OKAY!! THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF!!!
First off, I was reading Gameinformers review of Sonic Unleashed, and they made it sound like the reason the Wii version only got .5 points higher instead of a full point was because it was graphics. Then today I was on the Madworld message boards on GameFAQS, and some dude made a huge rant about how much Madworld is gonna suck, and the main reason for that is because it's all in black and white with a few red splashes. WTF!? I am SO sick of graphics bumping up a crappy games score and lowering a great games score. Okay, so a game could be great and look like N64 on a next gen console, and I would understand that affecting the score, but honest to god; changing a review from a 7 to a 6.5 because the Wii is not as graphically gifted? That is absolute Bull****!! So, in summation, I just think that graphics should not play as big a part in game scores and "fun factor" as they do, that's all.

what's half a point in a rating anyway...some standup comedian did a routine about ratings systems being completely arbitrary, but now I can't remember. It was basically saying all ratings are the critics' currency. One reviewer could say "I give this game one thousand gold stars!" but is that supposed to be as valuable as someone else's two thumbs up?
ReplyDelete10/10 = 5 stars = two thumbs up = the little filled in circe in consumer reports....it's total nonsense.
I give Madworld 14.82 partially filled-in blue triangles, a perfect score.
