I don't think a 5 for mirrors edge is that strange. It's a short game, without multiplayer, with very little story, without incredibly impressive graphics. Giving it a 8 would be ridiculous because compared to other games it's lacking so much. If you take GOW2 as a 9. It has around the same length (maybe slightly longer looking at reviews), better graphics, seemingly even a better story and characters, a huge amount of multiplayer, co-op. So yea a 5 doesn't seem to far off.

I actually agree with their 7 for Fallout 3 as well. Bethesdas games lack polish. I don't care if the fallout 3 world is massive. The core gameplay is rubbish. Like playing a very bad FPS. Likewise Oblivion's combat was absoulute rubbish as well, Dark messiah of might and magic had freezing the ground to make people slip, good sword combat where equal swings would clash etc. Fallout 3's gameplay just lacks too much, the graphics aren't good (seriously the animation is horrific, especially when you consider games like GTA have managed good animation).

The only 2 I think are a little wrong is R2 and CoD:WaW. If quantum of solace is a 5 then they should be 8's or 7's at least.

Slow down there fellow.  Or you risk even more FAIL than Edge.
