It seems that IGN automatically gives +1 to every game they consider "hardcore" on Wii (or whatever their stereotypes about "hardcore" are).
NMH (7.8) as good as WSR (7.7)? NMH2 (8.8) as good as NSMBW (8.9)? MadWorld (9.0) and TvC (9.0) both better than all these games? I like Suda51 for his quirky art design and twisted view of things, but he's not as good game designer as those who made WSR and NSMBW. I've played NMH for about 3 hours forcing myself and eventually I gave up, never finished the game.
Fool me once, shame on you, Mr.Suda, fool me twice, shame on me.
