First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-gimme-my-doa dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The first reviews for Xbox 360 games are starting to hit the web! 1UP has reviewed Kameo, Project Gotham Racing 3, FIFA Soccer 2006, NBA 2K6, and Amped 3, while IGN has reviewed Madden NFL 06, Kameo, and NBA 2K6. Judging from both sets of reviews, it looks like Project Gotham Racing 3 - which scored a 10/10 on 1UP - is the only sure winner of the 360 launch games thus far."

  1. A perfect score? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Giving a game perfect score doesn't sound like something a respectable reviewer should do.
    10 out of 10 possible indicates perfection, something that can't be improved. Suppose that a year later,
    the game gets a sequel with some improvements. More cars, more levels - the usual sequel stuff. Shouldn't
    that also receive a perfect score of 10, since it is the same "perfect" game, but just... better?
    I do understand that scores are meant to be read like the bible, that they are just general guidelines and
    that you really need to read the review. But scores are what will be quoted on advertisements, and a pretty clearly hype-influenced perfect score is just sad.
