Got my ear to the speaker.

From one of my most anticipated gaming moments in a long time. My excitement hasn’t been this high since Halo 3’s launch. Waking up this morning, I was greeted to two video reviews from Gametraliers.com and 1up.com. One of the recurring knocks I’m seeing associated with the game is the cutscenes. 1up stated that the first half of the game is 80% gameplay 20% cutscene, but the later half becomes increasingly more cinematic. To the point where it almost is detrimental to the game. I can see that as a valid criticism. Especially for some of the people who may be new to the series. This doesn’t sound like it will bother me that much, mostly because that’s one of the things that draws me to the series. I’ll have to wait until I get the game in my hands to see what other problems exist outside of what the reviewers stated. As soon as I get some substantial time in, I’ll be back to drop some quick impressions.
