I have to say this caught me by surprise.

Given the game is technically fine, then for me it's at least limped to a 5 or 6 out of 10 right there. Reading the review I'm really surprised they didn't go for a 7 - which would be game is fine technically and okay for the genre but nothing special.

A 5 means the game has serious issues, which is pretty much going against the general views which seem to be the game is fine if somewhat linear and nothing new.

A 5 means that the game is fine technically and okay for the genre, but nothing special.

A 7 means that the game is very enjoyable, and has a few flaws, but is among the better games in its genre.

This is Edge.

no you are totally wrong.

1-5 means it sucks, no exceptions. A 2 just means they hate the game and it sucks.

6-7 menas it is good "for a Wii game"

8 means it is good

9 means it is AAA

10 means it is overhyped.

Not quite.

1-4: They go into the game wanting to detest it. Alternatively, it's really bad.

5-6: They are on super alert mode because they don't like this game/genre/developer/console.

7: Non-Halo/CoD FPS, except those which fit into earlier categories. Alternatively, they're sick of the game, and it's good but they want it to go away.

8: They want to give it a 9, but the genre/developer/console won't let them.

9: Excellent.

10: They can't even be bothered to play it, but they think that giving it a 10 will cause an uproar. Especially if it's developed in the UK.
