Hence why I don't really consider Metacritic to be an accurate source for review scores. Not that review scores should be followed in the first place, which was my point. But on avg, Metacritic scores are lower than the 'avg' because of the reviewers who give games random 3.0 when everyone else givers it a 8.5-9.0. And like you said, the user scores which are even worse (like people giving the game a 1.0 just to make the score go down). My views were just based on what I saw on the three 'major' review sites. Namely IGN, Gamespot and GameTrailers. And like I said, they've even flat out said they downscore games because they compare them to the HD games. |
If you actually have a problem with a certain review on a certain site, then support it with evidence. Don't just fall back on the 'reviewers hate the Wii' argument that we've been hearing for years.
Let's take a look at those three. IGN, Gamespot, and Gametrailers
Kirby
IGN: 90
Gamespot: 85
Gametrailers: 84
Donkey Kong
IGN: 90
Gamespot: 85
Gametrailers: 90
AC: Brotherhood
IGN: 80
Gamespot: 85
Gametrailers: 90
Yes, curse those biased assholes. If only they'd give Wii games a fair chance! Oh wait.....
As for Metacritic, Donkey Kong has no Critic reviews under 70, and only 3 user reviews under 70. Kirby has two critic reviews under 70 (two 60's) and the same for the user reviews. I wouldn't say either of these games have had users or critics intentionally trying to bring the score down with onscenely low scores.
