The consensus seems to be that it deserves a higher score, I wouldn't know since i haven't played it. It's just kinda crazy the ruckus it is causing.

The score has caused a major uproar in the forums. People are being modded indiscriminately for this madness!

I think it was a bit of modding to try and keep the forums less cluttered and get people to post in the stickies.

I think the game is alot better than a 7.5, but that's just me. I played the first two levels yesterday and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the overall experience. I never played any of the previous games so this is definetly a new series for me.

Insomniac has always put quality into their titles. Ratchet and Clank is no exception. I've seen the series grow from the PS2 and I've been quite content with their titles. A 7.5 just does'nt do justice, especially when they have done fantastic job they did with Tools of Destruction. A good platformer is hard to find these day in a gaming industry surrounded by Halo wannabes.
