    Default Global Agenda Gamespot review gets pulled

    Since apparently companies haven't learned their lesson from the Darkfall fiasco, a Gamespot review that gave Global Agenda a 5.5/10 was recently pulled after it was discovered that the reviewer's character had only spent 6 hours in game with no alliance or agency for conquest matches.

    Oops

    Eurogamer gave it a 6 for being average. I agree with 5-6, I also hate how they call it a MMO when quite clearly it's not.
    The combat isn't even that fun!! Play some TF instead.

    Seeing as how the combat is the same as all other shooters: point, click, kill, run around like a freak in vain trying to dodge shots. Plus the jetpack being inspired by Tribes, you're essentially saying that all FPS game combat isn't fun.

    I said it's not that fun. It's still rather enjoyable but it's not brilliant or does anything new.
    That PVE is very sub-par just killing the same robots again and again not to mention the community isn't even that great and it's so rare to get the under 4 deaths bonus. As a robotic I seemed to be dealing the most damage and taking the most with the shields and turrets.

    I am not 'essentially saying that all FPS game combat isn't fun' because for a start this isn't a FPS, it lacks basic things such as head shot marks, the melee is rather terrible the guns lack something (I can't tell you what it is but they don't feel enjoyable to use compared to say MW2 which is set in present day) the game is OK it's not good and doesn't deserve anything more than a 7.

    I can tell the issues and positives of a game in 6 hours. I can tell even more about a game as simplistic as GA in 6 hours.

    It's an FPS that charges MMO fees and it doesn't compare to the FPS games that currently exist.

    I would be fine reading a review that spent 6 hours in a game. In fact if a game is terrible the reviewer doesn't need to be in that long to figure it out. However if a game is fun then you now have to make sure it's still fun a few days in. Basically if a review that gave a game a 9/10 came from 6 hours of play I wouldn't consider it valid. A review that gives a 5/10 can be easily determined in 6 hours.
