Which platform's leaderboard is the most trustworthy?

Or, in other words, which platform has the least opportunity for score hacking? Just wondering. For me, score is everything and if the boards are untrustworthy, it sours chasing the high scores.

There are only two leaderboards. X360 is sectioned off because Microsoft's backend doesn't talk to anything else. Everything else is together: Sony, Android, iOS, PC all share the same high score list.

Farsight is pretty good about removing fake scores. I've got a number of legit #1s. I think the PC version is best because a keyboard gives you the most precise control, certainly more than any touchscreen. But lots of folks score well on the PS3 too. PC vs PS3 mostly depends on whether you like to play on a couch or a desk.

Input and display lag matters too - a computer monitor is preferable to a laggy TV with too much picture processing.

Interesting. Didn't realise there were only 2 boards. Thanks vikingerik.

Still would prefer to have high scores list by platform (Well at least sortable by the platform your playing on)

I minded it at first. How can I possibly compete with Controller users...

Then I got a top 10 score. And stopped caring lol.

It's kinda cool it's all shared because that means you really are competing with everyone.

Yeah, just would prefer 3 leaderboards. Friends, Platform (The one your on), All.
