GameSpot gave Star Fox a 7 while literally saying it couldn't test the online multiplayer.
The Original Review
GameSpot — Steve Watts
Rated: 7/10 · Published:
“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try any of the pre-release online multiplayer sessions, so I’ll have to reserve my judgments on that aspect until I can try it in a live environment.”
The math aint mathing. GameSpot assigned Star Fox a 7/10 while openly admitting it could not test the online multiplayer, which the review itself calls one of the release's marquee features. That is not a review score; that is a weather forecast written from inside a basement with a picture of a cloud taped to the wall. If a restaurant critic says, 'Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try the food,' we do not hand them a Michelin calculator and a little napkin crown.
Was this review of a review fair?
