Eurogamer gives the game a decent 8/10

The equally esteemed BioGamer Girl gives it a 9.7.

that's the second time I've seen her reviews pop up on here, first off where the hell is she getting her games, and secondly how can anyone take her seriously from such an amateur looking site???

Looks better than Kotaku, that's for sure.

Yeah the default photoshop filters on the three ugly women in the banner is amazing

9.7? so this is one of the greatest games this generation then, or will be when the gen ends pfft.

We'll see when mine turns up on friday but i'm expecting it to be an ok game that we will have forgotten about in 2 months

they gave the IOS version of Skylanders trap team a ten so THATS the best game of this generation, still 0.3 off perfection is pretty good,

If you go to the site check out the beauty pageant stuff it had me in stiches.

ahh they must be using the 9.5 to 10 marking system then, makes sense. Better than the 7-10 the rest use.

edit: oh my just been to the pageant page, we should enter.

Will wait and see what you guys make of this as the demo at EGX was awful, I mean truly awful.

[Family Fry]

Was the demo single player or chaos mode?
Chaos mode being the defence/horde mode where you can place turrets.

Yup it was Chaos mode, as I've learnt today. Biggest issue was gunplay/traversal it didn't feel good, plus I'm hearing the game has 1 difficulty with zero challenge (GT Review).

If the consensus here is that it's fun, funny and worth a bash then I'll bite, but right now it's not rubbing up the wrong way...

GTAV is exceptionally easy. I don't think these games are designed for a real challenge.

Perhaps, but it was the icing on an otherwise not to appetising cake. Look forward to impressions though!

Hmmm, I wanted to like this. It looks fun and arcadey and colorful, like my beloved Sega games of old.

I checked out some gameplay videos on YouTube... and it's dripping with cowabunga bro-'tude. Like seriously, you can almost smell the Axe body spray eminating from your screen just from looking at it.

Wow wow wow, just had time to play 30 mins in my lunch time, it's fantastic, I'm blown away by it so far, hopefully post some more after 4 today when I can sit down for a couple of hours but first impressions are strong.
