That's definitely going to be the first game I play.

dunno where 8.8 came from, the reviewer loved it to bits.
maybe they are leaving room for better games?

Let me bring up to speed on gamespots reviews........getting an 8 from them is like game of the year!!!......lol

Theyre very hard to please, I dont expect any of the launch games to get 9 from them (well maybe PD0, i predict 9.2), not cause im selling them short but just because very few ever get that honour from them and they never give 10s. EVER. if they give a game 7 and up that means REALLY good. Just look at their THAW and GUN reviews. They dont take shit from no one!

I remember when shenmue came out for the DC and every body was giving it 8s, not gamespot. They actually liked it and gave it a 6!!! They just said the presentation was whack but the game was ok.

I trust them though cause it only means that if a game gets a 9 then it TRULY deserves it.

Yeah, games get a 9 way way too easy nowadays. As posted in another thread, an average game (i.e. good, but nothing special) should get a 5, hardly any game should get 9 and 10s!

G4, xplays scale is much more balanced, as the average rateing is 3 out of 5, even though the show is stupid there rateings are still something to consider

Exactly! Its like 1up giving a launch game a 10. So for the life of the 360 thats as good as it gets? It makes no sense! I rhymed!

Think about what ratings you are giving some of these games for a second people.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I dl'ed the masterbit clip from IGN and when the Lambo hit the wall the trunk took damage, also when he took a quick look at the front of the car the hood was popping up and down. Can anyone confirm damage in PGR3, That is one thing that I havent seen anything about in any reviews prior to this remark.

They must have mistyped this. As you can see in the review, they said that the damage received is just for cosmetic purposes and doesn't affect the way the car handles (just like PGR2)

[unclepauly]

I don't care what anyone says a launch title can get a high score. Don't purposely bring a score down to leave room for improvement. Maybe they should have a look back once a year and re-rate the scores. That would probably just create more problems though. I just think that a game should have a 0% bias. If it kicks pgr2's ass i give it a 10 cuz pgr2 was great.
