Forums - Nintendo - What kind of review is this?!?!

Why is it that every review that isn't glowing for SMG is "biased"? Maybe he just didn't like the game? I'm not defending him, I'm defending anyone that gave the game a 8.9 or below. They may not have had the fun that anyone personally has had with the game. Some people really liked HS even though it was panned, and some games like Z&W are critically loved but not bought. It may just be that he doesn't like the game. Just saying

if you read it you know it is biased,and a seven is just to low

 Of course that is a very legitimate reason. I certainly have no problems with him not liking the game at all. I mean, who am I to say that he has to love the game because everybody else are giving excellent reviews. The problem I have though is the way he reviewed the game. If you read the review, you can see how he was really reaching hard for something bad to say about the game. I mean, if you imagined one of your favorite games being reviewed in the matter that he was doing for SMG, wouldn't you feel like he was being an a$$ reviewing this game?

 Because the review is so clearly biased.

I mean his comment about looking the same as games from 2001?

Lets take a comparable game that was high quality in 2002.

Claiming that SMG looks worse than that is like claiming that the PS3 is currently outselling the Wii, its just plain wrong. 



The only part I dissagreed with was his comparing the Wii to the other two consoles. They really are too different to compare >< BUT like I said, I only played the demo for 10 mins and it literally fealt like Mario 64 on a sphere while pointing at "star bits" :/ I wasn't impressed in the least, I had a hell of alot more fun with the water pack in Sunshine lol, it was different and offered a bit of variety to the mix, I wish they'd have put a costume or whatnot in the demo :/



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

i am sorry but anytime you comapre the game to the others available on another system your biasis is showing--you compare games on one system to games on that system only---not hey look at marios graphics...they would have been better in Hd on my ps3

@ Rolstopable

I've read them... Maybe people have different tastes

@ Endurance

I did read it. Maybe he didn't like the Wii controls, I myself didn't like them but I only played it for two hours. Does it change after that? Also, compared to some of the GC's stellar titles. This game would look dated... Sorry :(

@ Pakidan 101

If a reviewer said that one of my favorite games sucked, I wouldn't care because I still like it and if you know that he is wrong, why give him the time of day. If you know that it is the greatest (or now second) of all time, tell this guy to go and **** himself while you continue playing your game. But don't name call, you're only giving him more attention.

@ Rath

I'm sure that R&C is not playing in 480p or 16:9 so that is not a fair comparison. I wouldn't say SMG looks like a 2001 game. A fair judge is RE4 for the GC which does look better than SMG. that was 2005. So I'd go with that year.

"I still consider Super Mario Sunshine to be one of the better games in the Mario franchise."

I'd say that says it all.

 Bet you he didn't even like that game.  Only saying that now so he can bash Galaxy haha.  Typical fanboy tactic.  Silly really but easy to spot.



But people shouldn't see this as too much of a surprise. Normally when a game becomes so hot and seen as the best, always got to be someone to go against "the man" and seen as a revolutionary and stated as it is. Sometimes they are right, most of the time they are jsut doing it for attention. I think its the latter of the 2 here.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

SMG looks a lot better then RE4
