IGN to Square: “You Got Served!”
So IGN published their Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles review, a full week before its release. They were not pleased. And while the 7.6 out of 10 mark isn’t a terrible score I would remind you that the only two categories that earned a score higher than 7 were Graphics and Sound, not the more important Gameplay or Lasting Appeal. So what all does this mean? At this point, it just means that Gamespot might feel the pressure and post their review this coming week as opposed to the day before launch. Still I think anyone who has any interest in this title has to be at least a bit off-put by this. IGN is normally a point or two higher than Gamespot and so you can normally assume that the average would be a more precise score. If the trend were to continue Gamespot will chime in somewhere around 5.5 and that would truly suck.
