Who is talking crap about you?

Point I am making is that it is not biased. They are allowed to dig on the graphics, if a game like Guitar Hero III, Kung Fu Panda and RockBand all recieve the same exact score as the PS3/360 versions with no added gameplay due to the Wiimote, it is completely justified to make those digs, as it adds nothing to the game that the other versions already have. It is more of generosity on GI's part IMO.

Bully - 8.5

Boom Blox - 8.5

Okami - 9.5

RE: Umbrella Chronicles - 8.5

Super Mario Galaxy - 9.75

Super Smash Bros - 9.5

Super Swing Golf: Season 2 - 8.5

Wii Fit - 8

There are plenty more but there is no reason to continue. As for the argument that they only give good scores to GREAT Nintendo games, you want good scores for bad Nintendo games too?

PS3 -

Conflict: Denied Opts - 5.5

Hail to the Chimp - 4

NFL Tour- 5

Turning Point - 3

Time Crisis 4 - 4.25

Iron Man - 3

Haze - 6.25

360 -

Kingdom Under Fire -5

Bee Movie - 3

NBA Ballers - 6.25

Viva Pinata: Party Animals - 5.5

Universe at War - 5

Soldier of Fortune - 4.25

+ many named in PS3 list.

As you can see, this is only from the recently reviewed list in the back of GI, so just as the case is with Nintendo, only GREAT PS3/360 games get good scores while bad games get what they deserve.... bad scores.

I don't see what is so wrong with GI personally.

no the Wii just has alot of crappy games, just like every console. The difference is that Wii sells alot of software so when you see a game like Mario Kart Wii sell 6 million and GI gives it a 8.75, it makes you wonder how it sold so much. Most Wii games are fun, not high quality

to stay on topic all the media hates the wii obviously because the other 2 consoles do have more potential but they failed with 2many mistakes and sony and microsoft are both paying for it.......... RROD xbox and sony left a bunch of their audience behind with that huge price tag, more kids have a wii than a ps3 and not many kids will want one because a console like the ps3 doesn't have to many sonic games or E for everyone because its an adults only system because of its price, businesswise I don't think sony was thinking but I got to say the ps3 was made to end all other consoles but it can't its to much to buy and it will always be atleast a couple hundred more than the wii and its going to take a long time and about 2 price cuts before sony can work on another audience besides hardcore......... I like the ps3, I got a wii though, and I don't like microsoft at all after I want threw 2 360's in the blink of an eye..........

Had my 360 since February, no problems yet and I beat that thing into the ground. *knocks on wood*

I think the reason many hate the Wii is for one main reason, which honestly is the same reason I like it the least of all 3 that I own, it simply has nothing for me to play. Many games released are party games, shovelware, remakes of PS2 titles I played years ago, etc...

The only reason Nintendo games are the ones recieving the higher scores is simply because Nintendo are the only who really put any effort into their games thus far. It is not very common that a 3rd party gem comes around the corner like a Boom Blox, Zack and Wiki, etc...

@ jeffrey9999

how does that prove that GI hates the Wii?

GI doesn't hate the Wii, if they did they would review multiplatform releases seperately instead of giving it the same score as the other 2 versions.

As many have already shown GI reviews are extremely close to Gameranking/Metacritic review scores. So if GI is biased against the Wii, then I guess everyone else is too.

I decided to check their recent PS2 review scores as well in thr reviews archive, only 1 title recieving an 8 or higher, so I guess we can all agree they hate PS2 as well, even though they loved it not too long ago.

IMO GI is probably the best magazine out there for review scores, just from reading their articles it seems they play before reviewing.

sorry I can't play a game like (gears of war) although you'd call that HIGH QUALITY, I don't like the controls or the cover fire system, I like halo but I'm comparing what you call quality, ok I hear people beat that game the first day it takes like a week to beat MKWII plus MKWII is more fun maybe it don't look as good maybe their aint know story but MKWII is more quality than gears of war, they just made it better by fun not epic story good graphics if I wanted a story I watch the god father not play a game and act like its a movie, MKwii is a game and thats what it was made to be nothing else maybe microsoft should make sonething fun as hell like mkwii because when you play a game thats the whole point FUN.........

I noticed that most of the people bitching about GI are Wii only owners.

Debatable. Other than taking out snaking and giving you an extra steering option, what has MKWII added that was not in MK64 or MKDD? Maybe Online play? Those options included in the Wii version are found just about anywhere in a PS3/360 racer. I can play with a steering wheel too, although any MKWII player will tell you Wavebird > WiiWheel.

I am pretty sure MKWII doesn't even have co-op Grand Prix anymore does it? To be honest I have more fun playing MK64 on the VC than I did playing MKWII.

To me Gears was a ton of fun, although after the first playthrough I became bored of it.

Nobody is saying that MCWii is a bad game.  In fact GI review is right in line with the Metacritc score.
