The Gameboy only had 4 colors (green, blue, dark green, and yellow-green), tinny music, and simple gameplay. Well, for a Gameboy game, the standards were different. It was hard to justify giving the best Gameboy game possible a lower score because it did the best it could with the hardware available. If the same game were released for the Nes/Snes, it would have been dinged for its shortcomings. Same goes for today. If a game was released for the HD Twins with Wii graphics, it's going to get docked a few points. If a game that was barely acceptable on the DS got released for the 3DS, it's gonna get docked, too. It's just a matter of what people expect and what is delivered. Everyone's expectations are different, though. Reviewer 1 may expect great graphics and gameplay from Super Puffball Adventures 7. Reviewer 2 may expect great storytelling and new game physics. Those two are looking for two totally different things and based on SPB7's strengths, it may be two different things to two different people. |
