Games can hold 9.5 on double layered discs. Dont think many games use it though

Gamespot have given the xbox version 5.4 with over 100 readers giving it an average of 6.8. They haven't reviewed the ps2 version yet but nearly 100 readers have given it an average of 8.6 so far, so who knows maybe it's slightly better or less buggy.

Sod glitchy, from what I've heard, this game is missing a few hundred screens of code. I'm not surprised - Atari were Infogrames before they changed their name, after all; they released some of the crappest titles known to man under that name, which makes it pretty clear why they changed their company name to Atari, which everyone recognizes, in an attempt to maybe blind the public to the quality of their games using rose tint tactics.

Everyone knows that magazines get paid off; it's been happening for years. They get various offers of money/publicity - i.e. a cash lump sum on publication of a fraud review, some stickers on game covers or another exclusivity deal of some kind. Printed magazines are no longer worth the trees they're printed on - the journalists don't make enough money to have ideals, and if they're offered a nice bonus for some mild "alterations" to an unimportant-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things game, then so be it. It's human nature, and filthy rich game publishers capitalize on this.

KKlein, Edge's former editor was Joao Diniz-Sanchez, if you're looking for that interview.

IGN have posted their review and awarded the PS2 and Xbox versions 5.4 and 5.5 respectively. 1UP on the other hand have awarded it 8.5, calling it "the best movie-like game yet".

Interestingly, they haven't mentioned the glitches previously mentioned in this thread, although GameSpot and IGN name them as one of the major reasons for the low scoring.

I'm still waiting for my copy, which I might add Royal Mail has probably lost/stolen again seeing as Gameplay usually have to you within 2 days. Wait till I see our postman tomorrow I'm going to give him a piece of my mind...

And if those low scores from both IGN & Gamespot don't prove the games a load of old piss I don't know what will. The game isn't even in the same league as both the Getaway & GTA, let alone True Crime.
