Rock Band 3 is a fantastic game.

I do not see why it could not be worth a 10.

Maybe they are rating them for what they are. Like, Kinectimals does a better job as a pet sim (or whatever it is) than Dragon Age does as an RPG. Rock Band 3 getting a 10 is similar, maybe it's perfect for what it is?

One of the worst sources I have seen for reviews. They are super inconsistant, but I can see Dance Central getting a 8 but Kinect Sports is not of that quality.

Rock bands been well recieved critacally across the board from bout every gaming site,mag and person intrested in the genre and widely hailed as one of the few still trying to be inventive and fresh.

Its being recoqnised cause its not been a rehash but more a step forward and doing it right straight away.

Look at new vegas thats just a step back and hindered by crappy engine and tons of bugs....it could have been higher than a 6 if Bethesda didnt swear by that horrid engine :S

Eh, I love Goldeneye Wii, play it with friends locally and everything, I'm not sure if you're saying thats too high or too low, but I'd say its just right. The single player is a little bizzare with it being Daniel Craig and all. Ultimately its not like its some brand new game. For a "remake" of sorts, I think it deserves it.

The new Rock Band is averaging over 90%, so I'm not sure what you're getting at...

I think an 8/10 is much too high of a score. I hated the 5-6 or so hours of that game I played before I gave up on it and put it on the shelf, where it will remain until my house burns down, or something equally as tragic.

Because you can easily compare a score for a pet sim to a score for an RPG :roll:

Are people willing to forget genre standards in attempts to prove a point?

Edge has a preference for the 360. That's no secret at all anymore.

You can't compare the scores of games from different genres. While I agree that the scores of DAO and Witcher seem low I haven't read the reviews so I can't really say how well they justify their scores.

Though Bioware is my second favorite dev., I wasn't much thrilled with DAO myself but 5 hmm, seems too low and yeah, those thinking it's fouled up because Kinectimals > DAO should remember Nintendogs got the AAA from GS :o so ya know, just sayin. :P

If that were the case the case then Kinectamals would get a 10. It's a useless videogame, and it shouldvebeen rated as one. And I wouldnt call it a "sim" either. GT is a "sim". Does kinectamals have at least 50 animals let alone know what countries any of the animals in the game are from?

Is this the same Edge associated with GameStops? If so, then there is no doubt it is bias and has a preference towards the 360.

I noticed in your blog that you found there was alot of issues with the controls. If you're interested in giving it another shot(with wii controsl), here's a great control scheme i found in the forums that is just beautiful!

Go to the Wii's controller settings on the GoldenEye menu, and click Customize.
Go into cursor settings and do the following;

Set the deadzone to 17 above, 37 across.
Set the maximum turn to 100 (which is default)
Set the horizontal speed to 50
Set the verticle speed to 10
Set the cursor sensitivity to 20 *blahzor edit! max works great too!

Now go into the ADS options, and do the following;

Set the deadzone to 17 above, 17 across.
Set the maximum turn to 90 above, 90 across.
Set the horizontal speed to 15 *I prefer 20
Set the verticle speed to 10
Set the cursor sensitivity to MAXIMUM.

Now exit those options, and set the camera to; Wii Remote Turning, and turn 'Look' OFF.
Have the Auto re-centre and Turn while cursor off-screen settings ON.

Credit goes to malcom_wb on the goldeneye wii forums here at gamespot. I found his settings to work extremely well for me.

Personally, i think goldeneye wii is fantastic. Sure its online is a weaker version of a CoD game.. but it's splitscreen and campaign are incredible! most fun i've had in a FPS campaign since CoD4.

I was not saying because they are related to GS (although I thought they were), just that 360 is without a doubt the most loved console by the media and the video gaming industry. I think there has been way too much bias towards it. It is not as bad as it once was, but its definitely still there.

Mmmmm another well deserved victory for Rock Band 3 :)

And I thought Kinectimals being better than Dragon Age: Origins was a known fact by now? No?

gaming25

I just used the word 'sim' to simply what the genre actually is, which is...I don't know what.

I'm pretty sure there's some problems within its own foundation leading to the reason why it didn't get a 10. But it's one of the first games of its kind, so it's likely to get a higher score than the other big name titles that have fierce competition in their own genre.

I actually agree with those scores. As another poster pointed out, reviews are based on what the game sets out to achieve. Dragon Age was a SNOOZE fest--an extremely cookie cutter rpg. Perhaps Kinectimals does what it needs to do better than those other games. Same deal with Rock Band. Though with Rock Band, if each sequel isn't really adding new features, it should be reflected in the score. Because really, Rock Band--love it or hate it--works, in the same way a game like Tetris does.

I dont know of Irate, but yeah the rest are pretty awful. ESPECIALLY G4. Man do they make me angry. The ammount of ignorance and unprofesionalism is crazy.
