Scores on metacritic matter on 90% only to FANBOYS. Normal consumer usually read 1-2 review, or see an advertisement and buy game.
GT5P got not much on metacritic, because reviewers reviewed it like a full game, when it`s just a PROLOGUE.
Come on, GRID got 9 from EDGE and Eurogamer, and what, it sold 30k on both consoles.
MGS4 will sell millions, even though it god 8 from those 2. Nobody really cares about metacritic.
GT5P has best graphics todate and is just GREAT, but compared to FULL GT5 it of`course couldn`t get 100.
