That is a very elitest attitude ... As I pointed out before, in no other entertainment medium do critics use their own personal preference in genre impact their review. Currently, the Hana Motana movie is rated higher than the Bucket List even though you (an many other people) would find The Bucket List to be a more meaningful and deeper movie ... How can Hana Montana be so highly rated in comparison to the Bucket List if the Bucket List is deeper movie? Well, the critics reviewed Hanna Montana in the context of it being a tween movie and as a tween movie they thought it was alright ... This means that their reviews have meaning to the very people who would actually watch that movie. Why then are videogame critics reviewing Wii Sports via the same standard they review Madden by? They're two different games, targeting two different demographics which are each looking for drastically different things from their game ... If someone who is interested in Wii Sports doesn't care about an online leaderboard why should the critic take the lack of an online leaderboard as a negative thing? |
It's not personal preference, each reviewer comes to a game and reviews it on the same scale, it's the only fair way to do it. The bucket list isn't a great movie so that doesnt show anything. As for hana montana, reviewers gave it the score they did because kids like it. Kids normally have bad taste, immature taste and they arent old enough or wise enough to know any better, just because something is good to them doesn't make it good overall. So basically what your saying is, if something is designed to be short, shallow, easy and dumb because casual gamers who have bad taste in games like that then people can't critise it because that is what it was meant to be? hahaha yeah ok.
