Yeah a review is an opinion, and people are entitled to them, regardless of how you feel about said opinion.
That being said, I personally would give TP a 9.5, since they were whores and used MIDIs rather than real orchestral music. Everything else was stellar.

I don't see why people got all mad about the 8.8.
It wasn't exactly the 8.8 that they got mad at. It was the reasons it received an 8.8, such as graphics, music, and the dude who reviewed it was a huge slob who obviously held bias against the Wii due to a video which surfaced of him "playing" Wii sports bashing it because he was trying to play it(bowling) sitting, thus throwing gutters, thus saying the game sucked. There are other reasons, which I don't exactly agree, or disagree with, and I can't say whether or not an 8.8 is good or not considering I haven't played the game, but that would be the info I know.

That does seem a valid reason to dislike the Wii.
Forcing gamers to stand, tsk, tsk.

Totally. I think Epic should bring back Jazz Jackrabbit on one of the new consoles. That would be so darn amazing.

the 8.8 just shows you how bogus game ratings are. had it scored a measly 2 more points, most people wouldve been content with a 9.0. but how does a game earn those two tiny points? there is no answer because these scores are pulled out of the ass of the reviewer. the point of a score is to summarize the content of a review, it is not meant to pit game x vs game y. you cant take something subjective like a game review, and make it objective by using an eloborate scoring system unless there are clear parameters to how games earn their scores.
there is a reason movies and albums are not scored with 100 point systems, games should go to a strictly 10 or 5 point rating system

For what it's worth, Gamespot/CNET usually grades games tougher than most other sites. And every reviewer has their own methods of grading a game, no matter what the scale.
When you look at grading methods objectively, should any game get a 10/10 or 5/5 or 100/100? That would imply perfection, right? Well, imo no game is perfect. And critics giving 10/10 or 5/5 still identify the flaws of a game in their reviews. So, in light of that, why not use a 100 point scale or a 1-10 decimal point scale?
More importantly, though, is the content of the review itself and the ability of the audience to read between the lines to detect the critic's bias. Then, to make a decision of whether or not the review is credible enough to allow one's self to be swayed by it or not when determining to rent/buy/ignore.

Gamespot sucks because they didn't really like The Neverhood, Skullmonkeys, and Boombots.
