Review Scoring
New Game Network rates titles based on a free-form system that includes category scores and a final score out of 100. The categories scored include Presentation, Gameplay, Single Player, Multiplayer, and Performance. The overall rating is determined based on category scores, but not as a mathematical average. There is also a tiered system for the overall score that gives readers an overall impression of the game based on the number.
The website’s review scores are currently tracked at GameStats[7][8] and N4G[9].
