| Naum said: A Wii game who gets a 7 or 8 from a so called "core gamer" can be translated to a 9 or a 9.5 for a "casual gamer" |
I can't completely agree. Again, some of the so-called "casuals" may have different tastes in games than we do, and they are likely seeking a different experience than you or me. But they still know what does and does not suck. The only way I can find a way to agree with your statement is if I admit that many of the enthusiast reviewers whose opinons are collected in meta-critic and the like are likely to rate a mini-game fest lower than they would another game of a different genre, even if they're of equal caliber. But as Words of Wisdom pointed out, anyone who watches little kids playing games will find that the kids know full well that Sonic and the Secret Rings is not in the same league as Mario Galaxy. Sonic nuts excluded, of course.
