Your favourite low scoring (reviews) video games?

E.T. on the VCS.

Most of the stick it got was because people didn't 'get' it.
Once it clicked, I could play it pretty much continually.

When I was about 7.

Street Fighter III Third Strike got 4-out-of-10 from EDGE.

Why am I not surprised?

It was a 6!! Still stupidly low.

I like The Order 1886. Stunning to look at and experience.

I gave up on Edge reviews when I concluded Metroid Prime should have been a 10, and Halo most definitely shouldn’t...

The Game of Thrones RPG by Cyanide was much better than its reviews would have you believe.

Which part of that don't you agree with?

For me it's Shadow Dancer on the Megadrive. It scored a paltry 53% if I remember correctly in CVG. An insane score considering it's one of the best Shinobi games out there. I know they revised their score at a later date but it still smacks of CVG not really knowing what they are talking about *coughRiseoftheRobotscough*

Heresy!

Was it CVG that gave Rise of the robots all positive scores on all formats ? I seem to recall reading a multiformat magazine and was given the game glowing reviews....and i had played it so was obvious they were bribed.

The Transformers game on PS2 by Melbourne House got 5/10 from GamesTM, and it's one of the best 3rd person blasters ever!

EDF 2025 got 5/10 on Eurogamer, but let's not open that can of worms again.

I still rarely go there and refuse to turn off my AdBlocker.

Yeah it was CVG. I think they gave it 96% which, if you had played the game, you just know that it was a paid review. How anyone could trust CVG after that fiasco I’ll never know.

Felt the same with N64 Magazine after their Turok 2 review, praised it to the skies and IIRC they claimed it was better than Goldeneye. Never trusted the magazine again after that and only ever bought a few more issues.

Anyway, back on topic: I like Mario Kart Double Dash quite a bit, it's my second favourite Mario Kart. That got quite a low review score in Edge, I think.

Under Defeat HD, rated 3.5.

That's a solid 7/10!
