But this isnt a split screen... and doesnt look chaotic in my opinion... hence why they use different colors for the multiplayer...red, green, blue and yellow :)

But that's the whole point of this new game.  TO be chaotic and have tons of stuff happening at once.  As well as having 2-4 players playing at once instead of forcing you to play split screen.

If they're complaining about it (especially about it making the game harder), in my opinion that looks just like another example of hypocrisy.  As many reviewers keep complaining that Wii games are too easy and lack 'good' implementation of coop aside from gimmicks.  And of course, if your teammates aren't working well with you, you can throw enemies or objects into them and 'show' them you want them to behave.  And if they just suck, then you probably wouldn't be playing with them anyway.

I remember reading edge. There were commercials every second page.

oh the irony of this thread.

there will always be something to complain about Nintendo games

So they're trying to repeat the success of the smear campaign against Wii Music, I see. The world will be a better place when they shut down.

Thank you. Your post will be conveniently ignored by everyone, by the way.

His post wasn't ignored.  There's just a lot more behind reviews than a cut and dry 'this game is good, that game is bad'.  Sure Mario Galaxy got high reviews, but much of that was because of hype.  The same hype that pushed GTAIV up to a perfect score on many sites.  At the same time, its the counter-effect to that hype which lowers many Wii game scores, as reviewers see the Wii being so popular with no solid basis in their minds.  The system isn't the strongest graphically, isn't the most popular with 'hardcore' gamers and isn't generating the most marketing.  Yet it sells the most systems and software.

In short, they review Wii games more harshly than other games, and only a few games, such as Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3, get high scores because they have strong hype behind them and are popular even with reviewers.

And if anything, I'd like to point out that if Edge gave Mario Galaxy a 10, it just shows their inconsistency with scoring even more.

Some of the concerns are true... for example. i would definitely not revive my noob gamer girlfriend during harder platforming part. There's nothing sadder to see someone die a million times while you wait.


But still buying it. This is the reason I bought my Wii, and if it plays like the old SMB, it will be a great seller.
