You see people, don't listen to reviews. Buy it yourself and form your own opinion but if you buy a game you think sucks, its on you. I personally like to up reviews so I get to know a little about the game and its story, possbile glitches, etc.

well the question was more like
"Do you follow reviews as if they were law?"
well there cant be a both option for yes and no
it it was answer that were a bit more abstract then a both option would work

I'm (kinda) outraged that my beloved Chibi-robo Park patrol game only got a 1 out of 5.:(:( so, I'm going to have to answer no.

Re: who else thinks reviews are wrong? - 08-29-08

Well, think of it this way. Reviewers are hired because they have a taste for gaming that reflects the whole of the community. Chances are, they've played games longer than you have, and they know HOW a game becomes fun. While this sounds like a simple science, it actually is EXTREMELY complex, and is one of the great paradoxes of design.

That being said, they, like all of us, are humans. That means that they make mistakes. Keep in mind that they only have about a week to play the game before recording their final thoughts, so in a long-term adventure like Mario Sunshine of Sonic the Hedgehog, they aren't able to experience the collect-a-thon fun of those games.

Not really.

Of course I agree with the Sonic game rating, because Sonic is Sonic. How different could it get?

Everyone appears to hate Sunshine in the reviewing world for some odd reason. They pretty much hate it for the lulz because no one can deny it was one of the best GameCube games.

Of course you can trust the Friendcodes reviews though, 'cause we're kinda strict on fanboyism.

You think the game's good so leave it at that because thats all that matters. And what review are you referring to?
