      They also gave Godfather a 6.5. I played Godfather and it's really really fun and a solid game. It's the best time I've had playing an action game in a while. So this is good news to me, sort of.

          Yeah I can't believe that. Graphically FNR3 is top notch and the gameplay is pretty good (aside from a few things that bother me), but the career mode is terrible. It makes the game very weak in terms of single person playability.

            The game should have been rated in the low 9's...Nowhere desrving of a 10..thats nuts.

            its OXM ( official xbox magazine obviously) if any game were to ever get a 10 it probably would be Halo.

              I don't want to always have to bring this up, but just because the same magazine gave these other scores, it's two different people. Even if it was the same person, it's his opinion.

              It's like how I may be in love with the SOCOM series, but despise the Final Fantasy series. So, that way, I rate them however I want on my number scale. Does it make them a good or bad game? Not necessarily... FF and SOCOM are both very popular games, and they are also platform titles.



              Here, in this situation, it's one person's score... just like going to Amazon.com and seeing somebody else put up a 2, or somebody putting up a 10. What I like to read is the reviewer's supporting statements as to why they came up with that number. If their reasoning backs it up (due to personal distaste in something), then I have no problem with it. It's when some incorrect facts are stated that I love to go overboard and bash a review.

              So was this for the 360 version, or what?

                But it seems odd to me..Game informer praised MLB with a 8.5 Saying things like "It blows the door off of anything you would expect from a baseball game"

                And "it could be the most realistic sports game to date"

                  It was the Xbox version. They said they liked the pitching and hitting, after saying that Kush was copying Ea's MVP. They liked the Inside Edge and Franchise mode but felt the fielding was unresponsive and sluggish. It wasn't really any different than the GI review. They did say that they recommended it and felt that the series was headed in the right direction. They said that the game got two out of three things right, which is batting .667. Okay review.....

                      The Godfather deserves atleast a 8.0 - 8.5 range, it's such a good game and a fresh breath of air.

                      MLB2K6 should hopefully be good, and a 7.5 is good imo.

                          Problem is IGN also gave it a rating of 7+. I am not buying this game...

                            I would not let reviews be the be all and end all of weather or not I myself like the game. At least, I am going to rent it. Otherwise, I would be letting someone elses opinion be my opinion.

                              dont tell me you actually expected 9.0+ scores?, 2K would need to fire kush and redo the entire game before it gets 9's
