hey, reviewers are gamers too. There are gamers who like the wii and who don't like the wii. Most reviewers and critics are paid to be personable, not professional robots. Of course personality is going to shine through.

Then MAYBE people who like the Wii should review Wii games. I actually laughed when IGN bitched about Fire Emblem not having Mii support.

Yup, but MP3 is also worthy of a score bigger than 7/10. Demonstrates my point. ;o)

Do you really think that 7/10 for MP3 and 3/10 for The Conduit are accurate review scores..? :Oo

Didn't we see this review already months back and bitched about it?

Yes we did.

Four months ago.

Oshit, xD Sorry!

Don't worry, everyone loves hearing themselves talk so they'll continue discussing even a review this old.

low score, but the first line fits the game. "Style over substance".

I don't understand what are the people here talking about. He gave the game a score lower than you think it deserves, so he is not able to review games? He made some statements you disagree with, so he is an anti-Wii fanboy?

Geez, folks, why don't you get used to the FACT (see discussion above) that there are people out there with all kinds of different opinions. Let's face it, the typical Wii release really IS a shitty minigame collection which lasts a few days at best before you forget about its existence. The reviewer says that "The action is fast and amusing, the artistic design is fantastic" but the game "is ultimately the sort of fleetingly enjoyable title that entertains for a few hours" - a clear and understandable OPINION, and I can find no "hate" against Wii in there.

This is what reviews are all about - they are full of opinions. What do you expect? 69 is actually a pretty good score. A really great one considering how the kids are crying since the bad guy wrote something about their Wiis that the kids did not like.

Oh and by the way: I own a Wii. It is actually my only current-gen console at the moment. Just sayin', in case anyone would like to call me an HD-slave or something.

I've found that most games are like this. I play a few days, a week or two if the game is really good, and then I stop playing. I really don't understand why people think this is unique to the Wii.

They just pretend it is to make the other systems look better.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The problem is not that there are biased -- and in this case obviously biased reviewers.

The problem is that these biased scores get incorporated into the meta-review-score sites (Gamerankings and Metacritic). Then people cite the rankings on these sites as evidence of the quality of a console (or lack of quality on another).

It is amazing to me the anti-Wii rhetoric that gets spouted by some reviewers -- it is as bad as politics.

I'm betting that reviewer would probably give Muramasa like 15 to 20 more pts if it was released for a different system.
