It proabably did get screwed a bit in the review, but I can't say personally. The major issue is the framerate it seems, if it's as bad as IGN said than that is a major reduction in points, they called it "unplayable" at points. But you say it's not THAT bad? If they overexaggerated, I would say a 6 might be in order.

P.S. 900th post! It's over 900! hehe, sorry for the corny joke, but I couldn't wait until 9,000. 

 

If Carnival games can get a 70 from Nintendo power and game party got a 60, this deserves way better.  I think people are comparing it to the ps360 version without taking the Wiis limitations into consideration....

 

 But the Wii's limitations SHOULD bring the score down somewhat, no?  But yes I agree too low, maybe a little overzealous.

Should the 360 and PS3's limitations of having inferior controls bring their score down too then?  Just wondering.

Good review. The only problem with the game is that the framerate dips at times and doesn't look like a PS3 game I guess. The gameplay is fun. Especially multiplayer. The online and splitscreen multiplayer run the same, so no splitscreen doesn't stink. By the way, the levels are not too big. They are about the same size as the GoldenEye levels. Speaking of which, one of the GoldenEye levels is in the game. The controls are good and responsive.

Reviewers need to stop rating decent games this low because they don't look like Killzone or Gears of War. The anti-Wii reviews are frustrating to read. I only picked this up because I'm a Bond fan. The reviews would have completely turned me off to a pretty fun game. What they are doing is a disservice.

 

Thats the reason I dont trust reviews anymore, after hyping Star Wars FU and give a low score and the review of Samba De Amigo Wii did it to me.

But atleast the maps arent that big unlike what spdk1 posted, and I thought you will end up finding your opponent 5 minutes straight without avail.

I think that the maps are the right size. Big enough to not be shot at ever other second. But you can find people pretty quickly. The online has a point system like Mario Kart where you start with 5000 points. I don't recall if anyone's talked about that yet.

No one talked about it yet, I dont even knew why theres a +1 symbol in the game like Call of Duty 4 when you kill a enemy.

Yes. It also tells you If you had three kills or more straight without dying. Honestly, I think that spdk is pretty much dead on with everything that he said. The multiplayer is really good and that's what most people like these games for.

Really? Seems spdk1's review was really spot on after all, I wonder why reviewers dont say about the online play and the point system? Reviewers are REALLY DEAD to me not in literal sense BTW... atleast tell about the online.

Just thinking, since you're here amp316 is QoS run by Activision's server or on Nintendo Wi Fi?

It uses friend codes if you want to meet up with friends. Otherwise you are thrown into a room with random people. It isn't like Brawl if that's what you're asking. :p

Cool maybe the game is better then most reviews say, but still there is no excuse for another PS2 game on the Wii, developers must understand to create separate versions for those consoles if they want to be successful. Graphics are not important to mee, but this just shows that some devs are lazy or dont do their work well.

Its a licensed game what do you expect? Atleast it have good multiplayer and online. If you think its not good for a full price(which I dont get why would anyone buy any game in full price anyway) then buy it when its budget price, that way you could help 3rd parties to sell core games on the Wii.

@amp316----> Yeah, I thought it would be like SSBB online too, but atleast its like MK Wii I just hope it would be like MOH:H2 online though its EA's own server...
