Wow, Zim that's a neat feature of GameRankings I didn't know about. Having explored a little more, it's evident that the general impressions in other threads of IGN, 1up and GameSpot are accurate. IGN has the closest reviews accross systems, and rates more posititvely in general than the other two sites. GameSpot is fairly close (PS3 = +0.1, 360 = -1.0, Wii = -2.0), with a slight systematic bias against the Wii and an even slighter one against the 360. That fits in well with the fact that they're all over the map for ratings. And 1up is the most hardcore of the three, and definitively has an anti-Wii bias. (PS3 and 360 ~= -3.5, Wii = -10.0). So there, the proof is in the proverbial pudding, and that debate is over. Thanks. |
Actually, Gamespot's % from average is really weird if you look closely at their game scores. They lowball games like Zelda and Metroid while giving a game like Warioware the best score out of all the Wii games. They have a lot of titles with large differences in ratings. For Warioware to be their highest rated Wii game, I have to throw out all their opinions. It's a fun game but I wouldn't give it higher than an 8.5/10
| Warioware | 91% | +9.3% |
| Twilight Princess | 88% | -6.3% |
| Metroid Prime 3 | 85% | -7% |
| Super Monkey Ball | 83% | +10% |
| Red Steel | 55% | -10% |
| Scarface | 58% | -12.8% |
| Far Cry Vengeance | 55% | +17.5% |
| Harry Pottwer OotF | 50% | -21% |
To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
... and yes opinions matter. We have more than 100 posts crying about Lair here. Is it nothing? PS3 survived the drought. Lineup is strong. No reason for compassion, also there is broad group of people who don't find Wii games attractive. RE4, MP3C and Zelda. Nothing more for me. If I find it so great as you do I would just buy it. I even deleted my post in "2 games per system thread" because I wasn't able to find two games I like to play on Wii before December.
