If the Wii operates on a different review standard from the PS3 and 360 why did Super Mario Galaxy win Game of the Year over the PS3 and 360 games in the majority of major review sites? After all, Game of the Year awards are the one time that games are directly compared across platform.... |
I don't think anyone is saying that the Wii does (or should) opperate on a different standard as the XBox 360/PS3 ...
Many people do believe that the low review scores of some high selling Wii games is much more indicative of reviewers underscoring these games than it is of Wii owners having "Bad Taste" as Jimmy would claim. Many of these games are getting docked marks for lacking features which are completely unnecessary in their genre and the consumers of these products do not care about; this is (sort of) like reducing the score of a bad action movie because it doesn't make a political statement about abortion and lacks an original orchestral soundtrack which conveys the emotions of the characters throughout the movie.
