Score seems just about in the range that I expected. Despite it not being very Metroid it still seems like a decent game, maybe when the anti-hype dies down it will see some more positive reception from the fans.

It has hate but, I dont think thats why its not scoreing higher.

Also you notice all the really positive scores are from review sites with "nintendo" part of their name.

I think its more likely to drop a few points more in score, than rise in them.

And honestly I dont think it deserves higher than its getting, its not just based on hate of it not being a real metroid game.

Oh no, I'm not suggesting that it's not scoring higher due to anti-hype, from the summaries of the reviews it looks like the game has some problems. As a Metroid fan I wasn't looking forward to this game, I actually went out and bought Metroid Fusion today to show that is the type of game that I want instead.

I mean more along the lines that the outright hatred of this game by the fans will probably turn into apathy or a lukewarm response at best. More or less I think fan reception to this game would have been the same regardless if it scores a 67 or an 80 on metacritic.
