I wish more gaming sites were like Famitsu with the 4 reviewer set up. It really decreases individual reviewer bias towards the final score.

I would prefer eliminating the 10 point scale and moving towards a more meaningful scale (and potentially a rubric) ...

In my opinion people really want to know whether you thought the game was 'poor', 'average', 'good', or 'great' (potentially with modifiers above/below for average, very for good/poor, etc) and also want to know how good the game's single player, local multiplayer, online multiplayer, graphics, story, etc where.

A review that looked like:

Single Player: Good
Local Multiplayer: Great
Online Multiplayer: Below Average
Graphics: Below Average
Story: Average
...
Overall: Very Good

Is far more meaingful than "72%"

What about a four-star scale, like many movie critics use?

**** is great
*** 1/2 is excellent
*** is good
** 1/2 is fair
** is poor
* 1/2 is bad
etc.

I agree that the ten-point system needs to be done away with.
