No it isn't lying to their readers, KKlein.

They're NGC, and talking about Mario Kart: DD.

I think that we're getting slightly off topic by discussing the various merits of MK:DD.

Driver 3 is another matter of course.

From the deputy editor of Xbox World's own evidence on this forum, I think it would be fair, at the very least, to lay an accusation of unproffesionalism and naivite at their door.

But perhaps that's all they are guilty of?

The whole MK:DD thing was illustrative purpose by me to show that it's not right to accuse some people of bribery when in other instances high scores are given without anyone complaining. There is a fundamental flaw in your arguements that mean you fail to see the bigger picture. You criticise PSM2 and XBW whilst never even thinking about other instances with different magazines. Why should this be any different?
Also back to the glitching. So many people complain that it is unrealistic. That bouncing off lamposts and wrecking your car is stupid. Okay it can be frustrating. But if Driv3r was going for a realistic apprach then why the heck do you complain? That's far more likely to happen in real life (ie mass damage) than scenery bouncing down the road and you driving away unscathed ala GTA. Whlie we're at it lets all post lists of glitches and faults with GTA and compare shall we? There are LOADS in the Rockstar games, yet they are hailed as some of the greatest games of all time. Maybe they don't interfere with the gameplay as much as Driv3r, but why is it reasonable to expect reviews not to mention this fact about GTA yet you want them to hammer Driv3r for the same thing? The inconsistencies aren't in the reviews, but in your expectations.

Miriam,

I'd point you to my post on page fifteen. Whether or not you like MKDD is subjective. A lot of people did. Some people didn't. For many varying reasons. None of those reasons were sloppy game-destroying pop up, glitchy flying karts, poorly executed on foot sections (making up a whopping quarter of the game) or bad AI.

Driver3 is an unfinished mess. The fact that it scored a 9 in XBW stinks to high heaven. The fact they reviewed an unfinished game on the promise of it being fixed for release is inexcusable.

But Edge's Review was a one off compared to all the other Reviews i read.

And come on it's Nintendo - Has their game making ever come to question.

Don't mention Doshin Don't mention Doshin

My point may have been misunderstood. I have no problem with anymag. NGC is by far my favourite and I believe it 100%. I wasn't saying that anything was dodgy, but the fact if you accuse PSM2 and XBW of things then why do you not accuse others. That is the point I was making.
Almost every mag at some point boasts exclusive reviews. If these happen to be high scores does this mean money was exchanged? I would say no.

So after these discrepencies (in some peoples view) why on earth is everybody suddenly making accusations about Driv3r corruptions? There was nothing like this about any others.
