Most of those seem about right, except RE of course.
Europe is not Nintendo land, it has not been since the early 90's and this is bound to show in many European reviews.
In fact; if you look closely, most low score will come from European gaming sites/magazines, its just the simple fact that Nintendo is not top dog in Europe that drags down the scores imo.
And its not like other reviewers aren't biased towards other consoles (Gamespot really picked on the PS3 up until this year and IGN seemed slightly harsh at times to the 360).
Why is it a catastrophe that not everyone in the world adores the Wii at all turns and all costs? Its doing great, stop complaining already!

Don't be foolish. If you're claiming that European websites are judging games because of the system they're on, then they are biased and shouldn't be considered credible.

 

Wheather they "love the Wii" or not doesn't matter. It's stupid to judge a game based on the hardware on which it performs, rather than the quality of development.

 

Nintendo games aren't "all the same" and grouping them together to give them a lower score just because they are made by Nintendo, a company that is "not very popular" means the reviewers are stupid and biased.

 

Also, I dunno if you've seen the sales figures lately, but Europe is Nintendoland, wake up. It's only the entheusiast press that refuses to accept it.

 

That said, I don't think any of the sites I read, European or otherwise, are biased against the Wii or any system, except for Giantbomb.com who is in the hole for Microsoft. None of these reviews are "about right" that's also retarded to say, imo, because no one person will agree with every single review out of the bunch, unless they are indeed trying to lend creedance to the website, and those people certainly haven't played, judged, and rated all the games mentioned, but I don't think any of them are ludcrious scores, out side of RE4, and even then, there is at least some semi-justification for the score.

You got it wrong, ur thinking he said eurogamer gave the wii low scores just because they dont like the system, but its more like they gave those scores because everyone else gave too high scores.
