Maybe they're rating it based on value. You're paying full retail price for one 9 year old game whereas other HD remasters included several of the games from the series. There's no question the MCC is a better value. I'm playing it right now and loving it, though.

Doesn't matter. The game came out when it came out. The rating should stand. I've literally only seen this type of shyt done as frequently as its done with video games. No other form of entertainment does this type of shyt on the scale these video game reviewers do it. It takes the value away from the original rating.
The rating back in 06 does stand but since it's being redone on a new console doesn't that mean you grade it on today's scale as well. Just check the old review and see why the game was so revolutionary at the time but on today's scale it's not all that. I don't see the big deal.

nikka since when is nikkas able to just call a classic not a classic anymore? In what form of entertainment does this kinda fukk shyt happen? How u gonna review a decade old game on a today's scale? It makes no sense. When reviewing a remake. The TRANSLATION itself should be the focus of the review. Period.

if it weren't being remade then you'd have an argument but since it's being brought back out, it's fair game.

:what: Son the only thing upgraded is the graphics. It's the same exact game. Only thing that should be getting reviewed is how good of a job they did on the upgrade. If the port is functional and if the online component is stable.

No it isn't. It's 32 dollars with GCU. I traded in for it so I didn't pay a dime.

if that's what you want a review to be about then that's fine. But some people are reviewing the game and are looking at it as a standalone title. if you think the game is fine then who gives a fukk about a review
