| Boutros said: The graphics score is not really justified. They gave GTAIV 10/10 for graphics and they were not good at all but when you consider the scale of the world it was impressive. Isn't it the same thing with MAG? |
Clearly the score for graphics is somewhat suspect. This happens though. In pure critical terms the score should be based on the graphics/game combination - i.e. are the graphics weak for a 256 player game or good for a 256 player game?
Here, IGN has obviously skewed from 'pure' evaluaiton based on the game to comparison evaluation - i.e. comparing the graphics to apparently similar titles.
Having played the Beta I'd say the graphics are an 8.5 in terms of the game itself. I'm sure you could squeeze a bit more detail in, but doubt they could be much better for this game on this console.
MAG was always going to struggle though in this area as you're going to see some reviewers clearly evaluating it on its own basis and some comparing it to other titles in areas which are inappropriate.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
