| smbu2000 said: Just because you like the game doesn't mean the review is bad. I mean if you like Manager games then this game would probably be really good for you, but if not then you would have 0 interest in the game. For example, I love the NFL and enjoy playing football (yes, American!) and football videogames, but would I want to play the NFL Head Coach games? No way, because I'm not interested in doing the stuff that a head coach would. |
But the purpose of a review is that someone who enojys these types of games to tell you if the game's any good. If not, we'd be seeing totally random scores (OK, more random than now) that would depend on which reviewer's name came out in a draw. For example, if I worked in a review site and was charged to do a review of Halo:CE, I'd write that the game's totally mindless and boring, and the only thing you do is go forward, target and shoot. Would this review be useful to anyone? The only thing I showed is that I hate FPSes.
We'd be seeing bad reviews of JRPGs "because all you do is watch cutscenes and select Attack", racers "because all you do is drive a car, RTSes "all you do is click-click-click, you don't even fight", etc.
