How do you use your ratings scale?
ejamer:
I'm not saying it's a good game, and wouldn't have said that as a child either. E.T. is a poor game no matter how you slice it... but it's definitely not the worst game game ever, or even the worst on the Atari platform.
Ambition is all relative. Again, given the resource and hardware constraints, "ambitious" is exactly the right word in my opinion. You are free to disagree.

If you completely ignore everything else about the game and rated just the gameplay alone, I wouldn't give it more than a 1. It's a game of Frogger rendered nearly unplayable. ET has more broken gameplay elements than it. Even as "porn" it fails.
The only value it has is as a torture device where other people play for our own amusement like the Roman days of old where men fought each other to draw blood with the chance to see the spectacle that is death.
Fortunately for Custer, it doesn't get a 0 because it runs and it is a game.

it gets a 3 because i find it hilariously bad and because of that im having fun at it's expense because of the very concept of that kind of a game on Atari. where as the rest are bad and not hilarious. Seems pretty consistent to me. It's like how people like to watch really bad movies to laugh at. Considering how im not a professional reviewer i dont need to rate gameplay just how much fun im having.
ultimately whether or not you agree is irrelevent because its my own personal scale. I made this thread because i was curious to see how it differs from person to person not to say "this is how every and all scales should be" I'll just leave it at that because this thread got derailed right from the get-go.

How I rate:
1 Star - Awful
2 Stars - Bad
3 Stars - Okay
4 Stars - Good
5 Stars - Great
