Generally, I don't take issue with the way Gamespot does their reviews. In fact, most of them are right on the money. However, when it comes to virtual console games, they seem to forget what they're reviewing. Virtual Console games are old and the hardware they were originally designed to play on had limitations. Obviously, if you compare a virtual console game to an xbox 360 game (or even a PS1 game) there are going to be a lot of things that are lacking. A big example I just ran across (which prompted this writing) is Breath of Fire II for the SNES. While not as good as some other old-school RPGs, the Breath of Fire series was always one of my favorites. While it does have some translation issues, what old-school japanese game didn't? This was just par for the course in the 90s. Maybe instead of giving it a 6.5 because it doesn't meet today's standard, they should have considered the fact that it wasn't designed to meet today's standards and rated it against other games of its era.
