What's wrong with that score? Would not seem wildly inappropriate to me.

I usually don't care about reviews that much but this will determine if I get it tomorrow or a few months down the line.

I'm kind of indifferent toward it (as I haven't played the others so I feel no connection) but if the reviews are glowing I may bite.

I never understood the 8/10 freakout on GAF. 8/10 is a good score. It's probably higher than U3 deserved too!

Max, dearest of all my friends, you've got a few issues. I think that much is obvious. You're still a game, however, that I'd recommend all my friends play. You're the closest my console has come to making me feel like an action hero, and for that I'd almost certainly buy you yet another drink…
