13/36 critics gave it a 9 or higher according to Metacritic.
Not quite as good as God of War which got 38/41 9s or highers (and about 21 10/10s), but still very good.
XIII also got 8/36 scores below 8, with only 3 below 7. So, I fail to see how XIII is a bad game.
MGS4 got 65/82 9s or higher - so don't quite understand how you can think its a bad game.
