| NintendoMonopoly said: This isn't a surprise to me at all. It's a decent rating , but it really deserves better. Even though I expected it right from the moment I heard about Wii Fit, I still feel this type of reviewing is unprofessional. There needs to be a separate rating system and set of reviewers for casual games and concept games, then the 1 that's in place for hardcore games. As it is, the review process for hardcore games has needed a serious overhaul for quite some time now.
At disolitude: That's a horrible analogy. race car driver = great driver , hardcore gaming critic typically = in bad shape , bad at sports , and lack of knowledge and dislike of fitness ( I hate to stereotype here, but it's so true ) I know you're saying that under the guise, that wii fit has a different set of features than what most game critics are used to , but that line borders on trolling , because it sounds like you're subtly implying that critics are used to exotic performance and Wii Fit is the Caravan of gaming, purposeful , but void of fun. I have a feeling a lot of people will have plenty of fun with wii fit and will feel quite rewarded by it , in a way normal gaming simply couldn't do. |
I disagree and I think its a good comparison... The people that should have most fun with this are people looking to work out or families looking to have a good time together. Reviewers are professional gamers who play games for a living...when they review games they look for "graphics, online, gameplay"...which I compared to "speed, cornering, acceleration" that a race car driver is looking for when diving a car. Wii fit cant really offer any of those...so I was thinking a lot of reviews will be lower because of that.
I did not imply this isn't fun...just that it isn't easy to know what to look for in a game like Wii Fit if you review games like ninja gaiden for a living. IGN did a good job however...
