That's on the first post. If you are trying to tell me Wii Play is "mixed reviews" then I guess every game in the world is mixed reviews. It averaged 58%.

Sonic was only 69%.

SSX Blur was only 73%, so I that's getting close to being able to claim "mixed."

Mario Party 8 averaged 67%.

I would say 3 of these games received BAD reviews. So far, the only 2 Wii games with great reviews are Zelda (94.6%) and Paper Mario (86.4%).

Warioware is third at 81.7%, which I would say was mixed reviews because a lot of people got tired of it rather quickly.


Metacritic weighted average scores are not percents.  They also have user ratings available.

Stop trying to change the definition of mixed reveiws from metacritic.  Mixed is 51 to 74.   If you read the reveiws for Wii play, you will see it's basically good reveiws for when there is 2 players and as a $10 packin when you want another controller.  If you can only see the bad, that's your problem.  It also shipped 3.42 million copies.  Do you honestly think it would be that high if it was all unfavorable reviews???

User rating on Wii Play: 6.8 out 10

Sonic: 7.7 out of 10 

SSX Blur: users 8.2 out of 10

 

Not everything is favorable or mixed.  If you want to compare something with unfavorable reveiws:

GT Pro Series:  Metacritic 41, users 3.8/10

Rapala Tournament Fishing: Metacritic 41, users 4.1/10
