What happened to the ratings for this game?!?!?!  Metacritics scores average to 53 on PS3 and 58 on Xbox 360!  Was it really that bad?  It's true that after watching a few gameplay footages, all I got out of it was that there's a lot of bum rush shooting and explosions and thus I wasn't very interested in the game.  The game does look good though and seems to have its entertainment value in the exaggerated destruction and chaos, so it baffles me to see an average rating of a 5/10.  Bodycount is a First-Person Shooter with a focus on destructible environments and arcade like gameplay rather than a more realistic, tactical shooter.  From the looks of some of the videos, it seems like players can go online and co-op up to 4 players.  The game averages out to 7-8 hours on campaign according to one of the reviews on Metacritic and it seems multiplayer can be fun (but still have its shenanigans, what FPS doesn't have shenanigans happen?).  Perhaps it's not worth the $60 price tag and people are upset about that.  That, or people are comparing it too much to others games in the market such as the upcoming release of Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.  Because even with games such as Section 8: Prejudice out for $15, barely anyone plays it anymore.  Seems like the biggest games in the market are the ones that are most talked about and praised by critics.  I don't know, perhaps I'll check out Bodycount one day, but I'm still kind of taking a break from FPS for a while to play some more Shoot-em-ups, Fighters and RPGs.
