Personally I would rather play this than LBP,

Polygon is sponsored by Microsoft. Thats awhy they are giving Sony exclusives a very low scores. Like 7.5/10 for the Last of Us or 6 for Ni no Kumi.

Or sometimes a reviewer gives a game a lower score because, I don´t know, it´s their personal taste? MS doesn´t care if a reviewer gives a competitors games a high or low score. This mentality from some gamers that, just because their game gets a low score they are some kind of victim in a terrible plot against them, is just so silly. Play the games and don´t care if a reviewer doesn´t share your taste in the game. I can promise you, they are not payed of to too downgrade it :).

welcome to gaming. But why people can't understand that Nintendo games are based around what you described?

The difference is that Nintendo is the best on that and the games are more complex.

I have played about 5 hours of knack so far and I am just stunned at reviewers. Why is a game that is fun, simple, and relaxing so bad? The story is easy to follow, and has no need to be picked apart. This is just a game you can kick back, and not think to hard about. It is a nice break from the typical throw as many options and hectic action as possible at the player formula.

Why do game journalists score a game like this so bad? From what I have seen it does everything it sets out to do well. Sure its not elite, but what could they have done to score better in this type of game? Adding more would take away the simplisity that makes this game what it is. I hear so much about gameplay, and a game comes out that gives the player a simple fun system gets torn apart. 

Not much else to say. I am having a good time playing this game, and that is what matters. Personally I would rather play this than LBP, but I guess my idea of fun is much different than the general consensus.

Microsoft gave polygon $750,000 to startup.
That's all you need to know.

I am assuming that last bit was just ironic since that is so silly it´s laughable. Could you just focus on the issue in this thread instead of trying to downplay MS first chance you get?
