GameSpot gives GRAW PC 7.8!

The Good: Campaign is exciting and challenging, even at normal difficulty; hardcore tactical shooting experience; massive, extremely detailed environments; real-time 3d tactical map is useful and flexible; amazing graphics and presentation....
The Bad: ...if your computer has a ton of horsepower; inexcusable bugs and oversights in multiplayer implementation; ai sometimes leaves something to be desired.

Do you agree with the score/review?

Discuss!

Personnaly I loved the demo. I haven't played the full game but I really just couldn't figure out why everyone loathed the demo so much. It's a fun tactical shooter with great graphics.

Great graphics, are you serious ?.... the game is so crap that the fps drops by 20% after adding 2x AA; (its not a next gen game)

yeah the score is alright,

AA? This game doesn't have AA

GRAW for PC is horrid, I don't know how much cash they had to pay GameSpot to give it a 7.8, but I'm sure it was enough to buy a small continent

the system required shouldn't included in any sort of 'down side' comments.

Ya the gfx were retarded. 360 GRAW was so pretty

Id say 7.2-7.4

Yes it should. If the game only runs well on bleeding-edge computers, the average consumer will get below-par performance, which is pretty unacceptable for a mainstream game.

If somebody makes the best game ever, but it runs terribly on anything other than a 3.2GHz/2G RAM/GeForce<whatever> dual-SLI setup, why should it get a perfect score?

 

[B_MAN]

judging by the demo i played for PC, i would agree

 

[Roland Deschain]

Yep, I agree. Played the demo for about 3 minutes (after you came out of the helicoper). First the game didn't look all that great and second it looked rather bad. It's usually one or the other, but if it looks bad and runs bad, then we are talking about a bad port.

 

[DESSTROYER]

the game is pretty when you run on high...but you gotta have like a 512MB video card just to go that high. Ive played the game and i personally love it until you get to that stinking first night mission where you have to go on by yourself is the most fustrating level ever made in a game.

X360 Graw > pc Graw

I don't know why people have such a hard time maxing this game, I run it maxed with full AF on 800x600 and I only have a 256mb card, a gig of RAM, and a 2 GHz processor

yea, but thats at 800x600, an incredibly low res by todays standards. try running at 1024x768

if someone made this 'best game ever' i bet it would have absolutely incredible graphics and anyone who would dare think it would run on average or even high end systems are crazy, so apply this to graw & other recent games with high requirements, minus some exaggeration.

it's just not really a good thing to judge games on, oblivion, graw & other games have high requirements, because they have excellent graphics so it's expected so that being a 'bad point' is horrible.

they can complain all the want, just don't add it as a 'bad point.'

so, add in moore's law & some other things.

I found teh game to be quite klunky and the FOV really was annoying - too small.... Definetly wanted to pick up an xbox controler and play it because thsi game has a horrible case of Consolitis

The problem with this exagurated statement is that there are many games that look and run much better on lower-end hardware. I personally would have written "runs inefficently on PC hardware."

 

[VictimOfScience]

Score should've been lower imho. Hated the demo and would likely hate the full retail version, though I will probably not even try it now. What a large disappointment...

I wonder if it would have been better if it had been made by the people who actually made the 360 version.. This was made by www.GRIN.se, some small p.o.s. company..
I really don't see why a company that is doing ONLY the PC vers entirely independently on an entirely new engine that they themselves made manages to make a PC FPS into a really lame WANNABE console FPS..
It could have been better if Ubisoft or Red Storm had gotten to do the PC vers THEMSELVES imo instead of hiring someone else to do it..

I think that's the general concensus. As an additional note, Ghost Recon 1 was an excelent game on the PC, but since it seems to have been watered down comercailized and passed through too many hands.

I didn't even bother getting the demo of it, i have the 360 version which is all i need as its amazing. That and the fact i came here first to read what most of the Seniors thought of it as i trust their judgement a lot
