| fastyxx said: But the response to these posts is always the same. RE4 is a port (albeit an improved one). GH3 is a port. Game Party is a top seller with 1.44 million sold worldwide with a 25 metacritic rating. Boom Blox is at 560k with an 85 metacritic rating. Ratings aren't everything, but a 25? Really? |
Exactly, ratings are not everything. Price is an important factor.
Boom box: $49 (ok, finally $39 now). I'm not paying $50 for a puzzle game. Probably not $39, but might consider it because of the reviews, or at a sale or used.
Game Party: $15 (actually $19, but you can get it for $15 from amazon right now).
It is strange how sometimes reviewers will take price into consideration, and other times they do not. Wiiware they seem to consider it, but not for box games. Given the price, game party probably deserves at least a 35.
(and in case you are wondering... no I have never played game party... so maybe it doesn't deserve a 35...)
