Sure, you may be thinking. "A 9.5 is superb!", but after they gave Metriod Prime 3 a perfect 10 and Fire Emblem a 9.5, the score seems rather pitiful now. If there's any Wii game out there that's as close to perfect as can be, Super Mario Galaxy is that game. It should have gotten a 10 from them.

If they were harsher on their reviews like Gamespot, then I would've been happy with the 9.5. But saying that MP3 > SMG = FE does not feel right.

No, they gave it a 9.5, which was still a rediculously high score for that game.

I was shocked that NINTENDO themselves didn't give it a 10. Come on! Metroid Prime was better, If Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy were the only 2 games for Wii I would buy Mario Galaxy over Metroid Prime 3!

rayman raving rabbids got a 6.5????

the simpsons game got a 4.0??????

Please people, rather then complaining that a game got 0.5 less then perfect, focus on some of those other scores that are actually LOW for what they should be.

I LOVE rayman raving rabbids 2, i dunno why its getting all these low scores, id give it an 8.5

the simpsons game i rented and would give it a 7.0.

what does mispelling a word have to do with ever playing a game? Also even if he hasent played it he can still see that none of the other review sites have given it a very high score, which means it does not derserve that great of a mark. So we have learned two lessons today

1.) grammer does not have anything to do if you played or havent played a game before

2.) Even if you havent played the game before, it doesnt mean its good.

Yeah, I get NP and everything, but I don't trust their reviews. I think they should stick to writing magazines and not video game reviews.

It doesn't hurt anyone to click spell check and how can anybody say something doesn't deserve a rating if they haven't even played it. That's why I left SW, people wildly accusing a game they've never played of being bad...

Galaxy is definately the easiest of all. But all the 2D games were much much harder especially the NES games.

Right, if you did answer me these:
1) [spoiler] What chapter do you unlock the Black knight [/spoiler]
2)How many parts is this game split up to?
3)What is the new laguz species added to this game?
Anyone who played this game would be able to answer these easily.

im not gonna be anyone's lapdog. The fact that you equated my bad grammer to the knowledge of game is just dumb. the series needs advancement and they refuse to do this.

Man Fire Emblem is creating a lot of controversy as of late. Well atleast it is getting attention, that's what I always wanted Fire Emblem to get more of.

And whoever said it didn't deserve above 8.0...

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/932999.asp?q=Fire%20Emblem

There are many other reviews above 8.0.

I never read game magizines that only cater to one particular console because the reviews are very biased, of course Nintendo Power is going to rate Nintendo games with the highest review grade come on fire emblem is good but I dont think it deserves a 10 or a 9.5 I would see it getting a 8 or 8.5 Game Informer is one of the best magizines when it comes to reviews unlike gamespot. Game Informer gave Twiglight Princess a 10 and GS gave it a 8 come on.

If Game Informer gave TP a 10 and Gamespot gave it an 8 then Gamespot > Game Informer 'cause Twighlight Princess is no 10.

Mario games have never been hard and mario Galaxy feature some challenging levels. Have you played New Super Mario Bros and sunshine they aren't as hard as some people think. The only think that may be consider by some people hard are some of sunshines blue coins missions which are optional.

Thenumber of a score doesn't mean that a game is better than other. A game thatget a 9.5 can be much better in gameplay, graphics and sound than a game that get 10. What i mean by this is that a game can get a 9.5 because the multiplayer is not very good and another can get a 10 because it doesn't have multiplayer. I hope you understand what i mean.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get in to SMG like I got into Metroid Prime or even WarioWare or SPM. What, you expected all of nintendo's own games to be perfect 10 worthy?
