Wii Sports Resort scores an 8 on Gamespot.

Here's the review. What are your thoughts?

Gamespot gave a higher score to a Wii game than IGN? That blows my mind.

Generous score

Im mildly suprised that GameSpot gave it an 8... :?

Hahahahaha. they should stop trying to make the Wii users on GS happy. majority of us stopped coming here for reviews. GS is only good for their forums. After Gertsman left, this site's reviews began to fallapart. Now all they care about are ad's and money. mostly CNETS fault.

caught me off guard. but i guess it ruins the whole "bias against wii" theory... or not >_> stupid fanboys always find something to complain about >_>BrunoBRS

Seriously, some people will find something to complain about, regardless of how glum the situation truly is. All of this time, people around here have been complaining about GS' alledged bias against Wii games for the scores they've been giving certain games, and when a game comes along that gets a good score, they manage to see something negative in it. I'm not even sure how such a mentality comes about, and quite honestly, it's disturbing. This Wii Sports Resorts review falls in line with most of the other ones I've seen; the game appears to have some activities that gravitate towards some people more than others, but the overall package is enjoyable and MotionPlus is definitely legit. That's seems to be the gist of things, and if that's the case, the game is worthy of the scores it's getting.

If the original Wii Sports got a similar score and this game has more to offer and a better control scheme, why did anyone expect worse?

A pitiful attempt to throw us conspiracy theorists off their trail? If they don't actually give a legit review every once in a while, we would find the reviewers and attack them in their sleep or something. lol 8)

I won't be picking this one up right away, jut because i don't want to buy the extra wii motion +. I will wait until RS2 comes out and get both of them together.

its a wii sports game, seriously people.

To those saying Gamespot isn't bias against the Wii, you're partially right. This review was done by Gamespot UK; the reviewer was kinda weird, but he was very objective in his review.

Gamespot US on the other hand, are bias pieces of ****

im picking it up, looks fun, especially sword fighting

Wow! I don't care for Gamespot's reviews, but when they give a game a really good review I always check it out (because they're such snobs usually). Glad to see this game is being so well recieved! I can not wait for Sunday

Oh stop it.

yeah...so you've played eh?

what makes the score so generous based on your thorough play-through of the game?

Gamespot reviewers are completely out of touch.

Yeah GS reviewers are at least when it comes to Wii. Anywho, I am stoked about the Swordbattling portion. As I was watching the preview on the Nintendo channel, they went deeper into the gameplay and it was awesome. I like the accurate strike mode. I still wish they had Boxing on it though. I don't care if it's a resort, its a video game first and that means they can put whatever they want in it. I want Online Motion Plus Boxing.

Wow, I really didn't expect that one :O

Not bad at all actually surprised it scored that.

I know! I can't believe it either.

Maybe there was a mixup. Lol.

Yeah, I'm just being humorous. Maybe I should put a disclaimer in these things...

I have to say that this is the best review of the game i've seen so far... Video that is. I like this guy as a reviewer... Very relaxed. One small gripe... Why in the bad section is there a reference to the Wii M+ add on... Isn't this a little over the top, as if searching for a complaint? Sure we have to buy something else, but whatever as long as it makes the game better. Small complaint.

Honestly, this is the first time I'm glad Gamespot is on crack.

gaming4us

Me too. I am in shock.

Epilogue: The reviewer had to be on shrooms. End of story.

Nothing against WSR, but this is Gamespot we're talking about. GAMESPOT.

It does bother me thaat you have to buy and extra thing to play this game. Honestly I wasen't all thate xcited about this in the first place. Ill stick with the original for some fun times on the occasion.

You do know the MotionPlus attachment comes WITH the game, yes?

This game must be good to get a 8 from Gamespot.

I have had the game for a month now, and being a bit more in the position to comment on the long-term and single-player value, I am disappointed in this score.

Wii Sports Resort is better than 8/10.

8/10? Gamespot reviewers have no friends :P

The game comes with a Wii Motion Plus, however if you're talking about multiplayer mode, then yes, you would need an extra Wii Motion Plus to play 2 play, and 2 Wii Motion Pluses for 3 player, etc.

As for the review, again, I'm surprised to hear that no one likes cycling. That game looks like it might be one of my favorites.

Thats suprisingly high was expecting around 7 or 7.5
