And here is their good and bad if you guys want a brief summery:
The Good: Great graphics and sound show off some of what the PlayStation 3 can do; four considerably different playable characters plus multiple unique weapons; some exciting boss battles and other impressive set pieces.
The Bad: Level design is often dull, and sometimes frustrating and confusing; repetitive hack-and-slash combat rarely demands much skill or finesse; some noticeable cut corners throughout the story make the game feel rushed.

IGN gave the game a 6.

I've been thinking the same thing for years now.
Pretty graphics can't make a crap game fun.

Ditto both of these comments.
I am thankful that Nintendo is launching with Zelda which should get a 9.0-10.0 score from most places. A truly must have title.
But I am worried about the Wiis other exclusives.
I see Excite Truck as potentially only getting a 6.0
But Rayman and Super Monkey Ball should both get around an 8.0 or better.
Though the real question is what about Red Steel, what will it get?
Also, when will reviews come out.
Hopefully Gamespot and IGN can have third party reviews out on Friday before launch.

Trust your instincts.
History shows that hype and ignorance readily overshadow internet reviews.

Excite Truck: 7.0-7.5 (many say it is tons of fun so I can't see it getting a 6)
Zelda: 9.5-10
Rayman: 7.0-7.5
Red Steel: 7.5-8.0
Madden: 8.0-8.5
Far Cry: 6.0-6.5
Call of Duty 3: 7.5-8.0
That is all I'm going to guess on.

How could they have not said that instead? Or is that too easy?

Ok if your give Call of Duty and Red Steel a 7.5-8 I believe that Rayman belongs in that category at the very least if not 8-8.5 w/ Super Monkey ball.

I'm on the fence about Rayman, I just have a feeling there could be alot of complaints about the game having little depth because it is a collection of mini-games.

Lol I'm doing the the exact opposite, I'm getting Rayman but mainly because multiplayer could be alot of fun.

Umm...this is getting derailed though. How about that sucky Genji 2? Not a huge surprise, I always felt it was going to be a second-string type game because it looked like a mindless brawler at E3.
