It's not very well written either really.
Fairly sure they said the game only had 4/5 levels, hence the lower score.
If only they'd carried on playing for a bit longer.

Your right I'm wrong. Just checked. I must be thinking of something else

It was printed as a 6 in the mag, which the following issue stated that had been a misprint and should have been an 8, iirc.

The review was only a single page and it started with them bitching about the fact that they'd had to go to HMV and buy a copy of the game to review. It then read relatively positively but with a 6 at the end. There was then a small footnote the following month (perhaps when the editorial team felt like they appeared to be miles off the zeitgeist?) re-scoring an 8. I always presumed it was sour grapes.
