Forums - Nintendo - IGN AU Wii Sports Resort review

Figlioni, Daz is just being facetious. Put some fresh batteries in your sarcasm detector.

Dreamcast and psp were both epic failures, so why compare them to the greatness that is wii? Both of the things you mentioned got crushed by competition.

Seriously, IGN AU has something against the Wii. They trash it just about every chance they get. This isn't a grand conspiracy against Nintendo, the Wii, or Wii Sports Resort. IGN AU just had their cornflakes pissed in by Nintendo a few too many times and now rage against it a decent bit.

Before I skim the thread, can someone tell me if there are any more comments like this? My IQ is rather high at the moment, I wish to keep it that way.

OT: 6.5. lets see what other reviewers say before we decide anything.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

wii sports already proved that reviews were broken and that reviewers had completely lost touch with what the consumer is looking for. It's a joke if you read some of the wii sports reviews and i'm not surprised that WSR would get the same treatment.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It's a 6.5 to the people that read the review. Who actually expected this game to be amazing? It has really low production values...Nintendo could've cooked it up in a jiffy.

Well if they had put 30-40 minigames and if they tried to be more creative on how to implement those in...then i guess the score would be higher.

I believe Nintendo gave more of the same, and for me its missed chance for making something remarkable..anyway i am buying WSR

6.5 seems fair IMO

Oh, those angry Aussies. I remember when I lived there. So biased, a lot of them. Hell, I had one actually try and insult me just n the spec that I was American - and this was before the Iraq war and 9/11. I think the heat makes them crazy. No telling what was up the reviewr's butt, since its winter down there.

@maykissthebride - I see you're somewhat new here. It's usually for the best to ignore Okey's posts when it's a Wii related topic, he's a cheerleader for any negative Wii news. I recommend WordsofWisdom's ignore script.

Why is that you all immediately scream bias when 99% of you haven't played the game, there are virtually no other reviews to compare this to and nothing in the past gives us reason us to believe this reviewer is a "Wii hater"?

I give up. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Wii Sports Resort is perfect and this review is full of shit. I know better than this person who has played the game extensively over the past few weeks despite the fact that I myself have never even been close to touching it in my life!

Beyond the game review

That's funny. Because I'm sure that reviewers for gaming sites do the same things we do here, and understand the market the same way we do. They know that WSR isn't for the "hardcore". If I can realize that WSR is just for people looking to have a good time in sessions with their friends, I'm sure that the guys at IGN realize this too. That being said...this game just MIGHT not be that great. Is that hard to understand?

If that is the case, then why didn't they review it based on what the market wants in the game rather then some arbitrary standards that IGN thinks are importaint? Basically, they didn't write it for consumers or with their readers in mind.

And this is why I hate gaming press.

Because you review it based on the tastes of your main audience, not based on the target market of what you are reviewing.

Is that so hard to understand ????

Most of the people visiting IGN site are gamers, a majority of them young men I would say ( seeing how IGN has a a decent section about babes every week that's what I would expect).

And WSR is probably not the game most teenagers/young adults men will want to pick up first....

 

So the review does make sense based on the tastes of their audience.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

i don't think the game is 6.5, because from people that played it, i only know that it rules



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Ign au gave gta iv 10/10. I see no and absolutely NO reason to trust people like that.

You don't trust half the reviewers on the internet, then?

No comment if you agree with half of the reviewers on the internet. I`d surely be banned for life time if I commented you as a human-beeing.
