"having sacrificed racing intergrity in double dash to side with social silliness, Nintendo has turned 180 degress into an akward halfway house"

Agreed. I mean, Dark Sector outscored it..

The one thing that I do appreciate about Edge, however, is that they're not afraid to use the full review scale. A 5 for them means a game is average, whereas everywhere else a 5 means the game is ****. Dark Sector outscoring it does seem a tad odd, I agree. I was expecting them to rip it apart.

I may not own a PS3 but I would never hope to see a big release like MGS4 flop just so I could say haha at PS3 owners, I think fanboys who hope for games to flop are kinda pathetic. Not pointing fingers at anyone here, just talking in general.

And I can't go by Edge scores, they review good games to badly alot of the time. It's like they hate 99% of games or something.

If you can't see my point look a little closer. All I'm saying is don't use Famitsus scores to hype games, they are sometimes way off.

All so called proffesional gaming mags and review sites have reviews that make you scratch your head, which is why I don't take much notice of them anymore. If you know you will have fun with a game like Mario kart on the Wii you don't need review scores. If you know you will enjoy MGS4 why do you need some reviewer to tell you how much he liked it?.

Reviews are just one persons opinion, they really don't mean much at the end of the day.

Edge is harsh. Look at its other scores it's been getting. We know it'll be a good game, no doubt. Atleast they showed Dark Sector respect, though.;)

They gave a game 37/40 when the game has 77% on gamerankings. So gamespot wasn't off when they gave Mario Kart 64 a 6.4?

I am NOT hating on Mario Kart here all I'm saying is don't use Famitsus score and expect similar scores in the US market.

It looks like Edge either thinks of 6 as good or just has no idea what they are talking about. Other reveiws average at a high 8 or low 9, so it just seems idiotic. But hey, let them have their opinions.

It's not a trick, it's an exploit. Snaking is not boosting in corners, snaking is the continues boosting while running down a track, this is a pretty hard technique to master and it obviously wasn't meant to be in the game.

Snaking is an exploit that took alot of the fun out of the game. I'm pretty good at snaking - but I think it's idiotic that it's possible.
