I never understood how reviewers learned to calculate an average, the median of the individual scores here is 7.7 and this is almost always the case.
The final score is probably deserved (I hate handheld gaming) but why have individual scores that don't add up to the final score?
Silliness.

(Out of 10/not an average)

I know that but what's the point? It seems askew somehow, I've always thought that. The different aspects are this good or that good but the sum and total impression is quite a bit lower or quite a bit higher. Seems counterintuitive to me.
