5 stars with 5 half stars is exactly the same as a ten-point scale.


Oh, four star scale.  Still, it's very similar. 8-point scale instead of 10.  I suppose it would help eliminate the "grade" mentality of only 70+ being acceptable (a "C" grade) and only 90+ being good (an "A" grade)

It's not a huge change, but I think it might make a huge difference.

You're limited to these scores:

100%
87%
75%
62%
50%
37%
25%
12%
0%

Instead of these scores:

100%
95%
90%
85%
80%
75%
70%
65%
60%
etc.

And don't forget IGN which, for some weird reason, recently reverted back to its 100-point scale.
