Bullshit, 5 star systems suck.
Everything is going to get a 4, because it's difficult to justify a 'perfect' game.
No thanks. That's not useful information.
Why? Music reviewers and movie reviewers are able to use the full scale. 5 stars doesn't mean that the product is objectively perfect, it means that the reviewer finds the product essential.
It's so weird to me that a lot of gamers feel like reviewing games is some kind of science.
CVG too used the full scale, I remember every issue of the magazine had a few 1s and 2s, some 3s and 4s and often a couple of 5s.
