lol...you guys crack me up.

Reviewers hating the wii...
Microsoft buying reviews...

Come on, atleast try to make relevant posts. Look at videos of the both games, compare features...etc


You honestly think this doesn't happen? Now that cracks me up.


No, what cracks me up is someone who has "Boycott Ubisoft" in his signature saying that reviewers hate the wii...while at the same time complaining that a Ubisoft isn't releasing any good games for the Wii.

there are like 10 threads live right now on this site that say "Boycott Company A because they are not making good Wii games" or "Company B announces good wii games are coming"

So which one is it? Reviewers hating the wii and giving bad scores or companies making bad games for the Wii?

As far as microsoft buying reviews...they don't do that, otherwise Ninja Gaiden 2 would have been a 9.5 as it should have been.


Both?

It's not like the two are mutually exclusive. For example. Trauma Center New Blood is a high quality game that was rated below where it should be... yet ubisoft is still producing horrible games.

Best you could argue with your point is "Why try your hardest when the reviwers aren't going to give you a fair shake anyway."


Its kinda pushing it when it comes to scape goats don't you think... Whats next? Game was made on a Friday?


Not really. I think you can point to a number of Wii games that were marked down in part for the system it was on.

In some cases it might be anger at the wii. In most cases i'd imagine it has more to do with critics not liking motion controls or not dealing with games being different then expected. It's easy to compare a FPS to other FPS... what do you compare Wii Sports to... or Wii Fit even?

Who even reviews these games? When your system is set up so that you have the reviewer who likes those types of games best reviews the game.... what do you do when the game is new? When there isn't anything like it? You don't have anybody who is biased towawrds the genre or type of game like JRPG John who's been playing ever since FF1.

I don't think it's intentional, but I do think it's fair to go in expecting wii games to get lower reviews because unlike the HD systems where it's easy enough to say "this looks better then the last one" the Wii's improvements are harder to quantify, and new play mechanics... are well new.

It's hard to judge a peach's quality if it's the first peach you've ever eaten.  Your main instict is probably going to be to put it in the "middle" because from their you'd have plenty of room to adjust up or down as need be.
