The ability to have each Wii owner review games and have those reviews acessable from the Wii is an awesome idea. Obviously 3rd parties would have the option to include PIN codes with their games for weighted reviews, but it would not be necessary. Using the UPC codes would be too easy to exploit (each box of SMG has the same UPC after all.) Honestly the Nintendo would be genius to implement it with weighted averages for people who not just played the game on their Wii but submit a PIN proving they own it: Want your review to really count then buy the game! HEH HEH HEH! I do not see anyway to really cheat the system if it only counts reviews from people who score games the way you do. If you are allowing each Mii to submit a review instead of just once per system people could make a trash Mii to hurt reviews of certain games. Yet, if it checks the play history on the Wii to make sure you've played the game before allowing a review to be submitted, and gives more clout to owners then sales likely won't see much of a negative impact from trolls. I only have one question: My aunt buys a Wii and only owns Wii Sports, how will it show her reviews if she has yet to submit a review for Sports, and even after that is only one game so I immagine lots of people who have very different tastes in games could all rate Sports an 'A'. How would that be delt with? |
What about all the games which have already been released and don't have these codes?
Also, there's no way I'd submit a review with the current set up. It'd take forever sitting there with the Wiimote selecting each letter individually. If there was a way of accessing it from a pc it'd be more practical.
