I’ve never been disappointed by a game that Gamespot said was fantastic. In fact, I respect Gamespot’s reviews so much that I’ll check the site before buying a game.
When they gave Assassin’s Creed a 9.0, I bought it — and I hated it for the first few hours. Still, I persisted and can now happily say it’s one of my favourite games ever. I bought Rock Band because of that site. And reluctantly bought Guitar Hero 3, as it got a bit of a mediocre review (I really wanted the wireless guitar).
I say all that so I can relate my utter sadness I felt today w
hen I finally got around to checking Gamespot’s review of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift for the Nintendo DS.
They only gave the game a 7.0 and my threshold for buying a game is usually at least and 8.3 from their critics.
However, I saw something on the site that made me go “hmmm.”
