A score of 8/10 on the 360/PS3 is a great score, thats like an 9/10 based on last gen scores or an 8.5/10 on the wii. People expect perfection on 360/PS3 and they mark down alot if its not perfect, while the other systems have lower expectations and games score higher.

Nah I don't buy that at all. plenty of games can get 9/10 or higher on a 360. An 8/10 now is just as hard/easy to get as it was in the last generation.

That doesn't mean 8/10 is bad. 8/10 is good. Plus if you are a fan of the genre or series then DMC4 is undoubtedly a must have but let's not get carried away and say 8/10 on PS60 is not equivalent to 8/10 on Wii.


GH3 on the wii had mono sound when it came out, try putting that on the 360/PS3 and see what happens. Games with no MP will also suffer more on the 360/PS3 then if they came out on the wii with no MP.


The mono problem (which Activision said they are fixing soon probably with a recall) was discovered after several reviews were already in so it wouldn't have affected the score. And they would have patched it on PS60. Just like GHIII came out without co-op quickplay so it was patched immediately.

Again the MP/no MP issue is irrelevant and doesn't actually have a bearing on review scores or at least as much as you lead on. HS was marked down for its' length with many critics not the fact that there was no MP. Uncharted got a 89.7 average and some GOTY nominations without a multiplayer mode.

You're grasping at straws here. Stop claiming there's some skewed rating system where PS60 titles are judged more severely.
