Lol, that's right! If you take that 42 score (the worse I've ever seen) the game almost jumps at least 2 or 3 pts up!

Hate seeing bad math like this thrown around.  People always seem to overestimate how much difference taking out one bad score would have.  You have to remember that there are 75 scores included in that average.  So no it doesn't jump up at least 2 or 3 points, it goes from 83.22 to 83.76, a little more than half a point up.  And how much it would change the metacritic score is actually less than that because I highly doubt that GameShark is weighted above the average for that list so it would have less of an effect than it usually would.
