Gravity Rush (Vita) review thread

So all the big western gaming outlets gave the game mixed reviews. I'm not saying the game wasn't advertised well, but the game wasn't advertised well.

what's the relation between good advertisement with good review scores from big game website? unless we're implying that all game website is selling their review like we often joke about famitsu review.

it's a bit frustrating to see some of the lower review scores, for once we get something unique and it's not like the game is not fun. maybe it's not perfect, but I think the good far outweighs the bad.

Reviews in the west maybe aren't directly purchased, but it's clear that the score inflation big budget games have had isn't simply due to everyone releasing amazing games we'll remember for ages.

I really don't care about reviews because I was going to buy this game even if it scored poorly (which it hasn't), but it's discouraging for sales when a truly great original game comes along and it receives worse reviews than the same games we see every year from the big sites. They're the ones with the largest influence. Heck, someone in the PSABR thread said Kat shouldn't be included in the game because she's only appeared in a single mediocre game. His claim of mediocrity came from IGN giving the game a 7.5.
 
Fantastic game. I have to say, Team Silent really outdid themselves. Probably one of the funniest, most ambitious games I've played in a long, long time. Flying around dat city is just... eyegasm

The late reviews are really weird. I can understand some control issues (the sliding especially) because that's going to be inherent with the whole controlling of gravity but 6/10? That's quite the spread between what I envision a 6/10 being and what GD is. Of course improvements can be made but this doesn't add up to me.
 
Just had a couple of hours with this game and i must say i absolutely adored it, it's so beautiful and it plays great... And 2 more things... 1. Dat musiiiic!!! 2. Dat Aaaaaaart!
