So the most hyped Wii game in recent time has failed to break the 80 barrier . I'm not one to rely on a subjective measure of quality to argue a games quality but the reviews would at least indicate that this game is not of a high standard. It might still be fun though.

Um no... Several unprofessional reviews are drawing the metacritic score down.  Most of the reviews have been between 75-85 though.  That doesn't indicate a severe lack of quality.  Just mainly that the Wii isn't as graphically advanced and doesn't have as robust an online system as the other systems.  Actually owning the game.  I can tell you it is an 8.0-8.5 game.  Unfortunately, other things like level design similar to older games (indoor environments and rooms connected by corridors) and a story that requires the player to work to understand how deep it is are also keeping it down.  It is a very good online FPS with exceptional controls and fast gameplay.  I have a PS3 too with all of the good FPSs and it still is worth having in my library because it feels and plays different than anything on that system.  Sadly, unless a game is basically Halo or CoD with better graphics it will get panned these days.  Killzone 2 got lower scores than it should have because it didn't control exactly like CoD and this did because it doesn't have the graphics or online system mainly..
