Ha, yeah, Gamespot is pretty shocking. I understand that some people (like yourself) genuinely believe that InFamous deserves a better score, but really, don't you think that the majority of what is said in this review is true. So, maybe you think they're being a little harsh with a 7....but what would you give it? An 8? It's not as if EDGE have given this game a bad score. We all know their scoring system - 5 is average (as it should be) so a score of 7 suggests a game well worth your time - which InFamous is. At the end of the day, what you think InFamous deserves is comepletely dependent upon how willing you are to overlook the niggling issues that the game as.

As for patches, well, I think that's a mute point. Games have to be marked based upon what it is you receive in the shop. At the end of the day, games should be released in a finished state, and while I'm all for improving games based upon player feedback, delivering clearly unfinished games just to meet a deadline is pretty shocking and something that (sadly) the ability to patch games is making an ever more common occurance.

P.S. I'm sorry if you thought my post was attacking your comment based upon 'fanboyism', but you have to admit, there is a lot of that crap going around - ALOT!!

I can't believe the fan boys are at it again. The strange thing is, a lot of their posts are surprisingly well written, suggesting that they are often written by people old enough to know better. EDGE isn't 360 biased, it just gives its honest oppinion on each game it reviews. If you don't agree with that opinion - really, who cares!? There are plenty of other reviews to look at if you don't like this one. Personally, I really like the game and although I agree with the majority of what is said in the review, I would happily score it an 8 - but honestly, what's 1 mark between friends aye? I don't know about anyone else, but a lot of these posts honestly make me a little depressed to be a gamer.

God bless Edge aye. Seriously though, it's still the best videogame publication around.

Unbelievable......seriously, how can a review, one that explains its score as clearly as this get so much negative feedback? Honestly, it makes me embarrassed to be a gamer. I played the demo, and yes, it's pretty good - but the way some people have attacked this review, you would have thought Edge had been cursing out their mothers! I played the demo, and although extremely solid, nothing about it suggested it was going to push the envelope in any way. Don't get me wrong, I'm still looking forward to the game and will be buying it on day 1, but do I think it's going to push the genre forward like Halo did on Xbox or like Resident Evil 4 did in regards to survival Horror on Gamecube....the answer to that is no. Fallout 3, a winner of numerous game of the year awards got a 7 on this same site and no one had a heart attack over that.....why? Because it's multi-format. COD: World at War got a 6......multi-format, no one cared. Ok, so everyone seems to be getting all worked up about review comparisons.....firstly - Let's Tap.....for God's sake, please don't be as stupid as to compare a review for Let's Tap to Killzone 2. Really, I don't think I should bother explaining why this isn't the best basis for an argument. Secondly - Halo 3 was released well over a year ago for one, it also pushed boundaries in terms of multiplayer and user created content, along with having a fantastic co-op mode and a brilliant single player campaign. Then there is GTA IV. Ok, it isn't my cup of tea, but the game is as much, if not more of a technical marvel than Killzone 2 + it has the combined strength of having one of the greatest videogame scripts of all time and a bag load of extremely solid online options to complimet the epic single player aspect of the title. The fact is, GTA IV got a 10 because it is the best game of its kind. Was it worth a 10, I don't know, but Edge's writing backed up their score with facts (as they always have). The point is, you don't have to agree with them, it's their opinion, based on aspects of the game that can't be put into doubt. Read the review - technically excellent - terrible lack of imagination. It's actually very similar to their review of Fallout 3, only the other way around. Biased, unbalanced reviews? You only need to look at some of the unbelievably one sided, hugely misguided feedback to this review to find perfect examples of just that (psxextreme anyone)? Anyway, how many of you who are actually criticising the review so heartedly have actually played the game in full.
