The game's current state is a little screwed up but with a few mods it is great.
Which mods? I'm asking because I honestly was shocked at how boring and hollow I found the game. I've voted 3 because the music is good.

Does anyone else find it hard to take the people who gave it either a 1 or a 10 seriously?
not really I gave it a 5 but I know some people said they only played 5 hrs of it and could not stand to play it anymore so I could see giving it a 1 if that was the case, on the other side some people are in love with this game for whatever reason so I can see giving it a 10 if you like really simple games, with little to no depth.
Got to ask, if this is a "really simple game" "with little to no depth," then what's a game like, say, Plants VS Zombies or heaven forbid, Civ Revolutions?
Anyways 1 being on part with the worst game someone has ever played, if someone got through even five hours, then I'd wonder if there has never been a game they only gave five minutes to. As for the 10, that implies a near perfect game - really? I think even objectively one has to admit there are things holding this game back from perfection by a good margin.
I still have trouble taking 1's and 10's seriously. I just can't see the extremes "BEST EVER" or "WORST EVER" being applied to this game without some hyperbole. And I can't help but wonder if many of the 10's/1's are the Gamespot System Wars Effect in action... When a big PS3 game comes out, all the XBOX owners go to the user rating sections and give it a 1 and the PS3 owners give it a 10 - and when a bit XBOX game comes out, vice-versa. Unfortunately, this forum has become similarly polarized where "like it" or "hate it" have become causes with veritable PR campaigns that go beyond just how we feel about the game. So much theatrics in the forum now, all centered around denouncing or applauding this game.

You're diabolically smartBy a remarkable coincidence the ones outnumber the tens 27 to 13. I suppose it would change the poll numbers more in favour of your line of thinking if you dropped them.
However, I am quite sure if the tens outnumbered the ones 27 to 13 then there would be no objection your honour.

The difference being that some of us have a life.
So why even look at poll results? There is always human bias. It's a subjective poll, not an objective one.
edit: btw 1 and 10 don't mean "worst/best game ever." If they did then only 1 game could ever hold either rating. If that's the case why not have the poll go from 2-9? But wait, then 2 and 9 would represent worst/best. Hmm, better to make it from 3-8. No, 4-7. Well...let's just rate everything 5.5, k?

Yes but more so the ones! I can see people hating the game I totally understand peoples frustration with it not being as good as Civ IV but a 1???!!! WTF its not that bad or they have never played any other bad games. I can see a few people thinking its among the best ever rating it a 10 but both extremes are a bit odd. I saw Civ IV BTS as one of the best games ever and only gave it a 9.

I have not played plants vs zombies, but I would not judge the game based on depth like I would a tbs. also did you get droped on your head as a child? Moderator Action: Please refrain from insults in the future and keep the discussion civil, thanks. I just dont see why you cant understand that some people have different opinions about a game even if they played it for 5 hrs to try it out they might still only think its a 1.Got to ask, if this is a "really simple game" "with little to no depth," then what's a game like, say, Plants VS Zombies or heaven forbid, Civ Revolutions?
Solo, points are well taken. I guess this might just be a clash of how different people read 1's and 10's. I'll leave the subject be.
No worries. Everyone does that sometimes (I know I do).As for your edit, there is a bit of miscommunication here and I'll try and explain.

That was poorly communicated on my part, and my apologies.
That's exactly what I was trying to say. (See? Told you. )The responses themselves are, however, entirely subjective....but it's an opinion poll, so the very subject-matter of the poll IS subjective opinion.
It's funny, but I also voted a 3 here and would put it as a 5 or maybe a 6 on the other poll.Actually your original wording reflects (presumably unconsciously!) how 2k define the scale for their poll. 1 is defined as "worst game ever" and 10 is "best game ever". This is significant, since I think their definitions would cause people to vote slightly differently from a poll which just asks for a rating between 1 and 10. For example, based on their definition, my own vote would have changed from 3 out of 10 here, to 5 out of 10 there.
