Well, I agree with Matt of IGN Wii a lot except that I hate the god damn comparision of Wii's graphic's against the 360/ps3... WE KNOW IT'S NOT AS POWERFUL DO YOU HAVE TO SAY IT IN EVER REVIEW?!?!?!

He keeps comparing because it's part of the review.  If the game is multiplatform, it's almost obligatory for him to state the obvious.  Then in comparison, if it's not a multiplatform game, he has to state that so we know he is reviewing wii graphics in terms of wii graphics.  I think it's part of what keeps his reviews so honest. You know after seeing graphics of what ps3/360 can do, wii graphics may seem so much less, and he reminds us and himself so he doesn't write off all wii game graphics that may actually be good and pushing the wii to the limit.

I also like IGN reviews because they don't just average there scores i.e. sound, gameplay, replay value, etc.  They put the score they think fits the game.  Sure stuff like gameplay and sound scores play a role in the overall score, but they don't get lazy and just average it out.  They understand that a game with weak music or graphics can be made up for in incredible gameplay or story.

I think IGN reviews deserve more respect then some people are willing to give them.

If they do it in multiplatform games fine but not in exclusive games. That's the only thing I dont like. On the other hand IGN has by far the most honest and unbiased Wii reviews of any professional site.
