Review scores are not as necessary as
some think. As pointed out in an article by Kevin Grant, Review
scores are the “short cut.” The reason review scores have come
into existence is because it is the easy way for people to get a
sense of whether or not to buy a game.
However, this is not a detailed
representation of the game itself. It is simply a score, given to
said game by a journalist with his or her own views or opinions. The
area where a reader is most likely to get a real sense for the
quality of a game, is through the main body of the review. When a
consumer reads this main body, they can learn about features and
details that would not be revealed to them through a simple score.
This can mean the difference between a purchase, a rental, or simply
ignoring a game.
