Just look on and be amazed this review shows some of the best footage i've seen from any site out there with the exception of this website here.

They gave it a 9.9!

Also worth mentioning graw for xbox got 5.9 lol they must've really thought the game was crap after messing with the 360 version they just took that thing apart (gamespot)

GTTV seriously went overboard with that score. I'd give the game a 9.0 at the most. It's a good game, but 9.9 is way too much. Saying that, i think i will go play some GR:AW in about 30 mins.

GRAW on the XBox is just pitiful, it doesn't even match GR2 in terms of visuals.

When I played GRAW, at the start of one of the missions Mitchell had no head for about 10 seconds. No matter how fun a game is, if the main character doesn't have a head for 10 seconds it does not deserve 9.9.

Hahaha, really? I've never had that, just a Bradley crew that refused to go anywhere and then I realised a little crate was in the way! :)

Same, when my charater dies, his head turns so he can see his own ass. Quite scary i musty say. Glitchy as hell too.

Still a wonderful game with THEEEEEE BEST explosions i have ever seen in any game (or in real life)

ive not experienced that. and half way through the game,no glitches whatsoever, and online is simply sublime.

and grawf does indeed deserve the scores it is getting, like the review on gttv said the "glitches" and "anomalys" dont distract from the game play, this game pure and simply rocks.

The thing is, I don't think the game suffers from the bugs, but I'd argue that bugs should knock off points. The game has an overall wobbly and twitchy feel to it reminicent of Killzone (yeah I said it) where everything also looked quite right most of the time, but you always felt like right outside of the exact situation you're in, the graphics could go completely nutcake.

In GRAW when you peak around corners there's always some big chunk of scenery that pops up; always. Of course it's because of the streaming nature of the game, but it also hurts the solidity of the graphics and the immersion. It's not a deal-breaker, I'm still having a lot of fun with it, but I'd say this is on par with PDZ, graphical glitches-wise, only that took much more heat because a lot of people didn't like how it looked in the first place.

Oh well, here I am, almost writing it all again. I've got my views neatly summed up in here; http://www.xboxyde.com/forum_8_9319_1_en.html

Glitch: Cruicifix (done that today)

Glitch: went to heal one of my guys was moving while i was doing it. The guy wasn't heal i was walking in slow motion AND i couldn't fire a shot.

This game is far from perfect.
Darn good singleplayer though (even though i didnt pay attention to the story)

Myro, the Glitch Raider…

Lol, good job in finding all these glitches. I guess Ubisoft’s QA got a little sloppy.

Myro: I think it's physically impossible to pay attention to the story, the briefings are like subliminal messages that sort of float past your head - except they son't subliminally stick.

I've really tried, but I find it really, really difficult to make sense of most of the Splinter Cell games aswell. In Chaos Theory I get the headlines, in Pandora tomorrow I understand that it's a pissed of cuban guy with a virus and a phonecall he makes or doesn't make. In Splinter Cell... well there are awful dogs at the end that I quite frankly take pleasure in murdering.

I'm glad I don't play games searching for graphical glitches. You really notice them a lot less when you just play the games for fun.

That's the thing people, i wasn't looking for glitches, they found me!

I was just trying to play throught the amazing snigleplayer when i took a dive to the floor (near a wall) when suddenly i try to crawl forward and the guy starts to levitate in the "Jesus pose".

Those of you having repeated problems with glitches, you might want to either make sure your 360 is properly ventilated, or trade your console for your buddy's for a week to see if you still have the same issues, and if he/she is now instead. These are some really bizarre things you are talking about here, none of which I have ever noticed (and I've played a lot of GRAW). Ultimately you might consider taking your 360 back for a new one - it might be on the verge of a meltdown.

I am such a retard!

No wonder GTTV gave it 9.9. The GTTV review is on the marketplace (been there a few days). They put the trailer on the MP so people see it. People then think "hey lets check out this Gametrailers site" then they post a 9.9 review on the gametrailers site for all to see.

In short M$ pad them to say 9.9. Have they no soul???

I think that the assumption that Microsoft paid them is jumping to conclusions, just a little bit. ;)

I don't think that what is on the market place is a review. It's an old preview from a few months ago. You should download it and watch it, THEN talk about how they've been paid off.
