I've played Sunshine and didn't like the game at all, neither did anyone else I know. One reason the game may have scored higher is due to hype, it's a Mario game, so a very important game for Nintendo. I think the same may have happened with regard to Gears of War (and more recently Halo 3), which was very important for the XBox 360 platform at the time.

I think one important reason why Oblivion scored so high on the PS3 is mainly because it's a good improvement over the XBox 360 version which scored high as well. It's a very good game no doubt, but they could have pushed the system so much further as well and polished some more bugs.

I believe some of the PS3 exclusives are well underrated (only in direct comparison to other titles, by default I would have been much harder reviewing any game) and many PS3 cross-platform ports overrated due to the games receiving good scores originally on the XBox 360. I think the gaming press are overall just as much system or game "fanboys" like almost anyone else. The PS3 has generated some negative feelings with some of the gaming press, this for example due to XBox 360 affection or unrealistic short term expectations, affecting scores.

So what I really wanted to say, IMO take rating comparisons with a grain of salt.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
