He means the US OXM, and yeah they gave it a 7.0
But honestly, I don't care if the game got 2's in the review department.
I've played the crap out of that demo, I love it, and I'm buying it irregardles of what any reviewer says.
That's why I love me some demos on marketplace, you can try them out and judge them for yourself.
To hell with reviews ;)
Damn i cant wait to get this game and with the great reviews it sure will be great its just a shame there couldn't be non Coop Multi player were one person takes the role as a cop the other as a villain but they even it out so it would be a fair fight.
ok, now check this score out which may seem a bit out of place compared to the ones posted above...
Maybe the mags with the quite high revievs were a bit "influenced" by some means (MS Lawyer Squad knocking on the door of the chief editor' office) when making up the score ;)
What confuses me is that the scores from the 2 official XBOX mags are differing from each other so much..., 9 score & 7 score °.-O
We are talking here of two different mags, aren't we???
- Official XBOX Magazine
- Official XBOX 360 MAgazine
???
Oh well, another reason why not to fully rely on mag reviews when deciding over a game purchase...checking up forums for opinions should be a better alternative...

Im surprised. I honestly didnt see this game getting top scores but looks like i was wrong. Glad the 360 has another quality game.

I have seen a few gameplay vids and what i liked most was the way that any vehicle you get into changes and gets "cooler". It reminds me of a cartoon i used to watch(not transformers). *goes nostalgic and thinks of the good ol' days* :lol:

i dont think thats in demo. well i only played about 3 hours on it.
Certainly is in the demo, as you skill up in the car driving skill it changes the look of your agency car. Doesn't work for non-agency vehicles though. As you get out of the car it morphs back to its original shape. Very cool

Are there different types of agency vehicle because in the gameplay vid he got into a big rig and it changed aswell.
Yes, there are three to chose from. One is the sports car, the second the SUV and the third the truck. Sports car goes under obstacles, SUV over, and the truck ... well through them :D
My personal preference is the SUV, but you can go back and change at any time.

The demo is very cool and IMO this is another top top game, 360 ownership just goes from strength to strength.
Good work! :cool:

From what i have seen the sports car looks the best. When it transforms it looks like the batmobile from the 1st batman movie. nice!!
oh yeah, the sports car looks great when you get to four stars as it really stretches and obtains a pair of miniguns :) The transformations are phased, so each star of experience gives you a bit more transformation.
I just like the driving over absolutely everything in the SUV lol

Yes there is. Tell your cousin to download the demo (if he has an XBL account set up).
i loved the demo. no lag at all. i like sandbox games. this is like a sandbox game but with super powers
No lag at all? Obviously, you haven't played XBL co-op.
I have. No lag at all for me. At the end of the day though lag can be induced through a wide range of factors, the game being the least likely of them to be honest.

Gaming magazines should really all move to a ten point scale IMO.

I was reading a thread about this demo at another site and this guy's only post was this beautiful one liner:
"I just kicked a truck across the street!"
:lol:
