No, this review is fake. All ONM reviews that are for Wi-Fi enabled games have a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection stamp on them next to the name of the game. this one does not. I do not believe that is a coincidence as they do not make small little mistakes like that. It is supposed to be there, but isn't.
Not to mention, look everyone. THE RELEASE DATE IS WRONG. June 12th!? Don't think so. Again i stress that these little mistakes would not be there if this was legitimate.

I am quoting myself just incase anybody missed my post.

How technical is your game?

@Ixis

I have seen many mistakes made before... a release date error is not un-heard of, same for missing a WFC label

Good point. I'll wait and see how this ends up.

I see what you're saying. But i've been reading these magazines for as long as i can remember. I cannot recall the last time i noticed such blatant mistakes. I also don't believe that two very obvious errors were made on the same review. Not to mention the review itself seems a little off, but i wont go into that.

June 12th? Looks like someone is looking at shopping sites for release dates:

GAME is incorrect in their stated release date.

Lol, so why are these people putting up fake reviews?

Aparantly the complaint is its too much like perfect dark zero instead of like more modern shooters, but they say that the controls are good, so that's all I care about, not to mention that I liked Perfect dark

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I was expecting it to average around 80 (but then again, i was expecting that for Punch-Out!! and was pleasantly surprised), so i'm not too fazed by this.

@ixis.... Well I haven't bought it for a few months, but there have been a few blatant errors before. One issue they must have included something they shouldn't, so all copies had a page ripped out... I vaguely remember part of one of the information boxes for an article ending mid-sentence too.
