i don't understand their scoring thing, as if their reviews don't reflect on the scores at all.

on the mario one they talked about how its more of the same but good fun none the less then gave it a 10/10
on this one they're talking about new ideas and the game being solid , but they gave it a 8/10

do they throw a dice to make these scores ?

Wow you really need to read that review again...



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

So.....

SMG2 does nothing new = 10/10, but
MNR is fresh, new, and innovative, and the gameplay is great = 8/10?

Oh well...it's just like Halo 3 vs MGS4. Great score, regardless, as they are one of the more hard to impress (well maybe not) reviewers out there

Haha, yeah it's funny how a lot of people only seem to have read the words 'doesn't define the genre' from that review, while ignoring the rest.

For those that did, that same sentence went on to say the game 'rolled it up and locked it away' (the genre). So according to them, it DOES redefine the genre, and even more, it goes far beyond that. And on top of it all the game apparently provides immaculate controls, fantastic music, and incredible (for Wii) graphics. It's a total package, with an abnormal amount of polish and fresh, new, and innovative ideas, while staying true to classic and critical elements of Mario games.

Modnation Racers is apparently a good game, with an excellent level-design element, but overall isn't as good as Galaxy 2. Just because a game features new ideas doesn't mean it's better, and even if it did, Galaxy 2 would be superior, because it clearly contains far more fresh, innovative and new ideas than MNR, which is, essentially, a Kart Racing game with a level editor. Doesn't mean it's bad, just means Edge likes Galaxy 2 better. And I can guarantee you here and now that the vast majority of reviewers will agree.

I was expecting a 7 / 10 from them ...

Luckily it wasn't.

wtf.....bro.....you REALLY need to read that Mario review again.

Either way, Edge continues to prove that they hold opinions about  games, rather than attempting to reflect the mass market opinion, which puts them a step ahead in my book, and makes them one of the only useful revewers.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
