More dumb *** reviewers pretending that they know Basketball

[OneBadMutha]

Game Informer, the magazine that gives away great scores to bad games, scored Inside Drive a 6.5 To put that into perspective, that's about a 4.0 by any other publication's standards. I haven't read the actual review since I just found this out from someone who posted the Game Informer scores however I just needed to vent about how unknowledgable these idiots are when it comes to reviewing true Sports sims. Basically their scores are weighted against advertisements and hype which ID has neither of. I could put a monkey in a chair with some paper and crayola crayons in front of him and tell him to write a review and publish it and I think it would make more sense than Game Informers shi##y *** reviews.

lol, I cant wait till I get my retail copy from HV

Awkwardly enough, I have never played ID, even though I ran the site for the game

so when I get 2004 this week, I will give you a unbiased review

Now that I think about it, I haven’t played a b-ball game since NBA Live 2002

How do you know how they judge a game? Maybe the game is just bad.

Ummmm....no. This is the same excuse that a lot of gamers give for a magazine or website that they like because it rates their particular favorite game highly (and God knows that Game Informer can kiss the asses of pretty much any well selling franchises). The bottom line is that Game Informers reviews have always lacked depth and really don't touch on gameplay very much. You truly are forced to trust their scores instead of reading what they have to say.

When so many Basketball fans who have no loyalty to MS Sports and who've been playing Basketball games for a long time love the gameplay in Inside Drive, it has to make you wonder what these reviewers base their scores on. Is it based on sales? Hype? Personally I think so and I also think it's a snowball effect since those things and ratings can keep feeding off each other.

All you have to do is read Steve's preview (the most in depth preview on the internet I might add) and you'll find out that Inside Drive still has the same tight gameplay, fixes the biggest issues from last year, touched up the graphics and animations a little bit, added some new usefull controls, and will be online. Unless Steve's Beta copy got a lot worse in it's translation to the final version, then there's no way that last year's fantastic game got worse.

Last year every game site and magazine gave inside drive bad reviews. Does that mean that every single reviewer know nothing about basketball? If everybody like inside drive then it would be th only game selling. Just because you think it's great doesn't meant that everybody else does.

You are complaining about a review you haven't read. Unbelievable.
