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

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

Kinda like this weeks VGC numbers.

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

Ah, Review embargo could also be an explanation. Thanks. And isn't -10/10 a more fitting default.

Bunch of damn Nintendo haters. I wonder what their game of the year was for 2013? Anyrhing without the words "3D World" in the title is a slap in the face to everything righteous and pure.

If this ends up being real then I would love to see their justification for that score. No way it is that bad.

Anyone know if the tablet controller is used in the game? Maybe they deducted a point for that?

I can't belive people are waiting for the reasoning behind the review. Is there reasoning behind those reviews? Don't they all operate by money?

Not surprised by the thread creator. It seems you are disappointed a game you were clearly looking forward to did not get a good score, am I right?

Nintendo didn't give Gamespot enough/any money it seems.

I've seen plenty of footage and previews of the game, in no way does a game with this much detail deserve a 5/10.

It would be hilarious if Nintendo just stopped sending review copies to them.
