We all no wii games get at least .5 more on every other site then on Gamespot. For the first tim i ever seen gamespot's score is higher then the other reviewers average. the game is the new spider man game. it got a 7 while the average critic rating is 6.3. its a shcok in my book. this might be good news for brawl and galaxy and other wii games to follow

.7 isn't overrated. It would've probably been lower but the new rating system is in effect.

You see what the new rating system did to Bioshock, and MP3? It is by NO MEANS easier, or more leniant. If it was the old rating system, MP3 woulda got 8.9, and Bioshock get 9.3, and Halo get 9.8

Now to defend my views on Halo, just look.

Gameplay... Duh 10, greatest formula of grenade dual wield with items and all...
Graphics... 9, but most likely 10, they did a whole thing called "graphics evolved"
Sound... 60,000+ bits of audio with the great songs and all... Most likely 10, but could be 9
Value... 10 No doubt, Forge, Theater, garies mod like value... INSANE replay value...
Tilt... 10... Jeff Gertsman + halo = 10. I don't even see why it got 9.5... deserved 10 on new rating system

It can be in favor and it can be not in favor. If a game is rated 6.8 it's going to go up to a 7. If a game is rated 9.2 it's going to go down to a 9.

I think that you might be getting a false positive at the moment, since there are still only two reviews up, and one is a 4.5.

u guys think it deserved a 9? i guess its just me. I just thought it had no replay value whatsoever and was way too easy. I dont think it can compare to the original but thats my opinion

The original? Which game do you mean? I think it's definitely better than the original Super Mario Brothers, and I found Super Mario Land to be too slow paced. The only game which really beats it for me is Super Mario Brothers 3.

That reveiw was a composite review for all 4 platforms, and it was noted that the wii had some visual issues. So I don't know if that quite counts as a straight up 7.

Tony Hawk PS 3 (not a Wii game). Wasn't really a 10, although aweseome, I'd say 9.6 max. But whatever. Wario Ware Smooth Moves. >_>

well i'm not entirely sure of that. You see, that assumes that gamespot still uses its old scoring system to determine their score, and then just rounds it.. however, i believe this new system was implimented to allow them to score games in a different way, without being restricted in the way the old system was. Think of the new system kinda like how IGN does things, the overall score is not an average of their breakdown, but rather a score that the reviewer feels the game deserves overall. Gamespots old system always alloted a certain percentage to each category, but maybe sometimes it shouldn't be like that. Maybe sometimes there are more factors to a games score. Not saying gamespots new system is better, merely that they aren't using it anymore..

NOPE... there is no more scientific method...or any method to reviewing the games... Now they just say ' hmmm I think this game is a 9.0' there is no use of the old system to bump the scores up or down...
