Just saw XPlay and they gave it 5 out of 5. Morgan started off the review by saying they to shoot and kill people and love violence and blood (paraphrased) but they love all types of games. She did say the single and dual player modes were great and addicting, but the games REALLY shines as a 4 player game.

Called it the next big party game as everyone can play it, but there was gameplay there for hardcore gamers as well.

Said this is a game that makes the Wii "shine."

BTW, they gave Kart 4/5, so this became a 'tomorrow' purchase for me!

What a dilemma. I'm trying to save up for a PS3, but now there's Boom Blox, BlastWorks, Wii Fit and WiiWare. It's terrible and great all at once.

Updated the OP with some new scores. I continue to be surprised by this game's reception.

For those interested I posted a bunch of videos of this game in motion in this thread.

I'm kinda disappointed with IGN's score. Gamespot and Xplay decided to grow some balls and went "this is the best game imaginable for it's genre and target audience. we've been playing games for decades and love it, but even our grannies can pick up the controller and enjoy themselves. there is no better case for a full score."

IGN says pretty much the same thing, but concludes with "... but it's just a casual game, so the score caps at 8. Just out of pity, let's give it a bonus .1" Also, gameplay 8 and lasting appeal only 9? Yeah right...

Million seller or no?

I'll go with yes, when it's $39.99

i just ordered my copy :D

Already preordered.
@Foshoryuken I totally love your sig. XD

No, this game will sell like crap. The name is terrible, the boxart is terrible, and it's just completely unclear to anyone what kind of game this is.

It will sell 150k max, I think.

10 1 up!!!!:O thats unbelievable!
