DARN IT!

crap 

hmm was expecting a better game.well no matter didn't plan on getting it anyway.

Jeff - You're FIRED! 
 
p.s. Complain about this comment at your peril!

The questions will always come up.. IS Jeff biased toward this game series?  I haven't seen the video yet, but my gut response to the score is to think along these lines.  From what I can assume from Jeff, he is neutral when it comes to games and gives everyone a fair shot.  But there will always be people out there who will claim that Jeff is being biased. 

 I like the style at least. As a medium games don't approach this kind of thing very often. I suppose its because the technology has yet to plateau.    

Looks pretty darn bad.

@TekZero: I think that Jeff is completely unbiased towards this series, in fact when footage of the new camera flares started showing up he seemed pretty excited about the game, it's just a shame that the series can't seem to nail the gameplay to back up the style of the games.

Doubt it considering there's a Joystiq and Kotaku review with the same exact complains/positives Jeff had

Great review Jeff. Very informative. I might pick this up when its really cheap as I don't really rent games.

Loved the editing in this review (and Jeff's somewhat indirect acknowledgement of the site's obsession with his particular connection with the first game - let's move on indeed). 
 
Shame about the game though - had been looking forward to this one. The visuals/story held so much promise.

Very professional review guys, one of the best.
