Wii Sports is only a 76 on Metacritic.

Your new buddies Da Gameboyz gave it a 73.

Digital News gave it a 50.

It's one of the most popular of all time and a favorite of mine.  So yes, I don't trust Metacritic either.

Just look through the top 50.  That's only games rated 94 and up.  It's half Nintendo, half GTA, and there are 3 Tony Hawk games in the top 10.

Great thread .

 

Personally i think as fun as wii sports is, its missing vital component.

Great story line, great substance, personally a game needs all the above, wii sports doesnt have that hence the 76 rating.

So, basically, you say that ALL racing games, sports games, tycoon games, space simulators, strategy games, puzzle games, etc, are automatically worse than a game with a linear, movie-like storyline, and don't deserve good ratings?
