Agreed. I feel that the standards are different for downloadable games as opposed to disc based releases. Even though I don't know what the scores were, I'd imagine it would be like comparing NHL 10 to 3 on 3 NHL Arcade, if they had similar scores.
I mean, sports games or not (even more so on the "not" side): Thee are many excellent games one can download for $10-20, but if those were sold for $60, people would **** all over that mess.
