oh wow, I haven't heard this much butt-kissing since hmmm... last issue of Nintendo Power.

how can people even read this kind of biased view? I mean, I own a PS3, but I don't go to PS3 love-fest.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

 Pretty sure Brawl would be the game to deserve it.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

This review only makes the wait that much more painful. :(

I do have a Wii. (my cousin does) and I am waiting for the game.

> Pretty sure Brawl would be the game to deserve it.

I have no question Brawl deserves a great score, I was merely talking about the way it was reviewed. Man, BLAH, the article feels like the love child between Nintendo PR and VGC fanboy. ;)

They only gave SMG a 9.5...

And according to Gamerankings:

Site's Avg Ratio For WII: 69.2%
GR Avg Ratio for WII titles this site has reviewed: 66.2%
Difference: 3.0%

On the other hand, 1UP:

Site's Avg Ratio For WII: 59.9%
GR Avg Ratio for WII titles this site has reviewed: 68.0%
Difference: -8.1%

So, who would you rather go to for unbiased reviews?  The site that's only 3% too high or the stie that's 8% too low?

@naznatips

I have no problem with the score, it won't be the last reviewer to give the game a perfect score (although personally, I don't think any game is perfect, but that's just me)

what I do have a problem is is the way the review was written. It's hardly subjective at all. It just reads like a PR report mixed with fanboy "wows",

Even if you don't agree with me, do you understand what I'm saying?

 Objection! That just statistics. Math confuses me anyway. Do you have some more concrete evidence? My cousin has a Wii and she says Brawl should only get a 8.5 because there's no online leader boards. Try again Naz. Without math so it doesn't hurt my head.
