If "as a gamer" he loves NSMBWii, then shouldn't that also be his critical opinion? But instead he writes as though critics are looking at issues that wouldn't necessarily matter to a gamer. That there are "flaws" with this game that won't bother the people playing it, but that must matter to him as a critic, for some unspecified reason. A higher mission, if you will, or a greater agenda. This sentence aside and regarding all of these suspect reviews that ping Nintendo games 'cause of "lack of innovation" while praising run-of-the-mill FPS sequels, and lack of online multiplayer while ignoring the shrinking single player campaigns and caustic online environments of some of the competition, I think that it's almost always a mistake to concentrate on what something "lacks" rather than what it provides. |
Yes, about that... I could have criticized the sudden decision of IW about MW2 for the 2 player coop. But I won't complain on that. Why? Nintendo, as IW did, chose that some kind of experiences may not provide what the player is looking for. Nintendo are not fools. They have been involving in gaming industry for 25 years. They know what they have to do and they know where the limitation of a game is. I prefer an absent online that a not-so-good one.
And I agree with Nintendo. This title is so much fun when your friends are playing near you. ING got mad about lack of online and it's totally an unprofessionnal attitude. Really... does really nowadays games have new standards despite of graphics? It's a matter of fun, and nothing else. This title as a great replay value and provide tons and tons of funny moments with your friend.... and also some reaction due to anger =O
