God of War III or Heavenly Sword.

Heavenly Sword's major gripe was the fact that it was so damn short.

But God of War is a shoo-in... Every game is always rated very high (> 90) so it shouldn't be a problem.

 well ninja gaiden was always above 90 but see what happened to NGII.I m just saying judging based on pervios installment isn't a sure thing

god of war 3 and boyonetta are the only ones that could be AAA, i thought too human was rpg but if its hack and slash it has good chance too

am I missing any upcoming wii hack&slash game?

 The only Hack&Slash game I know coming from Wii is Soul calibur Legend, and trust me, we all want to forget about that one. ;)

Just shows how flawed the rating system is. Ninja Gaiden 2 is better than Sigma...

No More Heroes at 83%? The game is A, A, A swipe...over and over.

For me(huge fan of hack and slash games) the hack and slash event of the year is ninja gaiden 2 and sigma. Dmc4 was great fun too... Who knows what it will take for critics to get off their high horse and give a game a AAA certificate.

One thing is certain however...Golden Axe will suck

i'm thinking mad world for the wii. looks very promising, methinks you should add it to your list.



nintendo and sega fan since i was old enough to hold a game controller.

note: my games collection on my profile is only 20ish% complete, i've got a boatload of 360,saturn and dreamcast games to add and a few ps3 games, thanks :)

AAA means a blockbuster game with high production values, it doesn't mean anything about ratings... Why redefine terms?

I'm saying... none will reach 90% ratings.

Gameplay is too repetitive for it to not lose points. Not to mention hack and slash games almost universaly have crappy stories.



darthdevidem01 on 05 June 2008

@Kasz216

EVERY SINGLE GOW has rating above 90

I don't believe people are ignoring this fact
