yeah I agree, the grafix won't hold the game back...

and plus gran turismo, Mario tunes are catchy... don't worry about the music score...

I'm really surprised Bioshock was able to stay in the top 10. Of course it got really lucky on the fact that a few reviews were taken off on RE4 PS2 edition that dropped it a point lower. And that a review was taken off on Super Mario 64 that dropped it out of the top 10 cuase now it only has 19 reviews. So a little luck involved in there.

But we'll see if Bioshock will hold its ground.

Anyways on Galaxy its a longshot. I doubt it but always a chance.

Almost certainly - if its as good as I think, it has a real shot at #1.

 - the game will not be too easy. It might not be *that* had to complete, but will be rather hard to get all stars. I gave up in Sunshine, some of the later puzzles/sections were way too hard for me (lost patience).

 - it will be more than long enough (25-30hrs?), and will have coop and maybe other features to improve replayability.

 - graphics are excellent, and will blow people away in terms of what a Wii title can do. As has already been said by some reviewers, it looks like it *is* a 360/PS3 title.

...

My thoughts anyway. Its pretty hard to know until I actually play it, but I'd be willing to place a large quantity of money on the fact that it is my GOTY.

I personally believe this game is gonna rate higher than the last 2 Zelda games. So the top20 seems a safe bet, top10 that's gonna be hard...

It's safe to assume this is gonna be the best Mario platformer ever made! Reviewers have a big sense of history of games... they will automatically draw the comparison to the previous installments and if they have common sense they will reward it accordingly.

I think it has a pretty good chance to make the top 10 along with Brawl. They will both make the top 20 for sure.

I think it is a contender for the top 10, however i really doubt that it will be higher than 8 on it.. only because the way that Wii games are reviewed in general is a bit inconsistant, not to say that some sites dont get it right, but as it is an average, any low result can easily pull it out of top10 contention..

Another question, will any title EVER take out OOT as number one?

I don't think so... Ocarina will never be removed from it's pedastal unless someone invalidates all it's reviews... which shouldn't happen in my life time =)

@ Everdom: Ofcourse! Big chance Zelda will be beaten by Zelda sooner or later. On one condition, the changes on the next Zelda have to be just as big as the changes between SMG and SMS.

@joemanji, i agree that the next zelda will be completely different ( i think miyamato himself said this) but the massive issue is that its going to have to be as big a deal as link going 3D, in any case one of the worst thing that any console based Zelda game has to combat is that it will always be compared to OOT, remember the massive outcry when the first Windwaker videos were released?

As much as i'd love a game to rival OOT, i just dont see that any game can get consistantly better reviews..
