New Super Mario Bros. U? No, that's not a big game." - And now the same thing for The Wonderful 101 which makes me seriously wonder how much dumber people can still get. Surely, at some point they must have hit rock bottom. Now as for reviews, TW101 is a game that expects the player to figure out the deeper mechanics by themselves. Explanations for standard actions are displayed on screen, but good strategies you have to figure out by yourself. That's less of an issue if you are a more humble player and pick the easy or very easy setting, but many people nowadays pick normal, because that's the new easy. Not in Kamiya games though where normal is still normal and can be quite challenging on a first playthrough. This is probably the main cause for complaints, because reviewers didn't expect to get their butts kicked; and since it's easier to blame the game than themselves, that's what they did. Not that scores really matter anyway, because a good game is a good game, regardless of what the collective joke of gaming journalists thinks. Despite its lack of spoon-feeding, The Wonderful 101 is still a game that is suited for all skill levels. |
Has the game met your expectations in the fun department?
