I think the people who say the reviewer obviously hates the Wii actually need to follow the link and read the whole review.

Reviewer's points:

Pro:

• Aiming is good.
• Interface is customizable.

Cons:

• Graphics are great for Wii, not-so-great overall.
• Game is short--only 5 hours long.
• Ending is pretty much non-existent with no final boss fight.
• Melee controls are bad.
• All-Seeing-Eye is annoying.

As a whole it's a fairly decent review that touches on gamemplay, length, controls, and visuals.  

The people screaming fanboy and Wii-hater here are projecting their own insecurities on this guy.  I mean, have you all gone so far off the fanboy deep end that you can't tell the difference between fair criticism from genuine Wii-hate?

Did your really read the review. It really doesn't seem like it. Besides being unprofessional with his jabs at Nintendo and the Wii overall, he contradicts himself several times. He didn't play the game in its entirety. He didn't play the multiplayer. He said the story was confusing, yet admitted that he skipped through the cut scenes. I could go on.

You would need to learn the difference between fair criticism and genuine Wii-hate it seems. Fair criticism would be playing the final build of the game. Playing all of the game play modes. Actually watching the cut scenes and then giving your view of the games story. Being fair would also require the review to compare the game to other games on the platform. You don't judge the graphics of a game by what other platforms are capable of. I think FFIV DS looks good but if the game looked identical on PSP, I'd think the graphics were sub par. I used to review games and even as a teenager I conducted myself with more professionalism than this guy.

For the bolded. He was given a build by Sega, and they said that build could be used for review for this months issue, if they gave him a complete build, it would miss print, and would be added next issue. By then the review is worthless for the most part.

I don´t belive that excuse for a second, I think it´s his way of trying to get out of the corner he backed himself in.

Even if we assume it´s true it´s no excuse, he should have at the least informed his readers that it was not a final build and the parts he couldnt play was missing but he didnt.

He should have waited with the review utill he could give it a fair chance but he didnt.

This is my biggest problem: In the forums when he states (lies according to me) he didnt have the final build he also says his collegues had the final build and had had it for sometime.

If his colleugues had it why did he not try and play the parts missing from his so called collegues? Why was he the only one of all of his collegues not having the final build?

All this shows that he is either lying or just didn´t want to make the effort because it´s a wii game, I personally think it´s both.
