i just desided to take a look at the halo 3 review to see if it was worth buying a 360 for, and was seriously taken aback on one little tidbit. "halo 3 is simmeler to its predesessors on the Xbox, but adds enough new wepons and stuff to make it feel like an all new game"

wow, and metroid got docked marks for being to simmeler to its predesessors, metroid added plenty of new wepons and abilities, such as...

hyper mode (this is4 upgrades itself, if you include the hyper beam, hyperball, hyper missle, and hyper grapple in hypermode)

jumpball

nova beam

combo xray and thermal visor

hazard sheild.

this has made me loose a little more fath in gamespot because they are supose to be inpersonal of the games system or origins, but do this.

You aren't the only person to think this. It happens all the time with major reviews.

Corruption deserved a 9.0, but I do agree with their Halo 3 review.

Reviews shouldn't stop you from enjoying a game. Who cares what some reviewers think? (although they are right most of the time).

Don't like the scores? Write your own review. Again, NO one is stopping you from enjoying games, despite the scores that are given. They are just numbers after all.

2 different reviewers, 2 different opinions, 2 different review scores.

Those upgrades in MP3 you listed are very incremental and are pretty much standard fare for any sequel. Halo 3 actually has some pretty innovative stuff like the replays and the forge.

I have come to realize that the scores really don't matter. I like FPS so I like Halo 3, but I didn't get it cuz of 9.5. Long as it's for you, what the hell does Gamespot score matter?

Considering its average critic review is hovering right around the 95% mark, I'd say Gamespot actually nailed that game's review spot on. Oh that was a bad pun wasn't it. . .

the fact is that the game is built on pretty much last gen hardware, so barely adds anything to the formula that was already stale in the lackluster sequel to the original (which was great) if the game play was already stale in the sequel and nothing HUGE was added...what did you expect?

I wouldn't say they're bias, but I pointed this out to Casey and a couple other members two-three days ago. MP3 should definately not have been docked for being "similar to it's predecessors." Especially when Halo adds a few weapons/vehicles and doesn't get docked for it, while everything in MP3 is different besides the core gameplay (just like Halo, although many things in Halo are the same).

Oh wow. I think you may be on to something here. Oh, no wait, nevermind. Heavenly Sword review came out on September 10, and the game released on the 12th,...so I guess Gamespot is biased towards Sony as well?

Prime is worth a 9, see all the user reviews on ign they average 9.2. Ign gave at 9.5, where as Gamerrankings.com give it an avg of 9.1.

built on last gen hardware, if you knew jack all about the game you would have known that it was built for wii from the ground up, mp2 was a bit of a letdown ofter the first, but it was still good, and you don't call hypermode HUGE?

Metroid Prime did deserve Higher, I'll give you that. It was a great experience. But if you've played Halo 3, youalso know that deserved it's score.

Metroid Prime deserved higher than it got, it is a great game. And Halo deserved the score it was given.
