Forums - Nintendo - IGN Tenchu review.

Go Tenchu go! (o^_^)O

Not that I consider this a particularly reliable indicator of anything but at the moment, it has a Metacritic score of 79 largely because of one low (70) score from, oddly enough, Nintendo Power.

Hey guys, an 8 for a Wii game on IGN is pretty high. They don't give out 9s & 10s like candy as some of the other reviewers on IGN do ;)

That's very true.

Rather low compared to what I expected.. why is everything a 8?!?!

I know, right!?  Matt said it'd get higher than what we're thinking in the lastest NVC.  So I was expected an 8.5 at least.

Anywho... I preordered at Gamestop on my way home from work.  So I'll have it tomorrow.

 

 

Whoa, I think you need to lower your expectations a little bit. 8.5 is veering into Amazing territory, and he never said anything about that.

 

8 is a very solid score and anyone who is interested in this game should definitely pick it up.


Hopefully this is the beginning of the Wii-saving 2009 year I've been hearing so much about.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

I totally agree

I didn't have much interest in the game, but after watching the video review, I think I want it x}
If Deadly Creatures doesn't get better reviews than this game, then I will cancel my pre-order (for the moment) to get this game instead. I'm just spending too much money on games, omg!

DC, HotD, LKS, MW, and now Tenchu!
I have the money...I just don't feel right spending all that cash!

Add me for Pokemon, New Leaf, and Fire Emblem, Mario Kart 8.

8 is a very good score for IGN nintendo. They are very strict with how they rate games for DS and Wii. Considering the previous bad tenchu games, it's nice that this one is good critically.



Hum that start 2009 very well. If it can keep an average score above 80 on gamerankings I might have to get this one too.

But @Hyperion, I think deadly creatures will get an even better score.



Great to see this score so well. Hope it does equally good sales, but it's got some stiff competition this month.



 

Do you think Deadly Creatures will get a better score? From some of Matt's comments, I don't think so. Anyway, great to see this. IGN or any other "professional" site might not be very reliable on new kind of games like Wii Music, Wii Fit, etc, but I still trust them on traditional games.

Damn, I want this game, but dollar is at 14.60 pesos right now!! =S
