Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Blurry scan of MP3 review from Nintendo Power

The text is barely readable, if that, but you can distinctly see the '10' in the red box below the game's title.

Hm... How often do they give perfect 10s?



Well, it's nintendo power. I'm sure it's gonna be awesome. I am wondering what all the other reviews are going to be like.



Just kiss the tip.


What else did you expect? It's Nintendo Power and it's Metroid Prime. Of course it's going to get a 10.
It does deserve it!!!! Woot, Woot!

That's the first ten they gave out since they revised their reviewing structue, which was quite a long time ago.

That's great! I can't wait to get this game! They have only given one other game, ever a 10 and that was Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube! Metroid Prime 3 FTW!



It looks like it could definitely be a consistent 9+. It is hard for me to say a game deserves a 10 without playing it, so I will hold judgment on it til more reviews come out/I play it myself.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I went looking for some context:

Game: NP score (GR average)
Super Paper Mario: 95 (86)
Twilight Princess Wii: 95 (94)
New Super Mario Bros: 95 (89)
Warioware Wii: 90 (82)
Mario Party 8: 75 (63)
Pokemon Battle Revolution: 65 (57)

Not bad, but it likely doesn't tell us much more than that the game is above an 85.

 Twilight Princess got a 9.5, just as reference. They haven't given a 10 out in at least a couple years.

From what I have read from different sites only two games ever have been given perfect scores by NP, on either scale. Ocarina of Time and RE4. This bodes well, although it does bring up the possibility that there may be some backlash if Galaxy is given 10's as well. We shall see.
