You have a game in a genre that many reviewers have a bias against on a console that many reviewers have a bias against, so the answer is no.
These early reviews are much more favorable, because they aren't done by Americans (and it's their reviews who count for the Metascore). |
That's ridiculous.
All reviews should count, not just ones from one particular country.
Anyway, if anything I think the reviews would be better because it's on the Wii, it's one of the only JRPG's it has. If it was on the PS3 / XBOX 360 where it would be compared to Valkyria Chronicles, Tales of Vesperia, Final Fantasy XIII etc. then the reviewers wouldn't rate it as high.

It's the way the system works. If the review isn't in English, then it doesn't count (unless Metacritic has changed that already).
Xenoblade has been compared to HD JRPGs in its reviews, so it's not like it has been rated in a vacuum. It should tell you something, if a Wii game gets compared to the best the HD consoles have to offer and still comes out on top or is at least being rated similarly.

Hmm, I don't know really, if that console is lacking a game in a particular genre, when it finally gets it the review scores are usually inflated.
I would have said Goldeneye 007 but reviews weren't exactly great for that game.
|
It's better than all the current gen JRPGs I've played so far so.... unless you care about character models that is, the character models look like shit, everything else is fine.
|
Well, I haven't had a chance to play it yet, I'm guessing you have an NTSC-J Wii.
And it would have to be pretty good to topple Final Fantasy XIII and Tales of Vesperia from my list. While I do admit that I am a graphics whore, I can appreciate the fact that the game is on the Wii and looks pretty damn amazing for the hardware it's developed on

I'm more interested in what the studio can do with Wii U with so much more power personally after seeing how amazing Xenoblade is on Wii heh.
