Game's value is based upon the norms of the genre. A 30 hour JRPG with no other replay value is not going to score more than a 10 hour FPS because the norms of the two genres are different. Just the same way that JRPG's are not looked at for online multiplayer while FPS's are.

And I fail to see how Presentation is dominated by Japanese games, I'll have to admit you lost me on that one.

Then may i ask why God of War PSP only recieved a 6.0 in value? As for presentation, I still don't get what VGchartz considers presentation to be. I always thought it was how the game was presented like the games style and just the little things like awesome boss music that fits the situation, for example; things like creativity and level design and attention to detail. This is often were Japanese games thrive.

GoW got a 6.0 because it is short even for an adventure game, has little replay value, and Max didn't think it was worth a second playthrough.

Read above for what Presentation is about.

@nordlead: I agree, it also undoubtedly has something to do with the quality of those hours spent. That's why the category isn't just "length".

@Riot: I think that Presentation doesn't favor Japanese games, really, since it's a conglomeration of style, graphics, sound, and what have you. Value certainly doesn't - if it were just length, WRPGs would conquer the universe.

Different genres.

VGChartz has no need for bias here, especially when the reviewers aren't always the same people. They are legitimacy in the purest form to me. I agree with them all.

I Fed-Exed you a cookie. It should be arriving within the hour.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I just like reading other people's opinions. Sometimes, flaws that one reviewer will complain about don't bother me. Other times, something they'll barely mention will intrigue me and convince me to buy a game. It's all about thhe text, not the score. VGChartz reviews are pretty well written. The only downside is that I usually already own the game by the time it gets reviewed!!
