I'm a Bleach fan, so I decided to get both the DS and Wii Bleach games. Blade of Fate (DS) is absolutely superb... I wish it were the one on the Wii instead, because Shattered Blade (Wii) is supposedly a barebones, so-so fighting game. I don't play the latter much, but I bought it after reading one or two reviews from other sites (I think). GameSpot says it absolutely, flat-out sucks, giving it a 3.5/10, which is by far the lowest score it's received. I agree that it's not really a good fighter (I'm not even sure if it can be considered better than the original DBZ: Budokai), but I think GS's score is overkill. Granted, I don't owna typical 3D fighter, so perhaps I disagree with them simply because I'm a n00b to the genre. But that wouldn't explain other sites' scores. Anyway, I'm not really happy with Shattered Blade, but I'm gonna keep it. These two games are the only licensed ones I've bought new, BTW, so it's not like I'm accustomed to supporting the development of actual crap (which Blade of Fate definitely is not).

The other thing I'm wondering about is RE: UC. GameSpot's score is on the low end for that, even though the complaints weren't huge (IIRC). It looks like maybe the light gun genre is just disliked here. I'm thinkin' about picking this game up, but I've gleaned from people on the GGD that the RE story gets messed up or something.

Anyone have any opinions about the scores on these games, and/or about GS's more recent scoring in general?
