I gave up on reviews a decade ago when several games I loved got low scores. One of my favorite games of all time received a 4/10 from the magazine I read at the time.

Which one? :) This reminded me of a review in a Croatian games magazine (which doesn't exist anymore, but used to be huge), where a reviewer gave StarCraft (the original) a 60/100 score. The shitstorm this caused was absolutely huge, and was the first time I came across something like this happening. Magazine buyers wanted his head on a platter, and they kind of got it in the end.

This game! 

Best JRPG battle system ever.  Review was by a now dufunct US magazine called "GamePro".

YES! That's an awesome game! I too can't think of a game with a better battle system than that.

Was it the PS2 version, though? Because that version did receive much lower scores than the Dreamcast version. I played it on PS2 and it was still awesome although the framerate was bad.
