Also, I don't understand the desparatey in rankings between the different platforms. I have played many of the multi-platform games but see no difference. Then, I go to gamerankings.com and games like CoD4 at 94.4% on 360 and 93.7% for PS3... Seriously, I have played both for many hours and really don't see much difference at all between them... Especially a .7% difference... I see reviews as media and advertising controlled too much now. Lately, I have taken the demo approach. I will only buy a game after I have downloaded and played the demo for it... Or word of mouth with friends who have the games. |
This has more to do with reviewer tastes than anything else. Most places give multiplat games the same score on each platform. For example, Gamespot gave both versions of CoD4 a 9/10 and Gamespy gave them both 5 stars. It's the places that only review one that make the difference. Official Xbox Magazine gave CoD4 a 10/10, whereas PSX extreme gave it a 9.4. Small differences in opinion such as this are what makes the difference in scores, but do not mean that one version is inferior to the other.
