wow this is rediculas its a review. Its one mans opinion. everyone needs to calm down
there are times that i completly disagree with IGNS reviews (prototype, AC) yet do i cry me a river...no.

I remember when alot of reviewers reviewed LO for example. Gave it low scores for loading times. Yet the final copies had less loading time because the final builds had some work done on them. Did most reviewers care? nope. They reviewed based on their copy.

 

People wouldn't be nearly as up in arms if the "review" were well written and defensable, but had given the game a 1 or 2 our of 5.

 

People are pissed because this "reviewer" obviously hates the Wii, insults the system (and thereby its audience), and goes on to write a "review" that is so full of holes that it's painfully obvious that he neither cared to, nor wanted to review the game. Not only could he not be bothered to review it intelligently, even if he hated it, but he had to add in clear insults about one of the best looking Wii games looking no better than an N64 game.

Something tells me that he didn't think Halo 1 or 2 looked like an N64 game.

So really, opinions are one thing. Lying, and trying to tarnish a product because you hate the system are another thing entirely.

Imagine if Little Big Planet had been reviewed, and the reviewer said things like "I think this game would have been better on the Xbox 360. I didn't bother with the online. Controls suck, 'cause I really hate the PS3 controllers."
