Quit your whining. Gamespot's reviews are fine and if you don't like them then don't read them.

I think they are slightly biased but not as much as the TC is making them out to be. And that whole America hates the Japanese thing you said, TC... Just no.

i agree. I dont get my reviews from gs anymore because i usually dont agree with them. You should find a site you generally agree with. That doesnt mean gs is wrong, they just dont review to the opinion that you would. So that means find a site that does. I go with IGN usually. I use GS for 360 reviews though, because I generally agree with them there.

yeah happens with every console that comes out, games are bad at first then, get better because they are learning the mistakes they are making so then the games get better.

i actually think that gamespot has some type of thing were they think nintendo wii is top of the line and all the games should be to so when a game comes out that is preety good they think it's not good enough so there is how you get the bad rating

Unfortunately for you, the Wii has been getting totally fair results. There really just have been a lot of sub par games on the wii.

You should really be complaining about the developers who keep putting out these crappy games.

I Compair IGN to gamespots ratings of wii games, and ive found GS is More Harsh on the wii and More Favorable towards the 360.

IGN has it's own, Self-Contained, Wii Divsion with its own eiditor and reviewers, who review the games and compaire them to other wii games, were as the GS Reviewers are compairing them to 360 and PS3 games, so of course they will look like crap if you do that.....................................

I Trust IGN's reviews more, they seem more in tune to what i like...............

I've noticed that, too. I think GameSpot should do that... get their own division for each console.

Gamespot has good reviews. I like to average Ign's and gamespot's together and it makes a good personal score. Gamespot and Ign have the best reviews.

Well.. I agree they need to get people to just review the Wii. Nothing else. It is kinda wrong to get a reviewer that just reviewed a FPS on the 360, and the next day get him to review Mario Party 8 on the Wii.

Why is it, is it because Nintendo is Japanese? and Gamespots american.!!?!?!?!? iceldc

3 of last-gens GOTY were Gamecube games. :|

the reason for the low scores are simple... aside from probably Warioware, not 1 game has justified having Wii controls in trade for better graphics/smarter AI/better physics, larger environment/etc. its not Gamespot's fault that most of the Wii games right now suck.

ZeldaTP was a good game but it was just to easy, it needed something more. Plus the sidequests were 1. Dumb and 2. got stupid rewards.

I spent like20 hours finding those stupid bugs for a wallet?

The Reason why gamespot reviews are bad for the wii, is because they have gotten spoiled with all the Hd graphics of the Xbox 360, and PS3. All wii games look like **** except for the games made by nintendo, but still they are not HD graphics, they still are very blurry. So that is why wii reviews are bad on gamespot. But if you hate gamespot reviews of wii games, go to my youtube channel, search for wiirocknroll. I only review wii games.

Sticking with one review site generally isn't such a good idea, it's better to go to mutiple sites to see waht they all have to say and judge the game off of the combined reviews. Then once you play it you can form your own opinon. Thus far, I agree with Gamespot on their WIi game reviews, they've given out a couple of A's and AA's but the fact is that most of the Wii games out there right now aren't that great. Even if you do decide to use a site like IGN, the difference between the ratings usually won't be that different.

Their Wii reviews do suck because these days all they want are 360 graphics and online play apparently they cant survive without those 2.

You guys talk like its one person rating these games and that one person stands for the whole of gamespot. Well they don't. Different people, rate different types of games, for different systems.

It's okay to disagree with Gamespot's reviews, but it's not okay to unjustifiably accuse them of being racist.
