You shouldn't attack the scores until you actually play the game. Maybe MK is a 6.

 I'm not suprised by this comment (Because is yours...)

 

So tell me, somehow they loose the touch with this game, or is this another biased review???

Well these same people gave mario kart ds a 5 so that is an improvement.

Umm, gamerankings has it at an 8, unless that is a different Edge magazine.

You have to know how to read Edge scores, because their scoring is different to other media outlets.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption got a 7 from Edge, while in reality it should be a 10 (if we are going by full points). So Mario Kart's 6 translates actually to a 9. It's simple as that.

But seriously, why bother with Edge scores. Their ratings have often been way off, regardless of platform.


Why bother with review scores in the first place?  They never match personal preference anyway.

You have a point there. But never say never. Sometimes reviews match personal preference.

Fair enough.  Reviews match the personal preference of the person writing them.

This is getting pointless (like it always does when you start quoting me). Not that you are wrong or anything, it's just a waste of our time because it leads nowhere. I better go back playing Fire Emblem.

You put down Fire Emblem to post in this thread?  O.o

Actually I was taking a break to eat something and then ended up staying longer on the forum than planned. This happens.

Go back to Fire Emblem, there's nothing really interesting going on here right now.

Wow, are you serious, lol?

 

Either way, I don't know that I'm all too excited about Mario Kart Wii, to be honest. I haven't played a Mario Kart that I really loved since the N64 days.

 

Of course, I'll still be buying it, and I'm sure that it's still a Mario Kart game, afterall. Edge reviews don't have that big of an effect on me, in the end, I'm more interested in what Gamespot, or even Xplay has to say, because at least they tend to judge games based on realistic expectations.

 

 

...and no, edge magazine scores aren't worth not playing Fire Emblem for any amount of time.
