OXM SAYS:

An Xbox 360 won't recognize a USB flash drive or another external hard drive as a memory unit, so you can't save...MORE

Review Scores Explained

WORDS BY: Paul Curthoys

11: Perfect

The unicorn. Will never happen. Never.

10: Classic

One of those rare and very best of games. Every Xbox gamer simply must buy it and play it, whether or not they’re a fan of the genre.

 9.0 or 9.5: Awesome

Very impressive. One of the best games around. May have a few minor problems, but they’re small and very easily tolerated.

----Editors’ Choice is 9.0 & above----

 8.0 or 8.5: Great

A great game and an A-list title, but either it either has niche appeal, suffers from minor technical or design issues, or has peripheral problems like a crummy interface.

 7.0 or 7.5: Good

Has a lot of good things going for it, but there’s a big problem or two, something that limits its appeal or gets downright annoying. Could also be a game that aims low but hits surprisingly high.

 6.0 or 6.5: Decent

An adequate game with something interesting to offer, but it has some truly significant issues. Otaku won’t mind much, but the rest of the world will.

 5.0 or 5.5: Mediocre

Very unspecial and average in the worst sense of that word. You can’t pound it for being terrible, but it’s hard to find something to recommend it for.

 4.0 or 4.5: Deficient

It has some very serious flaws and problems, but you can play it if you’re interested. It works and does what it sets out to do, but it probably never aimed that high in the first place.

3.0 or 3.5: Wounded

It has some crippling problems and is poorly conceived and designed. You can imagine someone wanting to try it, but not that many people, and they all should rent before they buy.

 0.0 – 2.5: Broken

Just really bad. Lacks a single redeeming quality, and/or it’s busted to varying degrees in its design, quality, or basic functionality. No gamer of any stripe should bother.
