Seriously, this reviewer needs to start looking for a different career. Problems he has with the game:
- “Poor level design”, without justification as to why
- Complaining about the B button being context-sensitive; look at MGS4 and Peace Walker!
- 2:13, he stands there and shoots at a giant Akrid, just asking to get swiped
- Controls being “clunky”, but they’re the same as Lost Planet 1! (BTW, IGN gave that 8.0+)
If this is the level of reviews that are out there right now, then I’m not interested in reading them anymore. I’ll play my games, **** you guys.
Yeah, those complaints are pretty out there. The only one that seems like it might possibly be valid is the level design. But I doubt it. The score really doesn’t seem to fit with such minor issues.
Not only that, Machinima has given the game 8/10:

Furthermore, Famitsu 360 apparently has the game at 37/40 (10/9/9/9). I wonder if it’s that big Western reviewers are starting to hate Japanese games in general…?
