8.5 sounds about right.

It's in line with other reviews.

Good, but not too good, definitely not AAA.

When AAA started, it was 8.5 and up, actually.

 

That said, the PS3 doesnt' have a AAA exclusive yet.

 

In fact, the PS3 only has 3 games with over a 90 average rating, and they are:

 

CoD4

Oblivion

Rock Band

 

All multiplats.

 

The Wii has 4, 2 exclusives.

 

Sure, I'm cherrypicking, but read my whole post before you comment, Kratosboys!

 

 

My point is, games are based on individual tastes, not average review scores of 90 or above.

So, this may very well be a AAA game to most people. Especially if you consider popularity, sales, and yes, mostly above average review scores, as an indication. Classically, this was not the case, but recently, here on VGChartz we have debated what makes a AAA title for a system, and all of those factors do figure in, we decided, and I think they do, so I'm gonna say that the .5 points in the IGN review, making the difference between AAA and AA, shouldn't dissapoint anyone, nor should it prevent anyone from buying the game.

 the "AAA" rating was either made by a deluded fanboy or by reviewers to make you believe that acknowledging their review scores was worth while. I don't think Mario Kart deserves anything above 8.5% if we're going to try review it objectivley (which is impossible) -No much graphical difference from predeccesor-Not much difference in gameplay from Nintendo 64- Basic online (in comparison to PS3 and 360 titles)  Some may argue if it's not broken why fix it ? I respond if it's not broken why buy the f*ckin sequel.
