IGN Gives MadWorld a 9/10!

[The Ghost of RubangB]

What's with some of these reviews though?

GamePro (90/100) points out that MadWorld is on "a kiddie console."

1Up (91/100) says that the Wii's "design constraints" forced Platinum Games to be creative, and that it paid off.

GamePro is just being idiots who can't get that snobcore wang out of their mouth long enough to type (even though they're giving the game a 90/100), but what's with what 1Up comment? Are they saying that the Wii is forcing people to be creative? Is this the first time one of these major reviewers has said something this smart? I agree and think that's awesome, but at the same time, a game could have been made with an art style this unique on any system capable of 3-D.




@Khuutra, also, the consoles were way more expensive when you take inflation into account. At launch, the NES, SNES, N64, and GC were all $200, so after inflation, they were actually lowering their price with every new system. Until now, with the overpriced POS Wii.

The NES "Control Deck" package cost $200 for 1 NES, 2 controllers, and SMB. $200 in 1985 is $401 today according to Wikipedia. I've seen a list of console launch prices of every generation adjusted for inflation, but I can't find any good pricing info on games. Either way, even if they were $40 in the 80's, that's $80 today. And I know some games cost more than $40 in the 80's, so that would be close to $100 today.

Our games are cheaper and longer, so when people complain about a game being only 5 hours, we really should beat 'em up.
