IGN's definitely surprises me.

However, GameInformer's is closer to what I expected, but still lower than I expected. I thought it would get a 7 at least:

O_O that review was just non-stop bashing of the game, judging from those words, I'm suprised he didn't give the game a 4 or someting.



I LOVE ICELAND!

It's game informer.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I haven't read anything from them (now I'm glad I haven't), so from your comment, I take it they like to bash Wii games.

I suspected that when I saw that the reviewer managed to sneak in the word 'gimmick' among all of the vague or outlandish complaints.

Theyre notorious for being against many highly regarded Wii games. I canceled my subscription when it got to the point that Super Smash Bros Brawl was called a flop, and NMH was given a 6. IF it has anything to do with the Wii, i wouldnt trust GI....then again i wouldnt trust most other media with reviews anyway, be them Wii or otherwise.

the game informer review is weird. Read a few paragraphs and stopped reading, the guy does not know how to criticise a game properly.

Yes Game Informer are notorious for hating the Wii and its pointer controls (even for Metroid Prime), wash those nasty words away with another good review.

Gaming Nexus review:

Quote:
Instead of standing in the original GoldenEye's shadow, Eurocom has created a brand new game that is just as compelling and addictive as the original. An expertly produced story mode and an engrossing multiplayer make the new GoldenEye one of the best experiences on any console this holiday. Round up your friends and get ready to get hooked all over again, GoldenEye 007 is back.


Score: A-

It's not just the Wii. Sometimes their reviews can boggle the mind. The recent Alien Vs Predator got mixed reviews, but, unless I'm mistaken, the GI review complained that the Predators had to use stealth.

It is funny that IGN gave Goldeneye a 9.0 and BloodStone a 5.0

and Gameinformer gave Goldeneye a 6.5 and BloodStone a 7.5,

I will wait for gametrailers and hope for a VGChartz review.
