No Brawl score because Nintendo didn't get them a reviewable copy in time. polishfor life didn't put every game they reviewed in his post. There were quite a few games that got C's and D's. EGM has been barking for over a year about publishers trying to pressure them on their reviews, and how they have refused and been cut off from certain publishers. So basically, you couldn't be more wrong. Not a terrible magazine, but certainly not what it used to be. The letter scoring system is lame, I'll give you that. I don't buy their line about how letter scoring is easier to understand. I think they are doing it because a "C" is much easier for a publisher to swallow than a "5". |
It is a shame they gave in to that pressure. I know one reviewer gave Assassin's Creed a 4, and I'd give it at least an 8, but I applauded them for speaking freely. I saw the 1up show with the guy that gave it a 4, and he really didn't like the game and doesn't want to play the sequel. Good for him. Everyone is different. Oh well.
