im not defending their score or anything, but i don't think a reviewer should have to complete a game before they review it. by 3-4 hours into a game, you should be getting the jist of it. if its bad for the first 3.5 hours, chances are it'll be just as bad the rest of the game. lifes too short to force yourself to force yourself to finish a bad game, especially when there are sooo many more quality games out there.

again, not a dig at the game at all, i havn't even played it yet.

What would happen if you went into work and told your boss that life was too short to do the crappy parts of your job? Essentially, that is the behavior you are condoning. If you want to review games for a living then you have to slog through the ones you hate, and the ones  you like.

"Well, it says a little about the integrity of the site that they didn't stick to their guns,"

If the review was flawed, it's NOT integrity to deny it. It's stubbornness. Mixing the two up is a tactic created BY stubborn people in order to make themselves look good.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Still doesn't change the 3/10 Gamecritics gave it...

 

Well, Gamecritics invested a whole 3.5 hrs playing it before reviewing it:

Disclosures: This game was obtained via publisher and reviewed on the Wii. Approximately 3.5 hours of play were devoted to the single-player mode, and the game was not completed. There are no multiplayer modes.

That says all about their professional level.

Well, in this particular case the review score is by far the lowest score listed on metacritic. Considering the metacritics rating of 80, 30 simply should mean that either the reviewer isn't objective (or better said highly subjective) or he didn't do his job right. Or both.

You did essentially say "I cannot prove you wrong".

...because I personally suck at debating. I'm sure someone more experienced than me could, however. I know exactly what I wanna say, I can't put it in to words,however.

I really dislike the mentality that a review sucks if it deviates from metacritic/gamerankings.
