I agree mostly with Dunkey. Specially the parts where the review reads like a manual, and when reviewers start getting harsh on the game but still give it an amazing score (repetitive, unimaginative soundtrack, chaotic, too easy. 9/10).

The inconsistencies between staff's opinions is unavoidable, and not that big of a deal. I just want the critics to be harsher on games. I rarely read reviews this days, because I can tell what they're gonna say just from the public opinion. They're not adding a critical, different point as to why this game sucks or rocks. They just echo what everyone else, gamers or reviewers, have already said.

And that's the thing that annoys me. If you're letting off a string of annoyances that you don't care for in the game, I think it should reflect on the final score. And I hate reviews that bunch in negative points at the end only to dismiss them. These are points to be looked at in the review alongside the rest, not just "I LOVED this game, buuuuuut...". If there are issues they have with the game, pepper them within the rest of the review, don't tack them on at the tail end. Good points should be offest with bad points too.

But, there's nothing for these game reviewers to get mad about. They know they're full of shit and this is an advertiser-run industry.
