Second, IGNXbox gave DOA3 a 9.4, and that's probably the worst fighting gave I've played since WarGods. They gave Halo a 9.7 and I don't even like the game. They gave Amped an 8.5 and that's the worst (honestly) snowboarding gave I've played in my life. I like Snowboard Kids better! Reviews are a review of the game, doesn't mean everyone will like it.
A review is a score, they score a game on presentation, graphics, sound, gameplay, and lasting appeal. Just because the game deserved a 9.1, it means thje editor feels it deserves a 9.1. He plays a lot more games than you, and he feels that's what it deserves. Not everyone has the same tastes, and some people will still hate it. I can't stand Final Fantasy, but does it mean there's still not millions of gamers out there who love it?
GameSpot may very well give ED a 9.5 for lower, they may give it a 9.9. I'm sure they have different interests than IGN too. Also, from the sounds of the review, they don't seem to be very into the game, being they have already written impressions and have not even encountered a sanity effect. But again, IGN was SCORING this game a 9.6. If you see them talk about how much they love the gave, they would say it deserves closer to a 350/10. A review doesn't determine if you like a game or not.

And the sad part is, they still aren't CLOSE to as bad as IGN DC (even if it has a similar staff
)
I've never EVER agreed with IGN DC scores... I rarely agreed with cube.ign.com and ign64.ign.com... and I don't go to the Xbox site enough to care... Ps2's site seems to be the only one to share my views on games.
As far as ED getting a 9.6... I seriously don't trust it. The fact that I don't like many 3d/realistic/action/horror games plays a big role too, but look at the other games they rated over a 9.0!!!
Game-Like/Dislike?
Smash Brothers-Agreed, good game
Wave Race Blue Storm- Hell no
Pikmin- Hellllll no
Rouge Squadron- Hated it purely because of the diffuculty.
THPS3- loved it
Resident Evil- Never played it
There is a 50/50 chance that I will not only dislike it, but hate it..
Of course I will give this game, along with RE, a try... but not because of the scores from IGN, because I almost never agree.
