So if Gamespot doesn't like it, does that mean it is a good game?

That was my exact reaction as well. Gamespot hates anything expanded audience. Don't forget, they gave out the following scores: Wii Fit 7.0, Mario and Sonic 6.0, Carnival Games 4.5, Mario Party 6.5, Wii Play 5.4, and Wii Sports 7.8. Heck, even Guitar Hero III only received an 8.0. Since every one of those games has been monster sellers, it's clear that there's a disconnect between Gamespot and the Wii audience.

That said, I don't think Super Sluggers looks like a particularly good game. It will probably sell similarly to last year's Strikers Charged.

 

 

So what if they sell well? Crap/mediocre games sell well all the time. I'd argue that most people who buy games like Wii Fit, Mario and Sonic, Canival Games, Mario Party and Wii Play don't read reviews and buy what they think looks fun or buy off the recommendations of friends.

Also, gamespot seems to be pretty in line with metacritic averages (since I know how much you all value average scores).

Game: GS Score(Difference from MC score)

Wii Fit: 70 (-10)

Mario and Sonic: 60 (-7)

Carnival Games: 45 (-11)

Wii Play: 54 (-4)

Wii Sports: 78 (+2)

They low-balled R&C:TOD way more than any of the games you listed.
