Gamespot rating is awfull.
The reason i m writing this article is that i felt like playing an adventure game again and i thought that since i dont know whats happening in the adventure world the last 10 years it would be a good idea to see the gamespot ratings about adventure games and choose which game would be the proper to make a new start. Taking the list from top to bottom i saw high ratings for games that i expected to be so high like grim fandago and full throttle, but it surprised me that among the first wasnt the game i always believed that it would be considered the best so i thought that maybe it was too old and gamespot didnt even exist that time. it was a great surprise and dissapointment for me when i turned to the second page and saw that it is rated as 7.3 among mediocre games like The Experiment which i tried to play and it was awfull.
This game had everything. Great graphics for its time. amasing complex story, great acting, HUMOR (you mindless critics that praise no-brain action games like Prototype for a recent example), good puzzles and walkthrough system, atmosphere and was generally it was a great innovation for its time.
I feel offenced by gamespot's rating and besides that i now think that being advised by gamespot ratings isnt a very good idea for finding a good adventure game to play. what happened to Pandora Directive may have happened to other games so there maybe are out there some very good games that gamespot burried with low scores so i wont bother look their scores. i ll try to find a site with critics that still use their brain....
Sorry for my english i m from Greece.
