This review may not even end up on Metacritic, they didn't add his 5/5 review for Forza 5. Also, Rev3Games has mentioned before that the way that they review games (5 stars) doesn't neccessarily convert well to a 100 point rating system like what is used by Metacritic. The 5 star rating system is a holdover from Adam's time on G4, I'm not really sure why ke kept it instead of moving on with the rest of the journalism industry to a 10 or 100 point rating system. Also, I don't think that Rev3Games gives half star reviews, so this could have been closer to a 2.5 and got rounded down to 2.


The 5 star system is a joke. Doesn't allow for precision reviews. It's completely flawed. This guy is a idiot. I'm keeping my 5 star cause I can....

Trust me, Adam Sessler is no idiot, he's one of the most intelligent journalists in the industry. He's more Microsoft friendly than a large number of other journalists out there, as a pretty major Xbox fan, I wouldn't be a fan of Adam if he was biased against Microsoft. I've seen him defend Microsoft on several occasions, recently he defended Microsoft in the resolutiongate controversy, saying that there were more important things to gaming than resolution, which got him alot of flak from the Sony ponies as well as some PC elitists. Just today I saw him attempt to assuage a gamer's concerns about privacy on the Xbox One on his webcam call-in show, Address the Sess, his Xbox One hardware review yesterday was mostly positive, and his Forza 5 review was 5/5 (one of only two perfect scores for Forza 5).


The 5 star system is a broken system, he needs to address the issue.
