Lol. A case of giving what it was an obscure, non-AAA game at the time a 70, and when it later was a popular, appreciated by other critics and hardcore audience a 90. Gotta fit in, gotta give the audience what it wants.


Mind you, I'm not a a stoopid gamer claiming how 'game journalists are the worst because they aren't objective'. Reviews are basically substantiated opinions and they can't be objective, that much is clear. But even looking at the same reviewer there is lack of... consistency of what's good and what's bad, depending of the genre, the expectations, etc.
