I like average review scores to determine if a game's worth buying or not. My general rule is if it averages 90-100 it's a definite buy, 80-89 is a probable buy, 70-79 is a maybe buy and anything less than that is usually avoided.
I agree with topic title but not your post. I think review scores suck in general. There are plenty of Wii PS3 and 360 games that got to high scores, not only a specific console.
Reviews just suck just like what Auron said. If you like the game play it, if not then don't play.
You as a gamer shouldn't listen to anyone's else opinion. You as a gamer should play the game and then you make the review of the game on your personal experience.
Your experience with the game will increase your understanding of not either playing that type of game anymore or playing.
Only 75% of the time do I trust reviews. Like if it got a 1/10, I would definatly know that there was something wrong.
| Million said: Anyone who bases their purchase of a game purley on reviews is *insult* , Reviewers aren't any better than us at analysing how good a game is , it's not a skill. The only real way to found out wether or not youl like a game is to watch the gameplay,screenshots see if they gameplay and graphics are apealing and then if your still not sure give it rent. There's many games that i've enjoyed that received low scores and in the same vein there's many games i've disliked that received high scores , don't make the assumption you'll like it because some one else does. Everyone saying "Omg AAA titles" is just a deluded fanboy. |
I totally agree with this... Wii Sports is a classic example along with Endless Ocean that reviewers scores are BS.

None of the reviewers really played through the whole game. They probably played chapter 1 and 2 and wrote a review on their impressions. Read destructoid`s review for the game. The slut did not even finish the first chapter of the game. Yes, I am very pissed with FE reviews the game deserves a 8 minimum.

Not at all. I think gamerankings is the best to get an overall score for most games.
Game reviewers are probably paid to give reviews and do not give reviews based on merit.
I usually find reviews helpful for games in well-established genres, where there's a clear standard for what makes a good game: FPS, RTS, JRPG, WRPG, platformer, etc.
I don't usually find reviews helpful for unusual games or games targeted outside the "core gamer" demographic.
Well some thing that I noticed in game rankings/metacritics is that if you go through the reviewer's websites ,,you will notice some of the UNKOWN websites are wayyy off ,,,it seems that they even didn't play the game ,,Almost like they were paid to drop the average review score
let's take a look at an example for uncharted,,,which got 89.7% ,,All the reviews were above 80 except for 1 taht gave it 65/100(A/V ONION CLUB)WHAT THE HELL IS THAT WEBSITE ANYWAYS?,,,their reason:
"Frustration sets in when: Roots, rocks, and waterfalls look great, but as soon as the camera focuses on a face, the whole illusion is lost. If the characters weren't written so woodenly, it would be a bit easier to overlook their rubber faces.
Final judgment: A shiny, hollow bauble.
" which is not true at all
so it draged the META score low for no reason,,,
What do I do?
I only trust IGN and read their reviews to see if it makes sense
