Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So Jim Sterling reviews Kid Icarus

http://www.destructoid.com/review-kid-icarus-uprising-224073.phtml

Kid Icarus: Uprising is equal parts tremendous and terrible, with a fine line clearly separating the two distinct territories. Unfortunately, since each stage ends on a sour note, the overall emotion one gains is that of bitter disappointment. It's a game that repeatedly starts strong and ends despicably, and as much as I want to adore it, I ended every session cursing its name. For its humor, its ambition, and its genuinely thrilling flight segments, it deserves a lot of credit. However, everything else it does is a bitter pill to swallow and damages all the genuine good that has been accomplished.

5/10

I like to keep track of Sterling's fine reviews.

 

Btw IGN just gave it 8.5/10.

Rol's psyche remains a deep mystery.



And you are posting this bad written review (seems to be the only review with a bad score) because? You are Jim Sterling and want clicks?

No I'm just recruiting.

So just because he gave a bad score it's automatically "bad written"? Jeez...
A review is not more than the opinion of the reviewer, and everyone is entitled to have an opinion. Furthermore reviewers are not objective and they don't have to give a game a high score just because others do it.

Btw, I don't care about review scores at all...

His criticisms seemed valid to me. I'm not sure if the controls are bad enough to take away so many points, but I've never played the game. Considering how Jim seems to have had the same complaints as everybody else, I'll give him that.



Love and tolerate.

This game is getting mixed reviews. It's not like it's only Sterling.
Gamexplain gave it a 6. Game Informer a 7. Then it got some 9's.
Who knows.....



40/40 they said.



I pre-ordered it yesterday mainly for the free kid Icarus download. Only time will tell if i like it

It seems this game has a love hate relationship from both average reviews and very high reviews.



Former something....
