EDITOR’S AWARD

EDITOR’S AWARD Not at the very highest echelon, but this is a game that deserves recognition and special praise based on its ambition, innovation or other notable achievement.

10 INCREDIBLE The kind of phenomenal experience rarely seen in a console generation.

9 OUTSTANDING Unreservedly brilliant – this should be in every collection.

8 VERY GOOD A truly excellent game, mar red by just a few minor issues.

7 GOOD A great concept unfulfilled or the familiar done well, but still well worth playing.

6 DECENT Fun in parts, flawed in others, but more right than wrong.

5 AVERAGE What you expect and little more, this is for devotees only.

4 BELOW AVERAGE Any bright ideas are dr owning in a sea of bugs or mediocrity.

3 POOR A seriously flawed game with little merit on any level.

2 AWFUL Disgraceful: the disc would be more beneficial as a coaster.

1 HORRIFIC Own this and you’ll be swiftly, justifiably, exiled from society.
