So far that one A score was based on an unfinished build, they admit it. Everything posted on metacritic is based on final build, or at least that's pretty much how it's been for a while now. Keep that in mind.

I too think AA. Maybe an overall Metacritic score of 82-85?

But the reason they gave has nothing to do with the build. They said it hurts that they don't give you an option to turn the sixaxis controls off. Everything else was fairly positive.

Yeah, that one thing hurts so it warrants the game to drop to A status? then Gamepro should pretty much make every Wii game A status cause you do the same move the controller and push buttons stuff right? Hypocrites.

They don't but since lemmings have been marching their warbanner around with a gamepro magazine review that no one can post (as its NOT on the website)cows should have the right to throw a second opinion up that means just as much as the crap they've been flinging. Not that it matters since its not a GS review but fair is fair.

Theres no telling how gamespot will go though and thats all that matters here. Some people will love the motion sensing and others will hate it. I think the people at gamespot have played enough Wii that they should be able to pick it up without too much fuss though, so I have AA hopes for gamespot, I think 8.5.

I believe what one person said about Gamepro, that they try to make statements with their reviews. Like what they're trying to say to developers is "don't make sixaxis the only option".

no, if gameplay sucks the score sucks. and why would any dev spend almost 2 years making a game look and sound amazing just to screw it up with crappy gamepaly. the game wouldnt of scored a 90 if it had crappy game play

and btw PDZ scored a 9 in gameplay... and saying it had crappy gameplay is ur opinion

Meh, the whole point of flight combat is to be realistic, basically the Sixaxis control is working like a joystick would in this situation, which is far more favourable over analog control sticks which are clumsy and a nuisance to work with over a joystick.

I looked at different games and they seem to have similar scores with gamespot review.

Dunno about that site, but lets wait till Gamespot,Gametrailers and Ign reviews.
