No wii owners are not allowed to spew this BS becuase last year when MP3 came out and everyone was so hyped about it. Then the game got an 8.5 from Gamespot and a 9.5 from IGN then all you heard was how much better IGN was at reviewing wii games and how they said the gfx matched the HD console gfx.

No I won't allow this. You cannot disown IGN.

 

Isn't this evidence of exaclty what I am talking about?  I don't care that the game got the score it did, I am complaining about the methodology.  If this was a PSN or a XBLA game with the same criticism, I would be complaining just as much.

Then why are you claiming that developers randomly lower scores just because it's a game on the Wii? Sounds like you're defending only one console to me. And Vagabond's point holds true as well.

 

I am not singleing out the Wii, but IGN's treatment of the Wii with regards to graphics ratings.  I have seen numerous ratings that referenced the games graphics relative to "High Def" consoles, and reducing scores due to the fact they are not on par.  With that rating basis, a Wii game will never be able to get a 10 rating on graphics.  

The point I was trying to make, which seems to be lost on so many, is that the reviews at IGN seem to be read from a script.
