to the people whining about the score, have you even played the game yet? It's not out in the US until the 15th, it was released in the UK on the 12th and it's the best purchase I've made for the Wii so far, yes that includes titles such as Zelda. The game last longer than an hour btw, and those saying it lasts an hour are talking rubbish since they haven't even played the game yet.
The story mode IS short, however, but the game is about partying and as a party game and as a single player it's infinitely more enjoyable than anything that has been released on the Wii so far. Remember it's a party game with a short single player mode - but this game is the best example of how to utilise the Wiimote, something Zelda failed to do with it's tacked on controls and often dull gameplay.
The game is a helluva lot of fun, is cheaper than the current Wii titles by 5 quid, and is easily the most fun game out there at the moment. At the end of the day, you can whine all you want about the score, but as with Zelda get over the score and actually play the game, then make a fair judgement based on that.
For the people who can't believe the score, I can't believe GS was generous enough to give Zelda such a good score, I thought it was the worst 3D Zelda so far, but hey opinions are like aholes and everyone has one.
GS is not the be all and end all of reviews, and if you don't like the 9.1 stick with IGN who gave it an 8.1 - that is STILL a good score, hell any game that scores above 7 is a good game, so what's the complaint? GS gives it's first 9.1 and people complain without having even played the game. Logic obviously not a strong point.sekhu
The entire gamespot staff was saying the same thing when they reviewed Zelda: you guys haven't played the game yet, you'll see what we are talking about when you play the game.... Then, after about a week, people played the game and still went nuts on this site about the review.
My point is: With the amount of reviews/previews there are on the internet with any given game, you can tell whether or not a game deserves a score even if you have not played it (as long as you read other reviews/previews). Believe it or not I HAVE played this game also. I personally think it deserves an 8. I think it's absolutely crazy that it got editors choice and I really think Jeff was just trying to get people to stop saying he's anti Wii. I also find it VERY VERY hard to believe you prefer this title over Zelda. Unless you just Love party games and really dislike Fantasy Adventures then I cannot for the life of my see why you would prefer WarioWare over Zelda TP.
On a side note, if gamespot keeps this kind of rating system going I REALLY believe the Wii could get a very high 9 (like a 9.8 or 9.9) game with Mario Party. When my GF and I played WW for the 1st time, we both kinda looked at each other and said "MARIO PARTY IS GONNA BE AMAZING"..... For those of you familiar with the franchise, you'll see where I'm comming from once you play WW.
