Eurogamer said the graphics were "decent"

Yes, worded so by the eminent female reviewer with the following, impressive review resume from which to draw upon in her judgement;

Dead or Alive: Paradise - psp
Muscle March - wii
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll - wii
Plants vs. Zombies - iphone 
Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond - 360
Critter Crunch - ps3
Tony Hawk: RIDE
We Sing - wii
Buzz!: Quiz World - ps3
Jambo! Safari - wii
Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier - psp
LittleBigPlanet - psp
Take That Singstar - ps3

I think I'll pretend she smokes too much weed and read some other reviews instead.

ooh tut tut tut, HAS to be biased because she only reviews mostly wii/psp games and is a female.

Every single person in the world is biased, including you and me. And as I mentioned in my other post; her being a woman was probably insignificant but her review history is not. Can you not see how different this game will be from anything she's ever reviewed? The closest thing on that list is Matt Hazard, which is still far away (sidescrolling shooter a la Contra). Seeing that list should hint at what this person enjoys and plays most of the time.

Personally, I hate Buzz, I find it meaningless and boring and would rather play a board game than this noise but I love RPG's. Ergo; I'd score Buzz very low (2-3/10) because I can't enjoy it but I might score a mediocre RPG 5 or 6 simply because I enjoy the genre and certain aspects of it. Can't you see where this could create some problems in assessing a games worth on its merit and premise?

This reviewer doesn't just post a review without consulting anyone. It has to be edited and checked before it goes up. Just because she has reviewed only a few 360/ps3 games means nothing, i mean everyone has to start somewhere. We wouldn't be having this conversation if she had given it 10/10.

Its not the score that bothers me, its her silly comment on how the graphics are "decent" when that clearly isn't the case according to the rest of the world and it shows that she doesn't really have a good grasp on things. There are most certainly no games on this genre that have visuals on par with this. Of course, she would know this if she ever played Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill: Homecoming or Dead Space.
