Personally, I hate that so many people focus on Metacritic scores as though they were anything but very, very rough indicators. My own +/- is at least 10, which means that I when I see a Metacritic score of 80, I assume it will be anywhere from a 70 to a 90 for me, and possibly even further out than that.
Also, no one should ever be removed for not following the nonsensical "80 is average" scale so many others seem to think is an absolute. It's not uncommon to read a review that tears a game apart, only to see a 70 tacked on the end. I mean, what?
Still, all that being said, this guy gave Brutal Legend a 100. Do with him as you will.
