Just kidding, since Jaywood is here ;o lol Right now it is at 81.   Remove that 50 review and it would be sitting at 85.    Me and you have already went into disussion about this before though but i remember saying games above 80 are usually good, below 80 mediocre. Seems like this game is shaping up to be pretty good... most reviewers are giving it 80-90. That's pretty good Yeah it appears so.  That one review is dragging it down but it has 9 reviews at 90 or above.  6 80's and above.  2 70's.  That one review of 50 is dragging it down but at this rate it will finish around 84-86 depending on how many reviews it gets.   this  happens a lot in review score, somebody gave halo 4 a 2 out of 10, and a 5 out of 10, i expect a 79-81., no way will it get to 83.

I still think they should remove thos reviews personally.  They are just begging for hits and says nothing about what the game is actually like.  But yeah ii mentioned that in my above statement.  Im sure there is other games that get these trollish reviews as well.

i follow metracritic a lot, and scores usually go down then up, in fact its already at 79, but they havent added that review yet, if you point your mouse at the lego game, it says 19 reviews 79, but only 18 reviews are up., there is always gonna be people that hate the game and give it a low score, unless its godly but, 2/10 for halo 4 is just trollish, i could understand a 6/10, i don't agree with it but not a 2/10, with a game of such high quality.

You know maybe Metacritic should change their system from an average score to a median score. That way incredible high scores or incredible low scores wouldn't change the outcome nearly as much.

That isn't a bad idea at all to be honest.  I most of the time agree with metacritic but if it starts being a trend for reviewers to troll popular games just to get hits I'm all up for change.  

Think it hasn't been mentioned yet. 3/5 from Joystiq.

EDIT: oh it doesn't have co-op ?

Decent enough reviews but I'm really not interested in this even though my Wii U is starved for games. Just don't find the idea of playing a GTA game with Lego characters to be appealing at all.

I might check out Need For Speed or just wait until a Pikmin date is carved in stone.

*Sigh*. Why couldn't Konami just give Platinum the greenlight to make a Wii U version of MGS Rising?

LOL! Real reviewers gave Halo 4 a 2/10?! For shame!!

Mathematics has for stuff like this a wonderful tool called Median:

yup basically metracritic is like this for me.

74--79 good

80-84 very  good

85-90 great

90-99 excellent.

Or to, you know, play the game

Some times I want to know the scores before buying a game. Take Tomb Raider for instance. I was kinda hyped when it was announced, then it sort of got some bad press, turning me off and I lost most interest in the game. Then came the reviews, and now I'm hyped to play the game again!!
