eXciteBots. sadly underrated, but amazing gameplay. I sunk 500 hours into it to come to that conclusion. It very much destroys mario kart and is also a 1st party game.The best racers this gen are Forza and Mario Kart.

That would be personal preference.. lol It doesn't do much good to just tell people what the two highest scores are, we can look for ourselves. :o If there's no discussing personal preference in this thread, we're basically talking about how nice the numbers look in the review score..by score yes but personal preference nah.

In the forum, yes. Coming up with topics for people to talk about is entirely up to topic creators.
I'll go along though.. Mario Kart and Forza have both had really good games. There, don't get too carried away in discussion! :P
But isn't talking about which one is a better high score bringing up your personal 'bias' that you said no to previously?

We can discuss which of the 8.5 games are better and stuff like that but scores matter here. Scores matter to who? The same scores are consistently also brought into question when we get the usual "how did x game score higher than y" or "B game is overrated" or "C game clearly only got that score because of lower standards that year". Scores are a meaningless number, and just saying such and such game is better because of it is flawed. There needs to be you know reasoning, logic, and a rational thought process or argument behind why such and such is better.
[QUOTE="razgriz_101"]You mean YOUR personal BIAS. By Score it's Forza and Mario Kart and that's what we go by. And the score was chosen by someone with a personal opinion on each part of the game, if an impatient reviewer did the review for GT5 it would have gotten about 6.0... If a very patient person reviewed it and didn't mind the waiting then it'd probably score more, if he had bad eyesight then he probably wouldn't notice the visual difference... So score isn't a good judge on a better game, it just shows what the reviewer thought about it. Although if any i'd say PGR4 i love that game and still play it the odd time so yeah definitely a good game and deserved a good score. I never played Forza so can't really comment on it but i cant see it being too much different from GT5 other than slight visuals.by score yes but personal preference nah.
Fried_Shrimp
going by scores yeah whatever is, going by what i had th most fun with it's dirt 2, moto gp and pgr4.
Review scores do NOT = fact guys.
Anyway my favorate racing series this gen is probably Dirt or GRID. Both made by CODEMASTERS.
Codemasters have been MEH since they stopped making Dizzy games.Review scores do NOT = fact guys.

Dirt series and Grid got many great scores. The PC version of Grid and Dirt 2 are high AA at gamerankings.

End Thread. Great post!

ok ignorance seems to be your policy doesnt it?
im not biased against forza i have played and completed 1, played a fair bit of 2 and enjoyed playing 3.Neither am i biased against mario kart which i actually own.So before you start your malarky i implore you to kindly stop trying that troll bait on pal.
Just cause i agreed with it being by score but remembber were not ALL robots and follow what is gamespot gospel round here even you yourself are one of those i mean cmon your sig none of those games were any higher rated than other games in their genre or respective consoles but you deem them underrateed.
Pot calling the kettle black? indeed it is.
The racing is so mediocre though, and the controls aren't anywhere near as tight or as responsive. Plus the standard track design is so uninspired it isn't even funny. Modnation is more like a poor man's Mario Kart if anything.Modnation Racer's is a better kart racer than both Mario Kart's. Stop abusing review scores please

Ahh...i still have some Dizzy games for my Amiga500! Good times :)
But no, Codemasters are still great devs ;)
Mario Kart... WII!?
That was
Without a doubt
The worst game I've ever played.
Switch it with the new Need for Speed, DiRT, Burnout, or Grid.
My top 2 are Pure, and Dirt 2.... All time would be Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge 8) hated paradise btw. Oh and I hated Mario Kart on the Wii, the DS version was miles better.
I don't care about scores.
GS gave Legend of Dragoon a 6.4 but I thought the game was better than FFVII.
Heck most members gave it around a 9.
They also gave Strange Journey a 6 when that was one of my top DS games and most people felt that way too.
Scores are also based on bias and taste.
It's not like the GS editors are robots who use some complicated algorithm to get a score.
Sad lemmings trying to rub it in. :P
Its a shame though, despite thinking they have the best racer on their console none of them are even playing it.

haha nah personal preference all the way... Forza 3 and GT5 :)
Dirt 2. Under-appreciated. :(shalashaska88I feel ya man. Got that game on Steam for $5 yesterday. I'm lovin' it.
Thats because you havent given FM3 a try:) Its one of the most accessible racers EVER, and as you get more comfortable youll turn off assists. I never ever dreamed of playing with them off and a force feedback wheel but given the games customisation, it eases you in.Don't care for Forza since I can't get into racing sims. Burnout Paradise and Mario Kart DS are the best to me, and I will see if Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit can top them along with Dirt 2.
