No. Just no. Don't compare a Trauma Center review to a Fire Emblem review from TWO DIFFERENT SITES.

1UP scored FE:RD like a 9 or 8.5 out of 10. 1UP is not bias like Gamespot (or paid like Gamespot by Microsoft).

1UP didn't complain about the difficulty, they complained about the precision of the game. It is not 100% perfect when it comes to accuracy like it should be. When you are performing EXACTLY where the game tells you, then the game should know that you are doing it correctly but it doesn't.

Therefore, it fails at life.

Funny how none of the other gaming sites seemed to struggle with it, only 1UP.

Face it 1UP is a pathetic review site, Gamespot reviews big games low for publicity but I severely doubt they are actually strongly biased against or for any console. 1UP has consistently shown that they don't like the Wii and generally rate its games very low, in particular games that make heavy use of the wiimote.


Just to justify my simplification of their summary, to me, saying "We didn't get it" says that the puzzles were too hard for them.  Plus, any time you mention "insane difficulty spikes," I take it that you're talking about the difficulty.  Of course, that could just be the way I understand something like that.  Honestly, I doubt they really played the game that much at all.  One of their five paragraphs referred to what others had said about playing it, and there was more mixed throughout the rest of the paragraphs.  Another was spent complaining about how Atlus should be doing better.  There was really very little valuable information.
