I'm actually surprised at this score.

You mean because it is very high compared to all the complains?

Me too.

Ya, namely after the bitching they did on the podcast. I just love how they (GT) love modern warfare, when most of their "critisisms" of zelda can be applied to that franchise. (I like ModernWarfare, but even I can say it is the samish, if not a downgrade vs black ops.)

I'm pretty sure that if fishing were in the game he would still complain " Is fishing in every f*** Zelda game?! Ocarina 4.0?! "

Maybe for Zelda WiiU if they have a reviewer who knows which console is in and what the hardware can/cannot do I'll care again about what they has to say. I'll pass completly from they review.

Edit: Read some comments around the web about the review. Apparently, was even worse than I thought. Complains a lot but then gave a high score. I loved their TP review, my favorite for the game, what a contrast.

I'm thinking it will settle at 94. Though 94 would make it the worst reviewed main Zelda game rofl (even below Majora's Mask O.o)

Every time a game is released that is a 9.5-10 that game becomes the standard. Which means if two years later a clone of the same game was released it should receive a 7.5 or something like that since it is now only on par with the standard set years before it. All games released after that should be better than the new set standard in order for it get a perfect 10 not just as good.

It's the reason why uncharted 3 isn't getting as high of scores as Uncharted 2 because that game became the bench mark. Uncharted 3 was only on par with Uncharted 2 so it can't get the same score since the game was released 2 years after the standards for genre was set. Gaming standards should be increasing as more amazing games get released.

Which is why I don't get Zelda reviews. Oot was released 10 years ago and the next entries are barely able to surpass it. Oot set the standard so if another Zelda game is released that only meets it's level of excellence or only barely exceeds it shouldn't it receive at most an 8 since it couldn't surpass the standard set which would now become the 7.5 level?

I think it will settle out mid-95, but we won't be sure until about mid-December.

They are clearly biased! Skyrim has bug all over yet it got a higher score most likely because it is HD and i don't even need to make sure if they did give it a higher score :P

Good score, but very disappointed with the review. The complaints made no sense whatsoever (no sidequests???) and the score doesn't corralate at all. I'm very disappointed they didn't have the guts to give it a bad score or to admit they liked it despite it not BEING IN HAICHDEE AND WITH GUNS AND SHIT!

Updated the OP again with a few more reviews, including the GameTrailers...review (?)

Not bad. Not bad at all
