On Gamespot...no surprise. IGN are wii lovers and their review posted on Sunday night I believe. With itgetting the betterreview it will get a little more attention than any other wii multiplat game, but the XBL crowd are gonna put up the biggest numbers for this game, so that's who it's being marketed toward specifically.

Oh good grief.... maybe EA, since the 360 version is the one they're wanting to push (see commercials and other ads), that's the one they sent everyone for advance review?

Do we honestly care what Gamespot has to say about any Wii game? I don't. There's too much obvious bias.

does it really matter what gamespot says? are they the most important people in the world that dictate what is good and what is bad? umm no. if i listened to gamespot, i'd be missing out on soo many great wii games - but since i don't trust em' my wii collection has exceed 15 games (vc not included) and most of those games are like below 7. (ie> 5.5, 5.5,6.0 etc) so if ur still relyin on gs to tell u which game to play and which not to play, well sucks to be u.

Yeah, say what you want about IGN being wii lovers, at least they seem to enjoy the games which I can relate to alot more and hence why I trust their reviews more. That and gamespot is pretty much the last to review any given wii game.

I mean come on, 6.8 for Excite Truck? I still would say that game is in the top 5 games currently out on the Wii. Such an underrated title.

GS has given only two Wii games (not counting VC) scores over 9. They are RE4... and WarioWare Smooth Moves. WTF?

Although Mario Galaxy will probably warrant a 10...

EA claims to have backed the wrong horse and talks about taking on special projects with the Wii and then doesn't send out their flagship for review? Doesn't sound that likely to me...

IGN even goes into the newer aspects that were brought in to curry favor with the "Casual Gamer" segment of the market of which Wii is the biggest proponent and the top choice in the segment...

Sounds to me like somebody dropped the ball...

They couldn't suddenly change the marketing focus when it was only 2 months before it came out. These things take months, but I'm quite sure you'll see a difference next year. What's important as far as Wii owners are concerned is how good these new aspects are, as well as whether or not the online play is worth it. We'll just have to wait for the reviews.
