/me sighs

I'm pretty frustrated with the rating as well. Not simply because I think it's unfair that they disliked the game. But the fact that they gave the game a 7.0, a "you might want to buy it, rent it first" type rating. But then they turn around and give NBA Street v3 a 9.4. WTF?

Can I just say that EA is completely and utterly raping the gaming industry? I hate Sports games. Yeah. Just about every one of them. I really think you would all feel the same way if you worked in Gamestop/EB. There's just something about the titles. Something about how sports game fans can complain that Nintendo's sequels aren't original - and then they turn around and buy the newest copy of Madden every year.

/me screams

If you had to alphabetize an entire used PSX section by yourself and help customers at the same time... You would know... The M-N sections... Are just... Disgusting... The M-N sections take more time than everything else in the store combined to properly alphabetize. Now by itself, that's nothing. I've made no point. But when I'm doing it, I think about how much each title has really changed. And I know, that the changes are minimal, and yet people keep paying for them. It just makes me want to burn every single freaking sports title ever made (save for a select few that have really added to the industry).

At any rate, I'll rent the game today. Hopefully I'll like it more than IGN did.
