Nice. "it features the most customizable, precise and enjoyable controls of any console shooter created, hands down. Meanwhile, the technology powering the experience is leaps and bounds ahead of most third- party offerings for Nintendo's system." Congrats to HVS. Hopefully the sales will be good as well.

It'll get a maximum 7.0 from Gamespot. They won't acknowledge a Wii game as being good regardless of quality. Metacritic will probably be like 85-91 with GS having the lowest or second lowest score out of 80+ reviews.

The game has problems, or so I hear, but other than that, I hear it's basically Perfect Dark with online multiplayer. And that, my friends, is a positive. This is the spiritual successor to Perfect Dark. Let's forget about PDZ, shall we? ;)

Holy cow, that is a lot higher than expected. I would like to see it score AA here, but the official hype is still A, and I think it will be met.

Wait, what, Perfect Dark, it's being compared to my favorite FPS, sweet, and it's hard to forget PDZ when it's AAA here.

The game isn't perfect, but if it sells well, you can bet they will go all out for the sequel. Risk will no longer be a factor!

I'm glad that they acknowledged the games shortcomings and calculated that in, I was honestly expecting them to give it AAA with as much coverage they have given it:P

Very good score, can't wait to pick this one up on Wed!

Time will tell, but there's actual factual history that shows GS generally ranks Wii games lower than most other sites/sources.

Yeah lets wait for a few more reviews. ign HAD to give it a high score. Considering they were hyping it like mad since day one and the backlach they recieved after the NMH review (mad hype then a mad bomb). Thinking of it like that, it actually scored pretty low.

Anyway it does look like a good game so lets see some high reviews and high sales.

No. If I can'tplay these games due to control issues I doubt anyone can. I am lenient on controls but if a game controls are so horridly broken (like in re4, mgs3) the game could be still good. But horridly broken for games like ssx blur, ea sports slam, and skate it which makes it impossible to play no I don't care if you are freakin cyborg. You won't be able to play those games well.

Why should I have to learn to like the controls of a game? There is no learning curve except for strategy games. I dig games like x-com, civlization series and others. Doesn't mean it should be impossible to hit a tennis ball in a freakin tennis game, or skateboard in a game about skating.

No scripted scenerios -- the way gaming should be. I can't stand single playercampaigns that force your actions and play like you're reading a book (ahem, COD).

RE4 had broken controls. So did mgs3. It wasn't my fault. I think there is a consensus that the controls in both games suck badly.
