Warioware 9.1 sounds about right to me [i assume you mean smooth moves]

9.5 for halo3 is probably right, though i wouldn't know because i personally find it dull.... as for MP3 it definately deserves more than Warioware, i would say on par with Halo 3 [or maybe .1/.2 less]

as for whoever from 1up who gave halo a 10, thats just OTT, i would ask what other games have recieved a 10 to check for bias but no game should get a 10 when working on a scale of 100 [0.1-10.0]

If i were to rate the games MP3 would probably get 9.4/9.5 and Halo3 [assuming similar controls/gameplay to 1st Halo] would get about 6... now that would be properly biased.

As for the review content, i do feel he is being an ass on MP3 comments.

Cannot agree more with you mate. But I believe that AT LEAST Metroid Prime 3 meritted a 9.0. I mean the control scheme ALONE could be a major plus when marking the game. When was any console game rated to have controls near to the keyboard and mouse setup of the PC? None, until MP3 arrived. Apart from that it toally inovated the series. It added voice overs, the ship-visor, corruption [hypermode], VASTLY different worlds and as every major game site out there said "some of the best visuals [art style of course] ever seen in any videogame." Apart from that it also added acheivement points - which results in the screen capture modes etc.

Halo 3 rightly deserved it's 9.5 score, but Metroid Prime 3 rightly DESERVES a better score.

It is hard to understand why fans are so concerned over scores and not the content of the review. Different sites base their scoring under different criterion. Gamespot typically scores lower, across the board, than other major review sites. That doesn't indicate a bias, thats simply their review system. All that indicates is that their reviews are not directly comparable to some other sites without adjusting for the difference in average reviews.

 I have to admit, it definitely showed that the reviewer at Microspot was playing the game on the "Basic" sensitivity and it also showed that the guy didn't finish the game at all. He didn't say anything about the ship's interactivity in the game, and he especially said this quote that I still don't understand today:

 QFT: "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption delivers what everyone expected it would do, no more, no less"

 So that's basically saying that the Wii controls are just a gimmick and are nothing special compared to the dual analog-stick control scheme or whatever. Honestly, this is what makes the game even more exciting but there's not enough credit for it! Also, the interactivity with the ship in this game is incredible too, I mean you're really attached to Samus' ship, which is something I would never see in other FPS of the sort.

 But meh, I guess I'll get a fanboy tag now for stating my opinion about the review... =/

Here we go again with the Halo 3 vs. a PS3 and Wii game review. Why didn't you say Resistance: Fall of Man or Heavenly Sword?!?

Gamespot's Site Stats:

All:

Wii:

XBox 360:

PS3:

As you can see, there seems to be a slight bias against the Wii but we really don't have much infomation to make that kind of conclusiong. I suspect that Gamespot has multiple reviewers who probably favour certain genres which may be under-represented on the Wii as compared to the XBox 360/PS3.

Now, I don't think that you can really pay too much attention to the review differences between games like Halo, Metroid, Bio-Shock and The Legend of Zelda because the difference in these games review scores largely comes down to personal preference; many 'core' gamers would give Metroid or Bioshock a slightly lower score for lacking online gameplay but for many gamers in the general public that is a small feature which is not important.

Wow... -2.1%... but seriously, all of us already knew that Gamespot is biased against the Wii, just like 1up. The solution? Don't visit that sites :)

To be fair....it's only 0.9% lower than the X360, which in turn is 0.5% lower than PS3 numbers.

Their always lower than anyone else, maybe they are just more negative on Wii controllers than other's, therefore giving them a lightly lower ranking. Not everyone is madly in love with Wii controllers. I know it's hard to understand, but that is the case with some.

But to be fair, their % average of higher review scores is in the middle of the X360 and PS3 numbers.

There is always bias as it is just one persons opinion. In the end I am not sure why this matters so much to people. Just read around a few reviews and see if you see a pattern of things you may like or dislike. Hopefully Nintendo can get on the demo wagon as that to me is a good way to get more people to buy games. As someone else mentioned if you don't like their reviews there are plenty of other review sites to choose from that may be more in line with your taste.

I don't know why people care so much about what a site or magazine says about a game. I've never bought a game because I read it was good, or stopped buying one because it was said to be bad. I take the time to read what the game has in it, and maybe look at some video of it, but I never read reviews. Trust you own judgement and taste. You might be surprised.
