Worst GS review ever

Half-Life 2. Horrible game assigned a score in the "superb" range. Aside from most facts, its writer was pretty much dead wrong on every account.NBSRDan

I don't think it is the worst, but I think STALKER should have gotten higher than 8.5.

STALKER was a bug infested game at retail, if you were one of the unlucky it was unplayable. It was almost a miracle it got an 8.5.

It wasn't that bad. It was easily playable, I rarely had any problems at all.

The Legend of Dragoon on PS1 is a game that I loved and GS gave a low score. One of my favorites of all time, but I wouldn't say it's their worst review ever though.

MGS4. I dunno what the reviewer was smoking but I've never seen a review so far off. 5.0 max.

Are you sure its gamespot thats smoking substances or you?

Oblivion

Just a quick glance at the review gives :-

"Oblivion is hands-down better "(that morrowind)

" There's a compelling main quest for you to follow"

" you could play it like a pure action game, or like a stealth game, or like an adventure game, and it'd still be at least as good as, if not better than, games that are specialized in these regards."

"the quality of the voice acting and the writing is generally excellent."

"Almost every character in every town is unique"

"the main quest in Oblivion features a solid good-versus-evil storyline "

"You can actually role-play in this game, something that the vast majority of role-playing games have stopped offering in recent years".

"From the quality of the story and character interaction to the pure thrill of the combat to all the pleasure to be found in the game's little details"

"Impressive artificial intelligence and hundreds of believable characters"

Rofl. I have to agree with all those point :)

I wonder what the reviewer was thinking...

Giving Two Worlds a score higher than a 2/10 was certainly a gaffe on their part...67gt500

^^This. I rented it and just hated it, one of the worst games I've played. A 2 might be pushing it :P .

Lost Odyssey, which got a 7.5 but was a superb game. And I remember the first smash bros. got a low score, even though it was one of my favourite games of its time.

Though a 5 out of 10 is a bit harsh. A 10 is way over rated. Based on Gameplay, it should yhave got a 7.5....
