I think that when someone actually does do a good Wii game it is a surprise... those high scores for SW snowboarding are almost completely due to the fact that you can use the wii fit as a snow board

OK, explain it to them like they are three year olds;)

Seriously guys (random letter guy and Jo21 in particular), you either didn't read the opening post, didn't understand it or shouldn't use big terms like "cherry picking", if you don't understand what they actually mean.

In the gameplay vs. graphics argument, most reviewers seem to come down on the side of graphics. That automatic deduct for the Wii means it will almost always get lower scores.

Sometimes this is warranted. But when reviewers decide to knock the Wii because it can't go widescreen (when widescreen is not germane to the situation), then there is a problem with the review system.

This was a complete waste of time.

You listed 5 reviewers. Then, you don't even explain what the hell those numbers mean, and follow up by comparing 5 games. One being GH:wii, which I'm not even sure I understand how the versions are different except for the score.

I just wanted to comment on the title of this thread too.

When I read it, I thought it meant:

"Now you can be absolutely sure that the wii version is inferior"

:P lol it was pretty funny.

O rly now? well like some guy on here i cant remember just said, in the end the official scores by the so called "Big boys" dont matter to much.

Uh, mike, the Wii can definitely go widescreen. it also has progressive scan :)

Widescreen should be standard. After all people have become used to black borders on dvd movies for a decade why not games too.

Ive got an SD widescreen, it should be standard and its the reason why i wont get Trauma centre 1 or that Rygar.

Graphics are a natural inbuilt bias in reviews, its obvious.

I see everyone bitching about Guitar Hero World Tour on Wii getting better scores, well here's the reason, the Wii version like it or not has more modes then the PS3 and 360 versions as well as having all the songs, online, and DLC. Plus like Guitar Hero 3 it has rumble and speaker support on the guitars which all together puts it as a better effort on Wii.

Also to anyone posting in this thread without reading/understanding the OP, what's the point in posting people? I mean read what the OP says, it's talking about examples of where the Wii version is not significantly lower in score vs other versions. Which is happening third parties are finally getting an handle on how to take advantage of the Wii much like the first couple of years of 360 really didn't offer much and taking advantage of it's hardware, I mean look at how CoD3, Perfect Dark Zero, and a few other first year titles then look at things like Gears 2... it's night and day... So people bitching and whining need to get over yourselves and you're only pissed off because you don't have the "but multiplat games suck on Wii and scores show it" statement to hide behind and troll on the Wii.

Sorry to waste your valuble time. I thought it was clear that the scores were all from metacritic which rationalizes all scores to a 100 point scale. If that was in any way unclear, I apologize.

I can't really apologize for the title. I can not figure any possible way for it to be misunderstood.
