"Wht doesn't Edge magazine like the PS2 ?"

Flicking through the latest issue (in Smiths) I noticed these scores...

Tony Hawks 3 - 7/10
SSX Tricky - 7/10
MGS2 - 8/10

Are they always this harsh with every console/review ?
What do they want for their money ?

Words, you see, say more than numbers.

To prove my point, make sense of this.

876.

See?

I never pay much attention to review scores, but rather the content of the review itself. I know what I like, and if the game description in the review appeals to me, then I', likely to by it, regardless of the overall score.

That's it on the head. Choose a mag that reflects your own tastes.

The thing is, folks, these reviewers are only human, and have an opinion to express. If an Edge reviewer thinks it's only a 7/10 game it doesn't mean that you won't think it's a 9/10, or something else.

Well, as an Edge subscriber, I can assure you they are.

Don't mind Edge being harsh, as long as they are consistent across all platforms.

Why's that? Because Halo got a 10?

This is the one I believe the most....

In my opinion Edge reviews are some of the best around.

Maybe because all the titles you mentioned were sequels?

Anyway, 7 and 8's are pretty good scores by Edge standards...
