Buretsu posted...Reviews are opinion, too.
They're meant to be a more in depth analysis of the game. To point out the strengths and weaknesses of a game and provide it with a numerical or letter score for buyers to decide if they want to make a purchase. It's looking at the demographic that will ultimately be playing the game and letting them know how the game is. The reviewer's opinions play a factor in it, but these days people (sadly) take those reviews as cold hard fact, and throw it in the face of anyone who has an opinion that's different from there's.
This game stinks!
*here comes a flood of posts linking to reviews praising it and claiming it's better than Ocarina of Time*
This game is awesome!
*here comes a flood of posts linking to a review that makes the game sound like the second coming of Superman 64*
