Shadow Man N64/DC vs. PS1 - totally different reviews

I was just looking at the gamefaqs.com reviews, trying to decide if I should buy this game. The N64 and Dreamcast reviews are all 9's and 10's with comments like "Next best thing to Zelda". But the PS1 reviews are all 4's and 5's and "Dead on Arrival"!!!

How can the SAME GAME, have such huge differences in scores?
Weird.

They did a horrible job porting it to the PS1 it's very glitchy with horrible framerate. The n64 version is a bit censored so if you have a dreamcast, that is the far superior version of the 3 as it runs the smoothest, looks the prettiest, and is uncut. It is a great gothic shooter, much darker than soul reaver. And some of the later levels will creep you out.

So to summarize DC version great, N64 version good, PS1 version piss poor.
 
Yeah, it's all about the porting. Grandia II for example. Playing through it on my Dreamcast, it quickly became my favorite game of all time. Playing through it on my PS2, however, made me want to vomit.
