maybe is really a typo maybe the score was 6.3 and not 3.6 and they got it backwards, it fits better
it isnt an average or somethin... u can get a 7 in each, and yet have an overall score of 5(not being precise), but sometimes the game is overall just horrible
That score should have been a 6.1 at the MOST!!!

I game can get a score higher than any individual part if it's greater than the sum of it's parts, and likewise it can do the same backwards. After reading the review it sounds like the unnecessary difficulty pretty much makes the game damn near unplayable. Even if it looks good, plays ok, sounds alright, it still just isn't fun because it's ridiculously hard for no reason.

then if the overall score was marked down due to gameplay then shouldn't gameplay be incredibly lower than the overall score?
To me if a scoring system indicates that the overall score can be lower than the average of the others totalled then all this tells me is a category is missing, the only way to stop biasm is surely to have the overall as an average.
Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are...
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
Just like with Crash Bandicoot on the PSX and Donkey Kong on the SNES, don't let other developers mess with franchises which aren't originally their own, as they usually end up pretty bad... just like with Spyro :(. And that game was pretty damn good on the PSX.

If this were the case, I'd expect Lasting Appeal to be lower than 7....because it stops being appealing since it's so hard.
I know it's not an average, but if the game sucks that bad, then some aspect of it must suck that bad, and like gawalls said, if none of the categories they rated were that poor, there must be a category missing.
Maybe the category missing is "fun"!
The "missing" catagory is indeed fun. It's represented by what reviewers call an "overall score." That's why they make sure to point out that the overall score is not an average of the other scores.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
