What was Gamespot's worst review?

[QUOTE="LookAnDrolL"]MW2, how ? just how Diablo II: game is epic, even without LOD; is just great for a 8.5 Deus Ex: words fail STALKER: Buggy yes, but not that buggy THPS3: give me a breaklightleggy

Which is still rather high. Unless of course now an 8.5 is considered a crap score.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="VendettaRed07"]

Majora's Mask is a masterpiece. And SMG2 is fantastic.

fueled-system

the original deus ex, which topped many "greatest games of all time" lists, getting an 8.2

[QUOTE="senses_fail_06"] Editor's Note: This review previously contained incorrect information about receivers' routes appearing as squiggly lines. What we believed to be a glitch is, in fact, a feature to show how nervous a quarterback is. GameSpot regrets the error. OMFG :lol: senses_fail_06

I stand corrected. That is easily the worst review. Why is this guy still employed?

[QUOTE="ShyGai"]

Out of this gen, GTA4.

Out of all the games, FF8.

lightleggy

You have terrible taste. FF8 was easily the weakest PS1 FF game, tho still good. The draw/juntion system was a mess. And FF7 a 4.5? You're ridiculous.

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

[QUOTE="Xaero_Gravity"]Tools of Destruction was another terrible review. Too much variety as a complainant is just ridiculous.AmazonTreeBoa

Why do people insist on misinterpreting that review? He didn't simply dock the game for having variety. He said it had variety to a fault, meaning that the variety made it that the game didn't play to its strengths, the shooting and platforming, as much as he would have liked. It's a perfectly legit complaint. Variety is not always a good thing.

I've played and beat the game. The review was fine.

Mario Kart 7 (Did they REALLY give it an 8? Just realized this)

[QUOTE="fueled-system"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] lol no its not and no is not. I hate games in which I must "race against the clock". SMG2 was more of the same (SMG1 which in my book is not very different from the previous 3d mario games) lightleggy

I am gonna throw Assassins Creed 1 into the mix it's garbage.

Fire Emblem: Raidant Dawn's review was a joke.

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes.

Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing for PC, tested January 14th 2004 got a 1.0

And it's the ONLY one that EVER got a 1.0 in that list. Afterwards comes a lot 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and so on....

Sonic Unleashed was given a score LOWER than Sonic 06. A 3.5/10

Are they mad!?

Anyone with a brain knows that Sonic Unleashed was a step in the right direction. The game was very enjoyable.

Everyone has Sonic Unleashed to thank for Sonic's comeback.

Deus Ex. An 8.2? Really?! It's pretty much the best game ever made.

Demon's souls getting a 9.0. It was good fun, but the game has almost idiotic design choices that just shouldn't have been. Voice acting was awful, and the story was practically non existent.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, not only I take issue with the lack of motion control and Miis comment, but I also take issue of the "laughable" story comment. I thought the story was decent (no ridiculous plot twists nor cliches), but agree with Lark Anderson (who reviewed the game) that the villains are often two-dimensional. In fact, one of the villains was a general that had close likeness to Commodore Perry who is responsible of forcing Japan to open to the West in 1853.

I wont say it was the worst, but MGS4s review was extremely unprofessional.

KV is usually good and even when I don't agree with his reviews I can see some logic... but with MGS4 he just threw all objectivity out the window and gushed like a fangirl.

Sonic Unleashed sucked balls.

The daytime levels might have been enjoyable, but the Werehog levels, which made up most of the game, were a disaster. I dreaded playing a Werehog level when I was playing through Unleashed.

Metroid Prime 3. They deducted points from it because it's controls were too good. Silenthps

No, they didn't. They said that it was too easy due to the controls, not that the controls were too good.

[QUOTE="free_milk"]

MGS4 and GTA 4 both 10s :lol:

Miroku32

I also agree! I was always confused when playing both of those games. I just did not understand why any of them got a 10, or even above a 7.5

RE6 and Zelda SS should've score higher but w/e, further shows how bad GS is at scoring games.

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn comes to mind.

Majoras Mask was odd too. Funny how Jeff would review that and then TP later. :P

EDIT: I forgot about FFVIII. :lol:

That game should have been no higher then a 6. It was terrible overall.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]

assassin's creed getting a 9

Zensword

I thought it was ok but not a 9.

Another game I believe he reviewd that I disagreed with was No More Heroes. I like NMH but that game has a lot of issues. How did it get a 9 over other beterr 3rd party Wii games?

I didn't like the Skyward Sword one.

I guess it wasn't a terrible review, but it seemed to greatly excentuate the negative aspects of the game while minimizng the game's MANY positive aspects.

Also it was greatly skewyed by the fact that Tom didn't like the motion controls.

Zelda Skyward Sword, Gamespot outdid themselves after the Twilight Princess review, expect a 4 in Zelda Wii U just for attention.King_Dodongo

I would have scored TP a little higher, but I thought most of the review was ok. Some questionable stuff, but nothing out of the ordinary.

The SS review was just a joke. If only I could be an incompetent twit and still keep my job. Gaming journalism seems like a dream. I could probably just not play the game at all, write an opinion and still get paid lol.

Meinhard1

More like the fact that he never figured out how they worked lol. I'm surprised he was able to make it through the game playing the way he did.

I'd say inFAMOUS 2.

Cheleman

Agreed Infamous 2 is a awesome game, GS's review was pure BS.

RE6 a 4.5. It deserves twice the points :DMr_Cumberdale

I havent played RE6, but from what I've seen/heard its far better than a 4.5. More like a 7.5, or 8 it seems.

The worst GS reviews I can think of in recent years would be MGS4 and Skyward Sword. Both the written reviews and number scores were far off.

game_masta14

HAHAHAHAHAHA, YES!

A 6/10 is generous with the amount of crap that game has. To give it a 9.5 is a joke.

i got several now

1 -mariokart 64 -how dare they ,

2 timesplitters 3 future perfecrs bias review on gamecube -7.6 vs that 8.5 it got on ps2 xbox, same game little to no differences ,

3 perfect dark zero a 9 really for a game that has way less content then its prodecessor way bad well the fact it takes 20 bullets or more to kill ai in multiplayer omg , bad a 6.5 worthy product

4 gta iv , no planes no customizations nothing that made san andreas so great and the kicker is san andreas got a 9.5 i think and a 8.9 on ps2 ,

5 mgs iv , that wasnt even a game i consider it a movie 9.5 quality at least

6 halo its getting so stale same ol same ol no additions - yet still gets 8.5 how can a game with little to no improvment keep getting a 8.5 same for call of duty , far worst actually ,

call of duty as stated prior , ---all it is =reskinned 007 affairs !

8 now my eight is nsmb 2 ---- god where they on drugs a 6.5 for this masterpiece -reminds me of that mariokart 64 review not much thought put into it yet theyll give a game that actually is reskinned-cod a continous 8.5 with each passing installment lol

9 forza horizon , -good game but my god its not that good it has half the cars , plays like a test drive unlimited rip off and doesnt have that tdu 2 staple ---massive online racing how can you have a free roam game like that and not have a mode like tdu

10 goldeneye reloaded - after being a messed up port of the wii game , honestly they tossed out the time trials and put in 30 crappy challenges in its place not much was improved visually dispite 360 being more powerful then the wii there are few other examples of this being done -early in the gen though -such as bully se and god father ,
