Well of course the Wii version is going to score higher in a cartoony sports game where graphics don't matter.

Interesting to see how the 360/PS3 online was so casually dismissed.



Finally, they all got their own crap review now...even PS2
& fuck, PS2 got online mode too?.... what a shitty review!

7.5 Presentation
Good use of SEGA's licenses. Lots of characters and courts to unlock. Pretty opening FMV. In-game environments look sterile, though. Characters lack color.
6.5 Graphics
The character models look good, but the courts are decidedly blurry and sparse. Framerate can suffer, too.
6.0 Sound
A great selection of unlockable music. Sound effects are muffled and dull.
6.5 Gameplay
Shallow, with some odd design choices. Still, there's fun to be had with multiple human players.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
An impressive selection of gameplay modes and unlockables. What the heck happened to the online mode, though?

7.0 Presentation
SEGA fans could argue for hours about which characters should have been included in Superstars. But Sumo did a good job of using the ones it chose and arranged a well-orgainzed game around them.
6.0 Graphics
Superstars is colorful and bright, but there are framerate problems here and there and some characters just don't work without textures (I'm talking about you, Gilius).
7.0 Sound
If unlocking countless music tracks in mini-game after mini-game is your idea of the perfect Sunday, then this game is for you. From OutRun to NiGHTS, it's all here.
6.0 Gameplay
Fun with friends but pretty dull otherwise. The controls are problematic, and the mini-games are mostly a bore. But unlocking classic characters and stages can be a kick.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
With its multiple online modes and more than 100 mini-games, Superstars has a lot to offer. You'll have to pick and choose, but there's fun to be had with Sonic and friends.

& everything scored higher on Wii except sound....



p/s: DS got the highest overall score 6.9...lol...

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

why does online matter so much for this game?

It is very casual, and casuals play these types of games with friends when they come over. Online will have very little affect on Wii sales. This game will sell quite well(especially in others) and will sell well until Mario Tennis arrives.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
