It isn't the genre or the rating itself that proves that a game is better; it's the standards and the expectations that change ratings. JJ2's standards and expectations were in the two-dimensional range, while UT's were in the three dimensional range. For a 2D game, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was done very well, and so it deserved its high rating, in its range. Likewise the same goes with UT, but it's in a completely different area and time from JJ2.



Also, the same reviewers aren't always reviewing the same games; even the same genre may have different reviewers who think differently of games.



The ratings don't lie, though; they're both worthy games.
