You should note that you can add the number damage on screen. It really helps to show Crit hits on the mobs.

[Mike Boccher]

does it seem biased in your opinion? compared to other reviews I read of it, the game is getting about a 7, with mine is about a 9.5. i dont' know what Im missing unless they are takingmore out of it due to server lag

Could not follow link to your review...

[Soulvak]

In my opinion you've been more fair than some of the reviews I've read. Granted they wrote them within the first three days when a fair few things needed fixed

It's your opinion, so it's hard to argue with that. But since you are asking, I'll give you my opinion of your opinion.

I too enjoy the game but I think you are skewing too high. The graphics are 95%? In my opinion the graphics are slightly worse than average for a 360 game. Halo, Gears, Skyrim, all look better. Still it's common for MMO type games to have lesser quality graphics. It's still enjoyable to watch. There are some technical issues: screen tearing, pop-in, and framerate issues. Nothing horrible. But I can't help but compare it to Rage, another game where you run around on an ATV in a post apocalyptic environment.

Gameplay is a broad category so I don't really have any complaints about what you wrote. However there are some problems with the UI, the inventory management for example. The chat system isn't great either. Again nothing horrible, but when you give a game a 99% gameplay score you'd think it's the best ever.

Have you not had any of the bugs and server crashes on the 360? You might want to at least mention that some have. I've had the game 5 days and the server has gone down at least twice for at least 30 minutes, been booted of several other times. I've entered a glitched co-op missing that couldn't be completed, and the one time I tried shadow war I was stuck at the respawn screen for 20 minutes. When I got out my loadout screen was broken and I couldn't switch weapons.

Despite this I'm having fun overall. I won't write a review however for at least another week. Maybe after the tv show launches and I see what the next episode content is.
