And there is the inherent problems with reviews.

The Cube has no online focus, so to deduct points for that and point that out shows that the reviewer has failed at his job.

Question is though, did they deduct points because of that or is it just a comment about his dissapointment with no online play in general on GC?
And I doubt they scored Halo 2 less because the game isn't an inifinity long.

IF the scores were real....

Cube people are upset over Metroid Prime 2 scoring 10,9.5,9.5? That would be a great review score for a game.

 

[Eric-GCA]

Yeah, if it was a real score, 10, 9.5, 9.5 is a great score.

Just for comparisons sake (even though it is a fake score) what did the original Metroid Prime score in EGM?

 

[COCKLES]

Sounds legit to me, Halo 2 beating out GTA: San Andreas for GOTM? Oh snap!

Master Chief saving humanity from extermination vs pissed off black men with uzis.

Was it ever a competition?

 

[Speevy]

The people that posted these (if they're fake) are bastards.

Metroid Prime, Halo, and GTA VC all got Platinum (three 10s).

 

[AniHawk]

these scores are not real.

MP2 is knocked down MUCH further for not having OL.

We were just about to get ready for a 50 page thread Damnit...

Oh well, thanks for clearing that up Skip!

 

[Speevy]

Aren't there EGM staff people on this forum that can confirm or deny this stuff?

 

[AniHawk]

Please don't hurt me.

Like skip...who just did?

Yes. The guy said they are real.

You are a sick human being.

Oh. Don't mind me. I'm stupid.

That is what I thought you wrote when I first read it.

10 10 10 10

You're kidding right? I didn't recall it was that well received by EGM. If it was then, cool. I guess MP really was universally enjoyed by the critics then

 

[Sullichin]

Yeah.. I know Mark (Marc?) goes here. Want to confirm or deny please?


Eric-GCA, MP did indeed score 10 10 10 from EGM. I'm positive.

Who the hell are these guys?

 

[Sullichin]

It´s true, they gave the GOTM nod to Halo however.

Uh, no. Halo came out a full year before MP did.

Most anti-nintendo review i ever seen.....

 

[The Main Event]

Mario Power Tennis: 8.0, 8.5, 8.5
Good: Intensely fun multiplayer matches...
Bad:but they aren't online

So I guess we're all expecting the same score for Gran Turismo 4 then.

 

[COCKLES]

Master Chief is black....even if he isn't.

MC is like Cleopatra. Everyone can 'claim him'.

[fennec fox]

Baten Kaitos: 7.5, 9.0, 8.0
Good: It'll please RPG aficionados...
Bad: ...but definitely not newbies
Final: 81.66 = 82%

They said that they liked the art style and storyline but the battle system was too slow-paced and boring.

I did not!

 

[Rocket Punch]

Uh, no. Halo came out a full year before MP did.

Wow, I'm on drugs WHEEEE...

 

[LukeSmith]

Wow, I'm on drugs WHEEEE...

is that a tag you're requesting, sir?

 

[Catalyst]

Complaining about no online multiplayer is fucking stupid :lol. What the fuck do you expect, a network service like Xbox Live? Fuck that shit, I think anyone who complains about no online for GameCube games in their reviews should be castrated, shot, and given the guillotine on sight. It's a given, goddammit.

 

[Stinkles]

These fake scores are such bullshit. I think that the non-EGM fake score troll is teh bias! Come on! How dare he fake a fake score for Metroid that isn't teh 11.

He has this awesome faking technology at his fingertips, yet refuses to use it to give Metroid a previously impossible score. It's like banning stem-cell research.

 

[ferricide]

I did not!

me either.

So the mystery of just what keeps Mario Tennis from being the best tennis game ever despite the fact that it looks fantastic will be withheld for at least a few days.
