I told ya'll this game is good!!!

Here's a link to the IGN review article: http://wii.ign.com/articles/101/1018836p1.html.

Also, here's the link to my user review: http://www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/spectrobesorigins/player_review.html?id=677792.

Don't judge a book by it's cover everyone, but I don't blame ya if you do. I had mixed emotions about the game before renting it, now I'm glad I did! This game is not eye candy, but if you like depth and fun controls...this is your game!

It will get a 6.0, if GS even rates it.

You should never pay attention to GS, just stay for the forms. I don't care if they give a favorable score...I probably wouldn't bother to read their reviews all the way through.

Yeah that IGN score still surprised me, and then it was done by Bozon who is less lenient than Matt.

I gave the same score in my user review!

That is great, but something about the game's style doesn't appeal to me.

IGN usually has inflated Wii scores.. will wait until a few more places review it.

Yeah the style isn't for everyone...not even me. But the gameplay speaks volumes. A rental won't hurt, but you'll need waaaay more time to finish this game. Nonetheless, it grew on me...so my rental choice will turn into a purchase. Best rental choice I EVER made!

I'll wait for a bit for the Metacritic average. Or I'll just bite and rent it.

as opposed to GS shot down Wii scores? the best way to probably rate a game is take the GS score and the IGN score then just average it out or find the middle ground between said scores, or the median

thats why i don't trust reviewers most of the time but even if ign does inflate them i tend to feel the same way there reviews say but if someone must trust a review i say go to gameranking they give an average of all the critics and user reviews but for the most part the spectrobes games are good action rpgs and that is something that the wii is lacking

Why can't any places do honest reviews anymore?

IGN gives out good scores like pancakes, so I'm not gonna' bother trusting their reviews. Any liability I had toward IGN fizzled away when they gave The Conduit an 8.6.

Nice score, but I'm still not sure about buying this game.

IGN is known for giving Wii games very good scores when other sites don't, but of the many games they gave favored scores to I actually liked.

Can't say I'll try this out... not a big fan of Spectrobes.

A few more places did review it. It has a 77 average on Metacritic, based on 5 reviews.

Reviews are just opinions of otherpeople. Most sites gave The Conduit mixed reviews, but that didn't stop me from buying and enjoying a gem! If I had listened to reviews...I would of missed out!

There are alot of gameout there that are getting good reviews, that just don't interests me. I think you pretty much know if you want a title or not...regardless of hype or review. I'm glad I'm not letting popularopinion sway my interests towards Spectrobes:Origins.

I'm sure it's alright but I can't go spending money on alright Wii games when a bunch of good ones are coming in 2010. 2009 was the year of the DS for me.

Probably a 7.0 at GS. But considering they gave TCon a 8.6 and GS gave it 6.5, this is scary

I come mostly to the forms so much that sometimes I ask why people care about GS reviews, but then I forget...these are GS forms! Wii core gamers are picky....that's why we can't have nothing.
