That's ridiculous. You don't compare graphics to other platforms. You compare them to the other games on the platform in question. Otherwise DS graphics would never score above a 3, and PS3 and 360 graphics would never score above an 8 after Crysis.

 

Ok, then here's my question:

If you're a reviewer and you're not really impressed with the graphics because you have seen better, do you give the game a high score in graphics anyways because of the system it's on? I don't think you should do that. It would be like giving the PS3's motion controls a high score just because they're ok for a PS3 game, though you know what motion controls can really do after playing the Wii's resident evil.


Yes, of course you do.  Folklore was praised for the best use of motion controls on the PS3 even though all it was was randomly jerking the controller around, something that's mediocre compared to the Wii's uses of motion controls.

You rate games for the system they are on, not for the system they aren't. Are we going to start counting off on DS games for not being 1080p?  

If we go down this path:  No 360 or PS3 game should ever be given good gameplay scores in an FPS because they aren't mouse and keyboard.  No PS3 or 360 game should ever score above an 8 in graphics because they can't match modern PC games.  No handheld game should score high on ANYTHING because they aren't matching PC games.
