...that Gamespot's DS ratings are a little off? most of the criteria (i.e. gameplay, tilt) judges well, but no DS game has gotten an 8 or above in the Graphics category (exception to a few, maybe Metroid Prime Hunters I think). I'm a little ticked off because Gamespot needs to judge the graphics on what the system is capable of, not what Gamespot wants to see. I personally think Metroid Prime Hunters and Mario Kart have the best 3-D graphics on the DS, and yet Gamespot still scored them low.......hmmm...

thoughts?

First you said you thought Metroid Prime hunters was one of the few games given an 8.0 or above in graphics and then later stated that GS scored this game low. Actually it got an 8 for graphics. Mario Kart, overall the best rated game for the Ds with a 9.2 gets a 9 for graphics. You said GS also scored this game low. It would have only taken a minute to double check the scores before posting. Now go do your homework!

I think graphics should include ART DIRECTION. Like Mario and Luigi PIT has good art direction. Spectrobes does not.
