Re: Soapbox: Why Websites Don’t Need to Give a Game a Review Score (and Probably Shouldn’t)

@Dakt Absolutely.

Besides, games can only be compared to their genre. How many titles get reviewed solely based on multiplayer? Based on platformers and previous releases?

In 2004, many of the reviews simply explained why the game was good/bad.

I remember Metroid Prime Echos being chided for limited multiplayer at the END of reviews. The rest was comparing it to the precious title.

I do remember some of those reviews comparing it to Halo 2, but they stressed how different the games were.

It is dangerous to allow publishers to dictate how the market responds, by creating and prolonging fads.

Great post.

This game is horrible. I cannot get passed single digit frame rates.

It is so bad, that it has inspired my first post here. Words cannot accurately describe how awful this is.
