| scottie said: Metacritic is a site based around the principle of removing the entire contents of a review except for a number, and averaging these numbers out without thought for who the reviewers are. I think it highly appropriate that ludicrous scores are up on this site. If you don't like it, I suggest you do not use metacritic as a basis for decisions, and actually read a few reviews |
Not true. For the official numbers they give some reviewrs more weight than others, and they don't count just any score from someone who claims to be a reveiwer. They also list the sources for the scores, and you can then read the full reviews, which is handy when some give a game a 20 and some an 80.
