Perfect 10 is always abused. I very rarely give out a 10. If there is even the slightest flaw, then that score will not be 10. Unfortunately too many users see a single good thing and give it a 10.

I don't think limiting the number of 10's would work. Some games that may deserve a 10 wouldn't get it because a user used their 10 on an equally deserving game. After reading through the conversation between David and tRIUNE, I got an idea.

I thought of something related to your idea. Rather than requiring that the overall score is the average of the other scores, make it so that the overall score can not be more then the highest individual score.

In other words imagine if the individual scores are something like this:

Graphics: 3
Sound: 3
Addictive: 4
Story: 2
Depth: 7
Difficulty: 5

In this case, the Overall score could not be more than 7. Would that be a good compromise? I figured that if none of the individual scores merit a 10, then why should the game earn a 10 overall?

BNuge : Well I think people just want to get a quick 5 or so Viz from rating a game so they sometimes give it a quick 10.

That does make sense and is a possibility.

Davideo7 : Would it be an option to take out the game rating option and apply it with the game review section so that users can give it a rating AND review for viz? and if you were to keep the rating option by itself aswell.. maybe dont offer Viz for that? Just something I thought of.

It's true I've seen loads of rated 10 video games by the same person! well he or she might just be spamming to earn Viz. For myself I have only rate kirby's adventure 10 but I might change it because I like the look of pokemon yellow.

Maybe it would be better if you could rate the games out of 100% for each category, and it would look better on the page having a percentage for the game rather then decimals ( Well to be it would look more professional anyway )

Example -

Pokemon FireRed


Graphics - 87%
Sound - 85%
Addictiveness - 95%
Story - 75%
Depth - 92%
Difficulty - 70%

Overall = 84%

gtwalq : That's a possibility.
