Numbers tend to skew perspective. All I know is that NO game should have a perfect score. Ever. No game is perfect. Ever.

Nothign is perfect ever. But I don't knwo why people have the strange thing with putting the top score to perfect. If you have a scale you should utilize it fully, which means the top-score isn't the same as perfect. As simple as that.

The rating system should never be a mathematical figure because 10 out of 10 is 100% which is perfect. It would make more sense to go by fail, pass, average, great and excellent. There should never be a 5/5 of 10/10 cuz that's a perfect score especially when the reviewer makes it sound so.... which is another topic.
