First off, if you're going to lie at least make up ones which are not easily demonstrated as lies:

Title
Platform
Avg. Ratio
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Publisher: Nintendo
Number of P/Reviews: 199
Wii 93.9%
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Publisher: Nintendo
Number of P/Reviews: 105
GameCube 89.8%
Super Smash Bros.
Publisher: Nintendo
Number of P/Reviews: 14
Nintendo 64 80.2%

On top of that maybe the games are just not for you ...

 

No one is saying that Grand Theft Auto 4 isn't a fantastic game but if you read the reviews there seems to be this underlying tone of the reviewer looking for an excuse to give it a higher or "perfect" score. This doesn't (necessarily) mean that all reviewers are doing this because they're anti-Wii, or because they were bought off, but when your reader reviews on Gamerankings are 7.6 and 8.0 you might think that someone would give it a 9 out of 10 ...


Yes appears I was wrong with Smash brothers...I didn't do research or intend to "lie" but I remember seeing a few reveiws for the N64 one and I based my statement around that. So my bad there...I don't understand thehigh reviews but thats me.

In any case, maybe those games are not for me...and GTA4 is not my type of game either. But no one can deny that effort that went in to GTA4 is atleast 5 times greater than effort that went in to a game like Mario Kart Wii... I actually didn't even buy GTA4...my roomate rented it so I am no spokesperson for GTA series what so ever.

As far as the topic is concerned, I can see the reveiwers pumping the score a bit in trying to push back the casual gaming invasion which nintendo is solely profiting off but I doubt it. I believe GTA4 deserves a 9/10 myself...but if this gets 9...mario kart gets a 5.
