7.5 in lasting appeal? Wii Sports is still played by a lot of people and this gets 7.5? It's clear there's a problem with reviewers nowadays.

Lack of online? So what.... you can say IGN is reviewing for their "hardcore audience", but some days ago there was a poll on IGN that asked about online gaming on the Wii, and "didn't care at all" had more votes. It seems IGN doesn't know their own reader's tastes.

no online, this far into the generation, and by nintendo? please, dont fool yourself.  I see this as a pretty fair review, and nintendo should be ashamed of themselves.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they will be very ashamed after all the money they'll make with this game..... Wii Sports didn't had online and it's still played by many people from time to time. IGN and many other people want online, but the mayority of consumers don't care or prefer the local multiplayer. The important thing is that this game gives you a lot of replayability, online or not, so a 7.5 doesn't seem fair to me.

i'm sorry, but you're missing the point.  i am a huge and loyal fan of ninty, but as a gamer, active in the gaming society who loves him some online, I just feel embarassed by this apathy and think that its a true lack of consideration from people whom I think hold there fans in very high esteem (or at least used to). its not about the profit, or the money. ninetendo could design a game based on smearing shit on a wall and it would still sell millions. 

Its a question of morality, not financial success.  They should be ashamed for letting the people like us down.  But hey, we're getting pretty used to it, aren't we?

 

I'm sorry you feel that way for not having online, but that was a game design. Sure, they could had included it, but the offline multiplayer may give an endless replay value to this game, so why a 7.5 for no online? I'm not talking about the overall score but the lasting appeal. They lowered the score because the lack of online but we know the first Wii Sports is still played today and will probably be played years later.

Should a game that offers the best online experience but no local multiplayer get the same score in lasting appeal? Even if it offers endless replayability? I think not. Online or not, if they have tons of replay value then they should have a better score.
