Lots of things to reply to here... lets get the ball rolling.

Tshirts, in case you missed this, then here is the one line that almost completely destroys your argument.
Heh, most intelligent people noticed that and agreed with it in one way or another, but it was somehow ignored by the topic starter. I find it strange how those making an arguement hear only what they want to hear, or what they can argue against.

Biased? You compare opinions with opinions and then proceed to call us biased? You started this topic to knock videogames.com\'s OPINIONS on Sony titles and then come into a Sony forum and proceed to call us biased? That\'s pretty sad. I suppose those games, Metal Gear Solid, FFIX, and many others, just don\'t figure into your perspective. Again, I feel this is just something that you want to see in order to prove your own views. All because you ignore the points doesn\'t mean we will. So far, as everyone as said in this thread, every company has had their fair share of crap review from videogames.com, but I find it funny that you immediately single them out for pro-Sony views when they give a high score to one title. Maybe they actually think *gasp* the game is good?
- Immense interactive battlefields(arenas, levels, etc): Crazy Taxi
I don\'t remember Crazy Taxi ever having the ability for me to literally change the face of the enviornment while I\'m playing and make the level an all new experience. Let\'s also not forget which one is multiplayer...
- Improved physics: Wave Race 64
That\'s intelligent. I don\'t know if we were playing the same Wave Race 64 or not, but I don\'t remember being able to turn on a dime and kill my friend with a missle shot in that one. Oh well, maybe you remember things differently then I do when you play games.
- animation: LOL come again?
Yah man, the TM:B animations suck. To hell with the fact that practically every part on the car moves in real time with the press of a button, or the fact that it displays damage at varying levels, or even the fact that some cars literally tranform to unleash specials. I guess the Taxi\'s and Waverunners in Crazy Taxi and Wave Race 64 all did that as well. :rolleyes: However, I\'d think the better comparison would be to the only other vehicular combat game that is out on the market now for next generation systems, and that is Vigilante 8 for the Dreamcast and I don\'t think any of the V8 cars held a candle to what TM:B pulls off with ease.
Bold statement, but sorry NOT EVERY SINGLE REVIEWER ON THE WEB HAS POSTED A REVIEW.
That\'s right. Sh|t man, only these high profile, highly respected 500,000 hits + a day sites have posted high mark reviews. I guess those smaller sites are a little slow, a little understaffed, and a little pissed off about working for peanuts. Damn, but when they get up to speed and start bashing one of the greatest PS2 games of this year, you be sure to come in here and post lots of obscure links and references none of us have ever heard of.
No not really. Considering I have played the game, I don\'t think it should stand along such greats as Soul Caliber, Chrono Cross, Zelda:OoT, and/or get a "higher grade from their scale" than a Tony Hawk, and Mario 64. Consider this, their criteria is to rate games according to the "like" games on the platforms. If that is the case, Tony Hawk and Mario 64 should of both gotten perfect scores considering they are great titles and there are no other games like them on their respective consoles.
Again, you\'re comparing reviews for totally different games in totally different genres. Posting a comparitive review between Madden2k1 for the PC and Madden2k1 for the PS2 is one thing, but don\'t do it for Twisted Metal Black and Ocarina of Time. Any sane Nintendo fan will tell you that the two are incredibly different and comparing one to the other is just downplaying each respective title. I wouldn\'t have to say the above if you had just listened to what people have been telling you in this thread all along, but you really do have a tendency to ignore the good arguments against your claims.
Also, like Xbox said, Sony got caught for rigging their movie scores. It is not a far fetch idea they could do the same for their game scores.
I\'m not on Sony\'s "payroll." I don\'t get paid when I put my reviews for games up in here. All i do is post my honest opinions of great games or poor games. TM:B is a great title in my opinion and if you think it is terrible, that\'s your opinion, but just know that nearly everyone who has played this game has loved it in one way or another. Oh well, I admire your fight to have your opinion heard, but opinions are like assholes; everyone has one, and everyone thinks everyone elses stinks.
