Review scores are pointless if a game is good just say you liked it, also how can a game like MW2 get 90 somethin but a game that has a good story, dialog and gameplay get 70 or 80.
IGN are just terrible when it come to reviews thats why i like the people on this website, they get reviews right.
You can't spell IGN without ignorance.
How the hell can someone get a review "right"? A review is a collection of one person's
opinion on a game, and assuming you've had no contact with the game beforhand, how do you know how the game should be reviewed?
Seriously, people take a completely wrong route with reviews. You don't just look at one review and dictate that this game sucks/rules or that this particular reviewer sucks/is the only right one out of the bunch. You look at all the reviews put out, deduce the general thoughts of the game, and go from there. If every reviewer is saying that the graphics are amazing, but one or two says that it's complete shit, you don't have to take much consideration in that. If there are an equal amount of reviews saying that the controls can be wonky, then you should take that into account. If most reviewers say that the story is a POS, but one says that they were deeply moved, take that into consideration.
That's how reviews should be looked at. Not as separate entities of "right" and "wrong"
opinions, but as a collection of thoughts from the general public.
OT: It's a shame for Medal of Honor, I was thinking about buying it to spite the controversy, but now I'm not so sure. I hope it does moderately well, though, I never wish ill on a developer.
