The only games that seem to have a really severe problem with that are Whack-A-Kass and Splat-A-Sloth.
Most games don't raise a problem with that system.

Hmmm... I didn't notice that.

They have to do it someway I guess, at least this way people who make usernames beginning with A thinking it's gonna make them first in stuff are caught out.

I think it's not fair either, TNT should have gave out trophies to everyone with that score, not only whos name starts with the last letters of the alphabet.

Agreed. I'm personally going to send a complaint (not that it will be read).

No wonder i'm always the top of my avatar number on the highscore lists... well, it's good for me :roll: I guess they are a bit unfair though...

I never really noticed that before! :o I did wonder the very few times I ever get a score that could be high enough to get a trophy, why my rank always seemed to be like 3/4 of the way through the list. I never bothered to look to see if it was alphabetical in any way before...

I think that is bull... They should do it by the first to recieve that score... Or even better they should just put same scores beside each other...

I sent a bug report a week ago. fixed? nope.
