Agreed. And actually, and it's a thread I want to start one day, but I think sites like Metacritic, and Gamerankings, have made reviewers into bloggers. I remember when you would get a well written review, cause that review had to hold alot of water to be creditable. Now it's like they will just list what they like and don't like score it and move on, without any detail in the review, cause they assume people will just check the avg. score. *sigh*

I think you're kind of missing the point then.  It feels just like it because of the Balance Board.  It's unfortunate that you don't want to buy WiiFit, but don't knock a game when you're judging it in a crippled form.  It's like playing Wii Sports with a traditional controller somehow and complaining about how much it sucks.

Fail being Latin for "I'm a humourless immature jerk"

come on Valk, you're original post is bad enough considering that your "annoyance" is so clearly misplaced (They're talking about the balance board), but to make such a jackass response to tabsina's innocent and fun post is just well... it's just kind of FAIL...

Nice. I wanted to get this game all the same. Good to hear that reviewers liked it. That means I'll probably love it.

No....even Daemon says the balance board is clunkier than just Wii/Nunchuk. Im not "knocking" it either. I even said it was just my rant when it comes to doing something I do and they say it feels just like it when it does not. I wanna like the game Im just not willing to get on the balance board it'll make me feel dumb because I ACTUALLY skate.

@stof
Which is why I put "Rant" on that post. It was my personal gripe because Ive actually done the sport. And like Ive posted above he said the Wii/Nunchuck feel better than Balance board.

Guys, just yesterday I got my reviewers copy for this game and honestly it deserves an 8.5!

This game has the friggin best motion controls I have ever seen in a Wii game. It is so damn responsible I was almost freaking out, honestly.

You'll see our review as fast as possible.

I understand what you trying to say Valkyrie00 ,but its a game.A skate simulation game,definitly it'll never feeling like real skate.But still, it feel much more reality than normal gamepad.

So i hope you understand why someone said like that,they didn't try to contempt skater.They just feel it more reality than gamepad. :D

This post alone almost made me jump out of my chair and run to the nearest game store. :P I can't wait to read the review!

I've been waiting to read a review from this game just to see the basis of what works and doesn't in the game. Looks great. I'll have to add this one to my "gotta by soon" list.

It's surprising how well Balance Board games are reviewed this Christmas. Looks like Nintendo should put aside some of those boards to be sold separately.
