I've never understood what all the AAAA, AAAE, etc meant. Good news for WSR though.

A = 7/10

AA = 8/10

AAA = 9/10

AAAA = 10/10

Anything with an e after it = platform excusive.

It'll probably get around 8.5 on here anyways. It's a Nintendo magazine so I'm not surprised but still good to hear.

can't see anything confusing anything that translates to those sorts of scores is the same therefore 9/10 = 90% = AAA (includes anything between 90% and 100%) or 4/5 = 80% = AA (and if the game is exclusive to one console AAe)

Someone who didn't know what it meant, like me, would think all the A's mean it's +90%. Why not 7=C, 8=B, 9=A and 10=10? What it is now seems a bit misleading. Before you told me I though each A was a different form of an actual "A" i.e. A=9.0, AA=9.3, AAA=9.6, and AAAA=10. :P

I'll be buying it regardless of score. Although, I do think it'll perform well across the board in terms of reviews. I need a new pick-up-and-play kinda title.

Nice score. I hope it continues to do well and receive great critical reception and sales.

All it means is that that Official Nintendo Magazine gave it 94%.

For me buying this game was always a no-brainer and the more I see of it the better it looks. The plane portion of that "demo" video looked really amazing and makes me ache for a new Pilotwings game.

Because fanboys in System Wars made it up. B/A/AA/AAA originally and only truly refer to the budget of a movie or game, not the critics' scores. A B-movie is not a bad movie necessarily; it's just a low-budget one. Triple-A is big-budget blockbuster. It's an exaggerated way of saying A, just like how some X-rated movies have "XXX" in the title ;) Here's an article written by a game developer in 1998 that explains what AAA, AA, A, and B games mean.

Fantastic score. I'd take the score with a grain of salt though. Official Nintendo Magazine might be made up of Nintendo junkies.

Given how much I've got out of the original I'm anticipating this quite highly, I'll wait for a few more reviews though before making a decision.
