I've got both 06 and Unleashed for the 360 and have never got anywhere near finishing either as they both pissed me off so much. I keep feeling like there something I need to put myself through just so I can say "I am an 06 survivor".

Hey Reknoc, just wondering but why don't you score game out of 10 like most game reviewers do?

It was my idea for a score out of 5 in all official reviews in the first place.

Out of 10 just isn't a very good system, as soon as you give something less than a 7 it's automatically complete trash.

Edit: Giantbomb is the only website that matters and they also use a out of 5 scale.

But doesn't /10 make it more accurate?

It depends what /10 scale you use. There the one Renokc mentioned then the true /10 scale where 1 means rubbish 5 means average and 10 means amazing etc

Not really, it just adds needless padding. Scores themselves are stupid though.

1 = awful
2 = not good
3 = average
4 = good
5 = amazing

No need for anything else really.

Yeah, the 5 point scale is what we're using, because it's a lot more accurate, and takes out the middle ground.

I prefer 5 stars myself. 10's just too many. Normally when someone rates a game a 6 (sometimes 7) or below, out of 10, it's usually crap.

The problem with the /10 system as well, as someone put it, is that some gamers tend to rate games that get below a 8 as instantly crap, which is stupid and bloody annoying. A 5 star system is definitely more accurate in that regard.

Now what a coincident. I found Sonic Adventure 2 battle on a collectible gaming shop, when we were in the cinemas. I got it, now the only thing left is that I have to go and get a GC controller and memory card. Can't wait to play the game and say my opinion. I looked at the manual and it looks great.
