mrstickball said: I guess the question is "why is it getting good, but not great scores"? It's got a 83.1 on Gamerankings with 7 reviews. Is it: 1) The game is not that great 2) The game does not evolve much beyond NGB/NGS 3) There are technical issues (such as the frame rate issues) 4) The reviewers suck at games, and pull a Famitsu and dock points for difficulty Take your pick. I can understand if it's #2, but don't see how one could justify a significantly lower score. Of course, Mario Kart Wii has around the same score, and we know how that one turned out. I guess developers are only scoring things on "OMGZ GROUND BREAKING MATERIALZ" and are leaving out any idea if the game is actually...Good. |
IGN gave it a 8.7 which is a great score. Eurogamer (which is supposed to be a harsh reviewer) gave it a 7, so that doesn't mean the game isn't great either.
I think this franchise is just not everyone's cup of tea.
