is only a 76 on Metacritic.

Your new buddies Da Gameboyz gave it a 73.

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 , half , 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 , , , space simulators, strategy games, , etc, are automatically worse than a game with a linear, movie-like storyline, and don't deserve good ratings? 

 

 

 

Ok, putting words in my mouth

They are judging it on a wide variety of things, it prob deserved a little higher as it was a couple of games but i wouldnt go higher then 80 in all honesty. The thing is they are very seperate games, and sold seperately wouldnt get 10 percent each, they are very basic games. It is a nice starter for a console, but you do not pay 399 (aus) for a system for that game, you get it for another game
