Not saying anything either way, but Gamepro has a history of softball reviews. They just gave GodFather 2 a perfect score as well.

Review Summary -

"Ninja Blade is a game full of awesome moments. It's not incredibly deep and it won't redefine the genre but it's a kick-ass title that will please action junkies looking for an adrenaline kick. It does a great job of making you feel like the star of a blockbuster action flick. It's easily one of the best action games I've ever played on the Xbox 360. Now, go play it or I'll hunt you down and Todome your ass back to fifth grade."

- and still it get's a perfect score? isn't that reserved for incredibly deep games that redefine the genre?

No, I'm pretty sure it got a perfect score because the reviewer had a hell of a lot of fun playing it.  Which is pretty much all the criteria a game needs.  The only reason one would take not being incredible deep and won't redefine the genre as a means to lower the score would be if that made the game less fun or less fun after extended play.  Which, in this case, was not the case.

I think his reasoning was to say that this review means nothing.  Apparently, reviews only mean something when they go with the flow.

Uhh sorry bout that but I just couldn't help not notice the irony. But you are right, this is a thread about Ninja Blade we should not mention anything else here.

 Well, I had much fun with bladestorm, but I would never think of giving it more than 60%.
