IGN's MP3 Review going up at 12:01 Am Monday Morning

Matt said that is the latesy Wii-k in review.

He also expect's other site's to rate the game in the 8.0-8.5 range due to "Alot of Anti-Wii Bias out there", he hint's that the game will get "a way Higher score from us", he even hint's that it may be a perfect 10.

i think it'll get around 9.7-ish from IGN. and the site they are referring to is either gamespot or 1up, but most likely Gamespot. As for his review, i look forward to reading it sunday night/monday morning. Matt always seems to have good reviews, and they are doing a double video review (both matt and bozon will be sharing what they think of the game).

i dont think it'll get a 10, but i expect it'll score high on IGN.

8.5 on Gamespot i imagine though (not because they're bias or anything...i can just see Metroid flopping on gamespot)

It would have to be GS reviews he is talking about... they are quite a joke... THPS3 perfect 10 :|

The forums however are quite good.

No, actually Their reviews are pretty damn accurate. They give games like TP the credit they deserve, and don't over-rate shootem-ups with chainsaws at the end of their guns.

Seriously, why would you come on this thread and say something like that? What drives you? People like you should be banned from living. Troll.

Yeah, my strategy is to go to IGN for reviews, and GS for the forums.Ponmop

Great strategy. I adopted it a long time ago, with many others.

I live in Atlantic time zome. How many hours of a cross over would that be?foola12

I think it'll be up at 3 for you

BTW, it probably won't be up at exactly 12:01, it was more like 12:15 last time.

You think that's bad? I started last Monday. :(

I'm guessing because IGN has forums that you have to register just to view?

No. It's because their forums suck compared to here. Their revies and features are awesome though. GS's saving grace is their forums.....It's really the only reason I come here.

maybe it will get a 10/10 ,because nintendo power gave it a 10/10. also i heared that the only another game that got a 10/10 in NINTENDO POWER history is RE4 for GC.

I agree.

I too go to ign for the reviews as I am not so harsh on videogames. I also go there for my news. The news on Gs is usually a day late anyway.

But the forums here are so easy to navigate.

Demonic_Jin

if it flops on GS and not elsewhere then it is because of bias :P

GS is the most bias mainstreme site around they have lost there edge and i dont even trust there reviews anymore. ( im just bored so i thought i would check the forums lol)

I'm personally beginning to think that 1UP is the most biased. I really think they will try to find whatever reason to give MP3 an 8.5.

However Gamespot is up there.WhenI first started paying attention to game sites...I started off with GS, but over time IGN became better with more in depth info.

PST, IGN is located in California.

If you actually read the 1UP preview, you'd know that they weren't biased and that they were actually praising the game.

Out of GameSpot, IGN, and 1UP, IGN is the most biased. They gave Echoes a 9.5 and Hunters a 9.0. I'm all for Metroid games but I don't like inflated scores. The problem with GameSpot is that their preview sounds distant, but they still praise the game. I'm thinking that they will give the game around an 8.0 - 9.0. I could be wrong though.

For those that think 1UP is biased, take these quotes from their preview. Granted, comparing this game to BioShock graphically is rather silly. That's like comparing God to Jonah, but aside from the intrusive comparisons, 1UP has a lot of positive things to say about the game.

Several key changes and enhancements make this the most refined Prime to date.

The previous Metroid Prime titles may have looked like Halo-esque first-person shooters, the underlying gameplay (heavy on exploration and platforming) stayed remarkably close to the oldschool 2D Metroids of yore.

Once you've come to grips with the learning curve (it could take up to an hour or two), you'll likely find that the new controls actually add a lot to the Metroid Prime experience.

The manner in which Corruption presents its narrative feels like a step forward for the franchise, expanding the previous game's underwhelming realtime cinemas with interactive voiceovers and scripted events.

Considering the size of Bryyo, skeptics worried that Corruption would do away with the series' established level design philosophy have little to worry about.

Considering our memorable hands-on time with the incredibly unique Sky Town planet at this summer's E3 summit, it would appear that variety may be the real secret to Corruption's success.

corruption will still own, who cares what it gets, it will still be the same game.

Well Gamespot gave Twilight Princess alot of praise inits previews and look at what it got in the review.

Gamespot does'nt hate the game.In their preview they basicallysaid Metroid fans will be in for a treat. This game is fun and even better than the previous Prime games. The controls are nice. Turning may seem to be a little slow at first but it grows on you. The graphics look sweet for a Wii game to. Its graphics do not look as good as 360's but who expects it be?

No Gamespot does not hate the Nintendo Wii. "but omg! They gave Zelda: TP an 8.8! They are biased against wii! For some reason they gave warioWare a higher score!" No. Twilight Princess should of stayed a Gamecube exclusive. I found it boring compared to Wind Waker. It deserved the score it got. WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the better Wii game. Stop being a fanboy and admit that it should've stayed a gamecube exclusive. I believe metroid prime 3 will score a 9.0-9.5 on Gamespot. Trust me.

1up seems to be annoyed by the turning speed (I played it at gamestop and its fine...) They seem to bring it up in every hands-on and preview they had for the game. I predict 1up to give Metroid Prime 3 a 8.5-9.0

IGN will probably give it a 9.7 just like Prime 1. I can't wait to get this game! just a few more days!

I used to be a Gamespot loyalist, but I'm also now finding myself to be more trusting of IGN's reviews. I've been detecting a disturbing amount of bias coming from this site, and the icing on the cake for me was when GS decided to go with this stupid, overly simplified rating system. I need detail, dammit. I believe that yes, certain games can be just a little bit better than others, yet now we don't get that sense because of their decision to only use a scale of .5 increments. anucadivad

I think MP3 will get somewhere around a 9.5-9.8 from IGN. Perfect 10? Nah, although Matt's been really pushing the game and he really likes it. I think Matt's right and GS will give it an 8.0-8.5, since they really seem to be pushing for graphics and have been picking Wii games to bits for graphics as well as controls. I wish they'd go back to their old review system though - the .5 increments are just too wide to really get an accurate score.

Too bad I won't be able to stay up and read the review since classes start Monday. I'll just have to wake up and get online to read it before I go to class Monday morning.
