Agreed. Scores are meant to be a representation of the product in it's entirety, not a single aspect. On an hour by hour bases i'd consider inFamous an awful lot more fun game than FF14, but while i'll probably spend 30-50 hours platinuming infamous, I've sunk over 900 hours into FF14. Which is better in that case?

It's perfectly fine to review a game simply on why you found it fun, but scoring it is meaningless. What is considered "fun" is far too obscure to be measured by static means, as everyone has a different idea of what is fun. That's why we score games based on everything that make them up, not one undefinable factor.

In a sense, scores are an average of all the traditional expectations of fun (music, gameplay, content, story, graphics etc). The review itself will tell people if a game excels in the aspects they appreciate, but the final score is a generalized view.

You should platinum Second Son quicker than that. It's a pretty short game also.
