(according to gamerankings):

i guess those are good reviews. The question is, what kept it from a 100%?

Those are pretty good reviews. I remember the guys at IGN were not feeling too good about the game. Hopefully the final couple builds of the game has improved and won over the masses. This is an instant buy for me regardless.

Reviews already? Can I trust them?

MK games are never super highly reviewed,

I don't think and MK game is above 90% on gamerankings. Usually graphics keep it from getting perfect scores, or in DD's case many things, I think DD had like an 85 on GR...

 if i had to guess, id say nintendo sent them a review build so that they could review it in the upcoming issue. the copy they have may not be the 100% complete version, but it's close enough that nintendo feels confident to have someone review it.

Official Nintendo Magazine is way too easy on review scores, especially on the Wii. They gave MySims a 9 or so. I'll wait for more.

How the heck can they write reviews when the game's far from being released? :s

3 weeks isnt far.

mags get "review builds" before anyone else. once again, it may not be the 100% complete build, but a build that nintendo feels is close enough to being done that it can be reviewed.

Ah, still, there were reviews weeks ago.
