Madden 08 reviews

Yes different reviewers, wow, fine. But to quote shams: Don't forget about "relative expectations".

But is that really fair? It's all one game, Madden 08, and many people will read these reviews before deciding which version of Madden to buy (and perhaps base which console to buy this generation on these reviews, in the case of many Madden-only people).

As shams stated, the Wii version is being graded with lower expectations than the other versions, it is being graded against other Wii games not against the PS3 and 360 versions of the same game. This seems likely based on the Presentation and Sound scores.

Of course its reasonable!

The DS version could rock - yet you want to give the "graphics 1/10", because its so far below a PS3?

And what if there is an uber-PC version that blows the PS3/360 out of the water? Do those versions now get a "4/10", and everything else gets a "1/10"??

Makes perfect sense to me.

The ONLY people who are annoyed at this, are fanboys who are pissed-off that a Wii title scored higher for gfx than a PS3 title! (and I'm not talking about you sinha ;).
