@viper  you said it yourself sites are using different reviewers, can you show me a site that the same reviewer look at both games and still give Conduit 2 a lower score?? Cause if you cant then their is no bias or "agenda" against Wii.


I never stated that just because a score was lower by a different reviewer that it equated bias.  For one, I never even used that word.  I used the word 'indifference' which has different connotations than 'bias'.

Take a moment and read the difference in some reviews from the 2 games by the same publications.  Most are fair but some just seem to vent.

1. point taken

2. what are these games, the only game that got bad reviews was the original Just Dance and having played it it blew, are you seriously suggesting that a dance game that you can play sitting down and still pass is actually a good dancing game, notice how Dance Central got better reviews cause it actually worked, hell Just Dance 2 got much better reviews so whay other games you feel that got bashed unfairly

3. i notice it i just think people who are saying it are flat out wrong, now there are some people who do really hate the Wii (that one guy from GI) but the vast majority, at least from what i read, arent bias.

4 what hit games dont they like COD gets like 8.0 the least, i do agree with the hyped up releases though

5. im commenting on the original, I played it, it was mediocore and the metascrores reflex that mediocority. As for the sequel, dont know havent played it, what do you do?? Go by the word of people who supposedly hate Wii or people who you know have a bias for anything on WIi?? ill save my money and go with the former



@viper1 i could agree with that and your right some do vent. I just get a little tired of all these conspiracy theories against the Wii

1. If they hate the Wii, they would make you avoid a game you would potentially like.

2. The bolded parts show false dichotomy, and making a strawman of the people who I trust. Try ANOTHER kind of group.



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

^^^ i can read multiple reviews and tell which guys are full of crap and which are not, and the vast majority are not, im not saying there arent douchbags out there that a spewing crap but i just ignore them, this vast conspiracy is nonsense.

False dichotomy??? are you kidding?? actually now that i read that, it is messed up. Their are people who hate the Wii and there are people who love it. All im saying is going by the word of people who love it is just as bad as going by people who hate it. One will overlook flaws becasue its on a system they like and another will exagerate flaws on a system they hate. BOTH are journalism at its absolute crappiest. Now i could be wrong but you seem to follow the love group and thats your right but you have to know that they arent exactly partial themselves. I like the middle group, thats who im part of if something sucks it sucks no matter what the system. Thats why i look at multiple reviews from people, not sites, i trust. I think GI is a great mag with great reviews. but if I see Tim Turi's name on anything with Wii, im cautious(he was actually alright with Sonic Colors) Greg Miller, think he's great. but he seems to kiss the Wii's ass a little too much (GE 9??? its not that good, Conduit 1 8.5??? hell not it wasnt even close to that)

"All im saying is going by the word of people who love it is just as bad as going by people who hate it."

That's still assuming I'm going by how people feel about the system in one way over the other. Did it occur to you to include people who judge games on their own merits, not who made them and what system they are on?

^^^ your the one who always brings up conspiracy theories about industry bias against the Wii, thats pretty telling about your feelings on the game. I read reviews of people who judge games on their own merits, thats what ive been saying, do you??? Because if we're talking about that group it appears that most people find the game "mediocore" A 64-69



"your the one who always brings up conspiracy theories about industry bias against the Wii, thats pretty telling about your feelings on the game."

No, because that assumes me thinking "gaming community hates the Wii"="anything on the Wii is good".

And if they dock points for being on the Wii, that isn't juding on its own merits.

^^^ most of the reviews i read do NOT dock points for it being on WIi, what reviews are you reading???  and if they add points just cause its on WIi is just as bad, hell adding points to anything just cause of the system its on is bad
