Phooey Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Nicked from NTSC-uk. Considering how well R&C has scored elsewhere, I'm interested to see why they've only given it a 6.

Phooey Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 If you look at Metacritic for R&C, they're all in the 9/10 range except for Gamespot, which gave it 7.5/10. Clive Barker's Jericho is supposed to be pretty bad, yet R&C scores just above it. I suppose until I've played R&C I won't really be able to make up my own mind, but at the moment GTM can get the f*** orf my land.:evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Good point Ed, I didnt really like the small amount that I played of Gears of War so Im not going to bother with Mario Galaxy. The anticipation might be clouding my judgement but that does seem odd, I bet there is some massive moral point that one of the writers makes about why he didnt give it a ten, it will probably involve his childhood.

DANGERMAN Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 erm... Fifa has out-scored Pro Evo I'm scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I think you'll find that Fifa has outscored PES 2008, its an entirely different game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 As they always say though, scores are subjective aren't they? They gave Gears and Burnout 3 10's but I think both should've got 9. They admitted recently that Resi 4 (back when it first came out) should've got a 10. Bioshock got a 10 and deserved it, plus Halo 3 and Portal deserve 10's also (but got 9's). But then that's just my opinion so it doesn't matter for shit. The Taiko score is right, in my opinion. I thought it was above average but couldn't see why you all went crazy over it. Certainly not a patch on other DS rhythm games. And let's not forget, Mario getting a 9 is not the end of the world! Still a brilliant score.

HandsomeDead Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I think the scores have been talked about alot over in there forum, its all a matter of personel oppinion but you can't knock 9/10, its a good fricking score, if a game gets 8, 9 or 10 its gonna be good but just how good is down to you.

Hendo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 :laugh: Yeah the GTM forum is always a blur of very angry people who feel outraged at some scoring. Like it matters! Mind you, I still haven't forgiven them for that outrageous kicking that they gave Wii Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickled Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 i can't really see the point of scoring games with arbritary numbers, and they always cause frickign arguements like ohmigod you only gave it an 8 so what, 8 is still good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I hope you all realise I wasn't being serious in my WTF comment about Super Mario Galaxy only getting a 9. Taiko is better than a 6, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illdog Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 But the scores are what we base our decisions on! If they're not there what will we do then? Make up our own minds?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I just bought this and the end few words on Galaxy are thus: A landmark videogame. Also, "Finally FIFA is good. Long may the good times continue". They seem to like Ratchet & Clank but although it looks brilliant it hasn't moved on much and feels a bit old. Oooh, Halo 3 got 10/10 for multi. :laugh: I'm sure some will argue with that, but spot on in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
