Default Re: Mario Galaxy: 97 on Metacritic

[ QUOTE ]
this 10 point scale is becoming [censored]. I've played this game and i am a video game connoisseur, but its not a 9.7/10.

if 5/10 is average, 1/10 DO NOT PLAY, 10/10 Best game ever, this game is somewhere around a 9. Games like metal gear solid, the ocarina of time, startcraft, super mario world, half-life and golden eye are all around 9.7's.

The thing about video games is that most of them, even the bad ones, are fun at first. What makes a video game worthy of a 9.7 is that its GREAT fun to play at first and GREAT fun after countless hours. Super mario galaxy is, for sure, a great game to play at first. But to say its better than the ocarina of time is impossible to say now.

That said, this game is still hugely good, a must buy, but don't believe the hype. Believe the must buy hype, but not the best game ever hype.... at least not yet

Couldn't this same logic be applied to any game getting good reviews?
