Well most of the reviews sites and magazines gave it good to very good reviews and even 1up who claimed the controls were not better still gave it an 8.0 so does this lay this whole reviewers are biased against Wii stuff to rest?

Except 1up and Eurogamer

So an 8.0 score for a remake of a two year old game is not good enough for you?

You expect reviewers to give straight 10s to everything on Wii?

I don't have an issue with an 8.0. In my eyes, its close to the IGN score (9.0) - so 8 is reasonable.

7 however - is a different story. And the text says it all (its somewhere else on this board) - basically they hate the Wiimote contols, say it ruins the game, and mark it down accordingly. This when the other reviews say that the Wiimote controls improve the game, and mark it up accordingly.

I understand that its subjective - but so is anything that a reviewer does. I could review R&C (PS3), and give it a 5/10 - saying that the graphics SUCK (i.e. "I was expecting so much more, I just have to mark it down"...). Its still subjective, but it reeks of BS. It simply seems to me that the Wii reviewer is more than a little spiteful.

BTW - just saw Eurogamers review for "Big Brain Academy" = 5/10. To be truthful, I can't comment until I play the game (unlike with RE4 which I have finished). Still... the world according to Eurogamer:

    5/10 - Big Brain Academy (Wii)

    7/10 - Zoo Tycoon 2 (PC), Resident Evil 4 (Wii), Pacman (360), Odin Sphere (PS2)

    8/10 - Mario Strikers (Wii), Meteos Disney (DS), Colin Macrae DIRT (360)

    9/10 - Super Stardust (PS3), Tomb Raider(PS2/PC)

...make what you will from these - but I can't see how a remake of Tomb Raider =- for the PS2 - gets 9, where Wii RE4 gets a 7 - the same score as Pacman (360) & Zoo Tycoon (PC).

Anyway - its not like I visit that site, or look at their reviews anyway. Was just trying to make a point...
