9.5 Presentation
Epic has created an immersive universe, there will probably be a second game, also a movie would be good for it. Amazing movie like flair to the game gritty attitude and a unique style.

10 Graphics
The most beautiful game on the Xbox 360. Amazing attention to detail and vibrant good looking environments are great to look at, even on a standard-definition set.

10 Sound
Virtually flawless. An excellent musical score, awesome and spot-on sound effects.

9.0 Gameplay
Simple, accessible and tremendously fun. In close, the combat gets weird, but that doesn't take away from the awesome new covering and exploding head shots.

7.5 Lasting Appeal
The single-player/co-op campaign is over too soon, although the insane difficulty just about triples the length. Versus doesn't have enough variation but it is still great fun.
