Unlike OXM to dock all those points over those kinds of complaints, a 6.5 is pretty much a broken game

Well, at least it wasn't fake, like everyone thought it would be. Sounds like they really hated it.

That review was painfully short nor did they have enough reasons to justify giving it a 6.5.

Mathematically, 6.5 is still above average.

So guess Dead Space is an above average game.

The magazine version usually offers a more in-depth review."

Of course if Microsoft were publishing it you'd be looking at a much higher score... ;) Just saying.

I really don't get what they were expecting this game to be.  Are you supposed to just have a 12 hour linear run through a spaceship too big for its own good or what?  I mean seriously, you're going to end up backtracking and finding stuff at least a little bit in a game like this.  From reading the review, I'm starting to think they got this confused with Too Human.

The only problems they seem to outline is the backtracking, and having to go through crates all the time. I can't say that this game deserves a 6.5 just based on that.
