Wow.... how can two sites be so opposed?

[thanny]

namely, whats with the ridiculously low scores 1up are giving Wii games!?

Skate it:

85

IGN

Skate It comes highly recommended. The original Skate rejuvenated skating games with a new control scheme and a real sense of freedom, and that success carries over to the Wii.

25

1UP

And that's a small taste of the poor control scheme. The slightest twitch or turn of the Wii-mote creates a wholly new effect -- and frequently, it's one you don't even want. It's even worse on the Wii Balance Board; by default, the turning is overly responsive, even after reducing the board's sensitivity. However, this makes it harder for the device to register a trick.

 

Castlevania Judgement

75

IGN

In the list of games I'm dying to play in the Castlevania series, a 3D fighter was about as far from the top as possible, but Judgment was a pleasant surprise.

16

1UP

As a fighter, Castlevania Judgment employs too many design ideas that are neither well planned nor well executed. It's a strange misstep for the beloved series, one that Konami hopefully learns from.

 

I can understand differences in ratings, but surely that is the type of score you give a shovelware game like carnival games or the brothers in arms port? IGN love skate it and were raving about it in the podcasat, and 1up rate it as one of the worst games on the Wii. Now i want to try these two games, because i cant believe they are that bad!
