It may have been suggested before, but I see this feature on reader reviews.. "1 out 3 users agree" and think its a cool little feature that should be added to GameSpot reviews. Sure, we can rate a game quickly on a little scale of 1 to 10, and see if this number coincides with critics' scores, as well as GameSpot's own, but that only tells of the score.

To be able to put a number up there that would show if people agreed or disagreed with the content of the review, rather than a number, would not only be an interesting value to see, but helpful to others. If gamer A skims over scores and only glances at reviews, they may pass on a game due to GS' quirky review system. But if they see "199 out of 223 gamers" agree with this review and it got an 8.5 (Wii game or something, heh) it may be a bit more helpful at the aforementioned glance.

Just a thought.

Maybe I'm becoming too crotchety, but I think if people don't bother reading the text review and make their buying decisions based solely on score, they deserve what they get.
