Forums - Nintendo - Metroid Wii is going to get PHENOMENAL reviews!

gitanil on 22 August 2007

Yea, exactly. As a journalist, you don't have to enjoy a game, but at the very least they could try to be unbiased in the previews. Gamespot is harsh on reviews and such, but at least they maintained a professional ethic and remained neutral.

1up on the other hand compared the gameplay to Halo and graphics to PS3 and 360 games. You know what forget it, that site is a piece of shit. I shouldn't even be writing about it.

concerning the 1up preview i tried to read it but it was like an angry person trying to sound nice about something you could clearly see then couldn't care less for.

I was very put off by it and skimmed it basically it said great game controls great but graphics aren't up to par with bioshock.... oh yeah you don't say

Timmah!,

dont put too many hope on score review
Bioshock is Bioshock
I believe no game will kill Bioshock this year ...

Moreover, it doesnt mean that Bioshock is better than Metroid Prime, they are different games so different player on different console will enjoy the 2 games



Time to Work !

uh oh. Isn't ck the one who made the bet about 1up giving it at least a 9?



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

^^^ Very well said.

I officially hate 1UP. And to think that their name actually derives froma NINTENDO game.

Metroid Prime 3 Hype Level: Corrupted

Reviews:

1UP - 9.0 

IGN - 9.5

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read their article.

It's a real problem with reviews... sometimes you read a review, and you immediately know: He just didn't feel it. He doesn't know what this game is about. Their complaints may even be somewhat valid, but that's not the point.

It always makes me sooo angry when I read a review of a Zelda game, for example, and the reviewer goes "Well, the story is lame, again, and there's still no voice acting, I mean, CMOOOON it's 2007 hellooo??? The franchise is growing stale, there should be multiplayer battles, it's Ocarina all over again, booooooring" - and you just know it's 100% the game you've desperately been waiting for.


Currently playing: NSMB (Wii) 

Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii), 
... and of course Zelda (Wii)

What the heck is this 1UP preview? It's nothing to the plot of Halo 3 and Heavenly Sword? Halo 3 is The Covenant invading earth, after losing the best part of them: the Elites, they might as well change the name of The Covenant to "The Monkeys" because all that's left is the retarded brutes (who's AI has looked nothing short of ridiculous in the videos shown so far). Heavenly Sword is a terminally ill girl who decides to kill an evil emperor before she dies. That's the whole plot...

Then, they say the graphics suck because it doesn't look like Bioshock, claiming it looks nearly identical to the Gamecube games (which it doesn't... not even close). How are you even going to compare Metroid Prime 3 to Bioshock? They are completely different games on completely different systems. Then, they claim the first area is a copy of Halo (I watched the full first hour, and it looks nothing like anything in Halo).

The only redeeming factor in their review is at the end they say that they shouldn't judge the game on the first few hours... after spending an entire preview judging the game on the first few hours. I can't wait for 1UP to go out of business >_>

Can we please get over the "OMG 1UP/EGM, the bias is killing my eyes!" in every other thread?

Just read the reviews (or previews in this case) and see them as a point of view of a single reviewer and might not be exactly the same as everyone else's opinion. Don't just look at the scores, but if you do, notice the scale on 1up/egm is a bit harsher than most places.

All those awesome Bioshock reviews set me up for a let down, and I'm disappointed with it... what a bummer :(
