If you could change one of Gamespot's scores which score from which title would you change and why?

You can change the score to go up or down, whatever you think the game deserved. Please only pick one so that there aren't long lists of games in each post.

The score that I would change:

FFIX was as good as FFVIII for me, so I'd move the score up from 8.5 to 9.5/10.

Anyway, what about you guys? If you could change the score for one game that Gamespot has reviewed, how would you change it and why would you so? What do you guys think?

I completely forgot about Legend of Dragoon! Now that was a good game. It wasn't just GS that gave it a low mark unfortunately. I remember many critics hated the game for some reason.

I'll say 9.5-9.7...Probably 9.7 by today's standards. Eh, how about 9.8 to beat Gears of War. :P

I would give Gears of War probably a 9.2 or 9.1, (old GS rating.) It was NOT the best game that year...at least to my standards. Hey, I admit I love Gears of War and enjoy playing the offline version, but it's not worth of a 9.6 rating, imo.

Halo 2.

It was simply inferior to the original. Deserved no more than an 8.9.

SOTC was amazing. I only just played Ico recently actually and thought it was great too. Pity the games don't sell well, people really need to get playing these amazing games.

Can't wait to see what Team ICO has in store for the PS3.

I'd probably drop GeOW to 9.2. Lots of little tweaks here and there. GS hasn't been way way off in a review since last gen though.

Actually scrap that to Halo2 down to 7.6 with Halo:CE with a solid 10. Biggest dissapointment of my gaming life all around the board.

Wow I totally forgot GS moved to .5 system I just remembered that.

I would change MK64 from a 6.2 or whatever the heck it got to a 10. EVERYTHING about that game was brilliant. The SP was solid and challenging. Track design was creative, and there were tons of secrets to figure out and exploit. The MP was PHENOMENAL. The sound was splendid to listen to. Graphics were some of the best at the time of its release...... there wasn't anything wrong with that game. It's one of my top 10 of all time without question.

You could just right-click on where the image should be and click Properties.

And it is Shenmue. Never played it.

Actually, GS should have changed their scoring system to make a negative score possible. :|

none, i dont give gamespot scores very much credibility.

Look how badly gamespot choked with their review of zelda TP, which is clearly a triple A title in the eyes of the gaming world

gamespot does have many redeeming qualitys that make up for it though

  1. Street Fighter III New Generations = 7.4
  2. Street Fighter III 2nd Impact Giant Attack = 7.2

Are those reviews an F'N joke? Street Fighter III is practically the pinacle of the 2D Fighting Genre. Garou Mark of Wolves recieved a 8.5 and is regarded as inferior to Street Fighter III. Ah well.

Simply go to "top games" click "all-time" and the select "all platforms"

The results will SHOCK YOU

TONY FREAKIN HAWK'S all over the top 5 even Dreamcast port got 9.9

WTF!!!!

NFL 2K was good and better than Madden but no way it belongs in top 10-15

I have found an irregularity that from 1999 to 2000, Gamespot was handing out perfect 10s and 9.9s like there was no tommorow? LOL Y2K maybe?
