The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
A certain PS2 magazine, namely the offical mag, does not always tell the situation as it should be. Take for example the game "Midnight Street racer" the magazine give the game a 4 out of 10 but they said the game wasn't that bad, so the problem is people will see the score and just won't read the rest of the review causeing the game to not sell.
I have played the game and it is very good, its a lot like Midtown Madness on the PC mainly becasue it is made by the same people, I know many other people who have played this game and all of them have enjoyed it especially multiplayer.
The problem with magazine reviews is that it is mainly one persons opinion and if this one person has played so many game they will begin to get bored and start to give out bad reviews but this boredom gives everyone who see the scores the same attitude as the reviewer and do not think for themselves.
It seems to me that the offical magazine is given a few nudges by sony to rate there own products highly and all matter of free speech is gone out the window. Internet game reviewers have all given "midnight street racer" good marks just look at "gamespot.com", "ign.com" and so on.
All I'm saying is don't judge a game on only one person's opinion.
