Why does anyone care about reviews? Play the game for yourself.

EDGE Magazine awarded Zombi U a 7/10.

So that's a decent score.


Well, the game does a good job at doing it's job, which is scaring the s*** out of people. I'm not going to lie I watched a trailer last night and jumped -_- I don't usually get scared easily.



NINTENDO

nintendo forever . . .

Gamespot among other sites gave MoH warfaighter a low score. Anymore ive given up looking into review scores for games. Im not saying MoH is an amazing game, but its pretty good...and I havent played ZombiU but I will be..we'll see how it all plays out.

watching the video on youtube it really looks boring or at least he really knows how to make it look boring

Guys, guys, don't press the panic button. It's ONE review. Official Nintendo Magazine gave it a 92/100. We just can't go by one score. Why don't we wait for all the reviews to come in.

Of course it did.

If you can show me a game ONM scored 47 points above the meta, I'll be as cynical as you for a day.

It's starting to look like ZombiU is a divisive game, maybe around a 7-8, or anywhere from a 6-9 depending on your tastes, but 4.5 seems off.



I'm waiting to read the justification. I don't understand how Godawful it would need to be to get a 4.5, when even mediocre games of this generation can manage to score 6s and 7s.
Maybe the reviewer really hates the survival horror genre...

Did you watch the video review? He actually doesn't have a lot of bad things to say about the game. It's baffling how he wound up with that score.

This was my response to VGKing, but I might as well put it here since you touched on it.

Gamespot gave Paper Mario: Sticker Star 7.5 and Super Mario 3D Land 8.0
Both are lower than their aggregated scores.
Also they gave Luigi's Mansion a 7.9 but I thought the game deserves higher than that.

In general, I do not exactly agree with Gamespot reviews so I will only take this with a grain of salt (or something like that).
