[IGN] Halo 4 scores a 9.8/10

Thread Starter 


"After soaking in the new game, I am beyond thrilled to be so in love with Halo again, more than I’ve been since Halo 2. Halo 4 is a masterstroke everyone can and should celebrate, and its two guaranteed sequels instantly make the next-generation Xbox a must-own system, with Halo 5 its most anticipated title. Halo has been rebuilt. It has been redefined. And it has been reinvigorated. The Xbox’s original king has returned to his rightful place on the throne."

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/01/halo-4-review

Here is an accumulated amount of reviews

Destructoid - 10
MondoXbox - 10
NZGamer - 10
Joystiq - 5/5 Stars
IGN - 9.8
Polygon- 9.5
OXM - 9.5
Game Informer - 9.3
Gamespot - 9
Halo Council - 9
Eurogamer Italy - 9
MMGN.com - 9
Gamer.No - 9
GamesBeat - 9
G4TV - 4.5/5 Stars
Kotaku - Play This Game
Penny Arcade - "This isnt Bungies Halo anymore its better"

I think this will win Game of The Year

I find it somewhat ridiculous they even mentioned halo 5. This is a halo 4 review doh.gif
I'm considering dusting off the old xbox for halo 4, will wait for some more reviews though. IGN isn't exactly a reliable review site.

Even though it's IGN I'm not really going to doubt the score. It's pretty much expected.

A big budget game with a huge campaigning budget and millions of fans around the world? When have games like this NOT gotten ridiculously high scores? COD, GTA, Halo, Mario, Zelda, Uncharted, Battlefields. These games have to be seriously bad to not get over inflated scores.

Still though, Looks like 343 didn't break Halo which is great news for halo fans and i hope the enjoy their game. I'll pick up the next generation of consoles and hopefully halo 5 is ready by then.

H4 got a 10/10 from Destructoid.
It is good they are diffientrating themselves from Bungieès games in multiplayer but still a bit sad they are conforming to modern standards with sprint, "Ordinance" and loadouts thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

If it was on PC, not a single complaint would come from these forums. I look forward to the next few days of entertainment you PC elitists will bring me.
