    Since EDGE uses the full scale system unlike most American publications, many American would assume that a game that received a 7/10 is “average.” Actually, it is not. The “average” score according to EDGE is 5/10. Games below that number are “below average,” so for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, its 7/10 would be equivelent to 8.0-8.5 using American rating standards. Very nice number for Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story as its 9/10 score would make it 9.5/10.

    Yeah who gives a shit about number score systems?? Keep it locked right here at Nintendo Everything for an unbiased and easy to understand review of the most anticipated titles coming in Nov.

    Thomas, it doesn’t matter what Edge says, a 7 is a “C” in America. 70% on your homework is a “C”. This is a common convention that is drilled into our heads from the very beginning of our education.

    Edge reviews lost all credibility years ago; it’s so obvious that they’re bias so I doesn’t matter what they say or think – they have repeatedly demonstrated that their opinions are incongruous with objective gamers.

    A bit off topic, but since you are discussing point scales, why can’t the reviewers just pack it in and move to a percentage scale already?
    Most sites have a 10 point rating system but will hand out 7.8′s and alike thus making it a 100 point scale. Same goes for some sites that use a 5 point system and still manages to give scores of 4.25 which somewhat makes that a 100 point system as well.
    Is the ‘devine power’ of the reviewer hidden in the decimals?
    At least Edge sticks to their scale, but for others I don’t really see the point in a small scale system when they can’t carry it through. /rant

    So, what are their criticisma about the game in regards to why they rated it as such? Never the less… I think they might be a bit too harsh on this game, its certainly better than the DS version, and looks like a definite return to the classics back on the NES and SNES consoles.

    Ah well, at least Bowser’s Inside Story got a 9.
