| Scoobes said: I do believe you're in the minority. I played both, imo X-2 sucked donkey balls! OT: Edge's scoring system is one of the most bizzare scoring systems of any publication. The articles they have are actually quite good, but the scores they give are just odd. Basically, I ignore Edge's scores and look at other review scores to get a better idea of a game. Even if Edge give a game a good score I'll try before I buy. |
I felt X took itself way too seriously and I didn't really like any of the characters. But still, I can see why other people would like it more.
As for Edge's scoring... I've always felt that they've at least been able to give an accptable reason why they score as they do - and after all, there are no set rules for how a magazine should do this. I've bought lots of games that have been given 6s or 7s there, enjoyed them, and still been able to see their flaws.
I certainly don't see why anyone has a good reason to really complain. At least not until they've seen the full review AND played the game.
