Agreed - I think this sums it up...
"Faults be damned, though; this is the kind of hugely ambitious game that doesn't come around very often" - 1up (gives it an "A" which metacritic takes as 100%)
Faults be damned? How can you call yourself a reviewer with stuff like this? I applaud the ambition, but you have to rate these things as they are, based on what they claim to be.
I love Fallout 2, but it has many flaws, and metacritic gives it a 86 and the original 89, which in part show respect for what it achieved based on what it set out to do, and I would say these scores are fair.
