Apparently it's better than Mario Kart Wii!

Mario Kart's metascore is 82, btw

Holy crap. Are videogame reviewers actually examining whether a title will satisfy its intended audience instead of examining whether it will satisfy The Only Audience That Matters™?

Nice, they changed Metacritic! It was so flawed.

Whoever looks at Meta Ratings to find a game to buy is flat out dumb.

Those reviews aren't from major sites. So if the major sites give it good reviews, then I'll start cracking jokes about flying pigs (not Hell freezing over, since that already happened when The Eagles did their reunion).



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

No, it's jumping the gun. Cherry picking would mean there are more reviews out, but they are ignored.

Whoa, am I right to think you guys believe I am attacking Mario Kart Wii, because that was not my intention in making this thread (if this is what you guys believe I am doing).
