The problem is that the Zelda cycle doesn't apply to me.

We'll see about that in 5 years time when the next Zelda game(s) come out

Also, whilst you may not 'love' the game, you can'd deny it's good, right? 

I.E what would you rate it out of 100?

It's not like I am suddenly going to start loving Phantom Hourglass next year just because it turns five, so don't hold your breath.

I am quite sure that I said that SS is good in my "50 things I hate" thread. I think I would rate it in the low 80s, perhaps 82. The tedious parts towards the end drag it down.

Now if you adjust this 82 score to the scale the majority of reviewers use, you are looking at a 95 or so. Because nowadays good games are passed off as great, sometimes even as outstanding or exceptional.

Well, Phantom Hourglass just wasn't very good (in Zelda standards. It was still a great game, though!)

As for your score, the way you were talking felt far more negative, but there you go. Obviously you did like it then. Maybe you were just expecting too much?

Also, score inflation is a real issue, but since everyone's doing it, there's not much you can do about it, unless you scrap all review systems and start over with a uniform system from square one. But I don't see that happening, because it will invalidate all other, current reviews.
