That's awesome to know.

Remember that OXM UK gave it a 9.0, Australia gave it an 8.0 (or 8.5, don't remember), and StrengthGamer gave it an 8.5

You destroy Shanghai with the help of bullets and fire extinguishers. You riddle Chinese cops and mobsters with hundreds of rounds, all the while screaming all kinds of profanity. I think they'd love it.

I'm so glad to see this one has had nothing but good marks. I hope they continue this franchise just like the Hitman series.

Not actually a review, but on "Heads-up: What's new this week" from Videogamer you can find this not really entusiastic introduction.

Worth a look

While a huge improvement over the original game, the psychotic duo still haven't quite managed to get their act together. Visually quite brilliant and with some shocking moments, it's worth experiencing, but don't expect it to be topping your games of the year list come December.

I know, I just picked the 360 version because it had more votes.

Yea alot of them did. I actually liked jeffs review, it didn't seem biased or anything, it's just his opinion. Destructoid on the other hand.. Wow that was just a pathetic attempt to get some attention.

I've never liked Destructoid and rarely visit the website. Mainly because all staff are a bunch of stuck-up elitist know-it-alls and their brainless members adopt this attitude because it makes them feel special.

Again, I view reviews as entertainment. I'll make up my own mind after playing the game. Just like I (we all...) did with Dead Men. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.
