Sonic

FFX only a 6!
Wipeout Fusion a 5?

Coo, some people aren't going to like that.

Just remember kids, Edge reviews are tougher than most, and it's just an opinion.

And note the Xbox scores, for those of you that believe that the staff of Edge actually live in an Xbox.

Gamecube games were reviewed a couple issues ago SonicRav. Here are the scores as I remember them;

Super Monkey Ball 9/10
Luigi's Mansion 8/10
Wave Race 8/10
Rogue Squadron 7/10
Super Smash Bros Melee 6/10 (I think)

These maybe a little incorrect though.

BEFORE people rant about these scores (some newbies will do any second), let me remind yo how EDGE's scoring works.

5/10 is an average game. In theory, exaclty half of games released should be above this score, and half below... which is how edge judges it. 5/10 does not mean the game is at all bad... just that it's a rehash of old ideas, adding nothing new to the genre. Nothing particuarly bad, nothing particuarly new.

And then 10/10 is an almost unheard of score, meaning that you have gaming perfection- games that push all the boundries- sight, sound, plot, gameplay. Only a handful of games have ever done this: Halo, Zelda OOT, Mario, Goldeneye, and rightly so. If you give 90% to every games (NOM!), then the score becomes meaningless.

I suppose edge do have there own way to review a game. Wipeout Fusion is an average game, while FF10 is above average. FF10 is merely just a updated FF game. I thought they could have at least given it a nice 7 or maybe 8.

Luigi manison has been getting less than 8/10 from alot other places so Edge must like this one. It looks good with a unique gaming experience but other reivews say its abit linear and nothing as ground breaking as Mario 64 was for the N64.

Maximo looks good. I think I may get this instead of Wipeout Fusion, as the demo of Wipeout Fusion I played didnt really grab me. I thought it was good but not a game that is worth a purchase, especially when there are so many other good games coming out soon.

Goldeneye never recieved a 10 mate. It got a 9. Gran Turismo was the other 10 recipient.

as far as i know (flicks open 'top 100 reviews') there have only been 3 10s in Edges world...

Halo
Zelda 64
and something else..

and no the Edge cru dont live in an XBox

There's been 4 man;

Mario 64
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Gran Turismo
Halo

sory my bad my bad
