FIFA 12 Review: IGN - 9.5

[EvanRG]

They gave NCAA 12 a 8.5, so I grade all IGN sports game reviews with a -2.5 Bell curve. =)

But in all seriousness, there are things that Fifa does really well and other things that it does not. Whether that warrants a 9.5 rating is yet to be seen.

It is way to early to speculate either way.

LOL....Seriously what is difficult here. It's not rocket science. IGN does things increments of 5

9.5 Presentation (fair)

9.0 Graphics (fair)

9.0 Sound (fair)

9.5 Gameplay (imo just above a 9, but again increments of 5)

10 Lasting Appeal (at least a 9)

So all in all at worst a 9.0 to 9.2. I ask you, how is this not a fair review?

Because NCAA 12 was worth an 8.5. Maybe you need to stop judging people's reviews based on your own likes and dislikes because contrary to what you might think. We don't all like the same things you do.
