So my point of view is being voted down because I have the audacity to have an acquired habit of signing my posts with my first name, from years and years of using Usenet newsgroups? This place just gets more and more mature by the minute.

Also, I love the fact that my initial post got voted down. "How dare he point out that the data gleaned from this poll is unscientific! That doesn't comport with what I want reality to be!"

Incredible.

Brian, I think you don't understand what "scientific polling" means. If a poll or survey isn't conducted on a representative cross-section of the population, or the pool of respondents aren't chosen in a genuinely random fashion, or the sample size isn't large enough, it is unscientific.

This isn't a scientific poll. According to the summary, roughly half of the respondents were EB customers, meaning they were gamers. It's like conducting a poll about whether the government should provide more social welfare, and having half of the respondents polled be homeless people.

So 98% of respondents in a completely unrepresentative, unscientific poll said they support the 18+ rating. How useful.

As someone who has played a lot of DJ Hero, I can confirm that yes, that is very hard.

However, the game definitely has harder tracks in included in the game. The Sctratch Perverts track still melts my brain on expert difficulty.

You can still do that. I got through the entire demo level, and only took out 1 guy.

This game is great. Played it for seven hours already today.

The missions really aren't THAT awful - they are on par with Grand Theft Auto 4 or Red Faction Guerrilla missions, and because of the incredibly open ended way of completing them, I consider them more fun.

The voice acting is pretty terrible, and the story is pretty "meh" - but that isn't the reason to play this game.

I knew why I bought the game, the first time I drove a Boeing 737 through a rocket ship in mid-flight, then free-fell for about a thousand feet, before pulling my chute and terrorizing a military base for about five minutes - staying in the air by using my grappling hook to create lift.

I'm also a bit confused about the travel time complaints, because with the press of a few buttons, you can be automagically extracted to almost anywhere on the map, unless you'd prefer to drive/fly there yourself. And most missions automatically start you in the vicinity of the objective too.

This game has some flaws, but the gameplay is like a vial of concentrated "fun" extract. And it cost me $39.99 today at a Canadian Wal-Mart.

I bought God of War 3 at the same time, and I haven't even put the disc in yet.

I found MW2's SP campaign to be better, but I found BFBC2's campaign to be far from "just not fun". I had a good time with it.

The only issue with the SP campaign, is the lack of any truly epic or shocking set pieces throughout, whereas MW2's campaign was full of them.

But the combat was fun, the dialogue is still funny as ever, and the story was perfectly serviceable.

I'm sounds like the entire reason they are suing is precisely because they DIDN'T get their promised pile of money.

I'm also guessing they are more acquainted with exactly what their contract/merger with Activision states, than you are I or anyone else here is.
