Wow, Zim that's a neat feature of GameRankings I didn't know about. Having explored a little more, it's evident that the general impressions in other threads of IGN, 1up and GameSpot are accurate. IGN has the closest reviews accross systems, and rates more posititvely in general than the other two sites. GameSpot is fairly close (PS3 = +0.1, 360 = -1.0, Wii = -2.0), with a slight systematic bias against the Wii and an even slighter one against the 360. That fits in well with the fact that they're all over the map for ratings. And 1up is the most hardcore of the three, and definitively has an anti-Wii bias. (PS3 and 360 ~= -3.5, Wii = -10.0). So there, the proof is in the proverbial pudding, and that debate is over. Thanks. |
Actually, Gamespot's % from average is really weird if you look closely at their game scores. They lowball games like Zelda and Metroid while giving a game like Warioware the best score out of all the Wii games. They have a lot of titles with large differences in ratings. For Warioware to be their highest rated Wii game, I have to throw out all their opinions. It's a fun game but I wouldn't give it higher than an 8.5/10
Warioware | 91% | +9.3% |
Twilight Princess | 88% | -6.3% |
Metroid Prime 3 | 85% | -7% |
Super Monkey Ball | 83% | +10% |
Red Steel | 55% | -10% |
Scarface | 58% | -12.8% |
Far Cry Vengeance | 55% | +17.5% |
Harry Pottwer OotF | 50% | -21% |
To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
