Aren't consumer reviews most of the time better than "official' reviews?


If you're looking for high scores rather than justified scores, yes. Users are more likely to score things high to justify the money they spent, especially if the game is bad.


Consumers also tend to be unfairly harsh towards some products.  Like saying a game that averages 70% is just pure crap as they ignore any redeeming value.  The first Force Unleashed game comes to mind.

I wonder what the pattern is for over-stating a game against under-appreciating it...?
