Well for consistency they should have the same person reviewing the sequel as reviewed the original (C. Arnone - 9.0). At least that way there's proper relativity between the first game and it's direct sequel so that people who played FFXIII can get a proper sense of how FFXIII-2 comnpares to the original. Or at least get someone who liked FFXIII as much as the original reviewer to do the review. This way you can't actually get a good handle on how the 2 games compare. The difference between this site and Edge, for example, is that Edge gave XIII-2 the same 5.0 score as XIII. Tells everyone the games are about the same. What this site tells everyone is that one game is way better than the other.
From what I've heard the XIII and XIII-2 are about the same.
All the gaming public ask for is consistency, consistency means gamers can rely on a website to be a good indicator. To me, 2 years on, it seems like XIII's score should be down in the 6's, rather that XIII-2's be up in the 8's for there to be reasonable comparability.
