Oh, those angry Aussies. I remember when I lived there. So biased, a lot of them. Hell, I had one actually try and insult me just n the spec that I was American - and this was before the Iraq war and 9/11. I think the heat makes them crazy. No telling what was up the reviewr's butt, since its winter down there.

@maykissthebride - I see you're somewhat new here. It's usually for the best to ignore Okey's posts when it's a Wii related topic, he's a cheerleader for any negative Wii news. I recommend WordsofWisdom's ignore script.

Why is that you all immediately scream bias when 99% of you haven't played the game, there are virtually no other reviews to compare this to and nothing in the past gives us reason us to believe this reviewer is a "Wii hater"?

I give up. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Wii Sports Resort is perfect and this review is full of shit. I know better than this person who has played the game extensively over the past few weeks despite the fact that I myself have never even been close to touching it in my life!

Beyond the game review

That's funny. Because I'm sure that reviewers for gaming sites do the same things we do here, and understand the market the same way we do. They know that WSR isn't for the "hardcore". If I can realize that WSR is just for people looking to have a good time in sessions with their friends, I'm sure that the guys at IGN realize this too. That being said...this game just MIGHT not be that great. Is that hard to understand?

If that is the case, then why didn't they review it based on what the market wants in the game rather then some arbitrary standards that IGN thinks are importaint? Basically, they didn't write it for consumers or with their readers in mind.

And this is why I hate gaming press.

Because you review it based on the tastes of your main audience, not based on the target market of what you are reviewing.

Is that so hard to understand ????

Most of the people visiting IGN site are gamers, a majority of them young men I would say ( seeing how IGN has a a decent section about babes every week that's what I would expect).

And WSR is probably not the game most teenagers/young adults men will want to pick up first....

 

So the review does make sense based on the tastes of their audience.
