This just proves how biased reviewers are today

[-Aaron]

So..you're assuming reviewers are biased because you don't like the score that they give your "OMG BEST GAME OF ALL TIME" game?

I don't see what the problem is honestly, it's still an excellent score.

But every other Zelda game has a better score than Spirit Tracks. That's bull. Spirit Tracks was pretty much unanimously better than Phantom Hourglass, yet the reviewers gave Spirit Tracks a lower score! It just shows that reviewers are getting more and more biased. You know that something's not right when New Super Mario Bros. for DS gets a better score than New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It's like reviewers are completely ignoring their past scores.

Maybe because it's basically a repeat game and they've already seen most of the stuff before so it doesn't wow them as much...

Sadly, that's how most Nintendo games are nowadays. I miss the glory days of Nintendo when they had fresh, new ideas.

OoT, TP, and WW, are clearly the best three anyway. The rest.. Mehh.

Yeah, I agree. Those are my top favorite. I could play those all day.

Um...no? I'm saying that reviewers are contradicting themselves when they give a game's sequel that's almost unanimously accepted as the better game a lower score than its prequel, in this case Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. The same can be said about New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. The sequels are clearly improved upon the originals, yet reviewers ignore their past scores and give the games and even lower score! I could care less what score games get, I'm just pointing out the direction in which reviewers are going today...

How is that biased though?

Or, It could be that games are getting worse now days.

Have you even played Spirit Tracks? It doesn't matter if it has similar elements to a past game. A review should be based solely on that game, not other games in the series. Spirit Tracks has many improvements upon Phantom Hourglass, so there's no way it should get a lower score.

Biased towards certain games. It's the only reason why they would give games that are clearly improved upon their prequels a lower score.

Yes, but it's part of a game series, and for a series to work, each game needs to offer something new and fresh, If you have the same old formula every time, it get's old fast. So what if ST has a few new things. Overall, it's too much like the previous games.

What?

[m12]

The main reason that I don't look at reviews has to do with the fact that their opinions may not reflect my own. I decide which game is suitable to my interests based off of information on the game, demonstrations, and overall familiarity in controls and plot.

In short, I don't look at reviews because they are exactly what they seem; Biased.

Spirit Tracks is a very enjoyable game, though many may disagree. That's the fact of life.

I find reviews to be somewhat helpful to at least give you an idea what to expect in a game. The final score doesn't matter as much as the article that accompanies it, as long as you get the pros and the cons then i think it's a pretty helpful review.

I would agree with you; However, pros and cons may differ from one person to another. Of course, if you aren't familiar with a certain genre or series, reviews may prove beneficial.

Game quality is on the decline, get over it.

 

[Mr. L]

you're wrong and a troll get over it.

 

[Ciaran]

But Tye, when you've already played so many similar games, it gets kinda boring, and
therefor is less fun, hence the lower scores...

(and the frame rate while you were driving the train was horrible)

 

[Garrett x50 cal]

Are you crying over an 86% score what the *censored.3.0* is wrong with you.

For the last time, I'm NOT a troll. My first account was banned because Miranda said I was posting profanity (which I really wasn't, she must have been looking at the wrong stuff.) When I made my second account I PM'd Miranda about it and she didn't ban me, which means she obviously didn't care. I have no idea why my 2nd account got banned by Comatose. Obviously he didn't see my PM with Miranda.

I don't know why people are having such a fit over me. There are several real trolls on right now. Have you seen the Sarah person?
