This is what I get when I click the link: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/donkey-kong-tropical-freeze-review/1900-6415667/?utm_source=gamefaqs&utm_medium=partner&utm_content=footer&utm_campaign=gamespace_b

No way, this will be the lower end of the scale. I'd be surprised if the final score was less than 80 (if it lives up to the last game then 85 would be a safe bet).

People are freaking out over a review that doesn't exist. OK.....

It's not up yet on the main page, but the score is already leaked.

Kinda like this weeks VGC numbers.

If that's the real score then I would love to see the reviewer's reasoning for giving TF that score, because TF is not a 5/10 game by any means.

Why not? Have you played it? Maybe it's not as good as it was..

I could swear by the name FF, that all changed after FFX-2!

Hmm, so it showed up the title on the website including a score, although the review isn't written yet? Is sure then, that the 5 is the real score and not some default-value of the software?

The score is not 100% confirmed I guess, but the review has definitely already been written.
I don't know if there's a review embargo of this game or rather when the lift of the embargo is happening, but I could imagine that the review has already been submitted on the website, but is still kept hidden from all non staff members until that embargo ends.

Default score should be 10/10 anyway

i think the reviewer is tom mcshea.he rated bioshock infinite a 4/10

I remember gamespot giving ZombiU the lowest score of all reviewers. Which is not an issue for me, 'cause opinions may vary. The problem was the argumentation, stating that ZombiU wasn't a good zombi shooter, something the game didn't pretend to be in the first place. So if they walk the same road with DKCTF, maybe they just don't like Nintendo. Or don't understand games.
