1* - A game that takes absolutely no skill to achieve platinum and can usually be gotten in 1-2 days

2* - A game that takes a little bit/some moderation of skill and/or takes a decent amount of time to complete (30-50 hours?)

3* - A game that has moderate difficulty, meaning it takes quite a bit of skill to complete. It can also mean a game takes a fair amount of time to finish (70-130 hours?)

4* - A game that takes a lot of skill to finish, or one that takes a long time to finish (175-250 hours?)

5* - A game that either takes master-like skill to complete (Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2) or an UNGODLY amount of time to finish (White Knight Chronicles; so around 350+ hours?)

Yeah this is kind of the way I look at it. L.A. Noire falls into the 2 category in my eyes for the time it takes. I also think of 1 star games as absolutely no skill and very little time. Would probably raise a few of the 1 star games to 2 stars such as Tomb Raider Underworld (with all those collectibles) and Alone in the Dark (for conquering those controls. lol).

Overall I think we're pretty close to agreeing on most platinums though or very close as we are within 1 point. We're never far off like that should be a 5-star and its rated a 2 or vice versa. A 2 point discrepancy is rare here. It's usually nitpicking over 1 point. 3 to 2. 2 to 1.

Imo games that dosen´t require no skill that dosen´t take atleast 500 hours shouldn´t be 5 stars. Mortal kombat is also 350 hours platinum, should it be 5 stars?
