YOu didn't factor in the Next Gen Tax. All games must be the second coming of christ and be able to bare the full weight of a console's price in order to get anything above a 8.5

I like how Eurogamer criticise the lack of content but yet they gave prologue a higher score which pretty much had 30 cars at release and about 8 tracks....

Well if reviews for it continue like this then that about settles it. NSMB U wins best next gen launch title, unless Ryse defies all odds.

I think when most people predicted meta scores it was before they knew about it having less tracks and cars.  After they announced that I think everybody will be happy that the game is still being reviewed well and it shows how great the game still is even though it lacks content :)  

Seems the "bad" scores are penalizing it heavily for lack of tracks and the career mode. I understand the tracks, I don't understand the career mode penalties. Just different strokes for different folks. I am fine with everything being open. Also weird to see people complaining about needing to grind in the game. That is a staple of this genre.

I already decided I would buy used based off their DLC shenanigans, so I am glad to see them being criticized for lack of content.

What prologue? If you mean GT, obviously standards in the industry have changed since then, GT5 got pretty mixed reviews.

I wonder will Forza 5's metacritic score be lower than the ps3's Gran Turismo 6 coming in soon, I know it's a generation behind but that game is meant to be chock full of content.

if it gets another sub 75 it'll drop to 82.

you know the review-system is broken when Eurogamer gives it a 7/10 and Eurogamer Italy gives it a 9/10

Yea 200 cars is not really acceptable (coming from 400+ in Forza 4?), but 14 tracks is completely unacceptable, i think the game should be absolutely slammed for it also.
