Wow.... I am not even a huge fan of this game and give it higher than a 7. I think this is the first time I have seen a Wii game get a lower score on here than G4 or IGN.
Just slap "NEW" on the title or "Returns" and update the graphics and you get a 10/10 it seems. Good for Nintendo, but a perfect score, I think not. 9/10 for me.
I am far from a "hardcore gamer" and there is nothing I hate more than a game where you can't use the d-pad to control the character. I quit playing many DS titles for this very reason.
I smell an overrating as well. Just from the bleh whinny Samus storyline, switching from first person to 3rd during boss battles, and the getting more missiles and health with some weird mind trick, 2-3 points should have been deducted right off the bat. I know we shouldn't hold 1st party titles to a super higher standard, but lets be truthful. We do and should. That's why these games take so long to develop and that what we pay for. Franchise games like Metroid help sell consoles and when they slack on them we feel cheated. When reading this review and felt like I was watching Americas Got Talent and the judges are praising a 5 year old little girl for doing the robot. Now, I am not saying this game is horrible, but if a game is sub-par it's sub-par.
My points from 2 years ago will expire after June 30th. I have been saving them in case something good pops up. I guess I'll have to settle for Game and Watch 1 & 2. Hey, I can always sell'em.
Haven't played it yet. I am sure its worthy of a 10 though. Perfect example of what I said earlier. Bit Trip great=platformer, but no where near a 10 like Mario Galaxy.
I was very excited about this game. I bought it right away, then traded it in a few days later. I just couldn't get into it. I don;t know why. Its not a bad game, I just didn't like it for some reason. I guess I'm more of a Street Fighter IV guy.
I am a DJ and I have loved DJ Shadow for years now, but this DJ Hero game is just a disgrace to real DJ's. It is nothing like the real thing. Rock Band is much closer to really playing a guitar than this is to DJ'ing.
I tried it on the xbox and I have to say, it is good, but there just isn't enough stuff you can stream. I went onto the website, and just kept getting dissapointed when I saw something I wanted to watch and it was mail only.
Maybe its just me, but I remember tracking this game down for the N64 a few years ago. It set me back about $30. I played it for maybe 20 minutes, and just got really bored. Just not my kind of game.
Normal expectations. I am perfectly fine with the same game and formula with just minor improvements and additions. This is just one of those games you don't overhaul and try to "re-invent."
The last time I tried to play this game was like 15 years ago. I gave it another go this week, and after a 20 minute battle with a bunch if 8 bit monsters, I remember why I stopped playing it back then. I wonder what would happen if me and 3 friends ran into a bunch of monsters in the woods... would they stop attacking us after their turn was over?
Texas Hold'em Tournament is way too slow. It takes forever for people to call and bet. Te animation is sluggish and I just hate pointing my wiimote all the time. All you really need is to call raise and fold. A D-Pad and 1 and 2 buttons will suffice just fine. The Miis just look akward. Maybe this one plays better. The best case would be a wiiware game like HB cards, but done right with several cards games, more rules and options and online play. I would pay 1000 points easily for that.

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th February 2011 (North America)
I agree. I haven't purchased anything on the Wii Marketplace in a while. And that kissing game looks like a $1 Xbox Indie game.
Re: Mario Party 2
Nice. Should be a lot less stressful on my Gamecube analog stick than the N64's.

Re: Review: Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)
Another terrible review. 10/10 is supposed to be perfect, epic, classic. I love Kirby but this game is far from any of those descriptions.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th October 2010 (North America)
500 points for a Demo of Ivy? Sad.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th October 2010 (North America)

Re: Nintendo Download: 27th September (North America)

Surprize Surprize Surprize!
Re: Harvest Moon 64 Will Not Sprout on Virtual Console
I never understood Nintendo passing up chances to make money. This is obviously an easy sell.
Re: Ivy the Kiwi? Gets Release Date
Ehh i don' like platformers that I can't control the character. That's why I didn't like games like Kirby Canvas Curse or Lucidity.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th August 2010 (North America)
Pfft.
Re: Review: F-Zero GX (GameCube)
I could never get past the first level.
Re: Yes, There Really Is a Zelda Master Timeline Document
Its nice to know that the games aren't just random, but I hope that they do release this info some time. Even if its years away.
Re: Review: Furry Legends (WiiWare)
The video looked nice and the visuals are pretty, but I really don't consider a game a platformer when you are just a ball rolling around.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th June 2010 (North America)
Mario tennis 64 is probably the best in the series.

Re: Nintendo Considering Online Play and DLC for Future Zeldas
"Future Zeldas" That means Zelda in like 6 years.
Re: E3 2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns This Fall

Re: New Sonic 4 Trailer Almost Makes Up for Delay
Delay almost always=more trailers.
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
Haven't played it yet. I am sure its worthy of a 10 though. Perfect example of what I said earlier. Bit Trip great=platformer, but no where near a 10 like Mario Galaxy.
Re: The Westerner (WiiWare) trailer
Honestly it looks cute, but I'll stick to Red Dead Redemtion.
Re: Nintendo Trademarks 3DSWare, DSMovie and Other Intriguing Phrases
So is going to be a Nintendo iPad?
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP RUNNER (WiiWare)
Can't say I agree. I love platformers and hurray for Bit Trip, but a perfect 10 is just ridiculous.

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st February 2010 (North America)
That's $50 of Monkey Island. If you are gonna have more than 3 chapters just release a disc.
Re: Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Gonna have to go with the 360 version for this one.

Re: Castle of Magic
+1 for more platformers!
Re: Bit.Trip Void
all these bit trip games just seem ...yawn. Fun for a day ...maybe.

Re: Doc Louis Wants to Fight You
Selling for about $30.00 on eBay. Hmm... Might wait a little while before redeeming my code.
Re: Excitebike: World Rally Coming To WiiWare
Very nice. My first memory of the original was at the arcade. Somehow the joystick made it more fun.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (21st Oct)
My Aquarium just wont die. Is it really that good?
Re: Nintendo Download: Pinballs, Fights and Gravity
Any word on the new Lostwinds for the US?
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (7th Oct)
I still can't believe how long that the My Aquarium game stays in the top 20. The developers must be really proud.
Re: Happy Holidays: Halloween
Why not just send them a picture off of the picture channel for free instead?

Re: You, Me, and the Cubes
Enough with the puzzle games already.
Re: Texas Hold'em Poker
Oh I would throw in a nother 500 pints for wii-speak incorporated too. Cants have a good card game without some chit chat!
