I actually agree with the Dirt 2 score, didn't think it was bad. Sure it was a cheap port but its a lot better than most traditional Wii racers...sadly.

From GoNintendo, no write ups posted just scores.

So it's Fifa time again.
Well, I wonder if the Wii version is worth 84%, maybe I'll give it a try then.
Although I doubt it will be better then PES Wii, I'm very curious to see what they've done with it.

 

[Leo Cantus]

Wow, high score for dirt considering it was given like a 4 from ign

 

[Hadrian]

I thought the Wii version would be different, it does have a more cartoony look to it.

To be honest I can't see it being better than PES Wii, for me that game is near perfect, just needs more real players & teams.

Yeah, me too, but you never know with EA. Last year they also implemented some features of the PES version into Fifa on Wii, I can see them doing it again this year.
PES Wii can be improved in a lot of ways too, like better online mode, better graphics (it's just too ugly IMHO), and some minor bugs in the controls.
I can't wait till it comes out, I think it's coming in October or so.

PES 2009 got the gold award didn't it?

Colin McRae: Dirt 2 78% -----> ridiculous

 

[Satangel]

PES 2009 got the gold award didn't it?

Don't know, but it deserved a fucking Oscar IMHO.
That game, it's just lightyears ahead of any other football game on any other platform.
PES 2010 is coming out on:

11/03/09 US
11/12/09 AU
11/20/09 EU

So still 2 months patience

Dead Space Extraction - 8: Haven't played yet
Scribblenauts - 7: A little too low. I'd say an 8 is good
Mini Ninjas - 7: DS version is meh, haven't played Wii version
FIFA 10 - 9: Soccer/Football game, snore
Guitar Hero 5 - 7: For being like the first Wii game without friend codes, not to mention a good soundtrack, seems a little too low
The Beatles: Rock Band - 7: Too low, it's Beatles fucking Rock Band
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box - 7: Meh, never liked Layton games
Metroid Prime Trilogy - 8: About on par

Wii

Mario and Sonic at the the Winter Olympic Games 90%: Snore, overrating
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Smash Up 83%: It's a Brawl clone with Turtles, deserves lower
Dead Space Extraction 84%: Haven't played
Fifa 10 84%: Same as above
Spyborgs 80%: Yeah, I'd give it the same
The Beatles: Rockband 90%: Agree
Guitar Hero 5 92%: Agree
Tales of Symphonia awn of the New World 67%: Seems only appealing to Tales fans. From what I've heard, it's just boring and poorly translated
MySims Agents 80%: Haven't played, but looks like crap
Mini Ninjas 83%: Looks alright, maybe lower
Colin McRae: Dirt 2 78%: Heh, considering it got significantly lower scores. Well, the Wii seems pretty short handed on racers and even more shorthanded on realistic ones

DS

Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games 91%: Snore, overrating
Mario and Luigi: Bowser`s Inside Story 92%: Snore, overrating, not a fan of M&L RPG
Scribblenauts 82%: Maybe 3% higher in my book

 

[Canonbeat234]

Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games 91%

IMO

Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games -5%

It's not a Mario and Sonic game until I see major platforming!!

 

[SpaceJump]

Metroid Prime Trilogy - 8

WTF, only 8? They gotta be kidding...

 

[shakirmoledina]

i hope the ds version brings something better bcz pes wii being so gr8 is great news for wii users here (guess i will advertise the game here a bit)

[GeekyGuy]

Wow, surprised to see M&S Olympic Games do so well on both systems.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Meh, ONM scores are ALWAYS biased, why even care? I mean, M&S sucks/sucked so bad , and still ONM gave it 90%... And those edge scores are just too low...

 

[Rogue Trader]

Official magazines always bump up their scores- ONM does it with terrible titles like M&S, OXM does it with half their reviews. It's especially skewed if the game is a first party title.

You can't really trust reviews like that. I generally will look at several (preferably independent) reviews, but in the end the only way to tell for sure if a game is any good is to play it (unless it's superman 64, or an imagine title-then you just know).

 

[Hillsy_]

Edge are critical on purpose. If you see a 7 think of it as an 8. Also, an 8 you can think of as a 9. It is the way the magazine has always been. 6 or lower are usually bad. I don't always agree with Edge.
