Metacritic's problem is reviewers like something new. Take the littlebigplanet series for example. Each sequel, yes LBPV I'm considering a sequel, is undoubtedly better than the last yet each one scores lower and lower. LBP2 is 100% no questions asked better than the first since it even includes the first game yet it has a lower metacritic score. That right there is all the proof you need that Metacritic is far from perfect.



This is not correct. This opinion assumes that expectations remain stagnant. Final Fantasy 7 is a fantastic JRPG for its time but nowhere great by todays standards( love it still) and would not fare the same way if it was made today like the way that it is. I used Final Fantasy 7 to help paint my point though its more dramatic than LBP to LBP2. LB2 Is definitely better than 1 but how much better than1or other platformers as whole?. Not just about comparison to its predecessor.
