Metroid Echoes Appreciation Thread (MEAT for short)

[A Black Falcon]

The score is partly the fault of Gamespot's review system. The reviewers cannot choose the score the game gets. Remember, it's a average of the sub-categories... and look at those -- 9 for gameplay is appropriate given the poor multiplay, 9 for graphics is okay, 8 for sound and value... okay, maybe a bit low but justifyable... and then a 10 for the tilt (to adjust the score closer to where the reviewer wants it). I bet that with a more open scoring system Gamespot's review scores would be more accurate, but as it is their scoring system is their one relative flaw.

Though it's still better than something stupid like how Gamespy now just uses a straight 10-point scale... we need more differentiation than that...
