Not the only game they've done that to. Check out Mario Kart 64.

Hence, why you cannot trust gamespot alone. Or really, any source alone.

They gave Gotcha Force, a 5.

I'M STILL PLAYING IT, AFTER 4 YEARS.

WWF No Mercy is another game that got shafted by Gamespot too. Ask any avid wrestling fan what the greatest wrestling game ever made is. And chances are, they'll tell you No Mercy.

Well, when GS gives Metal Gear Solid an 8.2, Chrono Cross a 10, and Super Smash Bros (N64) a 7, when they gave Metal Gear Solid 2 a 9.6, and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves a 9.1, and Chrono Cross (AKA Poop) a 10, you know something is up. :P

GS is weird that way. 95% of the time, their reviews are authoritative, objective and precise.  Well, they're always objective...

Anyway, then there are these times where a game receives just an off-the-wall review.  THPS2 getting a perfect 10, that AOE review, or something else like it.

In a way it's admirable, if you think about it - they don't pay attention to general consensus when reviewing a game, they just put it in the disc slot, play the hell out of it, then review. 

In the end, that stuff isn't important.  If you want to play Zelda, you're going to play Zelda.  If you want to play Crackdown, you're going to play Crackdown.

Or what about Ogre Battle 64. A mere 9.1/10. They should have given it a 32/10 at least.

That review still puzzles me. Nintendo tries something new with Zelda by giving it a different story that doesn't focus around Zelda and main bad guy that is not Ganondorf/Ganon, which is a good thing IMO, but Jeff only awards it with an 8.3 saying it was too different from Ocarina of Time. Then Twilight Princess comes along, and Jeff awards it with an 8.9 and 8.9 saying it was too much like Ocarina of Time. I mean what do you want? I understand it is his opinion and all, and I can respect that, but it just leaves me confused everytime.

some people here will still take gamepsot's word as the gospel and consider the 68% score to be fact while completely disregarding the other scores

its scary to see how seriously some people take gamespot scores here

I find that 'Jeff' and 'Bad Review' go hand in hand far too often. Perhaps it is time he 'retired'

III was ok but it didn't have the personality the second did.

 Maybe the reason I didn't like the first is beacuse I had played the second before it and the new features in that game had spoiled me...

we're talking about AOE, which was very revolutionary for RTS games and Gamespot give it a 6.8.

any downloadable content that isnt a free mod or free map pack should lower a games rating.

That's true, but Oblivion wasn't a GameCube game so you can cut Zelda at least a little slack when it comes to having online features off the bat . Also, Nintendo did say it had plans for downloadable content for Zelda. You can find the Interview with Nintendo's George Harrison here.
