8.5 is good considering it probably deserves a lower score. 7.5 out of 10 would be fair.

My opinion is worth more than yours and I say you are completely wrong.

I agree with that statement, actually.

 

8.5 I expected from IGN. Great score, imo. It might deserve more, but they have to cover their own asses after they said it sucked so bad in the previews.

And what about the "6" from the Edge?

 

The awful part of this first scores is the nonsense trend that start poisoning another media's reviews,It's more easy for this (sometimes biased) reviewers give a low score after someone did it before them,hopes this will not affect the people's perception.

Your saying that because an early reviewer gives a low score(actually average for Edge) that it poisons the well? Especially for reviewers who are already a little biased against the Wii and Mario Kart in general?

Can't argue with you there. The only thing that keeps fanboyism from running rampant in review articles is fear of no longer being credible.

 

However, I dunno if that's the case here. I think there have been way more positive reviews than negative ones.

 

The only thing below an 8 so far is Edge. I can live with that, honestly. 8 and up can be described as "great." The game is great. It's epic. Is it RE4 epic? No. But still epic, and the review scores actually show that, imo.
