8.5, i thought my eyes were bad ;)

sorry ive just worked 6 days on the trot, its my day off im kinda tired and on top of that ive just a quick watch of shakira the tour on bluray i think its made my eyes go funny.

That would be enough to make anyone's eyes go funny.

Ok, I'll summarise their criticisms here...

-Sword fighting isn't 1:1. Degenerates into wagglefest. Doesn't deliver on the promise of the Motion Plus.
-Lack of 4 player simultaneous mutliplayer.
-No online features to speak of.
-Not much in the way of value for solo players.
-Crap Music.
-Constantly having to calibrate Motion Plus.
-Generally feel that many of the mini games could have been much better/more fleshed out. Some of them just plain suck.
-Sports carried over from the first game have only been marginally improved.

So, I'd say the score is more than justified. It is IGN AU, though. They're really harsh on some games.

QFT!!!

I'll add that this game will sell millions, infact I predict it selling 97 Million this year alone, and you can take that to the bank.

that score is only valid if you consider the original was also a 6-7... to people who think it was a 8-9, this 6.5 does not make any sense...

I'm playing Wii Sports right now. It's the most played game I've ever had. It's brilliant in every way and it got mostly crudy scores...

so I'm ok with this.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Reviews like that will make people think that it's just another casual shovelware. Believe me, I have played it a lot (japanese version), it's much-much better than the original Wii Sports.

Actually no, this score would be valid if the original was below 4. They aren't as close as you think.
