Why is it, that everyone happens to be so worried about the reviews? I personally believe that game shouldn't be based around reviews because I have discovered that some of the most "shitty reviewed" games happen to be the best, while other reviews score the even shittier fanboy games. Seriously, if all they are bitching about is the stealth segments of the game, just maybe that the fact is, is that they are horrible at stealth gameplay elements to begin with. Personally, from all my years of gaming: Absolutely do not let reviews stun you away from a game that you might enjoy. I read a review once that Zone of the Enders was horrible, but when I played it (it was out for awhile) I absolutely loved it. No, I didn't buy it for the MGS2 demo, because I already had MGS2. Personally, in my belief, most of these reviewist don't even bother to understand the game fully, they rush through it, only picking up on the small flaws here and there that could stun the game overall. I remember when people used to say that most of the move set in LoS1 was useless, but when you actually sit down and begin to understand the game, you clearly will see that these people are morons and really have no business being paid to play video games to begin with.
Remember, these are idiots who are playing on the Easy setting, expecting to get their hands held because they are so spoiled by easy-win games that require no strategy or critical thinking. Their objective is to find every thing that is wrong with the game, instead of highlighting it's grand mechanics. An example of this, is calling LoS a God of War clone, when the games are in fact entirely the two games have different game play mechanics. In God of War, all you had to do was use the same combo over and over again (an "I win button") while in LoS, you are supplied with a Focus Combat system that punishes you when you use the same combo too many times, and provides Knock Down/Back mechnics, along with AoE and CC. No real strategy there folks, yep, just another clone.
I really wouldn't even bother listening to reviews - I will either research the via videos (game play only) and or buy the game myself to make a final judgement on if I like the game or not and personally, I will not make a final judgement of the game until I have actually beat the game, not just after playing 3-4 hours of it.
