all in all a good score. And look at the score for sound wow.

Wow. I was expecting a 6.5. Impressive! :)

for those who are lazy and don't want to click through the article

8.5	Presentation Stunningly minimalist (and creepy) user interface, slick menus, well-made and rendered story, lots of unlockables. Some unfortunate mid-level loads and glitches.
8.5	Graphics Really impressive. Great art style and equally great tech combine for gorgeous, varied levels and insanely detailed models that usually animate beautifully. Some framerate and camera hiccups.
10	Sound Superb. Breathtakingly ambient soundtrack perfectly sets the mood. Excellent character voices by A-list celebrities Thornton and Hopper. And chill-inducing sound effects.
8.0	Gameplay Really fun action-adventure with tight controls and a balanced mix of character upgrades and exploration. You won't want to stop playing, even with some technical bugs.
6.5	Lasting Appeal There's no multiplayer mode of any kind and the single-player adventure has run its course in fewer than 10 hours. Adept players will complete it much quicker. Some unlockables to come back for.
8.0 Impressive	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

I actually don't expect this to sell very well at all, but hopefully it does since it is a new experience, and it looks to be very well put together. People who put effort into new ideas deserve to do well.

lol, the game would've gotten 8.5 if it was not for the lasting appeal, still a good score though.

holy shit at the sound, a 10 for it. Men, Wii lineup is really getting strong.

Why....why do they torture me so? I have to get into medical school and they decide NOW to release these good games?! I don't have time to play all these games...and to make things worse, I got no money!

I want these games....but faith has given me a different road to take

lol another 8

Looks like the main poor point was the length... though many seem to disagree with IGNs 7.0 for Heavenly Sword even though that is an equally short game.... so perhaps IGN values game length higher than most other gamers.
