Hey! I think ADK deserves a better rating than that! <img src="graemlins/envy.gif" border="0" alt="[Envy]" />

Then write a counter review in the language of your choice (please no binary). :)

I can see no connection between the text and the rating in this review ... ? <img src="graemlins/eye.gif" border="0" alt="[Eye]" />

(For Non-German aficionadeos: the text kind of hypes the game and the rating at the end is a mere 44% then)

Takumaji may clear this up.

Hey Fran, what does Fuuma's CRAZY MAX move look like? It's not the Exploding Atomic Crash or Fireball Slug Trick from Perfect is it?
That was pretty cool he got into the game. He seems to fit in more than say, a Hanzou would.

I always play as Joe if I play ADK :) And then wipe the floor with the Mexican "Palma de Tigre" guy. <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

Fuumas Super Special is the dynamite move if I remember correctly.

Problem is the ratings average. While game play rating is high, specially the sound fx and tracks get a lower rating, which dramatically decreases the final result, since it's a calculated average.

You are right ppl, 44% overall is actually too low , but if you read the overview, you will find that I have given a whooping 70% for game play, which also gets reflected in my review text IMO; game play of GanGan is very good, but the artwork isn't up to the Neo standard. Which doesn't really matter, because the game is big fun, specially for two ppl.

If anyone has a suggestion for a more balanced rating system, I would be interested to hear it.

Anyway, thanx for reading!

Tak - I personally don't think making the overall score am average of the other scores is a fair idea. The main reason is that some games don't have great graphics or sound, but the gameplay more than makes up for it. So overall, if it is an enjoyable game, then it the overall rating should reflect that. That's the way I do reviews, and although the graphics play a part in the final score, they shouldn't have THAT much of a bearing imho. Just my two cents anyway :)

Good point, Kazuya.

Personally, I put the most weight on the review text itself, the %-ratings are just add-ons, but in this case of German reviews on an international site, I think I will have to have an eye on the balance of them. Ppl who can't read German may get a wrong impression - and according to Kyokugen's reaction, ppl who can, too... :D

I agree, the most important part of the review is the text itself, although sometimes people just skip that and look straight at the final scores. Anyway, keep up the good work on the reviews - although I don't read German it is good to see other language reviews on here! :)
