Of the 4 Games that recieved a 10/10 on Gamespot, which one is LEAST deserving of that score? I know that all you Nintendo haters will be going, "OMG TEH ZELDA OoT!!". :(
But for me, it was definitely Chrono Cross. For one thing, the whole story sucked. It's a pure embarrassment to Chrono Trigger. If Chrono Trigger shows up on the VC, GS better give it a 10 and bring Chrono Cross to 8.5 IMO.
I want to see a reasoning for your choice, as well. If you're just going to burst into an angry rage and make fun of a game that Sheep like, then don't. If you want to debate what was least deserving of a 10, then post here. This is SW, and we should be debating, not pulling each other's hair and acting like 4-year olds.
i personally think you should give games that come about as close to flawless as you can get a 10, seeing as how its impossible to create a truly flawless game
THPS3. Yes, it got a 10 because it was technically perfect in it's genre, on it's system. But c'mon, it's a skateboarding game.... OoT, although it probably didn't deserve perfect, comes the closest out of the 4.
Tony Hawk is the obvious choice but I don't feel like Soul Calibur deserved the 10. And I am the biggest Namco fan here. SC is certainly AAA worthy, but it's not perfect.Â
Tony Hawk Pro SKater 3. come on its a great game. great game. but perfect no. come on that game was so overrated on this site. the online wasnt that awesome, the multiplayer was good not perfect though. it did get repititive with all those dumb mission u had to do. come on it was definantly a 9ish game but not a 10.
Either get rid of 10 as a rating possibility or add .1 to any game that gets above a 9. Then it won't change the whole  A, AA, AAA thing thats goes on here, yet still makes it possible to actually give a game a 10. Say the .1 stands for artistic merit, say it stands for whatever I don't care just figure out something or don't give 10's they are a joke.
I really dislike the concept of a "ten". Its the equiavlent of saying "Comparitavely speaking, it does better in every single field than every other game of the same genre." I just find that a little far fetched to believe there is one perfect game.
Soul Caliber---great weapon fighting mechanics in an arcade looking home console
Zelda--THE first true immersive adventure game
THPS3--the absolute perfection of the videogame formÂ
Chrono Cross--only because the other three were right. I have it, but got lost in the shuffle. Only played maybe 5 hours:(
The ONE glaring omission, but only because it was a few months before GS. Super Mario 64. That single game in THE reason games are what they are now.

But can you honestly say all of those games were the best in EVERY SINGLE field of their genre including sound, graphics, tilt, value, etc?
Maybe. Like I said, not enough hours into CC to say for sure, but; all the others are definate. THPS3 is the toughest to defend, but it was the first to perfect the...(here is when it try)...inherent simplicity found in complex gameplay. Tony Hawk 1 & 2 were never simple, Skater 3 made the first two seem unfinished. I enjoyed 4, but it added nothing important. All others since are inferior copies.

Sorry, Chono Cross was a good game but yes it was embarassment to the greatest game on a gaming platform.
Chrono Cross is a 10 but CT would have been a 12/10. AAAAAA. It just proves how good CT is when its crappy sequel still scores a 10.
CT - 12/10
FFII - 11.1/10
FFIII - 11/10
Seiken Densetsu 3 - 10.9 / 10
Earthbound - 10.3 / 10
Zelda LTTP - 11/10
Super Metroid - 11/10
Neways, I'm an SNES fanboy so yes, these games would equate to those ratings in my books.
I'd say THPS3,OOT deserved its score as it was imo a masterpiece,I really cant see how that game could be made any better back then. But whilst THPS3 isnt a perfect game,it is excellent,if it were up to me I would score it a 9.4.

Concerning your opinion on Sould Calibur, I have to agree.

OOT at the time could have been better then any game of its genre and could have paved the way for the genre in gameplay mechanics and other genres, but even then it could still be considered an imperfect game.
Look at the OOT review on IGN and notice how the game did not receive a perfect score in all areas, but it got a 10 in the end.Â
THPS3 should not have gotten a ten. Great game, but just not true perfection. A game has to have some serious depth to get a 10. I would have given it a mid AAA. Soul Calibur is easily one of the greatest fighting games ever, if not the greatest. Still, not enough depth for me. I would have given it high AAA. Ocarina and Chrono Cross are the two that deserved their rating.
Personally I don't think any game should really get a 10.Teufelhuhn
I somewhat agree. Still, I think that if a reviewer should not in any way rate a certain game ten according to his opinion, then no game whatsoever should receive ten in any category in its review. The reason for that is obvious really.
