There is no way in hell that the best PSP game of the year, Loco Roco deserves a 7.7. IGN gave it a 9.0 and in the review didn't say a single bad thing about it. Then why didn't it get a 10? GamePro gave it a 3 out of 5 and said that the game is too repetitive. How is it too repetitive? Each level has you exploring different places like the stomach of an animal or a graveyard and there are tons of new enemies and obstacles. X-Play gave it a 4 out of 5 yet didn't mention a single bad thing about it. Most of these critics said that the game was too short. There are 40 levels. Each level takes about 20 minutes on the first completion. That's 8 hours. If you want to unlock everything, it'll take from 60 to 90 minutes. That's FIFTY hours. How the hell is that too short?! It just seems like enemies have something against innovative games that aren't afraid to try new things. (Not that I think about it, this is the same thing many did with Daxter, except not nearly to this extent.)
In other news, I got my toe operated on for the 3rd an final time and this hurt the most of the three. I also start school tomorrow. My first soccer game is on Friday night and my coach demoted me from center attacking midfield to center defense (we play a 3-5-2) because two of our fullbacks left and nobody else wants to play defense. On the bright side, it's less running but on the bad side if I screw up that's a goal. At least I'm still the team captain.

Dont trust other peoples reviews, as it is their opinion. The score for example, they thought it deserved a 7.7 but someone else thinks it deserves a 10. It may be short to some people, but it's also long to other people. I dont really "read reviews" because they are mostly opinion, I only look for the facts if any. Like: Sants row has music other then rap. That, is a fact. Saints row has the best player customization ever - that is a opinion, while it may offer player customization, it does not mean its the best. So dont pay attention to the scores.

Good luck with school and the surgery Alex. As for the reviews, they are just peoples opinions. As long as you like the game, it doesn't matter what they think.

Bah, my King Kong review was an acurate score than what they gave it. Read it or the scary man will get you.

Gamespot picks it rating on what they think about it. IGN is diffrent.

I'll tell you why it scored low in value. Because not everyone will play through a game over and over to find everything. If it isn't there from the start then it's only extra.
Also even if ign gave it a 9, a game must be truly aamzing in order to garner a 10. Ocarina of Time, Soul Calibur, thsoe earned 10s for changing everything. if the reviews say that it's repetitive, short and not as good as everyoen would have wanted it to be then why bother trying to convince yourself that it's something amazing?
You're entitled to disagree with whatever you watn, but those scores, as surprising as they are, are represenattive of what all of those journalists think and if the majority of them say it isn't good then chances are it isn't good.
Keep in mind though that a 7.7 is actually a good score and there's fun to be had with a game that scores a 7.7.
Also, you may end up liking it more then they did.
...and this totally will never ever be remembered as one of the greatest games of all time. It never stood a chance at that.
