game on shelves since 2nd september, still no reviews?

[Moep]

Hey everyone,

considering the game has been on shelves since 2nd september here in Germany and that I'm now on my 2nd playthrough I'm starting to wonder.. If I could get my hands on the game way before the 6th of September simply by walking into a store and buying the game.... why didn't editors do the same? Judging from what some ppl posted here Germany isn't the only country where the game was being sold way ahead of release schedule.

Does anyone know if games magazines are not allowed to publish reviews before the official release date or why else isn't there a single review out yet? Probably none of you will know but incase someone does. I'm a bit curious =).

Oh yea, the game is well worth buying, incase some of you were wondering whether it could live up to the hype or not (in my opinion it can)

I'm watching some devs and other people play multiplayer right now (twitch.tv), so people are playing. I don't think the magazines have it yet though. Might not be high on the priority list or whatever.

They could press charges for letting the store put them on the shelves prior to the actual release date.

Most editors and mags have had their copies of the game. A few Magazines are already going out with reviews to their subscribers and those mags should hit the streets anyday now.

GamePro Magazine: 81%
Play3 Magazine: 82%

Reviews will most likely all go live starting tomorrow from the big review websites.

Yeah, I think it's cause they're obliged not to release their reviews until a certain date (mostly launch date or a bit before).

82%? If the rest of the game is like the demo, it deserves at least a 9/10.

[BigSteve]

So an additional 8%? lol.

Stop judging me!
