lol I find it so funny that every single person who wrote a review for it on amazon gave it at least a 3/5 and all of them said it's really good. In fact, the majority gave it 5/5!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B003VM9DEI/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#RM1B06PAUC5W4

Soo why is it that it's metacritic score is below single A when its user score is mid double A?

Are critics just too negative or are gamers too forgiving?

The game's average was dragged down like all hell because of IGN's review. They have too much influence on Metacritic.

Deadly Premonition is a terrible Heavy Rain ripoff.

Too bad Heavy Rain is a better game , sold more, and has better reviews. Plus, destructoid said that Deadlly premoniton was so bad that they gave it a 10 just for lulz.

Yeah.... despite it came out around the same time as Heavy Rain and has been in development way longer! I'm sure they put it together in one day when they saw what heavy rain looked like.
Rofl it's nothing like Heavy Rain.

I remember 7th Level saying that also. I'm paraphrasing of course but he said "Its a cheap rip-off of Heavy Rain". The game's are nothing like each other.

As for why critics hate it. . . . I'm guessing it's got something to do with the shoddy way it was made. The terrible graphics, voice acting, and oddly placed music, i.e investigating a murder scene with Barney the Dinosaur like music playing in the background, which I think adds to the creepiness What a Face .

As for why most gamers love it? I guess its a breath of fresh air that such a quirky and odd game came out that doesn't take itself seriously, even though I doubt the devs actually wanted that. I'm guessing that's where it got the tag "So bad its good" Laughing
