8 is actually a really good score considering it's IGN who reviewed this. RPG's this generation tend to get torn apart critically.

The 1st sentence does not make any sense as it implies that the IGN guys are some sort of harsh reviewers, who generally give lower scores than other media, which they aren't. IMO they are not a harsh review site, they are a bad review site.

You said it yourself, they're a bad review site. I read that first line, and saw the 8.0 as good for a different reason. This game is a (1)traditional (2)JRPG on a (3)Nintendo (4)handheld. Each numbered word is a reason, in many "professional" reviewers eyes, to dock points. I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive from Amazon, though, before I call it myself. Then again, I don't really trust any reviewers, given that what makes them go wow is considerably different from me.
