I disagree with most gamespot reviews

They obviously have a very different taste from me

bold = gamespot , normal = me

Blue Dragon 6.0 - 9.0

Mad Tracks 4.6 - 9.6

They gave shenmue bad scores too - and also they give crappy games higher scores like metroid prime and the new zelda

Yes, they have a different taste then you, it's called an opinion. And those "crappy" games that GS gives high scores (Metroid and Zelda) deserved WAY higher then what they got, but hey, that's just my opinion.

So don't pay attention to them. Everybody is entitled to their opinions. vendettared468

I have problems with reviews in general since your own personal tastes dictate so much of how you like any product. I tend to just read the reviews and watch the videos to make up my mind, the new scores especially are meaningless for the most part. I just know anything below 7 isn't worth considering.

Funny thing is for a couple years, I really liked games that were rated 8.8 for some reason, didn't like games between 8.9-9.4, and loved anything >= 9.5. That was the only time the numbers actually meant anything haha.

I tend to agree with most of Gamespot's reviews. They are critics and they are good at what they do, but if you don't support alot of their ideals, then you might want to find another group of critics who have similar tastes as you.

Haha you and me both...........i used to think i had really really high game standards till i start coming to this site they are really harsh scorers adamus007

Its okay to be a harsh scorer. But when you are inapprioprately harsh then it is a crime. How does Dynasty warriors Gundam get a better score the lair? something is obviously off. How does Bioshock get a better score then gears of war, zelda, all the GTAs, Metal gear solids, Mario games, metroid games? Bioshock is at best an 8! Really the game is "fear" meets "resident evil". Gamespot and IGN are way off these days. They need to fire alot of these reviewers. YOu have to be consistent.

If you're referring to Gamespot's Bioshock Review, you're way off.

Bioshock = 9.0

Gears of War = 9.6

GTA San Andreas = 9.6

And secondly... http://www.gamespot.com/misc/reviewguidelines.html

"Every gaming platform is different, especially in terms of its technical features. However, we believe high-quality gaming experiences are possible on all the gaming platforms that we cover. So we review games against the standards of their respective platforms by implicitly comparing them to other games on that same platform and, to a lesser extent, to other games in that genre. As a result, our ratings of games on different platforms are not intended to be directly compared to one another. However, relative comparisons do apply, so a game that scores poorly is a poor game by any standards, while a game that scores extremely high is an outstanding game by any standards."

Gears of War got 9.6, and it's a 9.3 max IMO,club-sandwich

Well we disagree with you.
