This information comes from Warren Spector…
“I’ve never worked on a game that’s polarized people like this. Literally, we’ve got a half dozen perfect scores and I’ve also gotten the lowest scores I’ve ever gotten on any game I’ve ever worked on. In a weird sort of way, I think that’s kind of cool. The fact that you’re making something that people feel that strongly about either way is way better to me in a weird sort of way, of course you want everybody to think you made the best game ever, but if we were trending at something like an 8 out of 10? I’d probably have to kill myself. It’s kind of cool to polarize people in that way and have people feeling really passionate about it and talking a lot about it, I’m kind of jazzed about that.”
The review scores with Epic Mickey have definitely been odd. At first, a number of publications really praised the title, but since then, I’ve seen scores as low as 4.
