Gamespot grades a LOT harder than IGN, so to me a 7.5 from Gamespot means a lot more (and is better in many ways) than a 8.5 from IGN, whose reviews I've learned to pretty much ignore for how much I'd like the game (or what I'd give it) in way too many cases.
Oh, and Gamespot did mark some things down more, but in graphics notice they have it a 7... only 2 points down. IGN dropped graphics from a 9.7 to a 5... a strange thing to do when the graphics are still pretty good (well, thats what Gamespot says!)
Oh... back to the game itsself. Well, Gamespot said that random battles aren't any less frequent... did IGN dissagree? What's the truth here?
