Not appealing to personal taste is one thing..but I believe professional reviewers should be more unbiased and open minded about gaming...it's like comparing every damn FPS since last year to COD....It's like gametrailers lowering UC2 score saying it wasn't inovative but gave Halo3 something like 9.8 or 9.9 ...I actually saw some people score this game down because not everyone will like it...I mean who the F cares? jsut rate the damn game, its mechanics, innovation, presentation, game play, graphics (whehter the graphics does justice...not like the psp port of this ps3 game doesn't look as good idiocacy)
anywho it's just one lame review...overall many gave it shining reviews and it will keep coming I'm sure :) |
Hey, I agree with you. Heck I blasted a reviewer for doing this very thing to Endless Ocean 2. Then IGN's Craig Harris did the same thing and despite saying it was better than the original in every way then proceeded to give it a lower score purely because it didn't appeal to him personally. And just look at the debate going on in the Just Dance thread. Critically hated but universally loved by the public. Like Transformers 2.
Critics are people too. If they can't find any fun factor in a game they can't in good conscious rate it well, and a game like this is definitely going to have some who love it and some who absolutely hate it because, like Endless Ocean, 'it isn't a game'. Is it fair to the game? No. But you got to find a review who shares your tastes.
