Okey , I think I am starting to understand the way humans think , let me explain
.
We humans always have to complain about everything , for instance , if a game has got a new game coming out each year , which only adds some new characters and stages , we diss the game.After a long time a company finally tries to make a game which brings another side of the sport.Lets say , the street method of the sport , like we resently got the chance to lay our hands on Fifa street , so some people might be dissing Fifa street cause it ruins the football expierence and some people might call it a franchize rape.
The same thing has just happend to tony hawk , activision showed another side of the franchise : the part of people who have another vision on skating ... it's a new project ,and finally , a complete new game, something you people are being negative about.While you on the other hand , are discusted of games getting 10 sequels , all delivering the same package.
Now about the reviews. Lets say we have a game like zelda : the occorina of time , and a game like mario kart DS.The game zelda gets a 10/10 score and mario kart DS gets a 8/10 score. You can say the legend of zelda is a better game , however you can't compare them to eachother , cause zelda doesn't has the same genre , while if your a fan of kart racing , and like a fun way to race , while you don't like games like zelda with a huge story and other things , you might say you like mario kart better.
Comparing to games can be about how good the game was developped , not about the gameplay compared to eachoter
.
Now lets not discuss any further about those reviews : if you like the old school tony hawk skating game better : so be it. you will probably like tony hawk : american sk8land better , but that doesn't have to mean its a better game.
