Forums - Nintendo Discussion - EDGE reviews Mario Galaxy 2... Oh dear

lazyrider said:
Wow, the "oh dear" lead me to believe it was a negative review... Good for Nintendo and the Wii, SMG2 seems to be great and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

As this will become a discussion on reviews and Edge reviews in particular, is Edge known to give out 10s easily?[1] Is it pro-Nintendo?[2] Waht did they give the first SMG?[3]

 

[1] Very much no. Edge is one of the reviewers that most closely resembles a bell curve with average of 5/10.

 

[2] No

 

[3] 10/10

you tricky bastard op ;)
lol, this is excelent news. I can't wait to play this baby.



                                                                           

People complain about Edge because they use the whole review scale without treating the 10 like some sacrosanct ideal. I love the way they use the review scale, and they hand out scores about as often as it's good to do so, more than any other 10-point review source I've seen.

Also that's a very nice review quote.



The only Wii game I'm interested about this year, the first one is easily my fav Wii game ever so bring it on!



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

so it does nothing to redefine the genre but it still got a ten if this was a ps3 game it would get two points deducted for that?? I am sorry but Edge really have lost it they really are not very consistant with their reviews...

This review answered the most anxious questions I had about Galaxy 2.

1) Will it be as full of joy as the original?

2) Will it feel tired and recycle ideas?

Both with a resounding no.
I got a bit of my hype back.

And I love Edge. Very few magazines would write such a subjective review.



This is invisible text!

nice so this is second 10 after Bayonetta?? cooool...
now only the PS3 doesn't have a perfect 10 =(

HAHAHA! Sorry buddy, but Edge is NOT biased against the PS3. They have given 10/10 to 12 games, including

 

GT1

The PS3 version of Orange box (despite it sucking)

GTAIV

Little Big Planet

Bayonetta

1 PS3 Exclusive game, not trying to contradict your statement, just clarifying these scores. Bayonetta and Orange Box were tested on the Xbox, EDGE scores are transferable across platforms (i.e. they don't test it on both).
