my opinion. so like i said, go get a tampoon and take some midal and wait until that time of the month is over for you leg-end, because you are the fanboy, not me.

[Leg-End]

thats bull. I'm not a fanboy. Why? BECAUSE I HAVE A LIFE!!!
I know the sony droids were talkin sh1t about blue dragon but its pointless accusing me of being a "sony turd" (lol kinda funny tho i admit) and a "crybabie"

[ta1snake]

Too bad, Gamespot was one of my favorite game new site.

[ta1snake]

BTW, you can just download a great HD video review at Gametrailers and it's free not like Gamespot

[Coke-a-Cola]

One Bad Score for a game like this ,from a Well respected Review site
like Gamespot Will Turn away Thousands of Sales. .....thousands !!!
In turn slowing the progress of a very fine system. PS3.

I can't believe I am writing this next Line but,
This Score looks deliberately placed to Sabotage this console.

[Daishi]

I agree it wont help but I doubt people are going to sell their PS3's because of one score. People who actually visit gaming sites for reviews rarely go with just one opinion since there are so many out there. The average person is going to ask the person selling them the game what they think about it and if they have a PS3 this is going to be the first game mentioned.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I mean hell Sony has already asked for one rereview this year, why not b!tch and complain for another (even though it didn't work for Lair) Sony and it's droids are as bad as the Shadowrun devs b!tching and crying about every detail of why the games just isn't all that good. Rent the f**king game and decide for yourselves, here go to http://www.gamefly.com rent the game and decide from there.

[mirroredderorrim]

Not true. For what one loses another gains. If what you say IS TRUE then the same people they lose will just migrate to another site.

However I think they'll just suck it up in the end. I've always gone to IGN and am an Insider there as well. I have no use for Gamespots forums.

[DFresh]

I don't really trust Gamespot and it's reviews.
besides what he was showing was a demo not the actual game so you can't possibly rate it at the way he did.
It's really only this guy who gave it a low score which is dumb because it deserves a 10.
Also it's not as easy as it looks and as you play you also unlock harder difficulty settings.

[zsscommand]

Sounds to me like Gamespot is having an identity crisis.

[Leg-End]

i say BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KINGDRAMA]

they usuallt describe it along the same lines too:10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10 /10/10/10/10/10/10/9.5/10/10/10 /10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10/10. ...........funny how consumers disagree with gamespot completely

[teto83]

I don`t understand why a 7.5.The game is awesome and lots fun.

[kvh22000]

been able to get on vgchartz website for two days what is the problem?

[RAM MAGNUMS]

WoW!!! Nobody can trust Gamespot anymore they are a Worse site than this one for the truth about video games. That Guy is a Liar and really needs to be fired and Gamespot need to offer some kind of explanation or face this Boycott that Im callin for. Im A Xbox 360 Fanboy of the highest degree. I was lookin forward to the negative feedback about the dam kids games but C'mon that review was like some of the comments I read here: Ignorant. He made No Cents. Honestly Rachet and Clank Tried to beat every single platformer there ever was by adding everything to it and be the king of platforming and that gets points taken away from it because its a very good game? Go to hell gamespot! My name is RAM MAGNUMS And This Message Has Been Aprooved. Nice Try Gamespot Now Die! ACHEIVEMENT UNLOCKED 50pts Makin a reviewer beg for some M$ money and embarrasing himself and his company

[Grim Visage]

alright leg-end, so your not a fanboy, but neither am i, so i am nothing like nasim and the others. i was just stating my opinion when it came to blue dragon and r&c. although i have never played any r&c, i am going neutral towards it since i have never played it. but like i said, when blue dragon got its scores, the army of droids came in attacking in full force, and now that r&c got a low score, they are being hypocrites, they like to dish it out, but can't take it when it comes back to haunt them, hence the low score for r&c and why they can't handle it, they say that gamespot was paid by M$ or anyone that doesn't like ps3. i could say the same thing for blue dragon, like square paid gamespot to give it a low score so nobody would buy it, well, i know that review is bull, so i don't tend to agree with them all the time either. anyways, good day my friend

[RAM MAGNUMS]

But Dont make it that obvious, What a TOOL! Maybe motorstorm should have gotten a perfect ten! HE should review tetris. " Too many shapes" to be totally fun but still a very good game. 7.5 I like to be hard on them because I get attention for it. If I would have done that review I would have just said R & Clank Sux dont buy it rent it 7.5 Why because it sux thats why now leave me alone I got some call of duty to play watch out germans and teamkillers! Wow! Everybody has their Faves right? What a Slob! I cannot believe he gets Paid for it. Screw sony and screw Gamespot

[The Cloud Theory]

You first start out saying Sony sucks and then you go on to say screw Gamespot, I bet u dont even know what ur talking about. Your supposed to look at and read the news and then comment based upon the side you choose...not just comment for attention.

[MyNameIsNotRick]

and that was pathetic.

[MvC Xtrm]

Lets have some REAL fun with a 360...

[HondaSIRowner]

This is only GS and they will try so hard to bash and destroy Sony! GS reviews don't matter anymore. I'm picking this AAA title up soon.

[MvC Xtrm]

Hahaha

[The Swordsman]

I'm guessing that he is the smarter of the two of you then.

[pornflakes]

This game is so nice looking. But of course the 360 could also handle this easily.

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

Majority of MS fan boys own Game spot!AKA paid subscribers DooH!!!!
They obviously save their money instead of buying a next gen innovative PS3 and got a cheap poorly designed non multimedia mid range PC aka XBOX 360 and spent their savings on Gamespot Subscriptions and paying for online serivices and proprietary Hard drives and Addons HD-DVD players LOL

[Nightwing12]

Instead of ranting, support the game and make the sales speak for itself.

[HondaSIRowner]

^^^^Viva Pinata. by MS corporation. LMAO

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

So it seems Gamespot will lose all 10,000 PS3 supporters but gain everyone else.

[MRMagoo123]

Yeh itll be left with all the inbreds and retards of the world

[gamesR4fun]

and it rocks
