I've been saying that on this site for months, you'd think more people would figure it out too but people just keep complaining. Ignore the score, read the review, and score it yourself...you'll like that score much better. |
While this makes perfect sense on a personal level, I think some of us who are looking at review scores are looking at them with a mind to how they influence sales.
IGN is a highly respected site, and a 7.8 from them won't help sell a game that could use all the help it can get in the sales department. Luckily, every other reviewer is more positive on the title, so things aren't too bad.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
