While I disagree with some of the grades, I tend not to complain about it. I don't give a damn about scores, numbers, percents, stars, could be apples for all I care, it's all the same to me.
What I value in a good review are clearly written positive and negative aspects of the game. I want to know, what bothered the reviewer, so I can compare his/hers views with mine.
Lets take Indy and the Last Crusade for example... reviewer wrote she hated the fighting sequences... ok, I don't mind those, one less negative point for the game in my eyes.
Don't like direct controls of Grim? I have no problems with them.
Don't like dark and twisted humor of Sam & Max? I laugh my a** off with these guys.
Like the timed sequences? Well I hate them, and no matter hard you try to put them in good light for me, I'll still hate them.
So you see, reviews will never be completely objective, but they can be qualitly written nevertheless. And I for one, think they are just that.
