No not really Rayman II a 10 out of 10 game in my eye's . Mario 64 was like Mario 4 sheer perfection , one can't see how they could be made any better .
Rayman II was almost there, but the 3D camera system wasn't as good as that seen in 64 (the only flaw inthe whole game). But the gameplay was there , and thats all that counts in my eye's

That's the problem with saying 10/10 means "revolutionary". Once a game has been awarded a 10, similar games of the same (or higher) quality can't be awarded an equivalent mark. Because you can't have a 'revolution' twice.

In effect it takes the emphasis off the gameplay and puts it on the timing of the game's release. Perhaps Edge noticed this error in their scoring system... the mag doesn't list 10/10 as revolutionary these days....

But with the way that EDGE views the way it scores games should any game be worthy of 10/10? as 10/10 would assume perfection. But even the most genre defining games available throughout history each has their own flaws which moves it ever so far away from perfection, in the end perfection is unattainable. So whats the point in marking out of 10 when realistically the best any game can get is a 9?

Edge many a time used to get letters from some readers saying this same thing, year after year. And time and time again they would explain 10/10 never constituted "perfection" at all, because of course, that is impossible.

Needless to say, it got very boring...

Well a few of us have been saying that for years .
