    yup 6.3 it is. gamespot gave it a 5.0. not looking good for this one. too bad. it could have been a good one.

    from IGN

    Presentation
    The rapping, the FMV, and the music may be enough to turn you away. I like the dancing letters though... 4.0
    Graphics
    Between the sharp textures, stereotypical character models, and nasty draw-in, wait... I'm confused. 7.0
    Sound
    I officially annouce the creation of a new genre of music call TJ&E which is a blend of hip-hop, soul, and annoying child voices. 5.0
    Gameplay
    It's like grating a block of cheese the size of New York. 5.0
    Lasting Appeal
    If you were to hypothetically enjoy this game, then there are random levels, downloadable content, three charcters, and a multi-player mode. 7.0
    OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 6.3

    yea...tru.
    but unfortunatley with so many good games comming out.
    if it gets bad reviews across the board...
    it probably aint gonna be worth your time or money picking the so mentioned title up.

    yea..the one thats spelt wrong?
    miss spellign in posts is understandable...but you should try and get your sig right.

    and anyways...i agree that reviews aren't completley reliable...but unfortunatley i don't have the time nor money to try every single game out. so if it gets bad reviews across the board...chances are i won't be picking it up.

    They slammed it pretty hard. The problem with most reviewers is they probably never enjoyed the style of the first two games. They were expecting some deep game, and c'mon, it's TJ &E for Pete's sake ! One even complained that it was too random, which was one of the CORE elements of the game ! It's part of the design.

    To me, it sounds like the old TJ&E games, so I'm picking it up.

    I don't know, both IGN and Gamespot's reviews are just too out of touch with reality. I prefer the ones at Adrenalinevault (www.avault.com) . They don't have any biases for or against, they just tell you what's good, what's bad, and how much they enjoyed/hated the game.

    well they must have LOVED Madden 5 years ago cause it hasnt changed much since then, hardly at all since last year, and that gets a 9 on every site and magazine... what idiots

    6.3? It still could be a good game.
