This is what I get when I click the link: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/donkey-kong-tropical-freeze-review/1900-6415667/?utm_source=gamefaqs&utm_medium=partner&utm_content=footer&utm_campaign=gamespace_b

It's not up yet on the main page, but the score is already leaked.

Kinda like this weeks VGC numbers.

If that's the real score then I would love to see the reviewer's reasoning for giving TF that score, because TF is not a 5/10 game by any means.

Me too. It's especially funny because apparently they rated the original DKCR an 8.5/10. TF would seem to improve everything the original did by a large margin, so even if they did take off points for unoriginality (which they seem to be fine with in most other sequels that do more of the same), a 5/10 still makes no sense. Sounds like a biased review to me.

or different reviewer, in which case it wouldn't be very comparable even if it's the same site.

Obviously true, yet if it's by the same website and they want to consider themselves as 'professionals', at the very least they ought to adhere to some form of perspective and continuity. Not that I care much for most professional reviews, but this is like awarding God of War 2 on PS2 an 8.5/10 then giving God of War 3 on PS3 a 5/10. Or Halo on Xbox an 8.5/10, then Halo 3 on 360 a 5/10. The margin is just off. Well, that's my take on it, anyway, and I think it makes sense.
