You know, I really disagree on Sterling on many things (blaming the Wii audience for not buying Madworld in droves, and for buying Just Dance), but I'm not going to go after him just because he didn't like one game. He's given quite a few non outlier reviews, and also feels that 4.5 is still decent but below average, instead of "anything below 6 is crap" scale that a lot of the major sites seem to follow.

I should also add that several previews he wrote showed he had high hopes for this game, so him being disappointed means he did NOT want to just bash it for the sake of it.

Yes, but have you in fact played this game?

If not, then I can see where you're coming from. HOWEVER, if you've played this game, then you'll know his score is ridiculously low. Lower than Sonic 4 BY A LONG WAY? That's not right man, not right...

 

Also, themanwithnoname, i'd recommend NSMB and Sonic Rush for the DS, and, if you can, get Colours and the galaxy games for the Wii as a starting point ;)

I repeat, however the score is, it's honest, because he showed before that he genuinely hoped it would be good. He wasn't out to get the game. If you disagree with the number, then you're falling for the fallacy that the number is what matters. It's why it gets the number that matters, and so far a lot of posts seem to just want to bash him for the score alone.
