Movie reviewers have this reputation of being elitist snobs. Game reviewers don't have that reputation yet, so people expect their reviews to fit the mainstream. With the Wii, that is throwing everything off. |
Michael Bay's Transformers got slammed to Hell and gone by the critics in general. Roger Ebert, the greatest critical voice in cinema today, called it a four-star movie simply because it fulfilled what it was trying to do. He deviated from the mean and median opinions so far he's practically in another country. Nobody says anything.
This demand that game reviewers all think alike is bizarre and worrisome and has been so for years.
