IGN AU says this game is an 8 out 10
IGN UK says this game is an 6 out 10
what the hell? one side of IGN say this game is good and the other says it's bad

different reviewers have differing opinions.

Different reviewers?

" different reviewers have differing opinions. "

" Different reviewers? "

well my problem is that IGN say this game is good or bad it's not helpful 

Are you serious? It's the same as looking at Jeff's review of game X and then looking to some Japanese person's review of game X. 
 
2 people. 2 opinions. 2 scores.

yeah but they are both IGN so I would think that most of IGN would agree on a review before put it up "

This is pretty much the beginning and ending of this. Review scores are reflection of the single reviewers opinion of the game; publications aren't hive-minds that uniformly agree across the board.  This is why EGM used to have three review scores, so you got as many different perspectives as the printed page would allow.

IGN AU gave it 8.2 
IGN UK gave it a 6.8 
IGN US gave it 7.5 
 
Seems to average out to a solid game to me

plus the UK hate the French 
 
p.s I'm just shit stirring you guys, I agree with everyone else, different reviewers, different opinions

7.6 from gametrailers.
 
Not bad.  Too many references to Assassins Creed and Red Faction in their review tho imo but they seemed pretty forgiving of the controls.  Don't think it would bother me.  They showed some new footage that looked really awesome of you escaping out of an exploding Zeppelin.

Australia is just excited that they finally got a game. Of course they're gonna give it a better score.

I personally find it quite interesting to read reviews from the various segments of IGN. It gives you an idea of the differing tastes of European and Australian gamers and movie viewers. I remember when The Watchmen came out that the reviews were all over the place in a similar way. Strangely enough the US review tends to land somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. While those three scores range over a wide area of good they are still all positive. I'm going to be picking the game up simply because I like the concept and setting and I've always had a soft spot for Pandemic since the first Mercenaries.

" plus the UK hate the French   p.s I'm just shit stirring you guys, I agree with everyone else, different reviewers, different opinions "

Since when was a 6/10 bad?! There's a 2 point difference between them. In GB terms it's a 4 star and a 3 star...

Clearly IGN UK has higher standards for games. 

yeah people need to stop shitting their pants when a game they're interested in gets a 6. that's not a bad score, read the words not the numbers and if it reinforces your interest then try it for yourself for christs sake. a 6 still means plenty of people will find it rewarding on a personal level, but it just can't be recommended to well.. people like me. who don't enjoy derivative shooters and pandemic in general.
  
in gamespots eyes 6 means fair, and i even have half an unfair mind to blame them for always over rating things. Giving a bad games a mediocre score when it should have a terrible one. It's why I like Dtoid. The spectrum does not and should not start with 6..and end at 9.

Different reviewers will have different opinions.

Ha! I've seen French Sailors and British Sailors together on a bus going to a brewery in Germany. My god did the British give the French guys hell after some beers. The British guys sat in the back of the bus and sang nasty songs about the French who sat in the front. I was in the US Navy at the time and sat in the middle... laughing my ass off. The Spanish Navy guys laughed too. "

a review is an opinion.  Why can't people get that throught their heads?
 
It was reviewed by two different people who have different opinions.

Watch the quicklook. Then you will quickly see that the 6/10 is the right one.

'It is getting it anyway'? "

The various IGN offices have nothing to do with each other, except San Fransisco and LA of course. They have completely separate editorial staffs.

Britain and Australia are surprisingly not the same country, that's why.

I think he is saying the slang translates back into "it is"   Example:"Tis the season = It's the season = It is the season" "

I think girdz means,  "what the hell are you talking about?  What is it getting?"  Oh, I think he means he himself is getting  the game.  That's my guess. "

Reviews are opinions. 
 
It always bothers me when a person or a game's advertising campaign says "10/10 - IGN." It wasn't reviewed by IGN, it was reviewed by a person who works there. The inside of book flaps or the back of DVD cases don't typically say, "Chicago Sun Times gives Thumbs Up," they say, "Thumbs Up - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times." The games industry and press need to grow up.

Oh, we British are perfectionists, us. Pay us no mind.

" Watch the quicklook. Then you will quickly see that the 6/10 is the right one. "

Wow it's almost like weather a game is good or not is a completely subjective mater and reviews are really a bad way to decide on getting games, one might say you should just get all games you you think sound interesting, play them and form you own opinion instead of having some over paid dick do it for you.

useless topic. different people have different tastes end of story. reviewers are people. It's not like a group of people at IGN sit down and discuss how all of them feel about one game and let one person write the review. play what you want. if you're short on money do more research, rent it, or borrow it to see if its right for you before buying it.

The Australians are happy with any game that's allowed to enter their country. :V

from the quicklook...eh?  One of the few quicklooks recently that I sat and watched the entire 30 minutes because I was entertained.  I'm guessing the game is a solid 7.5 or so.  Which is what IGN US, Gametrailers, and Gamespot gave it. "

" Australia is just excited that they finally got a game. Of course they're gonna give it a better score. "

the publication isn't one entity...different editions of the same thing.

The brits hate the French and Irish, hence the score.  The game looks ok but it seems to play as a cheap GTA knock off, only set during world war 2.  The color change thing is neat and climbing and attracting attention is also great, but together, the game plays kinda clunky.  Yes its a sad story Pandemic went out of business, but you can see why, they were not great at their job.  Not for the kind of money they cost to operate.  They were better suited for crappy ass movie games or ports.  Look at the levitation jump!

Because two different human beings reviewed said game. I don't understand what confuses you, not to be an asshole.
