Can No more Heroes 2 get a higher METAcritic rating than the Original?

How did Edge magazine ever come to give the original No More Heroes a 9?!

Not that the game doesn't deserve it, but EDGE MAGAZINE? I thought they were supposed to have a reputation for being overly harsh and low-scoring. Seems to me they couldn't be more inconsistent if they decided the score for a game based on throwing dice.

I find Edge just puts more emphasis on being new and different than most other sites do.  When I look at their scores with this in mind they usually make sense.

So even if a sequel is more polished and better overall, it's older so it sucks.

Still a dumb standard.

Now some could argue that the casual crowd turns down sequels, but they just see the name. Edge actually plays the games, so they don't have that excuse.
