There are several reasons why it is very difficult to gauge the true quality of Wii games from reviews.
1. There are some who think the Wii is killing gaming and have a dislike to it and everything attached to it. (Think PC World and UK Tech sites).
2. Since many of them are not targeted only at the reviewers' tastes (e.g., FPS), the reviewer starts with a bias against the game. (Think IGN and Wii Music).
3. Related to that, many Wii gamers have different tastes so they enjoy things others may not. (Think Microgames).
4. Few game magazines give the Wii equal treatment to the Xbox 360 or PS3. Thus there are fewer reviews and one bad review can drag a metascore down. (Check the number of reviews of Shaun White Snowboarding).

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
