I'm still hoping that when the rest of the reviews come in it will reach 90%...don't know if thats possible now though.

I don't understand how Call of Duty: Modern warfare 1.5 got eight 100% scores on metacritic.

Wait, I do understand, Activision just bought these reviews.

 

Reviews shouldn't be trusted, no game can be perfect. You can only give a game a perfect score if there isn't a single flaw in the game, not even a small one. So these so called professional reviewers are telling me that there isn't a single flaw in modern warfare 1.5? There is 0 lag online? The graphics are the best ever seen? The singleplayer is longer then 5 hours? It's not a linear single player game? It does a whole lot of new things?

 

How can you give a game a perfect score with obvious flaws like this? I'm not saying this game is bad, I'm just saying that a perfect score is a no can do.

 

 

There's no need to hate on Modern Warfare 2 because it's out-reviewing a Mario game.

So the reviewing system has been shown to be broken once again?

It's getting close to mario kart wii scores (82 on metacritic vs 86 for NSMBW right now), so success and quality are guaranteed.

Yep, such as mario & sonic at the olympic games has less than 70% on metacritic but user reviews was lot bigger and sold millions so everyone's a winner.

I actually gave valid reasons why I "hating" on MW 2

If you don't think those are valid reasons then make a counter argument instead of assuming stupid things. The fact is MW2 doesn't deserve all those perfect reviews and you know it... What's so good on MW2 that isn't in MW1?

 

Why don't they dock points for the short single player? Very small graphic leap compared to the first one? Even less players for the online mode?What makes MW2 deserve a 100% score? It just confuses me, do you have the answer for that?

 

I'm going to give you an example here... Metroid prime 2 and 3 had to dock in some points on many reviews because they were too similiar to the first one. Hey, I'm not going to deny that, but why don't I see something like that in the reviews for MW2? It hasn't got anything new in it. I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between MW1 and MW2 on youtube vids in online.

^^there is a simple answer to that. The gaming media is biased against Nintendo ever since the Gamecube released.

I am gonna go to the point where for me and many many people and by many i don't mean 5 i mean in million agree that no game can top mario
